C-12: Final Resistance

About

This 2001 PlayStation shooter casts you as Lt. Riley Vaghan, a Resistance fighter battling aliens and cyborgs in a ruined futuristic city. The game alternates between third-person views of your character and first-person shooting perspectives, though movement is locked when using the latter. Each mission follows a straightforward path, emphasizing combat and stealth as you fight to stop alien forces from turning humans into cyborgs. The camera switch adds a minor tactical layer, letting you aim precisely while relying on preset movement. While linear and dated by modern standards, the mix of close-quarters shooting and occasional stealth sections kept some players engaged. Its Alien Imaging Unit mechanic for scanning enemies remains a niche highlight from early 2000s shooters.

Storyline

The population is threatened with near extinction as hostile alien forces ravage the planet, converting human survivors into cyborg warriors. Working against all odds and armed with an Alien Imaging Unit that has replaced his left eye, Resistance fighter Lt. Riley Vaghan must use firepower, stealth, intelligence and sheer determination to save humankind from impeding doom.
