The third chapter of this popular first person sci-fi action shooter series now also incorporates the Move control.

Set four years after Resistance 2, the new lead Joseph Capelli (who was dishonorably discharged for killing Nathan Hale) is hiding out with his wife and kid in Oklahoma, with one of the few surviving human resistance cells.
The invading Chimera aliens have overrun the planet, but Dr. Malikov (the accidental creator of the hybrids) has a possible solution and Capelli has to travel to New York to help execute it.

At your disposal you have a range of weapons, like the Bulls-eye (with tracking capability), your Magnum (with explosive detonation), and energy-draining grenades.

When it comes to shooting (as with driving games), the realism of the PS controls are never accurate enough, so with the incorporation of the Move control you have some more shooting accuracy as you take aim at the screen for real (in stead of trying to move your target cursor with a joystick) – even better if you get yourself a Move Battle Rifle to slot your Move control into.

On top of this, Resistance 3 can be played in regular mode, or in 3D (if you have the correct screen set-up). The reach goes further with on-line 16-player battles and 2-player co-op missions. Due to the mature subject matter 18 restriction.

(One pain was a software update download of close on 700MB which took a while and also failed a few times)
