I LOVED Resistance 3, it made me fall in love with the series, even though I was thoroughly underwhelmed by Resistance 1. Resistance 1 was rushed to be available for the launch of the PS3.

Resistance 3 is one of the best shooters I have played. The weapons hands down the best and most interesting I have ever seen in a shooter. There are no 'weak' guns. Each gun really feels like its worth carrying. Even the ubiquitous sludge weapong you see in many games, in Resistance 3 they make it very fun.

I also really loved the story in Resistance 3. I found Joe Capelli WAY more interesting and identifiable than Hale. You can feel the resentment that the people you come across in the game feel toward him. "Your the guy who killed Nathan Hale, Eh?". That got me every time.

Mostly the overarching darkness of the Story. The war is over, Humanity has lost, there are some survivors able to live far away from the Chimeara but not for long. A hopeless mission with basically no chance of sucess, but he goes anyway to give his son one last possible chance for a good life, even though its likely his end.

I wont spoil the ending for you, but if you see Resistance 3 in the bargain bin, do yourself a HUGE favor and grab it.
