Simply a brilliant FPS. Reminds me alot of the call of duty series and the area-51 FPS from 2004. Has all of the elements of a good first person shooter and none of the bad ones. Visuals are STUNNING. If you were able to remove the weapon from the screen, you’d probably have people thinking you were watching a movie if they walked by your set. Controls are the smoothest I’ve ever seen on a console FPS. Sound is awesome (there could be a bit more music however). A.I. is at it’s best. They will run from you, run after you when you try to reload or recharge your health, duck, dodge, annoy you and make you work for a kill. Brilliant! I’ve beaten the game four times and I’m still eager for more. Overall, an instant classic and by far the best launch title for the PS3. It’s one of those games I could see myself still playing a year or two down the road.

Pros: Appealing storyline, highly addictive, great graphics, gives you the feeling of a serious fps, gives you thrills

Cons: Some weapons look like toys, gets frustrating sometimes, distance between checkpoints (saves) can be pretty long.

This was my first PS3 games and I loved it!

To begin with, I have to point out how dated this game is. But even a few years old, four to be exact, it still passes the test of time. You’re probably asking yourself, what makes this game so great?

It’s certainly not the graphics, not at this point. They’re perhaps respectable but certainly not impressive anymore. It’s basically everything besides the graphics, specifically the gameplay, storyline, strategy and flow.

Why is the gameplay so great? Everything seems natural and has ideal flow. The controls feel intuitive, the weapons are explained quickly and their use is easy. The health system is far more fun than the Call of Duty system where you never die and never need health packs. The game isn’t particularly difficult if you’re good at shooters, but you’ll still die a few times, no matter what. The atmosphere of every level carries a creepy note and some can be downright frightening. It will literally fill you with a sense of dread. The enemies look great, scary but not too far-fetched. Their AI is about right. They’ll sometimes fall back but other times, reckless attack is their method.

The variety of gameplay is also great. There are massive, open field battles in addition to the normal one-man hero style shooter mission. You can also drive/pilot several very original vehicles in the process. Being at the helm of a stalker is a true experience. The weapons are really innovative, specifically the Auger and Hailstorm. The sniper rifle is also well done. I also enjoyed using the shotgun, a classic even against futuristic alien-hybrids. But I do have a complaint here. The Auger can be very annoying when used against you because it can penetrate several walls and seemingly bounce into you randomly.

What about the story? It’s nothing new to the science fiction arena. Humans get infected with a virus, though during WWII in this case, and become alien-like creatures. The explanations given throughout the course of the story explain everything, including how it happened, how/why there are different types etc. However, the very best thing about the story is the narration. It’s given by a female character you meet early on, and will really get you involved in the game. It made me care in a way few games ever do.

Despite being a FPS, there is a bit of strategy in this game. Because health isn’t usually hard to come by, there are often other practical considerations, specifically ammo. If you waste ammo, especially of the more powerful type, against weaker opponents, it will come back to bite you later on. You’re also often better off killing enemies in a certain sequence a certain way that is counter-intuitive, e.g. going the harder route and being forced to kill more enemies but gaining more ammo in the process.

Last but not least, the game has superb flow. The way missions are interchanged is excellent. Some are non-stop shooting while others will require you to do a bit of searching before you can move on. You’ll also rarely face super-powerful opponents who magically kill you with one hit. Instead, you’ll face a myriad of weaker, but still strongly freakish enemies. Something I really liked about this game was how the missions seemed to get gradually more difficult until the very end. There are only a few missions that will be super challenging. They’re very late in the game and this is by design.

One legitimate gripe is that the multi-player and co-op modes in this game are very run of the mill. They’re nothing impressive. The manufacturer really tried to spice this up in the sequel but ended up ignoring the single-player campaigns in the process.

Overall, this game is one of the best ever in terms of the single-player campaign. I’ve beaten it once and will play it again, after I’m done with Resistance 2. For around $25, this is a PS3 must have.

fun first person shooter game. pretty good plot to go along with the smooth gameplay

When I bought my PS3 back in 2006, this was the first game I had played since selling my 1st generation Playstation nearly 15 years ago, to focus on my studies. Boy was it addictive then and still holds my interest 3 years later. Many a weekend night was spent in front of the TV that first month I played it. More than any other game I’ve played or even heard of, I’d love to see Hollywood turn this game into a movie. The WWII setting, provided the perfect ambience for the storyline and the graphics look great even on a 100 inch screen. I’ve played through the storymode 7 times now, I’ve achieved the highest rank in online play, and I wouldn’t change a thing, other than make a better sequel than Resistance 2 delivered.

This will be a short but to-the-point review.

I am an avid gamer, been playing video games for awhile now and I have to say that I’m really enjoying this game (more than halfway through it).

First the visuals are spectacular, you can move or break most objects, there are at times MANY enemies and friendlies on screen and it has never bogged down.

The gameplay is fantastic, the controls are tight but accurate. I loved the way you could aim by pressing L3, it makes for very precise shots.

Weapons are epic, ranging from standard US military to advanced chimeran weapons, you will be eager to advance in campaign mode just so you could find out what weapon they’ll think of next!!!

Sound is great too, I can hear various bullets whirring around me in my home theater system. So for you audiophiles this game makes the cut!

Overall I would highly recommend this shooter to anyone looking for a fast-paced action game with a solid story. Thanks insomniac, for bringing us this excellent game!

A definite challenge, both single player and online. I am just becoming a FPS fan…this game is a huge challenge for me…

Happy Holidays,

this game is very fun and has a great story

and the best weapons ever.

the online goes to 40 player.

a very similar game called gears of war goes to 8 players.

and when you finish campaign and start over there is the 3 addtional guns i have seen so far.

the difficulty is varable. hard mode there are more bad guys from more angles. and is also more realistic

co op with a 2 different people is great way to have fun

Rating

i have to say this game looks great, and it is fun. the only downside is that the controls were a little confusing at first. not uncommon with new games, but it took a little longer than i expected it to. the graphics are simply amazing. i say they are at least as good as the 360 graphics if not better. and this a early ps3 game my friends. this shows that the games will just be getting better and better.

People constantly criticize this game because of the “ps2″ graphics. I’d like for one person to show me a ps2 game that can look and sound this good, while having this much action onscreen without any slowdown whatsoever. Insomniac is a brilliant development team, and their hard work shines through once again w/ Resistance.

This is not a “run and gun” type of shooter, and if you try to play without using cover or using strategy then you’ll die A LOT. Here are reasons why you should buy or at least rent Resistance:

- The gameplay is intense, but also strategic and encourages use of cover

- The AI is fairly smart when it comes to using cover and taking accurate shots

- The level design is creative and well thought out

- The guns are insane and very powerful

- The sound is superb

- The graphics, while not photorealistic like COD4, are very impressive and fit this “fantasy” world perfectly

- The environments feel alive – the grass and trees sway, debris blows around in the wind, etc

- The physics are decent and many objects in the environment are destructible

- The single player campaign is long and challenging, and very addictive

- The multiplayer is fun and addictive, plus the maps are huge

This is one of those games that I will sit and play for hours without even realizing it. Please ignore the people who are bashing this game…they either haven’t played it or simply judge games based on graphics alone. This game is fun, unique, and still very impressive almost 2 years after it was released. Highly recommended!! Plus it’s only $30 brand-new!!

