On a PSP - Outrageous!
For a PSP game this is brilliant. It rivals God of War: Chains of Olympus for graphics and gameplay.

Being a huge fan of FPSs on consoles, I've long awaited a good shooter on the PSP. Having tried a number before, i'd almost given up on finding one that really impressed me. Some have come close, but have been let down by poor controls, poor graphics, or poor storyline. Socom came close, that was good, but the graphics let it down.

This however, blows Socom away. they've put some real effort into making this an excellent game that plays well, with impressive visual effects both in game and in cut scenes, while keeping the spirit of the excellent 'Resistance' IP alive. If you are fans of the Resistance storyline, and you are thinking about a PSP shooter, this is definitely the game for you. The lead character is entertaining and interesting as a bit of a dark character, with plenty of drama and history to him.

The game play system works really well, its a lot more automated than other PSP shooters i've played, auto-locking on to baddies makes it much easier to play with only one analogue nub. It can sometimes be frustrating, when it won't let you lock onto what you want it to, but it works very well, especially with the cover system.

Game is a good length, there is level after level, leaving you a little surprised at times at how much information they have squeezed onto a single UMD, especially at the quality. environments are varied as you fight across Europe.

Then to keep you going further, there's the link up with a PS3 with Resistance 2, allowing you to open new options and a new approach to missions, allowing you to get to places you couldn't in the normal game. I haven't tried using the Dual Shock PS3 controller with the game, but sounds promising.

All in all, one of the best PSP games on the market. A true revival in PSP is coming with some excellent games, but this one marks the start in this rebirth of a very powerful and capable little handheld console.

Resistance does it again!!!!!
This is a brilliant shooter for the PSP the levels are very engaging but not to hard for you not to want to play (I'm having trouble putting it down) The controls are a bit wierd at first but soon become second nature and you will be fragging Hybrids in no time. The ability to go back and replay levels to increase your skillset is a great idea as you get all the weapons you've found further on inthe game to go back with you (avoids the give all cheat code need). The story line is good especially as I haven't played the full console versions (sorry only got Xbox 360's in our house) and it allows you to get immersed in the game in no time. I can't recomend it enough, if you only get one Shooter for your PSP make sure its this one. On your feet trooper, we got Hybrids to FRAG!!!!!Resistance: Retribution (PSP)

Resistance: Demo review
This is a quick review of the limited demo version i got :)

I must say first am NOT a fan of the ps3 version (haven't played 2) But i decided to take a look at this version and WOOW its really something.

The action is heavy but insanely fun if you have played Syphon filter (psp) then you already know the controls its like a cross between the two games and the new camera works very well. It could be the first decent psp game in years!

Graphics: 8 very good for psp with some very nice lighting effects and no slowdown

Gameplay: run, shoot, DUCK! its very fast paced action

Controls: They work beautifully and seem to be a clone of Dark Mirror

everything else: good weapons a solid auto aim (turn off-able) and a whole army of bad guys (and that's just the demo!)

its shaping up to be something long overdue on psp a good game!!
