Summary

Despite some notable flaws, Resistance: Burning Skies is still a solid effort and a great start to twin-stick shooting action on PS Vita.

We like

  • Great use of PS Vita's touchscreen
  • Awesome weapons line-up, affording plenty of diversity in combat
  • Twin-stick action translates seamlessly to PS Vita

We dislike

  • Some poor environments
  • Visuals are hit and miss
  • Short campaign and average story
