I wish people would lay off the comparisons to Gears as they are completely different types of games with a different focus on what each wanted to achieve. I'm looking forward to playing them both. :) deftangel- Oh I completely agree.

I just don't see what relevance it has to a review of the game. For a start Resistance outputs at 720p, not 1080p and Gears isn't really an FPS. Hence there isn't really much of a case for the comparison in the first place. Then the last sentence has a dig at Gears for being short. I don't even disagree with that, it just sounds tacked on to me. There is no need for it there, just review the game and let it stand on it's own two feet. It's perfectly capable of doing so.

As for the map and stats in multiplayer, now that you mention it, I'm going to have to look further into it, but I haven't noticed it so I really doubt this is true (read: I played 10 hours straight yesterday -bad!!-, and I didn't notice it). I'll let you know. So I was hoping for more of the s.axis functionality implementation in the game, but they kinda stuck with the basics. Cheers.

I don't think that's necessarily a cutdown on Gears of War. Gears of War was meant to be like summer blockbuster action movies like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. What it does, it does very well and the reviewer paid it a compliment for ripping "up the first-person shooter blueprint." I think he's just saying it's a longer game and it's a better story. Haven't played either yet, but I'm playing through the co-op campaign of Gears of War this weekend with my buddy, and will be getting a PS3 and Resistance as soon as I can actually find one. “and it’s much longer and meatier than the latter.”
