Title: Resistance 3 Genre: Shooter (FPS) Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Available Consoles: Playstation 3 Reviewed Consoles: Playstation 3 Ship Date: September 6, 2011 Players: 1-2 (2-16 online) Time to Finish: 8-10 Hours When it comes to exclusive franchises on the PlayStation 3, everyone has their favourites, but only one can claim to have been there from day one – Resistance. If you purchased a PS3 in the early days, the chances are you also bought Resistance: Fall of Man, Insomniac’s first venture into the next-generation, and the stand-out title during the console’s slow start. Two years later, this was followed up by Resistance 2, which was equally well received by critics, but greeted with disdain by certain fans, due to Insomniac’s change of direction with the franchise, and the toning down of aspects that made the first game so unique. So, does Resistance 3 stand tall as its own game, or descend into the bottomless pit of ‘me-too’ shooters? Let’s begin with the story, which has an emotional focus not present in the previous two games (or many other FPSs for that matter), and it consequentially feels very different, which isn’t a bad thing. The main reason for this is the introduction of Joseph Capelli as the main character, replacing Nathan Hale whom the former killed in the shock ending of Resistance 2. Resistance 3 is set four years after that event, at a time when 90% of the world’s population has been wiped out by the Chimera. Capelli has been discharged from the army, and now lives with his wife Susan and son Jack, in a secret community outpost in Haven, Oklahoma. A cure for the Chimeran virus has been discovered in Hale’s blood, and all the survivors have been inoculated. READ THE REST OF THIS REVIEW AT PS3 ATTITUDE
