C-12: Final Resistance is a third-person shooter video game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for the PlayStation. The story is set in the future, as aliens have invaded in an attempt to harvest all of Earth's carbon resources (C-12 is a reference to 12C, the most abundant Isotopes of carbon). The player uses Lieutenant Riley Vaughan, a cybernetic human soldier, and member of the underground resistance. The player undertakes missions played out in a third-person view, killing aliens and cyborgs, collecting weapons and keys, and the like.
