Dangerously Addictive

User Rating: 8.5 | Resistance 2 PS3
I hesitated on playin' this, because I feared this game would suck me in, & it has!! More games are workin' towards the fluid cinematic-to-active dynamic of Heavenly Sword, & some games have the stories (such as this) to pull it off. The controls are not too over the top, makin' it fps friendly. 1 major naggin' point that was not mentioned in the GS review, is the quirky camera work. You, eventually, learn to adjust to the quirks, but it's extremely frustratin' in the beginnin'; especially, when you can't get a visual on the Chimera that's poppin' you, & the action's movin' lightnin' fast. But, it's nowhere near bad enough to put down, despite how many times I died gettin' away from the invincible droids! LOL The scenes are rich, colorful, & loaded with detail. The dark, eerie feel to the atmosphere has you wanna get thru there while bustin' your weapons, but wantin' to admire the scenery. I took a break to stroke this. Now, I'm back at it! LOL
