I'd agree with you here - Resistance felt like more of the same. Like Quake 1 with new weapons, or something... I kept thinking, "there's got to be something here that made people give this game such high reviews..." Unfortunately, I didn't find anything. It's no Gears of War, that's for sure.

Also, I'll have to warn you against playing R2. I got caught up in the hype (somehow thought it would be a completely different game, stupid me), but it isn't that different. If you dislike R1 as much as I do, stay away from the second. It shouldn't be a problem, there are many more interesting games on the console worth your time.

Actually, the only Insonniac games I've played are R1 / R2. I know should give R&C a go sometime...

 

It's funny you mention Quake because after going through their conversion plant, it's blatently obvious the Chimera are Strogg.

And actually, playing this game feels kind of like Quake...

Really? I never got a Quake feeling from it. Well, maybe a little.

I got more of a "AvP/Quake/Doom 2/Half-Life/late 90s LucasArts shooters/everything else I can think of" feeling from R:FoM.

All I got from it is "Damn, I've played this game a hundred times before". Maybe it's fresh to you guys who haven't played many shooters past Halo but it was damned stale to me.

 

Oh definitely.  If this game was released 10 years ago it would be the game everyone talks about and held as high as Half-Life but since it was released in 2007 it's just overly generic and been done before.

I actually love how they're telling the story like it's some History Channel special, I dig that, and now that I've remapped the controls I even like the controls a little better but the gameplay is just so cookie cutter and the world is just so bare with meh level design.  At the escape from conversion plant you wander through empty house after empty larger house and eventually end up in a very large empty *boring* warehouse before a so-so gun fight. 

The game isn't bad I just don't get why people love it so much other than there was just nothing else when it was first released.
