What possible reason could anyone have to form some sort of Douchebag Alliance in order to dole out bad reviews for games they (I'm certain) haven't played? It's like seeing someone with ice cream across the street on a hot day and instead of thinking "I could use some of that," they spray paint "everything in here sucks!" all over the Ben and Jerry's storefront so others don't want ice cream.
Resistance 3
This game is quite good. In fact, it's the most fun I've had with an FPS campaign this generation. That's not t say it's perfect, as the lore of the Resistance universe is nowhere to be seen, Insomniac having overblown Resistance 2's story and leaving nothing for the eventual finale. Heck, the PSP game Resistance: Retribution had infinite amounts more storytelling along with having an incredible action game as its backbone. The story of loss and survival on a ravaged Earth, though, is still good and tugs at the heartstrings just the right amount (great voice acting helping it along).
That being said, the reason why that campaign is so good is the weapons. Holy Lord, those weapons. 90% of all FPSs have the same crap, with the occasional twist to make it "unique." Insomniac says screw that, and has come up with weapons that may be easy to describe at first, but that become crazier over time. Even the shotgun is fun to use, and I hate shotguns in video games (they never have the range of real ones while also being not much fun if you're not into loud noises and gibs). I look forward to what Nihilistic Software does with Resistance: Burning Skies, but I doubt any FPS will bring me so much sheer joy as Resistance 3 for a good long time (not counting multiplayer, 'cuz Battlefield 3 will be hot).