Rating

this game is gorgeous. very fun and good story. the online play is where it really shines though, up to 40 people in a deathmatch, thats chaotic fun at its best. this is a must own ps3 title.

Rating

An excellent game to play over and over. The game pulls you in and before you know it you are killing bad guys left and right. The number of weapons to chose from allows you to chose many ways to decimate your enemies and for them to kill you. Each chapter is a thrill ride with all kinds of enemies.

This is a must have for any PS3 owner.

Rating

This game is extremely fun, The online play has no lag, and the graphics quality is great. It requires little harddrive space. There are several multiplay maps. The single player mode takes a while to beat on medium levels and above, however the easy mode feels like a time trial where you can beat the game in less than acouple hours. I would only purchase this game used sence its been out for more than a year and can be bought so some places for 30 dollars that half price what it is new.

Rating

Since I could’nt get a ps3 this year, I went over to my friend’s house because he was one of the lucky ones who actually got his hands on it. So far he has Call of Duty 3, Madden 07, Fight Night Round 3, and Resistance Fall of Man. Resistance is by far the best game out of the entire bunch. Great graphics, excellent sound, and a multiplayer mode that will keep you playing till a sequel comes out. Best game so far for the ps3.

Rating

Good game. After seeing how awesome resistance 2′s commercial was, I decided to get the first game and beat that before getting the 2nd. I’m glad I did..and at 19.00 from Amazon..how could I go wrong?

The game reminded me a lot of Halo meets the Borg. It did have a good storyline that keeps you quite entertained. If you have never played the resistance games…get it. Lots and lots of alien carcasses accumulate in this one.

Rating

Though I play them often enough, I have never been a huge fan of the first person shooter genre. This game changed my mind. Extremely easy to pick up and play with extremely fast action and great pacing.

The graphics are not all that impressive for ps3 next gen standards, but the game runs extremely smoothly with almost no hitches.

For me the best feature of this game is co-op mode by far. Growing up playing games, there were always those incredibly fun games you could play with your friends like contra 3, etc. Recently it seems like there just aren’t that many games you can actually sit down with friends in your house and play. Everything is just online. I understand that gaming is trending towards social interactions online, but it shouldn’t prevent people from actually getting together and throwing on a game for a little while. My wife and I played through Resistance and it was probably the most fun I’ve had in an action game in a long time. It also great that the levels are just the right length, which makes you want to just play that one last level before stopping. I really liked the vertical split screen, which works great for widescreen sets.

I actually feel that Resistance 2 took out some of that fun factor by removing offline coop for the campaign mode, among other things.

Since everyone has already played through this, you can find it for very cheap. If you haven’t already played it, definitely buy this game. You will enjoy it.

ITS A GREAT GAME!!! ONE OF THE THING ITS A YOU CAN PLAY IN COOPERATIVE GAME WITH A FRIND AND FINISH THE GAME… THE OTHER THING IS THE PLAY ONLINE.. SUPER FASTER.. AND GREEAT I LOVED

Rating

This is the first game that I bought for my PS3. The first part was pretty hard for me, and it seemed like there wasn’t much to the game. As I got further along, I started having much more fun. Like when you get to drive the tank and blow the suckers up. This is a fun game to play.

As far as online play. I really suck, so far. I wish you could actually play the game in co-op mode online. They have a few types of online play. Death Match where everyone tries to kill each other. That’s mainly the one I’ve played online, so far. There is team death match. They also have capture the flag. Where you have teams. There are a couple of other variations besides the ones I mentioned. There is a co-op mode on the game but it’s not for online play.

It’s a pretty cool game. I think it’s fairly difficult, not super hard. You could change the game to “easy” mode. I’d rather not.

4/5

This is the flagship game for PS3, it shows off the power of the PS3 while maintaining a high FPS. I played it through on coop, played through it single player, and played it online, its fun no matter which path you choose. The weapon choices are great and fun to use. It can be a strategic game at times, knowing which gun to use in which situation. Very Fun!

Rating

For starters, I’m not huge on FPS games. Until now, the only FPS games I’ve ever really played and enjoyed were Goldeneye and the fist Halo. The game is smooth and flows well, intuitive and the graphics are terrific (resolution, of course, is terrific if you have a Hi-Def TV). It’s not insufferably long, nor does the game end to early. It’s length is ideal for working adults like myself who don’t have a lot of time to play, but don’t want to take 4 weeks to beat a game. Be warned, this is not a self contained game, there is definitely room for sequels. So don’t expect a difinitive ending.

just got my playstation 3 today..and ive heard a lot of hype surrounding this title so after trying a brief demo at target i picked it up… i was really floored this game is fantastic! if you like the call of duty series or the doom series…this merges them together perfectly…

this game looks alike call of duty 3 but with the creepy doom touch…the villians are hidious and are fun to shoot down…this game is very gritty and bloody..so i would not give this to 4 year old johnny on his bithday … but if you like a great shooter this delivers in spades…its not halo or gears of war and, it dosent try to be but it works…lots of action..you better watch your back when you play this one!

the graphics are detailed and show off the playstation 3 nicely. and the sound is top notch..its the must have launch title if you dont believe me check out the other reviews even x-play on the g4 network rave about this game … bottom line..if you have a ps3 grab this one..also call of duty 3…

Rating

Resistance is definatly one of my favorite games right now, online is amazing, however it can be frustrating sometimes, because with up to 40 people in a game at once, you often get killed just seconds after you spawn, and people dont spawn snipe, its just that so many people are running around. However it is still a great game and is incredibly fun and it uses the sixaxis controller wonderfully, i would and do recommend this game to anyone.

As a gamer I am highly attracted towards figting games, rpgs, platformers, rts, mmorpg, and adventure type games. FPS games all look the same to me, until I dscovered resistance. As far as graphics and visuals are concerenced…duh it’s a PS3. As far as gameplay extraordinarly fun, great weapons, great story, (AN ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT BELIEVEABLE FPS IS HARD TO FIND THIS IS ONE OF THEM), and smart enemies. Keep in mind I have’nt played a GOOD fps since 007 golden-eye (yea its been that long) so fellow NON-FPS gamers brush up on your inverted Y, hopping, ducking, because Resistance for the PS3 is a great buy!

The best PS3 title since launch and it’s still awesome even now one year after launch. Massive multiplayer game and single player with unlockables. Fun and innovative weapons like the bullseye and the Larrk really make this game a title you should pick up with your PS3.

Rating

Resistance Fall of Man for the PS3 was an exceptional first person shooter. It easily does for old school war games what Halo did for futuristic battle games. The old school (Call of Duty) feel and control made this game familiar, but the imaginative alien enemies kept it fresh. I take my gaming seriously and the more violent the better. Play it once and become addicted. Play it twice to find all the new unlocked weapons. Personally I am on my 4 time (attempting to pick up all the skill points and other hidden goodies).

Rating

This is an amazing game, easily as good as Halo. No point in me saying to much when other reviewers said it so good: Hard to resist, Resistance Fall of Man.

