Resistance 3 is a period shooter where it’s incredibly easy to forget about the era you are supposed to be in. You shuffle along between segments, all of which make you feel like you’re going on a tour of other people’s games, and you can almost hear the developers periodically saying “I hope that you enjoyed that very brief outdoor section that was oddly claustrophobic, because up next there’s a sewer/underground/cave/prison.” But it’s an Insomniac game, so the weapons are amazing.

About our scale… the number of words in our review reflects the score of the game. In practical terms, you could assume that games reviewed in 49 words or fewer should be avoided, games reviewed in 50-75 words would make a decent rental, and games reviewed in 76 words or more would make a solid purchase.
