Why do people keep saying this? I've played Half Life 2 and Bioshock on the PS3. I also started Resistance and have to get back to it. I can safely say that The Conduit is better than Resistance and right up there with the other two. Not quite, but close.

OMG delusional fanboy at his best. Care to list two reasons why Conduit is better than Resistance? Maybe because it provides almost half as long campaign or maybe thanks to much deeper and bigger multiplayer experience /with no lag/? or maybe thanks to better storyline (Mr. Ford my ass lol)... or broader weapon selection... you can compare your Conduit to Conflict Denied Ops or this crappy area 51 game not to quality soft.

I don't agree that The Conduit's single player is on par with Half Life 2 or Bioshock in any way.  Although if they had made more of what was happening the radio broadcasts/messages with FMV cut scenes I think it actually does have a pretty good/deep story.

But I do see similarities in The Conduit and Resistance honestly.  Resistance's early levels especially were pretty bland and boring (stark buildings with crates to hide behind etc.) but they got pretty awesome toward the end.  Likewise, The Conduit (while not on the same level) starts to show its promise near the end of the game.  The story of Resistance is very predictable and bland whereas the Conduit seems to have a bigger universe and some very interesting twists. Both games have cool weapons, but I have to give it to Insomniac in this area.  They are known for their amazing weapons designs and it shows.  The enemies in both games are about the same and show about the same amount of AI.  Graphically and online wise of course Resistance is better because the PS3 has better tech and a MUCH better online infrastructure.  That said, if I'm going to play an online shooter on PS3 I would much rather it be CoD4 or Killzone 2 than Resistance or even Resistance 2 (although co-op is cool in R2).  But I can see myself putting just as much time into The Conduit online because the controls are extremely fluid and accurate and I really think the Perfect Dark level design makes it feel fresh.  There is more verticality in The Pentagon for example than just about any PS3 shooter I have played.  I will be running along and a dot on my radar is right on top of me but I can't figure out where they are because they are 2 floors below me.  All in all, Resistance is the better game but just barely IMO.  R2, Killzone 2, and CoD 4 are another story though.  That is just crazy talk.
