The editors didn't like
Dodgy
Superfluous swimming bits
Controls don't work well on handheld

Like the console games the Resistance backdrop is more intriguing than the actual story being presented. The multiplayer is plagued with hackers.
Abstract: Visually speaking, I had some low expectations for Resistance: Retribution given that the original Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 were both released on Sony’s uber-console, the PS3. Well after playing through the various levels that are offer...

Abstract: Resistance's name carries quite a bit of weight with FPS fans, but as a Sony published title, the only place to extend the franchise (without an all-out sequel) is on PSP. And that's just what Sony Bend has done with Resistance: Retribution, the latest...

The Resistance franchise has had an up and down time over the past few years. Tagging along with the launch of the PS3, the first game became one of the most anticipated and successful titles of the launch period. Last year the second next-gen game ...
Amusing dialogue, clean and crisp graphics, intuitive controls
Repetitive gameplay, recycled enemies and weapons
Catering to a portable game console and still keeping Resistance fans happy is a tall order, but at the end of the day Resistance: Retribution pulls off these difficult tasks with flying colours. ...
