I finally decided to dive deep into the Resistance series after many years, since I was more of an Xbox 360 guy and never really took part in the PlayStation 3 process when it first started. Going back to this game, I can see where they were trying to really bring a level of equality to Sony when it comes to Halo and Gears of War, but I think this game just doesn’t quite hit the mark, especially playing it in hindsight. The game doesn’t age very well when it comes to it’s difficulty settings, and I found myself being really irritated on normal difficulty dying way too easy on a mode that felt even harder than some Call of Duty games on veteran difficulty. I’m not sure what their thinking was on the difficulty balance, but this game was way off. The storyline was alright, and it was fun to travel around all parts of England for a change. The graphics and music were okay for the time, but the difficulty balancing just really left a bad taste in my mouth. Apparently the second game resorts to health regeneration, so I’m hoping that this fixes that issue and makes the sequel a better game than what this one ended up painfully being.
