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.

 

You took the words out of my mouth, but really I still can't get over the awkward controls... this game couldn't have gotten into the 8/10s of I was reviewing it...

Like i already said on page 1. The more you play it the better it gets. The first few hours are boring and dull, but then it starts to get better and increasingly more awesome. Ends up being a really great game when you've gone through it all !