Rating

This is an Old school style FPS with obvious upgrades thanx to the technology behind the PS3. Commands and movements would feel really familiar to experienced gamers. I believe they should make some upgrades to the motor that controls the character movements and work some more in the AI for enemies. I hope Resistance 2 to be a little more solid on this aspects.

Anyway the game is really good, loads of fun and have a great story line.

Scenarios could be tad boring cause they are all very similar I can`t see the difference between London and Oxford other than the snow LOL.

The game pays itself for the multiplayer option so go for it you wont regret it, its already a PS3 classic and goes for a decent price!

I just bought my Ps3 and i actually rented this game becuase I wasn’t sure how much I would like it. Well I have to say I’m kicking myself in the butt right now for not buying it. I just beat the game so there is really no need to buy it now. Anyway the grafics and detail were pretty impressive such as the landscaping, bulldings,soldiers,etc..It really made you feel like it was back in the day type setting untill you get to the alien type buildings which is still great on the eyes. My girlfriend was making fun of me becuase my eyes would burn and get real dry from not blinking. Thats just shows you that this can be a very intense game.Overall I say go ahead and buy it. shoot.. I might just go buy it anyway and play it online!

Rating

Well, when i bought my PS3 I knew that i had to have this game. I love 1st person shooter games so i knew that i would be happy. This game is tough, which is good, but i have to say that the graphics are almost PS2 area. I was expecting ALOT MORE. The levels are too short, too. Some only take around 30 minutes to complete. All in all this game is something, even though i beat it last night, i will play more and more to find all the extras. This is a good game, but IMO, wait for the price to go down or buy used.

Rating

Resistance: “Fall of Man”, is a first-person action game that has an interesting plot and wonderful fighting areas. The aliens are very mysterious and extremely terrifying. Playing this game during the solo missions (without friendly AI assistance) makes this game scary and will make one feel isolated and lonely among the creatures. The feeling of isolation can get so intense, that players will actually feel relieved when they run into their fellow human allies.

The areas once teeming with people feel spooky, abandoned, and one wonders if humans are just another species, doomed for extinction. The enemy AI is smart and one can guarantee that aliens are just waiting to ambush you among the ruins.

Ultimately, this game is very well done and improves on the first-person genre. For example, the controls are fast and fluid and there is tons of action without frame-rate issues. The game also seems devoid of pauses that stop the action for the sake of loading more information. In contrast, Killzone 2, while a good game has that annoying problem. While it’s true that Resistance can be labeled as just another title in the genre, it can also be said that a similar title has never attained this level of perfection.

In conclusion, this title is a must buy for all PS3 owners. It is now even more reasonably priced, since the sequel to it was released and it remains one of the best games for the system.

I enjoyed this game from start to finish. I found it very easy to get used too and was a lot of fun to play. My wife even found it entertaining to watch me play it. Even the on line play is smoothe and fun, and a couple of folks I work with have gotten this and we play online together sometimes. Overall great game, now I have to try out the sequal…..

Rating

One thing you’re sure to hear from 360 fanboys is how Gears of War blows away Resistance, etc etc. Since I own both systems, I went ahead and gave this game a shot a couple days ago, and I was _not_ disappointed. The game may not be as pretty, but it still looks great, and is a blast to play. I wished for a while that there was a cover feature like Gears, but really every other shooter I’ve played doesn’t have it, and I was used to it within minutes.

Pros –

* Campaign plays like a story, feels like you’re playing through history.

* Co-op campaign mode, I’m a big fan of this, for me it makes the game much more enjoyable.

* Great gameplay and graphics, not quite GoW quality, but looks awesome on an HDTV, controls and gameplay are standard, but pretty much flawless.

* Easy to launch into multiplayer play, I downloaded the patch and was playing (for free even) within a couple of minutes with 39 other people in the game, fun stuff.

* Atmospheric, great AI. Challenging for all skills levels, get a feeling of immersion playing through.

* Weapons! These can make or break a shooter…if the weapons aren’t fun to shoot, then a shooter can lose it’s appeal quickly. I enjoyed pretty much every gun you get, but I didn’t really understand why you need to beat the game to get access to a few new weapons…not a good reason to replay a game in my opinion.

Cons –

* Not _quite_ the graphics I expected from PS3, but it’s first gen, so very minute complaint. Only supports 720p – I’m actually not sure if this going to be standard for PS3 games, or later games will be 1080p, (ala blu-ray)but it would have been that much nicer for it to look that much better. If you don’t own an HDTV, don’t worry about this, if you do, you might not even have 1080p resolution, so this “problem” really doesn’t apply to most people.

* I’m noticing a trend here with games like this where the campaign is only around 10 hrs…it’s a great 10, but it kinda sucks to be done in a couple of days, and I don’t gain much satisfaction from beating it on a harder difficulty. (I beat it on medium)That being said, the free multiplayer option is nice. (Also, it’s about 10hrs not including restarts, moving at a fairly fast clip through the game, it could take novice players double that at medium difficulty)

Overall -

Very fun to play through the story, I honestly got as much of a kick out of it as I did GoW…very similar yet somehow not as mindless in presentation. If you want to play through the story once, and don’t enjoy multiplayer, _RENT IT_. If you like playing through on different difficulties, or especially if you enjoy multiplayer shooters, _BUY IT_.

4.5 stars.

This game is AMAZINGGGGG. There is so much fun packed into thuis game, from shooting and dodging fire from about fifty hybrids, to trying to hold off hudreds of leapers. Now for the inevitable, how is it compared to Halo. Well i have played Halo at a friends and i have to say Resistance owns it. To be frank alot of games are ,uch better. Resistance has alot of cool stuff, like alternate firing and crazy weapons. The setting is perfect and your heart will be pounding the entire game.

A review of Resistance: Fall of Man is a simple one to write. It’s the best game out of all the launch titles.

Assuming you are old enough to play a Mature rated game (kiddos definitely shouldn’t be playing this), then this is the game to buy. Single player mode is fantastic. Graphics are wonderful and the enemies are S M A R T! They will try to run around objects and buildings to flank you as you try to take cover.

The game also include cooperative play, so you and a friend can both play through the levels at the same time. A very nice feature. Where this game stands out in my mind though is the online play. Simply fantastic. Plus they keep track of your stats after the game is over so you can move up in rank and get unlocks.

I have Call of Duty 3 and would recommend Resistance over CoD unless you’re a hardcore history buff. If you’re looking for just a good game, Resistance is it.

I own about 12 games (half of them FPS), and this one has been played almost every day since I got it. Its not too easy, not to hard and its a lot of fun. My 6 year old daughter really enjoys some of the enemy creatures, which are deadly but yet funny looking.

A definite 5 star.

This was one of the first games me and my husband got for our PS3, and it is by far the best FPS game I’ve ever played. The storyline is interesting, post WWII but no Germans just Aliens! I used to hate FPS, and was just an RPG fanatic, but I really had fun playing this game!

The only bad thing about this game is that its really short. If you really wanted to you could finish it in a night. Also, you can only save one one player game and one two player game at a time or else it will save over your previous progress. But don’t let that keep you from playing this game its really fun and I’ve played it over many times on a harder setting.

I really give this game credit over all other FPS games I’ve played on the PS3, most others say they are “two player” but don’t let you play with another person AND let go through the story (like rainbow six and ghost recon, you can only play levels you select with no story, or one on one, boring!).

