*************************************************************PROS***************************************************************************
-Gameplay: This has a very unique FPS gameplay. Very different than popular COD like FPS games. Different but great. Especially weapons.
-Weapons: Resistance weapons are the best aspect of Resistance FPS gameplay. Every weapon have a primary and secondary fire mode. These mode will include classic things like machinegun, shotguns to very cool and highly unique alien weaponry like tagged shots, auger shots (shoot through walls) and more.
-Story and timeline: This game takes place in an alternate timeline when chimera are invading the world in late 1900s. The environment it creates is very believable and story is pretty interesting with some degree of twist to it.
-Enemies and bosses: Filled with variety of enemies and also some very interesting bosses. Love the games with great boss fights.
*************************************************************CONS.***************************************************************************
-Handheld only: I would like to play this game on regular console. Considering how underrated this game is, it will also be good for this game if they were to release it on PS3 (and may be other consoles).
*************************************************************CONCLUSIONS***************************************************************
The whole resistance series is by far one of most underrated FPS games. I really wish Sony does more to promote these games in the future.
I'm sure as more people start playing and they start rolling out DLC for the game it will only get better, I can see the developer adding more modes, maps and weapons. It has a lot of potential to be a great multi-player shooter with the right attention from developers. The only advice I can give you is don't let all the negative reviews sway you from buying this and don't go into it thinking this will be a PS3 title epic game....like any new system it needs time to develop and for the publisher to push out DLC.
Lastly, the graphics were amazing for a handheld title! Very detailed!
Overall, I like the Resistance series. I enjoyed this game for the short amount of time it lasted. But, it has no long term impact. If you are looking for a killer online multi player for the Vita, stick with Killzone Mercenary. Resistance Burning Skies is a great game to kill some time, get through completely and move on.
