I enjoyed my first and so far only play through. While R3 is right up there with Fall of Man I’m hesitant to say it’s any better other than graphics. The weapons wheel is back along with, R&C type weapon leveling, health pick ups, and a quality story line all of which make for a better game than R2 but none of the battle scenarios quite reached the level of epic feel the first had which was a bit of a let down for me. I loved the large arenas and quantity of allies and enemies FoM started battles off with on several occasions, in comparison I found R3 lacking in this area. OTOH R3 offered a few battle twists of its own along with pacing that started off extremely brisk and never let up.
Keep in mind I’m mostly not too keen on FPS games to begin with. Insomniac got top dollar for this game from me mainly because I love the Ratchet & Clank series so much and I know they always deliver a top quality product, which Resistance3 is, although a bit on the short side.
