The Resistance series so far has been a darn good reason to own a PS3.

Now Sony's exclusive shooter franchise throws in more thrills and spills than ever before in this third outing, set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, four years after the events of the second game.

America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding, and you must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military programme, in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless opposition.

Epic is not too gushing an adjective for the incredible single player campaign, with tighter controls, a beefier weapons arsenal and more emotional story than those that have gone before.

Big boss battles, plot twists and perfect storyline pacing will satisfy even the most apathetic shooter fan, and that's before you've checked out the slick 16-player multiplayer mode. Resistance rules.

5/5
