Well im suprised. It wasnt taken well. The reviewer seemed not to particularly enjoy the game http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/10/joystiq-review-resistance-retribution/

On the other hand, it was a pretty shallow and generally awful review

the reviewer doesn't seem to know about it at all lol "By game's end he even utters the line, "I'm James Grayson, *****!" But frankly, story has never been the Resistance series' strong suit." i think that right there shows how they wanted to downgrade the game

What he said made sense though.

Further into the game there were too many enemies so it became too hard to control! Thats probably true as I could probably see myself making that same mistake as a developer making a shooter for a cramped portable game system...

Joystiq provides a lot of information, but I'm not a big fan of their reviews. I would look at the larger sites for more comprehensive reviews.

It's ignorant and just rather foolish to begin a review with "if only it wasn't on [the system it is on]." What is, is. If something doesn't work one should comment on how it could have been done better.

Some very mixed reviews. I don't care, still getting it.

The controls (based on the demo) were pretty awkward. Not so much camera movement, but more of the directional button controls. Having to press the up directional button to aim more accurately isn't too much fun. Not to mention the voice acting and dialog were both terrible. I'll get it because it's Resistance, and because it could improve, but the demo wasn't especially impressive, and for the most part, that review seemed pretty accurate to me. But again, this is just a demo I'm talking about. The real game could be much better.

Haven't got a chance to play the demo yet but from reading the reviews for the game I have a feeling i am going to like it alot so I will most likely be getting it.
