Don't like the sound of that saving, but apart from that sounds good.

I think they should have called this Resistance: Resistance.

My analogue's a bit fucked too.

Plus - one of them is missing. The one you aim with.

Oh nice!
I've got a bunch of stuff in my play pile for the PSP at the moment. The only proper action type game I've got on it is the Warriors though, so I'm not sure how I'd get on with a shooter.

Gosh, the PSP might need to be dusted off. Wonder if the battery will still charge?

I loved the PSP Syphon Filter games, so will definitely be picking this up.

It's worth pointing out that the game interacts with Resistance 2 via USB connection to unlock Infected mode, which gives Grayson recharging health and other perks.

@WangFu - Yeah both Syphon Filter games worked surprisingly well on the machine, brought the series back into favour and proof this style of game can be done on PSP.

Still I think third person is generally ill suited to the PSP. MGS Portable Ops being case in point smacks of feature creep, feeling duty bound to fit the new Subsistance camera onto the machine, but hampered by poor controls and level design compared to the top down titles in the series.

Personally while I liked the Syphon Filter titles (give em a try, demo for the sequel is up on PSN as well) much being down to the skill of how it was implemented by Bent - single analogue third person action titles is kinda fighting against the form and ideally should be avoided at all costs by Sony and third parties when planning new PSP titles, certainly for games that need quick reflex decisions in the hands of the gamer. Anyways have yet to try the demo of this, shall download and check it out.

Looks pretty good, but I'm still playing LocoRoco 2 and I'm getting Patapon 2 soon.

Clearly people do not remember the joy of Fur Fighters for the dreamcast

A perfectly good game where you aim or moved with the d-pad, I think that FPS or third person action can work on the PSP, Daxter did. Sadly I have no interest in resistance so I not really a buyer.

Seems like a better game than Resistance 2 on PS3!

"but it does a better job of matching the online modes of "proper" consoles better than most rivals in its genre"

one better too many. ;)

Good review though, thanks! The demo really didn't feel like it did the game enough justice, and that seems to be right from this review.

was quite worried after the demo, but faith restored and all that. Also, actually forgot I owned MGS for the PSP, now that's an image problem for a console - must dig it out

This looks pretty decent and I like Resistance 2, but I don't have a PSP.

Keenly waiting for a PS3 Syphon Filter though, if they can make it as slick as Dark Mirror.

@Triggerhappytel As tempting as it is to write this with a nod and a wink, I felt first Uncharted turned out to be a kind of Syphon Filter title at times, not as tight or with as many equipment choices mind but Uncharted 2 looks has gone all out cover system third person shooter. Would be an ideal game engine to use for any PS3 version, even if the budget and production values needed to take a hit the tech and code basics must be all there so yeah I agree with you.

I have this and in my opinion it's actually better than the PS3 game. Both the story and the action play a hell of a lot better. No idea why they didn't do something like this on the PS3 instead of the mediocre FPS we ended up with.

Just out of interest, I popped over to Play.com where this is going for £17.99 for the Collectors Edition. So bit of a bargain there.

@bad09

IIRC the Retribution demo required 5.02 which also made me upgrade from 5.0-m33 something to 5.02 OME, you'll find it no problem. I guess the full game might require the same version. If not, there was a "version faker" app somewhere?

Cheers dude, I'll look into that OME, now all I need to do is remember how to dump a UMD! It's been so long since I bought a PSP game....no seriously, I can't remember!

EDIT: Actually thinking of it Mrs bad09 picked up TR: Anniversary last week so I can "brush up" on the dumps with that.

I'm playing it for few hours, and I can say that it's fantastic!!! When I finished the demo I was really disappointed, i didn't find anything interestig in it except nice graphics. The game is definitly something whole different, best shooter on PSP, and probably one of the best 2009 PSP games.
Also, controls are very good, and I didn't miss second thumb.
All in all, i was amazingly surprised with the game after playing the demo, 8/10.
