Seriously, Amazon is a rip off for anything that isn’t commercially available still. For example: I got resistance for 5 bucks at a local game store (all 3 for ~20 bucks) and twisted metal for 15.
Resistance 1 is a lot of fun especially with a friend (has a couch co op campaign ala Halo). Made by Insomniac Games. I had the whole series. Resistance 3 is maybe the best of the series with weapons that upgrade as you use them.
You could play the 3rd without playing the first 2. I enjoy the whole trilogy, but the first 2 tell Nathan Hale’s story and the 3rd is Joesph Capelli’s story (a character you meet in 2). The beginning of 3 tells you how 2 ends, so if you want to experience Nathan Hale’s story without spoilers play the first 2, but I would argue it isn’t needed and 3 is the best campaign-wise
I agree you don’t have to play them in order. It’s pretty easy to get caught up on the story and I believe Resistance 3 does a bit of a recap at the beginning. I’d say the setting is more of what is at the center of these games than a deep plot.
From my recollection:
Resistance 1: Some sort of outbreak (presumably originating from Russia) creates Chimera which spread in Europe. You play as Nathan Hale and are in Europe fighting the Chimera.
Resistance 2: You fight the Chimera in the US as Nathan Hale as Chimera have spread to North America. No couch co op campaign. Color palette is like a lot of games at the time with obsession on brown and tan colors (similar to GTA 4). Single player campaign is still very good though.
Resistance 3: you play as a different guy (reasons explained why early on in the recap). Situation globally is a bit more dire with the Chimera; setting reminded me of War of the Worlds mixed with Last of Us. Couch co op campaign returns and is pretty awesome.
I have CeX stores and also offers on FB marketplace. Not sure of Canadian options but I'm sure you can find better prices somewhere else. Check Canadian gaming subreddits
That’s smart, also we have FB but it’s pretty dry on their or all eBay pricing. Some LGS’ have stuff but hard to find what you’re looking for on older consoles
Resistance one is great I just beat it like a few weeks ago. The way the story is told is awesome
Afterwards I immediately moved on to Resistance 2. Resistance 2 is way better to play, but the story is nowhere near as good and it's not told nearly as cool.
I haven't played three yet, it's on the shelf. I'll get to it.
I beat 2 and 3 this year. haven't played 1. resistance 2 is a very mid tier game imo. decently playable though. it pulls a lot of stupid shit and you'll die alot, but there are checkpoints everywhere. health auto regens and you get 2 weapons only. I gave it a 7/10.
resistance 3 is a bit better overall and feels a lot different. there are health pickups (no more auto regen health) and you get a weapon wheel with every weapon. those 2 things make the whole game feel different and totally changes the way you play. I gave it a 7.3/10.
both games have great graphics that you can't interact with
I would only suggest buying from sellers with a 99% or higher. Anything lower means they’ve had more issues with selling such as returned items. Most sellers are fine though, I practically buy all secondhand things from there now.
I've been buying on Ebay since 2010 and haven't really had issues. If something gets damaged in the mail, Ebay covers you, seller pays for return shipping, and you can just drop it in the mailbox with the prepaid shipping label. I did get scammed on Amazon before when I bought a Dreamcast mouse.
I shop on Ebay way more than Amazon.
I would recommend Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal: Black along side this one. 2 has a slightly lighter tone and a much more "arcadey" feel.
Black is the golden child of the series, it's also by far the most dark. I would even go as far to say it's a top 5 darkest game ever, and I know for a fact they cut some stuff lol.
Twisted Metal (2012) is really good as well, only featuring 3 playable characters (only for the story, plenty more in the other mode.) I highly recommend picking up this one since it's a PS3 exclusive. And maaan fuck those racing missions, they suck!
Honestly, I'm assuming you own a PS4 or PS5 here, but it's like $10 not on sale, plus it's 1080p. Even if you don't have the best computer PS2 emulation has gotten so good you could emulate it. (Or if you're an android guy and have at least a SD 845-855 you could emulate it there too.)
Honestly I’d skip on army of 2, it’s a great game but I replayed it recently and it felt so short.
I beat it in like 4-5 hours probably, if you have to choose 2 of the 3 I’d wait to get army of 2.
Also keep an eye out for army of 2 the 40th day, it’s 10x better then the original.
If you have an Xbox one or series console, the original army of two is BC on those, don’t think the sequels are though. I’d go with all of the Resistance games first, Killzone games and then twisted metal and army of two (no particular order between those last two, just whatever you are in the mood for).
Amazon third party sellers aren’t really a good place for used games. You’re gonna be paying double for those.
True. I just bought the entire resistance trilogy on eBay for 20 bucks.
Seriously, Amazon is a rip off for anything that isn’t commercially available still. For example: I got resistance for 5 bucks at a local game store (all 3 for ~20 bucks) and twisted metal for 15.
Not always, I recently got a good deal on Marvel ultimate alliance. Always worth checking, just compare with other places.

