I rented it from gamefly, Played it, beat it.. and its not even half as bad as all these reviews... its easily a 7.0... but anyway i wanted to post this link from gamefly's website. it's the ratings that came from people that have rented the game and decided to rate it. So far, its sitting at an 8.0

http://www.gamefly.com/Rent-Resistance-Burning-Skies/5003606/#.T8qmndVYsjo

just thought that it might mean something to get reviews from the average joe who actually played the game vs. a professional game reviewer who may be 'jaded' by what they feel it shoulda been.

People who rent it also don't directly pay for it (or at least don't pay as much) while critics generally write their recommendations taking the fact that people might pay full-price into account.

oh and btw in case anyone was wondering what sucked about the game (thats if you havent heard already). -guns sound like crap -cutscenes look slapped together and lame -campaign is short (still fun) -lacks a certain flair the others in the series had +story was fine, dude loses family, dude goes after family.. i'll remember it in a few months +controls were SPOT ON! (good job) +graphics were FINE... not amazing.. but fine, impressive but not what people were hyped for +Axe kicks ass, crossbow/shotgun kicks ass. ... also, yes the chimera had teeth.. could see them plain as day, not sure what the IGN dude was talkin about...

Mr. Average Joe isn't any more reliable than a professional reviewer.

if i were to keep this game from gamefly..(which i am) its going to cost me $26.00 -10% discount and $5 gamefly dollars.. anyone else can get the game from gamefly for $29.99... thats hella cheap for what your getting, which is a very solid FPS on a handheld with 2 joysticks.

I can never trust user reviews. The most trust worthy reviews I've come across are from amazon.

user reviews are so notoriously bad and infamously manipulated that here is a research paper made for corporate types to read how to combat the dishonesty of them.

want to read it?

pony up $40 so the eggheads get paid.

User scores are nearly worthless, half the audience will throw out 10/10s or 1/10s like candy.

Would that 7.0 score stand if you dropped (how much do Vita games cost, 39.99?) on it?

The problem out of it was the multiplayer. Couldn't even get into the matches on the first couple of days on it. Now they updated it after the reviewers reviewed it. Looks like Greg Miller and Chris Watters pulled a McShea.