Rating

This game is a 1st person shooter players dream!

The game is challenging and addictive. As the game progresses, the enemies get smarter, use more cover, and become more dificult to kill off. There’s such a wide variety of enemy types that you have to keep your eyes open and develop new techniques as to how to dispatch them (The crawlers I usually use the mine layer to build a string of mines in front of me and they blow themselves up – but you don’t get the mine layer until about level 4!). Best way to go through is like you’re taught in real life – engage the enemy as far out as possible, get to mid range and use the service rifles, then get close in with a shotgun. Use the Auger (this gun is AWESOME! It actually shoots THROUGH cover) for difficult or larger enemies.

The weapons you use are new and unique. You have such a wide variety that you pick up over the course of the game that you can deal with just about any threat. Some of them are incredible, like the sniper rifle which has a secondary “fire” mode where you slow the world down to be able to engage an enemy easily.

The scenery is a little bland and repetetive, but the environments are dynamic, and much like Black, you have to watch where you hide.

The last level is absolutely intense! You’re dealing with every type of enemy all at once, while at the same time trying to shut the whole damn enemy race down (you’ll understand when you get there). I ran out of ammo in everything but the shotgun and Sniper Rifle.

The vehicles you utilize are very fun to drive. Some of the best ways to take care of your regular ground troops is just run right over them (you get points for this too). The enemy tank is totally awesome to run around in. Just hold down secondary fire and let loose with the rockets, and hit the target with short bursts from the primary fire machine gun.

I loved this game and will play again after playing some of the other games I have.

I’ve owned a PS3 since launch but never played this game until recently. I have played the best; Farcry, Call of duty, Crysis FEAR, etc. I was never really interested in playing a console fsp, prefered them on pc. Was in GameStop the other day and decided that 30 dollars was not bad for a game ive heard so much good stuff about. Poped it in my ps3. (yawn). It began like anyother fsp game (yawn). But i noticed something. It was becoming more thrilling and exciting by the minute. I have now been officially hooked. If you like fsp this game should not be missed. Its one of the most engrossing and captivating game on any system. Period.

Rating

This is really a breakout game, the only reason I knock off one star is because it can be very frustrating at times. The AI is very good and the enemies can make you want to slam down the controller often. The game itself is 5 stars easily due to the large variety of weapons, intensity, large maps, and great storyline. It’s very enjoyable to not simply fight the same monsters on every board, each level expands to include more powerful and more intelligent adversaries. The various grenades and rockets are a ball to blow things up with and the gore/violence is intense. Can’t wait for Resistance II

Rating

I bought the PS3 a month ago so I could play Rest. FOM. So far no regrets. I started the game at the very difficult level and slowely moved through the sections of the game. I play for a few minutes a day. Awesome graphics, action packed and challenging. I decided not to get the XBOX 360 with its million games. After owning several consoles over the years, I have come to realize you chose one console and one good game and play the heck out of it. When you are done, then go to the next. This way you will appreciate the gameplay and not get bored. My next game is Resident Evil 5. Can’t wait, but for now, this cd is working its butt off and more.

Great game! The collaborative 2 player mode is really fun and so is the 1 player mode. The graphics and game play are very good and the game is entertaining. My only complaint is that the program does not support 1080 and you cannot save multiple 1 player games. Be careful… this game is addictive!!!

Rating

Just got done playing it and I have to say for the most part I really enjoyed the game.

Pros:

-nonstop action 80% of the time

-alot of the action is team based (though they’re more fodder than anything)

-final boss isn’t rediculous

-recharging one quarter of your life helps ALOT

Cons:

-The “bloom” effect can be really annoying during certain levels. Blurry anyone?

-No way of knowing when a level is going to end (at least could’ve auto-grabbed all the ammo nearby), especially annoying in the later levels

-Sometimes during sniping the crosshair will go red to indicate an enemy in your sights, but when you shoot close to the edge of said enemy, you hit nothing. annoying when you only get 12 shots with the rifle.

-First level was rediculously hard (on medium) considering it’s your first time playing.

Other thoughts:

This game is definatly worth at least a once-through. I have a spitfish FragX controller that has an imperfect mouse attached to it so it was easier for me to do the FPS thing especially coming from PC gaming. If you’re not used to console FPS’, stick with easy difficulty. I still found it challenging at times. Took me about 10 hours.

This was my first game for PS3 and imediately my decision was vindicated. I didn’t have the internet working so i played single player and it blew my mind away. After playing some madden I finally got my internet working and the multi-player just drew me right back in. Theyve done a fantastic job creating a good multi-player system that is easy to get into. High replay value in both single and multi player modes

This game is an absolute blast to play. The campaign is very well written with great, informative cinematic part between missions. Also, most importantly, the campaign is LONG! Do not expect to beat this thing in 5-6 hours like a Call of Duty game. It will easily take 10+ hours. The first night I got it, my friend and I sat down and played the campaign in split screen co-op for about 6-7 hours and only got half way through, and the later missions take longer due to their difficulty.

I’m not one of those reviewers that breaks down the game to scrutinize each part, I judge it on how much fun it is to play, and this game really is fun. The storyline is interesting, and the game play is great.

I have yet to play online though I did play some split screen competitive with some friends, and my only gripes are that though you can only have 4 people play locally, their smallest map is 8 player, and also, you can’t link two PS3′s and play 4 person per PS3. When linking systems, you go down to 1 person per console. So basically you need 5 consoles for 5 people but only 1 console for 4. Very lame if you ask me. Also, the damage needs to be turned down to about 20% for any real fun game play, or else everything is more or less a one hit kill.

As for the campaign, was that in co-op mode, the second player is just some random guy that is never mentioned in the storyline or cinematic parts, so he’s like a ghost that appears and disappears.

However, despite my gripes, I still gave it 5/5 for both fun and overall because this game really is a ton of fun and it is overall very good.

It is one of the few games that allow split screen co-op for the main campaign (VERY disappointed that they don’t have this in Resistance 2 – I have just ordered this and have yet to receive it).

Superior online play with up to 40 players at once definitely makes Resistance: Fall of Man a must have for the sleek new PlayStation 3.

Even though this game has gotten some bad reveiws, I acually think it’s a great game. I just got it today and I’m already hooked. The levels are very well designed and the enemy AI is pretty good. Insomniac also used their talent of making awesome guns for even more awesome guns for Resistance Fall of Man. They had some great ideas for the alien guns like the Bullseye and Auger. I also think the graphics are very good, like how glass breaks and explosions from gas pumps and stuff. Insomniac also took ideas from their previous series,(one of my favorites) Ratchet and Clank. In the fourth game, they have the Landstalker, which is exactly the same as the Stalker from Resistance. They also used skill points for this game, which I always love to collect. Last, the game can really get your heart pumping. It can be very creepy when walking around dark and small tunnels when suddenly a Hybrid jumps out and starts shooting. Overall, I think this game is an awesome FPS for the PS3.

This game is awesome! My husband and I played it and we beat it 3 times. It is a great game to play with a partner or alone. If you want a 2 player campaign game this is the game to have any other game will be a disapointment compared to this one.

Rating

Resistance has cool graphics, great sound, fast gameplay and a decent story.

