The controls are embarrassingly casual. Im surprised you said theyre complex.

Well, I quite enjoyed RE5, but you can't please everyone.

I was a bit confused with the controls as well the first few minutes. The weapons I've used so far have been solid. I haven't played any of the Resistance games for the PS3 so I really can't tell if they're unique guns or not.
I know the auto-aiming is there but I still prefer to pump 'em full of lead manually. I mean headshots still needs to be done manually.
Solid review. I've yet to read one where the reviewer had qualms about the game's length,graphics or scope of the game.
I might be in the minority here but I love PSP games wherein they feel like they're home console games.

It really feels like a console-quality game in terms of length, depth, presentation, etc. If Resistance: Retribution is any indication of the level of quality we can expect from the PSP iterations of Sony's PlayStation 3 franchises, then my interest in Motorstorm: Arctic Edge and Little Big Planet has immediately tripled.
And for what it's worth, I haven't found the story or dialogue to be bad. It won't win any awards, but it's nothing like the crimes against language that Capcom routinely commits.

If that's not paving the way for digital distribution on the platform, I don't know what is.

It works with most games even if the system doesn't explicitly support them, but that doesn't mean it works WELL. =/

Are you questioning the chronological order of it's destruction, or questioning why they didn't use it for something?
I bet they didn't use it for something because it's basically just a big useless piece of metal. It's only there to look at, or look from. I doubt it has any facilities for aircraft landing docks or anything...
As for waiting to destroy it until after building a huge structure behind it... it was probably easier to flatten nearby building and build there than it was to rip down the Eiffel. They probably had more of an urgency with the first buildings and didn't have time to tear this huge one down. Once things settled a bit, and the Alien kids started attending school regularly, they found time to handle the Eiffel. My two cents.
03/11/09
No, I'm saying that if this game takes place in WWII, there isn't a tall building next to or even in the same city as the Eiffel. The artists added it, for effect, and then didn't even get the perspective right, since as pictured, something behind the Eiffel would be taller than it.
03/11/09
...I'm sorta glad they didn't, though.
But seriously: in the alternate world of Resistance, the Eiffel tower is imprisoned between a dozen skyscrapers because the French feared a reoccurrence of the tragic "Flower incident", where steel towers take over a whole city and turn it monochrome.

I don't own a PS3 so I haven't played any of the first 2 games. Will that hinder the overall experience?
Seems to me this is in the same gameplay style as the Syphon Filter PSP games (same developer and all) which isn't a bad thing. The Syphon Filter games on the PSP were amazing games.

Sometimes it bugs me when people complain about the PSP getting ports or whatnot. I mean for people like me who can't afford a PSP now, it helps a lot...
03/11/09
Resistance Retribution is not a port, but an original(?) portable game based off a console game. I would also think if it was a game like Resistance Retribution then you would know less about it, which won't really help at all for a person who doesn't know anything about the Resistance universe.
Unless you meant *PS3 and not PSP :/
Not trying to be an ass, but it was confusing, thus I'm not even too sure WTF I just wrote.
03/11/09
I sort of went off a tangent there. I meant Retribution was the only I could play part of the Resistance series of games (for now). I know a lot of people will complain if and when an Uncharted games goes to the PSP. They'll bitch that all the PSP has are ports of its console brother's games. Which isn't that big of a deal really...
=D

I say "ports" because a lot of people keep on bitching that when new games like these are announced, they deem them as ports. Even if they're a completely separate entity from the source material. Take GoW:Chains of Olympus.
"they take a ps2 game and add some extra levels or content to an existing game, they are built to be on the psp, and play on the psp, nor do I get why these games are suddenly bad, when they themselves are highly rate and enjoyed"
Agreed. Just wish other people feel the same way. I'd rather have these so called "ports" and spin-offs than no game at all. Most of the time they're of excellent quality as well...

Also I'd like to add to what Tig Besticles: said. Reviews are very subjective. How can you be sure the person who's review you're reading has the same taste as you? Especially genre-wise. If you asked me to review a racing game it'd probably get a low score since I don't dig that genre much. And so on...
That's why I dig Kotaku's reviews. No score but factual basis on what things you like and might not like.

Guess it's time to dust off the PSP now. But I'm warning you Sony, if I've dusted my PSP for a boring year, there'll be hell to pay.

I also really wanna know how well this well do, would be nice to see how active the PSP market is nowadays.

Sony has made a mockery of putting demos up in the US store as far as I'm concerned. EU gets all the fun.
