  1. Sony Bend was able to bring Resistance to the PSP in a way that takes advantage of the system's strengths and feels like it's own game in the Resistance universe instead of a dumbed down version of the console versions.

    It's an essential purchase for any PSP owner and represents an unmatched value on the system.
  3. It's no platform-defining blockbuster, but if you've got the patience to get along with the controls there's a good few hours to be found. Add on some decent multiplayer and it's a good day to be a PSP owner.

    I feel like I should write a review called "Like beating your head against a wall, but no wall available? Try Resistance: Retribution. It comes so close to being a very good game, but in the end only serves to highlight Sony's mistake in not including a second analog nub. You want it, bad, but it's not there. The cutscenes are gorgeous and there is a lot of nice voice-acting, but it becomes a pretty wrapping on a package full of frustration. The difficulty spikes between boring and "OMG Boilers! Let's start the never-ending respawn cycle!" I could see this having appeal to a few people who can look beyond and trudge through the gameplay, but for a portable title, it should be a little more pick-up and play friendly. Expand

    Wow, how dissapointing can the PSP get? I am not expecting anything grand. A simple game, say a well done side-scroller of gameboy graphic quality would even appease me. Unfortunately, even with decent graphics and impressive sound, many PSP games are entirely not worth $40. This game, with horrid controls made for the skills of a 3rd grader, is not worth more than $12. All hype and desperate reviews, this game dissapoints. The previous two Siphon filter games are better, and even they were lacking. I get the feeling that many PSP Official Sites give such lackluster games high praise so they can keep there jobs. Example: This game. Looks horrible (even for PSP standards,) plays horrible, and is downright tepid. God, please inspire gamemakers to use the PSP in a suiting fashion...please cause them to make a worthwhile game. Expand
