Resistance 3 (PS3)

I have had mixed experiences with the Resistance series. Like a lot of people in the UK, I picked up the first entry as part of a bundle designed to push the PlayStation 3 while it struggled to gain traction. I had a lot of fun with the game; it was a decent first person shooter with a reasonable hook. Unfortunately, the second game was an infuriating trial, one that seemed to lean far too heavily on the Ratchet & Clank series’ gameplay design without any of the fun. With that experience under my belt, I entered into Resistance 3 hesitantly.

Insomniac’s Third Installment Continues The Downward Trend

Don't resist the urge to experience the best game in the Resistance series to date.

Tightly balanced action and a superb array of guns make Resistance 3 a blast.

While Resistance 3 clearly steps forward as a improvement to the series, it's still not quite a great game overall.

Insomniac does a terrific job of making you forget about Resistance 2 with a sad, beautiful journey through the apocalypse.

An intense shooter experience that proves hard to resist.
