to be fair, as a reviewer I've noticed that MOST reviewers tend to be much harsher on handheld games than they are on console games. No idea why, but I know that a game like gravity rush, if released for the same price on the PS3, would get a 90+ metacritic rating, but as it is, it got am 83. Resistance Burning skies was a solid 7/10 game, good gameplay, good graphics, good audio, good controls, mediocre story, good multiplayer (good everywhere basically) but got a 56 on metacritic

Disagree here. The game has great core mechanics, and decent graphics but everything sorrounding that is mediocre to bad. AI is terrible, the audio seems... weak. Gun sounds don't pack a punch at all, they sound plastic. The story is the worst part, expecially since it's a Resistance game, and I know you know what I mean by that because you loved R3s story just as I did... what a dissapointment. There's one major issue just with the setting. It's set in New York, a city that goes to shit in the blink of an eye in the main series, so why should I care about what happens to people in New York when they're going to die anyway? 

The IGN review nails it.
