Being a new PS3 owner, I've been playing a lot of MGS4. However, this time of the year is sale time in Australia and so I trundled down to my local store to check out what deals they had. I saw Resistance going for very cheap and decided to pick it up...

Given that it was a launch title, I didn't have such high hopes for it, but so far I have been very impressed. The game plays smoothly and the graphics, while nowhere near MGS4 standard are excellent for a launch title. More importantly, I don't need to think about the controls while I'm playing, which says a lot about how great they are. Heck, I spent most of last night either watching Federer vs Nadal (damn it... Federer lost) or playing Resistance during the rain delays.

I can't wait for Resistance 2...

u made the right decision resistance is a good game and its even better if u play with a friend and resistance 2 will be great.

dude I just got resistance from my friend yesterday aswelll,,,,,the graphics as you said are nowhere near MGS4 or uncharted or heavenly sword but it's good looking game for a launch title,,,,,,

the game play is fun( i m playing it with my bro split screen)and fast,,,,,the controls are really easy to pick up. all in all I am also impressed with the game and will be buying the second one on day 1.

Resistance is amazingly fun when played in coop in split screen.

That's the way it has to be played!

hooray for you! i'm also looking to get resistance. how much did you get yours? the cheapest i can find is around US$28.88.

Fellow aussie Resistance fan here as well :D

If you want I can add you on PSN and we can probably have a game sometime?

Those are my exact thoughts while playing this game. I'm not particularly fond of the control scheme (push a button to switch between hip and down the sight views feels wrong after holding a button in CoD4 for so long) and story telling doesn't exactly make me feel compelled to play an extra hour to see what happens next, but it is definitely a great game, one of the best on the system. I'm not a big fan of the gameplay in closed off tight areas, but the wide open area battles are fantastic.

I'm glad they already said that the story tellng methods will be different in R2, which is my major gripe with the game.

Awesome dude :) I'm glad you're enjoying :D Tell me the bullseye isn't one of the greatest weapons ever :3 That gun is just too damn badass!

The only part of the game I personally liked was the Auger--reminded me of the farsight from Perfect Dark I don't know why, the game just seemed to lack a certain something for me.

While the demo didn't blow me away,I bought the game and was definitely wowed by it.It's a fun and solid shooter.