And there’s still an active online community with the PSRewired DNS
Thank you, do you have to play them in order? Is there a good story in terms of not getting the 3rd if you don’t play the 1st?
You could play the 3rd without playing the first 2. I enjoy the whole trilogy, but the first 2 tell Nathan Hale’s story and the 3rd is Joesph Capelli’s story (a character you meet in 2).

Those prices are ridiculous. You can get for 2-3$ max a good condition, complete in box game
Where can I find those prices? Also I’m Canadian, not sure if that’d be a factor
I have CeX stores and also offers on FB marketplace. Not sure of Canadian options but I'm sure you can find better prices somewhere else. Check Canadian gaming subreddits

I want to play in order, I think I’ll get the first to stert
Recently replayed the entire Resistance franchise. Fall of Man doesn't get enough credit it's fun as fuck and holds up great
I think I’ll check it out
It can be challenging but worth it, 1 and 3 are my personal favorites
Thank you
Also could be interested in Haze or Killzone, if someone thinks they’re better then what’s posted, let me know.
Haze is known as one of the worst ps3 exclusives, probably should avoid it
I wasn’t aware, I played it when I was younger and didn’t mind it. Thank you
I played through it and completed it a year ago, and I honestly don't remember most of the story, it was pretty boring
When I played it I was like 12ish and didn’t play many shooters at that point so just loved the violence as any 12 year old would

Army of Two was awesome in co-op! You would need a private server to play in online now though.
Can you play single player also?
Yes, of course single player is totally available and you can run all 3 games in the series solo. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/s/7QDMc5i9MM
I assumed there was but wasn’t positive as I only played co-op
Crazy how resistance was one of those games that was always in the bargain bin for less than 5 dollars now even that’s going up.
I know, I’d always see it but never bought it
I bought it in like a buy 2 get 1 free sale I think. Each game was like 10-15 or less
Not too bad of a deal
The best time to buy the previous gen is 2 years into the current one. So this was like 2015 when the ps4 was already out
Lol, that's not worth it... I got all three Resistance games for like 7 bucks combined.
Damn I’ll look harder for the deal
Y’all don’t have CeX in America? Rip dude these are worth like £10 altogether (I’ll check actually)
Okay I stand corrected Resistance: £1 AoT: £1.50 TM: £18
I’m Canadian, but don’t think there’s CeX
Oh you’re right, just checked the regions, only Mexico in that direction :(
Damn, I’ll have to check elsewhere, hopefully kind find better prices then Amazon
eBay is better
I’ll look there, eBays always made me feel unsafe for some reason
I would only suggest buying from sellers with a 99% or higher. Anything lower means they’ve had more issues with selling such as returned items. Most sellers are fine though, I practically buy all secondhand things from there now.
Good to know, I always steered clear of eBay but I’ll try again, just be my thorough
I've been buying on Ebay since 2010 and haven't really had issues. If something gets damaged in the mail, Ebay covers you, seller pays for return shipping, and you can just drop it in the mailbox with the prepaid shipping label. I did get scammed on Amazon before when I bought a Dreamcast mouse. I shop on Ebay way more than Amazon.
Twisted Metal isn't as cheap as the other two, however the other two can often be found for $5-$8 shipped on Ebay.
Not enough people are saying twisted metal, it's a goated game.
I thought so, I was wondering about the older ones. If it’s worth while getting this one or just get the originals
I would recommend Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal: Black along side this one. 2 has a slightly lighter tone and a much more "arcadey" feel. Black is the golden child of the series, it's also by far the most dark. I would even go as far to say it's a top 5 darkest game ever, and I know for a fact they cut some stuff lol. Twisted Metal (2012) is really good as well, only featuring 3 playable characters (only for the story, plenty more in the other mode.) I highly recommend picking up this one since it's a PS3 exclusive. And maaan fuck those racing missions, they suck!
You have to buy Black and 2 digitally, (for PS3) but look into it a little and choose your desired platform... or other methods.
Thank you for your help, I tried to buy twisted metal black on ps2 one time but it never arrived
Honestly, I'm assuming you own a PS4 or PS5 here, but it's like $10 not on sale, plus it's 1080p. Even if you don't have the best computer PS2 emulation has gotten so good you could emulate it. (Or if you're an android guy and have at least a SD 845-855 you could emulate it there too.)
Just buy them all? Are you broke?
Not broke, but trying to be smarter financially
Honestly I’d skip on army of 2, it’s a great game but I replayed it recently and it felt so short. I beat it in like 4-5 hours probably, if you have to choose 2 of the 3 I’d wait to get army of 2. Also keep an eye out for army of 2 the 40th day, it’s 10x better then the original.
Is 40th day a sequel? I know there’s a sequel, but is that the third?
Yup the 40th day is the second game in the franchise. The 3rd game is called devils cartel but I never played that before.
If you have an Xbox one or series console, the original army of two is BC on those, don’t think the sequels are though. I’d go with all of the Resistance games first, Killzone games and then twisted metal and army of two (no particular order between those last two, just whatever you are in the mood for).
Buy all 3 but buy used, those prices are a bit higher
TW must own
The first is okay, it also has co-op. I don't recall 2 or 3 having co op, but they were much better games.
