It sounds good, but then again so did Resistance 2. Resistance 2 got a 9.5 from IGN so keep that in mind I guess.

I'm pretty sure IGN are always first to get their reviews out because they get their copies first because they're the biggest video game journalism corporation because they kiss ass and sugarcoat the fucked up games and lie about them because they get paid for it.

Whew, that was a long sentence. Anyway, kids, don't trust that shitty website.

Gametrailers, Joystiq and Eurogamer have reviews as well so far and all 3 are actually quite positive

Fight the system, mahn. C'mon, don't be a dick about a website just because they are big and have clicktraps.

It's sounding like it's a pretty enjoyable single-player campaign, I think I'll be checking it out when the wallet permits, a bunch of other games take priority at the moment, though.

This.

Ehh, I might rent it when I'm extremely bored like I did with the second game, except that game just made me even more bored.

An intense shooter experience that proves hard to resist.

Just watch me, motherfucker.

I think I'm in the minority but I actually really enjoyed Resistance 2. I'm pretty indifferent to the review, but some of the gameplay in the video review looks cool. I'll definately check this out sometime.

Yes, but most people gave Resistance 2 high scores because of its multiplayer, this game seems to have a good campaign, and I'm all for that. Now I'm excited, like I probably should have been. I liked Resistance: Fall of Man and its sequel, but they had little replay value for me so it came off as highly awkward. 

If the plot didn't suck so much Resistance 2 would have been amazing. 
The guns and enemies (except for chameleons) were far more interesting and fun than the average first person shooter.

Oooooh this game seems good, thought they were going to crap it out like Resistance 2

I thought Resistance 2 was pretty crappy, I got bored fast with the campaign and the plot leaves so much to be desired.
 
On the bright side the co-op was pretty cool.

I'm probably gonna grab this today while I'm out and about. Hell, why not?

That video review actually makes it look pretty damn compelling.

Spat out my cola reading this. GG

The review is awesome, this game sounds fantastic... But wait, so did the first one and the second one and I found them extremely boring. :/

I have played it for a few days now and it's quite fun. I have only played the campaign though. I miss some really awesome set pieces that can blow me away but the core mechanics of the game are actually fun enough to make the shooting part really fun and varied. The weapons are diverse and there is actual tactical advantage using different weapons on different enemies and during different situations. I allways tend to remember the set pieces or scripted events in these kind of games but with Resistance 3 the funfactor actually lies in the combat. It's also wierd to have a classic energy meter and not a meter that refills itself like all other games out there, instead you have to scavage after energy pick ups. That gives Resistance 3 some kind of old school edge to it.

I short. I have been enjoying it BUT I do not have super much experience with the series so all this I'm saying could be normal Resistance stuff. But as I said, the combat is quite frantic, fast paced and fun.

EDIT: I have now seen Gametrailers review and I think I agree with their take on things. They have clearly improved the campaign.

Not sure. I didn't finish the first two games because they were so damn boring. So I damn sure ain't taking a risk and spending 60 on this one.

These threads are dumb . They tend to just boil down to people bashing  Ign.

...Resistance 3 exchanges the genre's all-too-familiar bravado for a pervasive and relentless air of desperation. It's a subtle substitution, but it's single-handedly responsible for making Resistance 3 one of the most compelling shooters I've ever played.
 
....resulting in a campaign that feels like a disjointed sequence of scenes from a dozen different action movies. Fortunately, each episode packs a satisfying wallop -- a near-miracle, considering the sheer diversity of the settings Insomniac has constructed.

I kind of choked when I was swallowing some water. Thank you very much.

The TV ad for this is one of the worst I have seen, and I'm including tampon ads while you're trying to eat in that.

I do not feel anything for R1 or R2 and nothing about R3 has made me even think about it.. but KZ3 was effin amazing, and I love it, even the multi!

And I'm a PC gamer spoilt by our quality FPS heritage, mouse and keyboard, better performance and A/V quality! What gives :<

Bashing IGN isn't dumb. It's easy and lazy but it isn't dumb.

Glad to see all of the warm reception it's getting. Though to be fair, Resistance 2 was also highly received on a lot of fronts and plenty of people (not including me) still disregarded it entirely. The decline with its multiplayer focus is a shame--especially towards the cooperative side--but a stronger single player, with its welcome embrace towards the more old-school shooters, should leave me satisfied with my preorder.

I wouldn't really trust this review by IGN, personally. I feel as if most of the editors there are fanboy-ish, especially people like Greg Miller and Audrey Drake. It seems like they will give any exclusive game a high score just because the game is exclusive. I'm not saying that this is 100% accurate, but that's just the feeling I get from reading their reviews.

You're a naive moron.

I fucking hate these threads .

Reviewers have always been strangely kind to the Resistance series. The original got decent scores, and Resistance 2 was fairly acclaimed. I enjoyed both, but never to the extent that the reviews suggested, and I'm not sure why.

@CptBedlam: You're right they totally do get paid, thats why IGN gave Brink a 6/10 while every page was covered with ads for it.

Yep all that money is why they all live in huge apartments, drive expensive cars and wear all the best clothes.
