Resistance Retribution thoughts...

i'm playing the resistance retribution demo on the PSP, which came out today, and wow. right from the off it shows off some really impressive graphics, gives you some interesting story, and throws you right into the action.
right there, i wonder what people will think of the next bit. this game does not play like any other resistance game simply because it is on the PSP and not the PS3. if it was on the PS3, i'm sure that people would love the game, buit with the different controll scheme needed for the PSP, it's not quite as intuative as a dual stick shooter.
the main controlls use the left stick as movement and the face buttons as directions to shoot, R1 is primary fire with L1 as secondary fire. thankfully, this scheme is becoming more and more common on the psp, when people port over dual stick games. Super Stardust Portable, Riff Everyday Shooter are two new games which use the same controlls as this game.
i personally feel that this is the best compramise for this system, and fully enjoy using it with Super Stardust Portable, but with this demo...it kinda throws you in the deep end after the into with battle after battle after battle....before an epic battle at the end. for the demo's size it feels short, it clocks in at 171mb, but it also is a good taster of what is to come.
it looks like the resistance universe, right down to the music. this is going to be one of the biggest hits of the year for the PSP.