If thats not enough, the gameplay and level design are excellent, its not likely that you’ll get lost or fail to trigger something.

Checkpoint placement is perfect, not so close that its all easy but not so far apart that you have to start a level over.

This is a great game which is enjoyable and fun to play whether single or multiplayer.

A must have for every PS3 owner !!!

Rating

The game play at times can be very intense, and the graphics are pretty good considering this was one of the first games released with the PS3. This isn’t a terribly difficult game unless you play in “Superhuman” mode which is only unlocked if beaten in hard mode. There are quite a few different guns you will get throughout the game some a lot better then others, and none of them difficult to control. Overall it was enjoyable, and would recommend it to anyone looking or a good first person shooter.

Rating

This is the first game that I brought home from Blockbuster for my brand new PS3 and I’m definitely loving it. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because it is really just a first-person shooter without anything genuinely original. That aside, the graphics rock with a VERY solid frame rate (slowdown – a thing of the past!!!). This game is intense and will have you on edge from start to finish (at least the first time through) and online play potential SHOULD easily rival HALO (I have a feeling I’m going to be crucified for that). I could NOT get enough of driving the tank around and blowing the [explative] out of the creatures hiding or going on suicide runs (note that this AI is the best I’ve ever seen – a lot of these buggers are smart! even though there are enough stupid ones). Would I buy this game? Had I not rented it – yes. I have yet to test its lasting appeal, but with such a limit on games available right now, this one is arguably the cream of the crop.

the game feels like counter strike game in pc.

but it’s better than CS.

the story is fantastic, the weapons are awesome!

Rating

This was my first ps3 game. This was my first online game ever. I was just amazed at all the feautures this game had. The singleplayer story mode had me at the edge of my seat with its great story. The weapons used online and offline were the best i had ever seen in a FPS. This game will last you long. Anyone remember the PS3′s summer drought of 07? Guess which game I used to entertain myself the whole time? Resistance: Fall of Man. I swear i must have put in atleast 150 hours into the online mode.

This game is a must own.

P.S If you like this game buy Raatchet and Clank Future : Tools of Destruction

It may not look as fun as Gears of War but it is way more fun. The single player is almost double the length of Gears and online is insanely fun. It’s probably better in my opinion. If this looked as good, it would be the best game ever made.

This game is the best game of the year by far! The graphics are excellent and the environments are SOO immense and realistic. You would be hard pressed to find a better game out there. If you thought GoW was good, play RFOM and be prepared for your JAW TO DROP, and to have your SOCKS KNOCKED OFF!

It was an an excellent game when it came out and it still is today! If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time. Well worth the new lower price! Buy one for yourself and another for a friend. I’m looking forward to Resistance 2 to come out now.

Rating

Back when PS3 launched, there were not many good games out there. As I like shooters, I decided to give this one a shot. Simply put this game turned out MUCH BETTER than what I expected.

PROS.

-AWESOME ALIEN WEAPONS: Most of the first person shooters today have the same type of weapons, but Resistance has very unique set of alien weapons that will distinguish it from the rest of the average shooter. For example, with a gun named bullseye, you can tag an enemy and then regardless where it runs, your shots follow him. Another one is called Auger, that shoots bullets through the wall. And what I described is just tip of the ice burg.

-MORE ALIEN WEAPONS: There are some cool alien weapons that are not available during the first playthrough. But once you beat the game, during the second playthrough, you can obtain and use them. This truly adds to replayability of the game.

-VEHICLES: Other than weapons, you also get access to some cool human and alien vehicles. I can’t tell you how awesome it feels to massacre hordes and hordes of enemies using devastating human tanks and giant alien fighters.

-DECENT VARIETY IN ENEMIES: While all of their faces are very similar, this game does a very good job with challenging you with a variety of enemies. This can be single unarmed chimera to giant chimeran monsters and chimeran vehicles. In brief, you won’t get bored.

-PRETTY GOOD STORY: The story is about how Sergent Hale who is infected with Chimeran virus fights chimeran enemies while fighting infection itself. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much without spoiling, but story is simple and very nicely narrated. While it doesn’t take huge twists, there are events that will get you curious about Hale and human race’ fate.

-VARIETY OF AREAS: So many shooters these days have the same type of corridor like area over and over again. Not resistance though. You will pass through plenty of open fields, woods, buildings, cities and chimeran towers in this game.

-AWESOME MULTIPLAYER: You can fight as human vs human, human vs chimera and chimera vs chimera in different multiplayer modes. Being human and chimera introduce you distinct advantages and limitation making multiplayer very involved and deep.

-GREAT REPLAYABILITY: With multiplayer, different difficulty modes and second run through weapons, you will be playing this game for quite a while.

Like every game Resistance also has its limitation.

CONS

-YOUR HEALTH BAR: While some people may love it, I don’t like health bar in shooters these days. It diverts me from the story experience and makes me focus on searching health packs. Really not big fan of it. This also kind of makes more challenging at times than what it needs to be.

-MINES: Hate mines. While it makes experience more real, parts of the game are frustrating because you will suddenly die because of them.

-COLORE TEXTURE: Graphics are awesome in this game, however, colors in general look a bit faded. Never the less the game still looks magnificent.

Contrary to minor flaws, this game truly delivers. Different alien weapons, vehicles and enemies will truly make this game an enjoyable experience that will make you coming back for more. Oh did I tell you that other than single player, it also has an awesome multiplayer?

Rating

After buying this game and playing it, I believe it has deserved to be a greatest hit. I usually don’t play first person shooters that much (I know, I’m a loser! lol) but the storyline really intrigued me. I like how during the cut scenes, there is a narration that makes you involved with the storyline and instead of other FPS where you just shoot things and there is really no storyline at all. The different environments are pretty cool and diverse but there are some that are kinda repetitive. I like how you can carry every gun that you get in the game instead of Resistance 2 where you are only limited to 2 guns you can carry at a time. The graphics are great but of course since it was one of the first games that was made for the PS3 there are games that have a lot better graphics (for example Resistance 2). The only thing I could think of as a downside would be no unlockables or extra content, once you beat the game that is pretty much it. I mostly play single player campaign so I have not tried out the online multiplayer yet. Overall, I think this game and its sequel Resistance 2 is definitely a series of games to get into because it was very fun and entertaining to play.

Resistance is one of those games that are worth buying a system for. Sounds like a lot but it s a very good game. The Playstation 3 isn’t exactly the system to buy right now, The Nintendo Wii is a lot cheaper and has the most innovative gameplay a system can have, and the XBox 360 has a year over the PS3 with almost triple the library that the PS3 has right now. But even with all that, the PS3 is still a system that has the most potential out of the 3, once the games come in its gonna be on.

Now the actual game is a great one, the story isn’t exactly the best or the most original but it does its job. The graphics are great but still lacks the graphical power of games like “Gears of War”. The game has great controls, that should feel natural to people that have played FPS shooters on the PS2, even to those that haven’t played the controls will feel like second nature once you play 5 minutes through, plus the game makes good use of the new Six-Axis controller (Example; when an enemie jumps on you, you can shake the controller to shake off the enemy). Since this game is from the same people that brought you “Ratchet & Clank” the weapons in this game are unique and very fun to play with, each weapon has a special secondary fire for example the Shotgun has a double fire, Sniper Rifle can slow down time for better accuracy and the most stand out weapon of the game is the AUGER which can shoot through walls and can create a shield for its secondary fire. The sound/music in this game isn’t exactly that special especially compared to the “Metal Gear Solid” series.

