I blame the awful online pass system - that's just terrible! Thanks for sticking it out and playing the actual multiplayer version of the game.
I agree with Magnation. I've already seen some very positive reviews for this game elsewhere,but would much rather see the multiplayer reviewed after playing with the actual public.
IGN gave the game a 9 and said the multiplayer was pretty great, although noticeably smaller scale than previous efforts (16 player down from 60, I believe). Makes me wonder who they played with and if they actually put it through the proper paces before posting their thoughts.
Bravo for not rushing a review for the sake of it. We here appreciate that sort of integrity. It's why so many of us stick around for so long.

I just hope you dont take to much time and forget a bit from the singleplayer by the time you review!
is singleplayer really that bad as people who played the game say?
i have no idea how joystiq could give this game a 9(i can understand how IGN could, since they're complete sellouts and 90% of the time if publisher won't pay for advertisement their game gets trashed there).
4 hour long singleplayer with lame boss battles and no difficulty(why would they make game with no regeneration when almost every single enemy drops medkits?). plus, supposedly horrible ending. i've already seen numerous reviews from gamers got the game earlier and they say it's either trash or disappointment.

i cant wait to have kids and do the old man ramble, "when i was your age, we had 60$ video games that had all modes included with the game when you bought it and you didnt need subscription fees and dlc to experience everything the game had to offer."
now its, DLC this and addons that. pretty soon you'll just be buying the right to play the game. and just like those old nintendo arcade machines, you will have to pay for gameplay 3min at a time. or a 1$ for every life. hey wanna play single player? thats an additional 10$ on top of buying the game.

Everyone I've spoken to has enjoyed the single-player campaign. Here's what I'll say -- it's short, but extremely well done... for the most part. R3 makes better use of Insomniac's inventive weapons that either of the previous titles, and it helps. The level and enemy design is far more conducive to experimentation and sheer fun than most other shooters. The game's closing few levels are a bit disappointing (despite a pretty cool interactive closing sequence), and it can be completed in about six hours. Since I don't really factor game length in when I consider an experience (sorry, a great game can be 15 a minutes long; a shit game can be 40 hours), whether you see that as a negative is up to you.
I have played a bit of the MP today and I'm definitely digging it. There's quite a bit of variety here. Review by the week's end, if not sooner.

@sofik well seeing as he said, and i quote, "Excellent but short", the i think the answer to your question is no, the SP is not as bad as your imaginary friends have said, no matter how much you want it to be bad. You have to admit that sometimes games come out that aren't on Xbox and are good. I hardly play any Xbox, but i love GOW and Forza and i can't wait for them to come out. You need to be more open minded. You'll get more out of life.

@sofik So far every review I have seen has been positive. Are they all sellouts?
Also where are you finding these "gamers who got the game earlier"
Let me guess, one of them is your brother?

@jusonator
Please! Don't talk of any more nonsense!! Didn't ya know that Sofik becomes very suicidal when a game outside the Xbox 360 is actually good?
It's very true! His "brother" even told me so.

Gameinformer, gamefaqs, vgchartz and fuckload of other forums. 2/3 of all reviews made by gamers and not sellouts like IGN call it trash and disappointment not to mention another Call of Duty wannabe being completely scripted.
$3.99 is a decent price!! I'm hoping to pick up the Move bundle for this game though I may hold off right now since NHL12 release next week.
Is Insomniac making all the DLC for Resistance 2 free like they did with the original when the sequel released?? That'd be awesome of them if they did (though would potentially cannibalize sales so I don't expect it). I bought all the map DLC for R2 but never got the chance to try it out since so few people got it as well.

I don't know, for me length does have something to with it when I'm paying $60. I guess maybe the review shouldn't be used as a tool to help you decide whether to spend $60 (since that's very subjective anyway). More as a tool to inform
gamers how a game ranks/compares to it's contemporaries and whether it's a worthwhile experience to seek out.
I guess since I don't really trade in games for me ro purchase a game at full retail it needs to a substantial experience in both quality and quantity. Maybe (for me) a hypothetical 4 hour game might not be worth $60 but at $30 it's a must buy. But I know for some experience is king and other attributes less important. Different strokes.

Before i came to this site i didn't think xbox fanboys were still around. I mean what is there to be a fanboy about? Turns out i was wrong and they dont talk about how great xbox is, they just troll.
The multiplayer is just awesome. I don't normally like online multiplayer. I appreciated uncharted 3's beta, climbing was great, killzone 3's multiplayer wasn't for me, i only play halo locally, but i really liked playing the resistance 3 beta.
I keep hearing different times for single player. This is the first i'm hearing of 4, i usually hear 8-10, some say 6.

It is regrettable that the online pass system is delaying the review. I look forward to your reactions to the multiplayer.
Now then, let us not abbreviate "you". It is only 2 more keystroke and there is no need to worry about space limitations in the comments.
If you would only take the time to proofread, we could avoid your typiscal campaingn of horrendous typing

Is there any chance you'll test how this works with Move? I don't really care about games designed for motion controls, but I do want to know about how it's being implemented as an alternative controller in core games.

You're a true gentleman, the little guy needs a guiding hand, not ridicule.
Oh, and on that note, I had copypasta for lunch and it was delicious!

Anyone else looking partially forward to Nick's review for the sake of sofik's angry diatribes? He's probably already working on the first draft of his initial post. I'm excited.
@sofik gameinformer is owned by GameStop. Who's the sellout ? And gamefaqs is owned by CBS. Big gamers there...
@Jimmyx
The average critic and gamer seems to enjoy it according to Metacritic, but I guess all the 41 critic reviews and user reviews were all just fanboys right?
On a side note, I won't be picking this up, played the first one and didn't really saw an appeal to see the rest of the franchise. Looking forward to how Overstrike plays out.
