This game looks awesome. I think Gears of war for the 360 has a slight edge on the "Pretty Scale". However, this game kicks its butt on ambiance.
There is so much going on. On the 360 I thought the Backgrounds were better than Last Gen but now on the PS3 I am starting to see improvements beyond that. For instance in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter you can see other parts of the city in the background. Well in Resistance, not only can I see parts of the City in the background, but I can see things happening over there as well. There are explosions, and smoke, and Flames, and Birds, and Planes... This to me is the Way cool Factor.
Then in another level, I think it was the 2nd one. There is a bunch of brush and trees. The brush, grass, and trees all sway in the wind independently, Heck I bet the Even tasked a Processor just to handle things in the wind. You stare out in front of yourself and it is just awesome watching the Background just coming alive.
The Enemy AI is Very Good. You have to use Cover, OR Flank from somewhere else other than where your company is attacking from, OR go into Zoom mode dodging bullets taking head shots. The big difference for myself would be the OR in that statement, you see in Gears of War you have to use Cover. The Game is all about Cover. OK if i am this Big Bad Dude... Then why do I have to Cower like a little girl behind cover. This is the Reason why I got to my Resistance Review before my Gears of War Review. I finished Resistance... and I am going back for a second round, before I will get back to finishing Gears for the 1st Time. Not to say that I think Gears is bad.
40 Players online. Holy $&#*. Gears only has 8 Players. Why am I paying $50 a year for XBox Live??? I thought Xbox Live was supposed to be so much better... and the best we can do is 8...
The Different modes are all pretty good.
The Weapons are a nice variety and all very cool.
Boss battles are exhilarating.
Sometimes I just like to stand around and shoot the glass or stare at the water, because it is done very well. The Glass breaks in a different way for a Rifle Butt than a shot from a gun. Every time you hit the glass it breaks away in a realistic fashion. Very Cool.
The Sound I thought was done pretty well. Even on my TV Speakers the Voices would seem to surround me. I never got Lost because I could just turn in the Direction of where the War is going on.
Vehicles are very Nice. Heck, after getting my butt kicked by the AI for a couple of hours, a vehicle that allows me to rule the roost for a couple of minutes is a nice way to go... Blow up window... Blow Up Bus... Blow up Car... Fun stuff
Oh Yeah, one more cool thing... If you kill the Chimera there Cooling Life support Tubes will pop out if you hit them from the side or the back, then they will flop around blowing out coolant for a few seconds until it runs out, Very nice touch.