Another thingabout this game is the ONLINE PLAY, online for this game is one of the best supporting up to 40 players playing at once. There are about 8 different levels with different settings depending on the number of players. The Pace online is crazy as f*** especially when there are a lot of people, you can also customize your character for online with plenty of options, honestly I Like this better than Halo’s online play (People are gonna hate me) the reason is because even though the physics in this game aren’t exactley realistic, the pace and the delivery is a lot more friendly than Halo’s. All in all this game isn’t exactley a killer app FPS like Halo, but it has a special feel to it that you can’t copy their style or gameplay, so if you have a Playstation 3 and don’t have this game, get it right away.

Rating

Been playing console first person shooters for years, and I have to say that this one gave me the most pleasure (followed by Halo, probably). I would rate it as a full-bladder game — I played the bulk of the adventure needing to use the bathroom, but too interested to see what happens next to actually press pause and get up.

Gun selection, replay value, graphics, and (especially) plot, were excellent. While playing Gears of War on the 360 left me feeling frustrated (biggest complaint being that it was difficult to tell my own team from the enemy), this one was just unmitigated fun. I would complain only by saying that the beginning of the game was probably more difficult than the end, so for those players who find frustration in the first chapter, have faith that once your character gains the ability to regenerate, things get a lot more interesting.

It’s a game of jawdropping beauty on a big HDTV. That said, I can’t recommend a $600 system with only one solid game to anybody who doesn’t have the TV to make the most out of it. If you have the bucks, the TV and the faith that Sony will pull through with more games, however, step up to the plate and enjoy the ride.

Rating

I’m sure everyone’s covered all the great things about this game but I just wanted to mention the controls. I’m not a big fan of the Playstation controllers probably because I’m just used to playin Xbox but I thought the controls in this game were very quick and responsive. Resistance felt the most comfortable I’ve ever been on the Playstation 3, (for shooters anyway). Great game and fore [...] bucks it’s a steal.

Rating

What a great game! The graphics are great and the storyline is engaging. The best part of the game though is the guns. WOW! The weapons are excellent and your only hope against the endless waves of enemies with excellent AI. They actually form defensive positions and duck-and-fire. I love the secondary abilities of the guns; they make it that much more fun. I loved Halo, but this game is right up there for me.

Rating

With all the great reviews there is not much to say. I ‘ve been playing this game for two days non stop, everything about this game is worth every dollar, the story is great, the graphics are jaw dropping, I would love it to have full HD, but I can live with that.

Cheers

Great game play, It’s fast and really easy to learn, on the 1st stage you can get up to it.

The story envolves you, its well planned and flows very nicely.

Game play modes are quite vast, you can play Story mode alone, or Cooperative with a 2nd player offline only. Multiplayer offline goes up to 4 players while Online you can play with a lot, i mean a LOT of players…my favorite mode in this game is Capture the Flag.

It has some unlockables and cheat inside game. Can’t tell how many, but it has a lot…

Its a must Buy for every PS3 owner…

Over and out.

Rating

Don’t want to repeat what all the others said, but only have a few comments.

The game is pretty easy through most of it, but somehow about three levels to the end, it becomes very, very difficult. And now I’m stuck at the last level and cannot finish the game.

Rating

Resistance has amazing graphics on an HDTV. The video cut scenes look incredible. The Dolby Digital surround sound is equally amazing. You can actually use the surround speakers to tell where an opponent or the computer is located. The story line is interesting, but kind of cheesy at times. Online play is fun, and I have only noticed lag once or twice. There are many online modes to choose from, but sometimes it’s difficult getting into a game of similar level players. There’s always one or two players much better than the rest, which can get frustrating.

The weapon selection is OK, but some of the weapons are just plain stupid (the sapper!). Other weapons are great, if you can find ammo. That is a continual problem in the game… finding ammo for the gun you really want to use. You pick up the hailstorm, but then you can’t find ammo for two levels! You get the rocket launcher, but only a couple shells.

Overall a great game, probably one of the best out for PS3 so far. If you buy this game, make sure you try the online play, it’s one of the best features.

Rating

Ive never played a war game before this game is tight. Its like counter strike meets resident evil with a great story. It has really awesome graphics and the best weapons ive used in a first person shooter. Currently the only game I own for ps3 and Im confident its the best available for the time being. If you love action, suspense, and whole lot of options in game play definitley pick this up.

Rating

The first killer app for PS3 and must buy for fans of the genre, great graphics, challenging, lots of unlockable weapons every time you finish the game add to it’s replay value, the online games with up to 40 gamers are incredibly fun and the network’s matching system is great. A must.

Rating

I’ve played this game through the campaign alone 3 times and it hasn’t gotten old. Online play is a huge bonus with unlockable character goodies and a unique ranking system.

Multiplayer and Co-op make it extra fun as the levels transform into unique territory.

Highly reccomended!

Rating

The game play is outstanding. I really enjoyed playing this game. I am looking forward to playing the sequel.

I am not sure why we are not hearing about this game over and over again… it seems to be a big hit but not on the national media level…

Simply put… one of the best… Get it…

Rating

Hard to believe that this is the first game ever made for the PS3 and still one of my top 5. I have finished this game twice by myself and once Cooperative. Very fun shooting, good learning curve, good checkpoints, solid frame rate, nice muted graphics. If you have not played this game, give it a chance. Keep in mind that this is an old school first person shooter. You don’t get regenerative health. You do sort of but those little health bars go real quick if you are not careful. Very good AI means that if you don’t strategize, you will die a lot in this game. There is no auto-aim a la Call of Duty. The best part of this game is the co-op and the variety of cool guns. For some reason, some people literally loath this game and others(like myself) love it. Give it a chance. Generally, if you don’t like it the first hour, you are not going to like it. Try the free demo on the PSN first before buying to see if the mechanics appeal to you..

Rating

Resistance successfully combines many of the best qualities from other great first-person shooters with spectacular visuals and a few novel twists.

Rating

The year is 1951. World War 2? Whats that? World War 2 never happened, instead, A nefarious race of creatures known as the Chimera have conquered all of Europe, and can take the North Americas in a matter of days. This could be the very end of all humanity. We must fight back, we must resist.

You’ll be strapping into the boots of Nathan Hale, a United States soldier who is one of many sent to Britain to aid their allies. While in Britain, you are infected with the Chimeran virus, but not killed. The narrator refers to Hale’s eyes multiple times, and how they are golden and subtle. Playing as a figurative “Walking dead” is an interesting idea, and sports you regenerating health. While Hale is immune to the virus, how long will it last?

You absolutely cannot review this game without mentioning the weapons. Insomniac Games (Creators of the hit series “Ratchet and Clank”) have not only thought outside the box with these weapons, they have completely obliterated it. You have the typical M2A2 Carbine, nothing new there. But think of how drastically combat can change when you or your enemy can fire straight through your cover and destroy almost any tactical plan you may have had. I wont say much more about the weapons, you just have to experience them for yourself.

