Resistance Burning Skies

I just got the latest game, "Resistance Burning Skies". The game is considered one of the greatest for a Vita game. In my opinion it is more of a average game. Not good, not bad.

The campaign is decent. There is an interesting storyline involving the beginning of the invasion of the Chimera in the USA. However I must say the game is pretty short. At average, the game only takes at most 2.5 hours to complete the game. There are some extra stuff you can do to buy more time. You can, as always, find intel. There are pieces of intel that are scattered all over the game. Oddly, it is not necessary to get a trophy like in previous games. You can also search for Grey Tech. These are small cubes that can give you upgrades for your weapons. The game's difficulty is another factor for controversy. The game is easy. Even on the hardest difficulty, the game is still manageable, compared to the console versions. I think the reason for this, will have to be that it is still hard to control the character and use the Vita.

The trophies in the game are not a lot. In total there are only 25. And for the most part they are all easy. Mostly involving defeating bosses, completing levels, and racking up kills. I was surprised to see that neither the intel or Superhuman mode was not needed to get a trophy, or even to upgrade all weapons to the max.

Multiplayer is the next thing you will find in the game. I have to say, it needs work. There is no way to just have a game with you and your friend. The connectivity is a main problem. Half the time I get disconnected. Even if I am right next to the modem, I still get disconnected. The game modes are not a lot. There is only, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, and Survival. Sad that there was no objective based games like Capture the Flag or Meltdown. The gameplay itself is the same as the campaign. I have noticed a few weapons that really need balancing. The shotgun is murder. Also for once, I have experience a bug in the game. Apparently there is a spawning bug, where you are somewhere else in the map and players are just killing you to gain points.

The game itself is average and average at best. I would say this game would be great to buy when the price drops to 20 or 30 dollars. If you are a huge Resistance fan, then buy this game, but maybe when there are more updates.
