I'm planning on buying Resistance dual pack and Resistance 3 and have some questions. How is the story? Is it any good? How long is the campaign? The big selling point of RE is SP or MP? if this game is mostly about MP like COD games please tell me, because that's not what I'm looking for. What I want to know if the RE series is good as just SP game.

Resistance: Fall of Man = Great SP with great MP. Definitely a SP orientated game. Resistance 2 = Not a bad campaign but shorter, non-narrated and not as thrillingly addictive, definitely a MP orientated game. Both have great online components and the story is pretty damn amazing if you ask me but i have low standards for a story so me saying it is amazing could mean others say "It's good".

I personally think the story is great. Alternate reality from WW2 on. Resistance 1 and 2 are way longer than R3. R2 was big on MP and there are still some people playing it but it is no were close to what it use to be. R3 MP is fun but personally I am bored of MP games so I am not a good reference for that question. R1 still has people online but it is around 20-30 people total still playing it. All three games are more SP than MP so story and playing solo will be fine.

Thanks for the info :) so I'm guessing if RE2 is MP focused, that means RE3 is also gonna be mostly about MP too? I'm not really in to MP games, but I saw some footage of RE3 and I really like the atmosphere. It kind of reminded me of bioshock, so I'm kind of hoping for a great SP experince.

Personally I don't like to play famous series MP because usually the community take the matches way too seriously, and if u made little mistake they never let u live it down. It was same with UC2, Gears of War and halo. I mostly have more fun when playing SP games.

I agree with this. Resistance Fall of Man is great, easily my favorite FPS on PS3.

I personally feel all were good SP games. R1 and R3 being better. Plus both have Co-op SP which I love. I wish I had somone to play Co-op with in R3 :(

I wish I could redeem my code to even play co-op in R3. Bought the game new and the code is invalid out of the box. Stupid online pass.

I haven't played Resistance 3 yet, but the story in Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 are horrible, which is a shame because the setting had potential. The campaigns are of decent length, and I'd say single player is the main selling point. Also, most peole will disagree with me on this, but I thought that Resistance 2 was far superior to Fall of Man.