The graphics have aged (Since this was a launch title for the PS3 after all) but the unique art style and use of colors is to be commemorated. You’ll find alot of Grey and white environments, and just out of nowhere, a bright chorus of red or blue light. The reason why this works, is that it really feels out of place (Much like the Chimera invasion.) The Chimera themselves also look fantastic. Insomniac has paid definitive attention to detail, as every object has a meaning. Cars that are rusted look like they are actually rusted, and you can even blow apart tubes on the Chimera’s coolant tanks (Located on their backs) and watch the steam escapse from them.

You get a hopeless ambience from playing this. As the back of the box says, every death for you, is a gain for them. This truly is humanity’s last stand, and everything is at stake.

This game will keep you hooked from the very beginning to the very end. Be sure to take a stroll through Manchester, just try not to get killed.

Like many other people i bought this as my first game for my PS3. The campaign mode has a pretty good story and reminds me of the 90′s classic Marathon. At some points in the game you get to drive Tanks, A Range Rover and even a Gundam style walker in a huge battle. As with all single player games though, the AI of the enemies is pretty weak. They are always waiting in the same buildings in the same places in the same numbers. All it takes is a well thrown nade and they are dead. It shouldn’t take more than three days for you to finish this game in campaign mode.

It doesn’t matter that the campaign is short, because the online multiplayer is where the real battles are happening. I have personally played on a server with 40 people and its just mayhem at its best. The smooth and detailed graphics make it great to sometimes just be a spectator and watch people go for it. Another pleasing feature is that there are no slowdowns or dropped frames even in intense battles. The only downer to online play is that none of the vehicles are available…

Anyway, i think its a great game that all FPS lovers should own.

Rating

And still one of the best FPS’s shooters out there for the PS3 (although, not many in the market yet…)

I wont be redundant and comment on what everybody has already said for this game, but rather share my overall experience with this title. After all, if you are reading this, odds are you are minutes away from purchasing the game.

Graphics, sound, storyline, they are all great (see other reviews). But whats really impressive is how easy you’ll get hooked up to online play. Its simple, it loads fast, plenty of people (up to 40) and several maps and modes to choose from. And the best part is that after all this time, most people will continue to play without getting bored. Whether you want to jump in to a classic all-bullet death match inside a mall, or just take your time and play against other snipers in abandoned cities, you’ll always find a challenging game. I really enjoy how easy and fast it is to find and join a game, unlike other multiplayer games out there.

On the flip side, the amount of glithcers (cheaters) is substantial, even though Insomniac has been working on several patches and fixes to prevent this from occurring.

One recommendation: you will need a headset. Either get a USB or a bluetooth headset (or both) to fully enjoy the online experience.

PROS

- Sharp, realistic graphics

- Superb Sound

- Easy to learn

- Addictive multiplayer

- Great replay value

CONS

- Continuous updates are needed to fix minor issues.

- Limited options if you want to change your soldier’s appearance.

- No co-op option available for online play

Rating

My son and I loved the game and the story. Gave us a chance to work together. Several of the advance battles require that the team players work together, acting separately, in order to succeed–one acts as decoy while the other attacks, and vice versa.

Graphics are neat, and some of the creatures are eerie. (They have these scorpion like things that attack in packs–you hear them coming before they arrive. As you hear them coming, you tense up and feel the anxiety.

Great fun!

If FPS is the game that you like, get this one, one of the fps game for PS3!

All I have to say is, WOW! This game is amazing in just about every way. From Graphics to the outstanding online modes. This game is perfect.

Well this is the best one PS3 came out with. Can’t wait for them to come out with more great games.

Rating

No one can resist the urge to keep playing Resistance: Fall of Man once the game is started. Chapter after chapter of exhilarating battles against a plethora of creatures that you use a plethora of weapons to defeat (and they’ll use them against you too).

To really put the plot of the game in context (if you care about the plot), it’s well worth the visit to the official Resistance: Fall of Man web site; there’s a ton of story there that I’d bet 90% of the people who start the game are unaware of. For me, the story helped me “get into character” for the game. If you just want to start wasting some nasty beasts, “Get to it, soldier!” Rest assured, the story won’t help you beat the enemies or evade the barrage of defenses that will be fired at you by them.

As a relatively new gamer, I’m glad that I played Call of Duty 3 Call of Duty 3 before I cracked open Resistance: Fall of Man. It was good FPS training (set in approximately the same time period) for this much more difficult PS3 title.

Resistance has an M (mature gamers only) rating which miffs me a bit, but then I’m a bit more liberal when it comes to what I think might warp the little minds of kids these days. I’ve seen this classified as a Horror title, but I think that Sci-fi Action is much more fitting. Resistance deserved a T (teen) rating. My kids and I get hung up all too often on sunny days playing Resistance’s Co-op Mode when we should be outside playing ball. And hopefully that alone speaks volumes as to how addictively fun this game is.

Co-op Mode is split screen of course because the game is FPS; it would be nice if some games could give the option of switching to a single screen, third person view for Co-op in order to negate the need for split screen, but that would distinctly change to look, range, feel and some of the weaponry…so I assume that’s why it’s never offered on Co-op mode.

Multi-player is very cool. Multi-player is not like Co-op where you play the Campaign Mode with a partner. In Multi-player you battle against your friends offline (4 player max/split screen) or online (40 player max/full screen). You get some areas of battle to play in that you encountered in Campaign Mode and some new map scematics.

But Resistance’s real challenge is in single player Campaign Mode.

Your weapons are plentiful. You start with a pretty standard machine gun (M5A2) that includes a grenade launcher that will become your best “little friend” in the game. It’s very useful on the enemies that you encounter most throughout the game. You also get several mean weapons that you pick up from your fallen comrades and defeated beasts including the enemy’s main machine gun (The Bullseye…very handy), grenades, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a radiation blaster (The Auger), a mine thrower, a rapid fire subsonic bolt dispenser (The Hailstorm) and a rocket launcher.

Grenades are key to survival…use them, but you’ll want to keep in mind that you can run out real real fast…so use them pretty much exclusively to take down groups of enemies.

(And five other weapons aside from the ones that I mentioned above are unlocked only after beating/completing the game once on medium difficulty or higher.)

If you missed the countless gamer magazines’ synopsises of the creature types and the power of the individual weapons, there are some great gamer help web sites that are worth taking a look at to help you strategize (just click on my profile above and email me if you’d like me to point you in the right direction).

And speaking of getting pointed in the right direction, part of the fun of this game is figuring out on your own how to get from chapter to chapter. There are no maps, which at times was frustrating. Let me tell you that if the phrase “the best route is not always the most obvious” ever applied to trying to get from here to there it applies in this game on more than one occasion.

You’ll also need to at times navigate a jeep and a tank.

So what exactly are you fighting? Where exactly did they come from? If you’re up to the challenge to find out….You’re Sgt. Nathan Hale, and you’re the only one with a Resistance to the Fall of Man. Prepare for some serious battle.

Rating

I read some review of this game, saying it was dead hard to stop playing chapter after chapter once you start. I say its true.

