Good enough for a PS3 owner, but nowhere near Gears of War or even Halo 2. (Only 3 hours of play)
Resistance is a solid game, but not the behemoth that Sony hyped it up to be. A 9.0 This is not.
In general, the graphics are only average for a next generation game. It looks about as good as Perfect Dark Zero in terms of quality and performance, though the art style is decidedly better. It should be said that this game is hideous on a low definition TV. Sound is ugly. The weapons are boring and have nothing particularly distinctive, squad chatter is circa Call of Duty 1, and surround sound has a nasty tendency to get mixed up.
While most of my time was spent in multiplayer, I can safely say that what time was spent in single player was a disappointment. Simply put, the story is more far-fetched than Gears. There is nothing here that has not been seen before. It's too easy and too boring. The weapons are cool, but the startling lack of any one distinctive weapon bugs me. Look to Halo if you want solid single player.
Multiplayer fairs better. The action is fast and furious, and the gameplay very well balanced. That said, I already have encountered cheating on an epic scale, lag on an unbelievable scale, and not nearly enough people use their mikes. This game would be better served on Xbox Live.
Resistance is a solid game on a good system, but the PS3 is still in need of a Killer App. This is not it.
