C-12: Final Resistance is a Syphon Filter clone from Sony that, presumably, is being positioned as one of the last new and worthwhile titles for the aging PlayStation. With the PSOne losing relevance by the day, only a true triple-A game could make forward-thinking gamers dust off their old system, and unfortunately, C-12 isn't quite at that level of quality. It's a strictly average action game that may interest the few players who haven't graduated to a newer system, but serious gamers will pass it over for something a little more modern.

As Riley Vaughan, you're up against an invading alien menace in C-12: Final Resistance.

C-12 takes place in a postapocalyptic future in which marauding aliens have invaded and overrun the planet. The aliens have added insult to injury by not only taking over everything in sight but also claiming our fallen soldiers as their own, perverting them through cybernetic modification into walking death machines. Your character, Riley Vaughan, has accepted a cybernetic implant of his own and will attempt to battle the aliens single-handedly as a last-ditch attempt at regaining freedom for humanity.

Gamers familiar with the Syphon Filter series will adapt to the gameplay in C-12 right off the bat, because it's nearly the same game. You control Vaughan from a third-person perspective through a variety of missions that take place in a shattered cityscape. Radio contact from your superiors will keep you up to date and provide you with new directions and mission objectives. You have access to the standard array of mission aides, including an area map, communication log, and list of objectives. Mission goals include such notables as liberating captured allies, hunting for keycards, and pressing switches--pretty standard action game fare, for the most part.
