Resistance is a strange series, as just about every game is entirely different than the previous, thus getting mixed results from fans but surprisingly good reviews from major publications. I was a little hesitant on this installment with the lack of Nathan Hale (the main protagonist form the other two games) being replaced by a side character from the second game, but I will be the first to say the switch is definitely a good thing.
