Great review. Looks like Resistance 3 is the game the Duke Nukem Forever should have been, at least in mechanics department is more Duke Nukem than DNF.
Zero Punctuation: Resistance 3

See the orange box review. He can't because then he would have to jab forks into his eyes.WanderingFool said:
OT: Insomniac just did what they did with their ratchet and clank games, so no ripping off. Yatzee should probably have a look at them.
I thought it was pretty obvious he was exaggarating on purpose. Guess not.hermes200 said:
OT: This one was brilliant, simply brilliant.
If this wasn't a PS3 exclusive, or alternatively if I owned a PS3, I'd purchase this game based solely on this review.
The Escapist needs to add forum signatures so I can sig the hell out of that comment.Soviet Heavy said:

Very nice review; you can almost see Yahtzee's thought processes as he was playing the game.
"Oh hoo-bloody-ray, another mediocre retooling of Halo covered in dirt...half a tick, are they actually requiring me to use health kits? Huh, well that's a bit unexpected. Oh great, a brand new gun to use, so which one am I going to drop to make room for...I can carry THAT one too? Huh...this is actually looking up! Sure the story's pretty flimsy but at least it's fun to -play-, going around this abandoned town, shooting zombies and...is that a crazy priest? This is starting to remind me of something...come to think of it, aliens, giant hole in space, possessed humans...oh bloody hell, it's a Half-Life 2 rip off!"
Gotta agree with Yahtzee, it's not a bad idea to emulate those who have been successful, but there's a point beyond which it stops being following an example and begins to be just shamelessly copying something to the letter.

Actually they didn't rip off HL2, Insomniac Games have been doing this kind of gameplay since the first Ratchet and Clank game.
Being a big fan of the first two Resistance games I'm actually quite surprised he gave this one a good "review". I was going to buy it anyway, but it's nice to know he enjoyed it.
Resistance 2 wasn't brown either, the only one that was brown was the very first one.

Uhhh, Resistance 3 isn't a "brown game", from my experience playing the beta the multiplayer maps in particular are very colourful. And the game also has a slighty "cartoony" look added to it to make it stand out more.Delicious Anathema said:

Loved the end credits:
I counter your Jimi Hendrix with... MAGGIE THATCHER!!
Yahtzee counters her with... *insert viewer's face*
Priceless!

Wow a good review. I'm shocked. Just to let you know, none of the previous Resistances had 2 gun limits or completely regenerating health either. And the guns have always been creative. I think they steal it from the games they've always made 
Well, the first game didn't have totally regenerating health. It was like... four quarters of a health bar, and you'd regenerate up to one quarter, and it had a weapon wheel. The second one sank a lot down into the two-weapons and regenerating health part, but a lot of the fanbase didn't like it, so I'm pretty sure this is just a bounce-back from the second game rather than a ripoff of any other. (Yes, I am a fanboy...) That said... I laughed my head off at beard thing.
I definitely had a Ravenholm feel from the one village part, especially considering the leapers remind me of headcrabs. I was playing co-op at the time and I told my brother "Where's a crowbar when you need one?"
