But Insomniac mentioned that the weapons were what they wanted to create the games uniqueness :P And they did a damn good job at that ^_^

The weapons had more thought behind using them, and that by itself made it more innovative then any COD or Medal of Honor that I've ever played :P

The game is a masterpiece, the best shooter this generation until Resistance 2 came out.

Each to their own I suppose, but you are missing out on one hell of a game.

Dude how long did you go through the campaign ? The first 2-3 hours are boring.. yes, really boring. But as you go through the campaign the game slowly changes.. and you find youself engaged and immersed.. and by some point you find out that you don't want to let down the controller because you wanna know what's gonna happen !..

Resistance 1 isn't the prettiest game on the block, but the story was really good :P and the whole campaign as a experience.. after the first 2-3 hours.

When I say mediocre, it's not a bad thing. It means the game did some things right, some wrong. Overall, a decent game. The weapons were interesting but that was offset by bland enemies and Halo 1-esque level design. Overall, the game didn't do anything to set it apart from the pack. Definitely not 9/10 material, that's for sure.

I wouldn't compare the game favorably to even Halo, a vastly overrated series, but still very solid games.

Compared to something like Gears of War, it doesn't even rate.

Compared to something like CoD4, it's not even in the same league. The AC-130 level, the sniper level... Now that was some damned genius level design.

@Rocket, see I thought Gears of War 1 kinda sucked :x I got tired of the same ol' weapon selection the entirety of the game. To me Resistance 1 was a much better game. But I went into resistance how I would go into a ratchet and clank game, I was just oozing at the seams to get the next weapon @_@ And just the creative use of the guns put resistance over the top for me, it set it apart from the others by it's own merits. And the multi-player was a ton of fun ^^

Well, resistance is already showing its age yes, but for a launch title its a damned fine game. I enjoyed it immensely

i have to admit the second one is a slow starter but after an hour it becomes epic. i dont want to spoil anything, when you see invicsible things you will understand :D

Oh no, I don't agree, I HATED those things lol. What makes R2 Epic is all the boss, they're just too good to be true ^^

It's funny you make this thread because I just started the game today (had only watched people play it and handled it for about five minutes before).

I'm a few hours into it and I honestly don't see what the big deal is about the game. The controls are terrible, it doesn't look that great, the art style is *boring*, and it's just still screams generic.

I'll finish the game before I make a fully judgment on it but so far it seems like a game that really should have just faded into the background.
