Bloody three days later for the EU...., Friday seems an eternity away :-(, those tweets from keighley and Garnett have me pretty hyped now.

So do the review embargo's end on the US or EU release date?

YES!, I can't wait until the reviews start rolling in, Eurogamers will be quite interesting, they gave 6/10 for RFoM and 9/10 for R2 :-O

Their RFOM review was ridiculous, not just that score but there were some glaring factual errors as well.

4/5
Visuals

3.5

There's some funky lip-syncing an the counter-melee animation is a clumsy, bumbling mess. The game also froze up on me a couple of times. Those minor grumblings aside, Resistance 3 is competent in appearance but can't stack up to the showpiece shooters on the system.

Sound

3.5

Solid voice work and sound effects - even if Malikov's Eastern Bloc shtick is a bit hammy. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the soundtrack, but it gets the job done.

Control

5

Insomniac deserves a lot of credit here for doing something that every console FPS developer should be doing, but that few actually are doing: implementing fully customizeable controls. My sole complaint is the inability to be able to toggle your scope on and off. In all other control aspects, this is what all console shooters should strive for.

Game Play

4

The campaign is linear and doesn't explore any territory that shooters haven't before, but it is nevertheless strong from beginning to end.

Fun

4.5

Incendiary shotgun shells, lasers that shoot through walls, electrical vortex traps, hedgehog grenades and explosive revolver bullets make for run-and-gun bliss. It's a similar formula to the previous two games in the series, but that's not at all a bad thing - especially when you factor in the new toys.

Addiction

3.5

The constant introduction of new weapons and new levels for said weapons will make players want to always keep on plowing ahead to test out their new tools of destruction until they've eradicated every enemy the game throws in their path. Multiplayer should prove a fun distraction for a few weeks or so, but isn't going to replace your online FPS mainstay(s).

I think dcharlie posted it, and it's gone. I just played it today...the rain and snow are awesome. When you look up, it doesn't keep falling straight...it kinda fuzzes around a bit, like real precipitation.

The snow had that motion blur like element falling and zig-zagging. I loved it. Especially when you're on the rooftop of those european homes and that long ass space ship in the sky. The purple sky was just eerie, too.

The sound track has never really stood out in the Resistance games but I'm sure on one of the Full Moon Shows they said it was intentional, apparently the composer wanted the music to be more subtle and blend in with the set pieces and what was happening on screen rather than pollute them, personally I'm a sucker for big epic music myself.

Respect for bigging up the customizable controls.

I put this on loud:

http://youtu.be/DMCJtdT5J9c

When it kicks in, in the boat demo, it really gets me going. Especially around the one minute mark.


And I like the meloncholic parts in some of the trailers/adverts.

edit: I don't think it will matter to anybody else, but the ochestra sound like they are of some real quality. Much higher than other games. I wander who they are using...

This sounds great...R1 barely had music, and R2 was really military. This sounds cool.

Single player done and review submitted. Loved it, for the most part.

The visuals are spotty up close, but the scale of some of the areas is amazing and there's a few sections where the graphics are fantastic.

Way better than R2, that's for sure.

Did you check out their little video about recording it at Abbey Road? the composer talked about what his ideas for the score were :)

There are some things that Insomniac do better than anyone else. I don't want to spoil anything, but some of the stuff mentioned above from RFoM is bettered in R3. =)

I just want to play it again now, which is surely a good enough sign.

Wow, this sounds a ton better than anything from the other games. Insomniac really went all out with stuff that adds to the atmosphere, didn't they?

Let's go. Bullseye on deck. I'm very interested in R3's prestige mode... Also hated R2's SP but I might actually make it through this one.
