    These shortcomings aside, Resistance: Retribution is a competently implemented third-person shooter that brings short, sharp bouts of sci-fi action to the PSP. A fair to average release, but it could have delivered a lot more; let’s hope Sony Bend fares better when they bring Syphon Filter to the PS3. Read more

    • Handy auto-aim, Straightforward levels and controls, Stupid enemies, Varied weaponry
    • Crumby dialogue, unskippable cut-scenes, Awkward save system, Requires Resistance 2 to unlock full game, Overall lack of polish

    Allowing the action to shine is what Resistance: Retribution does best. The slick controls perform admirably with only a few minor stumbles, letting you flex your impressive arsenal as you battle through hordes of fiendish enemies. The scope of your journey is a bit narrow, and Grayson may very well offend gamers with ties to France (or England, for that matter), but the excitement and intensity packed into Resistance: Retribution are undeniable.

    • Intense, fast-paced action, Clever, well-balanced shooting mechanics, Impressive environments and rich visuals, Challenging enemies, Solid suite of online multiplayer ...
    • Cover can be too sticky, Directional pad actions are a bit awkward, Some spotty voice acting.

    On its own I don’t rate Retribution much, it’s a solid shooter but the PSP controls are just too awkward to enjoy. Unless you’ve invested the money into a PS3, Resistance 2 and a PSP component video cable you will find this game awkward to play on the PSP. With the lack of titles this game is sure to please PSP owners in a drought. I say if you have other consoles, go play shooters on them. Read more

    • Works well if you invest a further $750 on a PS3, Resistance 2 and a video cable. High quality visuals for a PSP title.
    • Controls are old fashioned and limited by the hardware. Voice acting could be improved. Run, duck, goose, shoot, lather, rinse and repeat.

    The PSP has a reputation these days of receiving sequels, prequels and mid-quels to just about every successful PlayStation brand-related franchise. Read more