Im a 25 y-o engineer who gets easily bored with a video game unless it’s very good. Resistance IS very good, close to excellent. I’m playing it now, just got it a few days ago. The other night i played until late in the night, and when to sleep just for the idea that i had to get up early to keep playing. The story is very good. I keep wondering if in the end, hale will become an alien and join the chimeran forces, or will just become a super human but keep his own mind. Like any good book the game keeps you wondering, unveiling bits of the story as you play it through.

100% recommended.

Update: 26/04/09

Still find the game to be excellent. I’ve finished campaign mode, so im playing it again in co-op and single (hard difficulty). I think the campaign mode was a bit short.

Co-op is so much fun that it’s actually worth your time to actually redo the whole campaign again. It’s particularly special when you play the levels where you need to use a vehicle.

Online is excellent so far. Hard to survive at first but lots of fun as you master it.

I dont like the fact that the cinematics between level in co-op mode are exactly the same as in single mode. It’d be nice if the second player would at least show up in the videos, even if not mentioned in the narrative.

I got this game when I bought my ps3 on launch and have purchased close to 20 games since and this game still is by far my favorite. Ive played through the campaign several times but what really holds my interest is the online matches. I traded in my copy of Halo 3 after a few months cause it got old, but Resistance still keeps me wanting more… CANT WAIT FOR RESISTANCE 2!!!!!

the game is great multiplayer also is. A great first game for ps3 owner. as soon as i am finish resistance 1 i am going for 2. wish there was a little more story back ground.my psn is DJKLOVER14

I first bought Genji, and was okay with it. But when I got RFOM, I couldn’t stop playing. I usually don’t even buy shooting games, but this game is amazing. here’s some of the pros and cons and you can decide for yourself if it’s worth buying.

Pros:

-FREE ONLINE PLAY

-good graphics, esp. with HD

-the motion thingy, like wii, is moderately used.

-pretty sweet weapons…big variety (same guys who made Ratchet & Clank)

-decent campaign mode, LONG story, but makes it challenging

-max. 40 players per game online

Cons:

-only 1 person can go online per console

-offline, only 4 people can go on

-can’t message friends while playing (360 can)

-HD is only 720, not full.

The only thing keeping me from giving this game 5 stars is the online play. It’s pretty chetty. My friends can’t play online with me on the same console. They’d have to buy their own ps3. The other cons, I don’t mind so much. I like this game better than halo, though, because it’s easier for me to control, and better than gears (even though gears graphics is better than RFOM), because of weapon selection. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t be willing to buy this game for $60 if they bought a ps3 for $600.

Rating

I bought my PS3 and bought this game with it the same day. I’m not much of a FPS guy and I have not played one since Doom, so yes I’m well aware I’m behind the times but this one I heard was really good and worth it.

Playing the one player mode is pretty good, lots of action all around and some pretty intense spots but I think this game really shines in the co-op mode. I never had so much fun as when my buddy came over and we played it for a good 5 hours before we looked up. The weapons are pretty cool and the levels are big and not too complex that you don’t know where you’re going or where to go next. For a guy who doesn’t play these games much I had a sweet time playing co-op mode and just rushing in and seeing how long you could last while you’re being fired at by 30 guys. You also get some fun using a tank and a jeep and then an alien crawler thing.. pretty good gun battles. The controls take a little getting used to, using both of the sticks and then the R1 button and then the R3 button to zoom in.. it takes some time but once you get it down, it’s well worth it.

Overall if you’re not really a FPS shooter kinda person rent this game then play it with a friend and I gurantee you’ll buy it! and don’t forget the deathmatch stuff as well.. try not having fun with rocket launchers, endless ammo and a big city to try and search for the other guy in.. come on!!

I have never been a big fan of first person shooters. To me most of the games seem to have the same revolving storyline with you being the hero. The FPS genre has become the sure fire top game seller over the past several years. So it was no surprise to me when Sony announced that their biggest launch title would be Resistance Fall of Man. I was less than enthusiastic about it and was hoping for something a little different to help persuade my buying decision. When I eventually bought a PS3 last week I reluctantly purchased this game. The positive reviews are what caused me to hope for something good at least. When I eventually got a chance to sit down and play the game I became more than enthusiastic. Resistance is a very well put together game with excellent physics, A.I., and graphics. Now I am not going to compare graphics or gameplay to other shooters. All I can say is this game has excellent visual effects when watching the destruction take place. Some of the environments are amazingly detailed with a sense of watching a good sci-fi movie set in the 1950′s. I was captivated with the excellent storyline and the larger than life plot. Nothing about your character is average…but he is also not some superhero that looks like he works out everyday. The A.I. is amazing in this game and it shows how well the enemy can anticipate your moves. I was having problems in a building because everytime I thought the enemy was moving in the other direction he would come right up on me and open fire. Hopefully this an indication of what developers can do on the cell based architechture. We will see. Now as far as graphics are concerned. I would say this game was not a show stopper. It’s presented in 720p and is set with numerous dark Earth tones. I believe this was the intention of the developer when setting the mood. Obviously chilling would be a key word. Some of the textures are amazing and the explosion and smoke effects are superb. Although playing this game also helps me realize they still have a long way to go on taking the PS3 to it’s limits.

Playing online is very impressive. The times I have played it never had trouble finding me a room which had several people playing. If you are looking for an intriguing story and generally a very good game to keep you busy over the next month or two then this is it.

Wow, Where to begin? So i finally bought myself a ps3 in march 2009. Upon purchasing it i bought Skate 1 (rocked) and NBA Live 08 (sucked). blown away by the graphics i was slightly dissapointed throwing $400 down for this system. I went to my buddies and a light dawned on me when he let me borrow Resistance Fall of man. i popped that baby in and was completely blown away! The story captures you and clings you in to play each addicting chapter after chapter untill hours have flown by. I have completed it on easy and i’m now half-way through on medium. To my surprise the replay value is immense! new weapons on each time you play makes it a different experiance on each replay! I’ve said enough, now i know its money well spent for my ps3! a must have!

I didn’t get this when it first came out with the ps3. Good thing I waited because I just picked it up last week for 1/3 of the original price. It’s a first person shooter with pretty decent graphics but game play not as great as some others.

this game is pretty good, i had a lotta fun playin it, i would recommend buyin it.

I’m two years late to the PS3 party because I wasn’t going to drop $600 on a game system. WHen they hit $299 it was enough for me to make the plunge. WIth this game in the < $20 range it's a great pick up and a no brainer. Content wise it will keep you going for hours and a great use of all the main features of the controller + system. Multiplayer is still alive and well and it was easy to find a group of people to run around and shoot at.

The story line was a surprise to me as I had not read any reviews and had only played it slightly in the store years ago. Having it set in the 1950s was a surprise and a welcome treat because I’m a fan of alternative history speculative fiction. The bad guys are pretty tough in the PVE mode and include teaming up on you and going for cover. Very creative for FPS even with the newer titles out.

The opening chapter/massacre was pretty intense considering how blind I went into it. THings softened up a bit afterwords but at first I was wondering if it was going to be this difficult even at the medium difficulty.

Rating

This is one of the best launch games on the ps3 (next to Marvel Ultimate Alliance). This game has a mix of diffrent game/movies. Doom + Call of duty + Resident evil + Alien = Resistance: fall of man

—–Story

This is a First person shooter (FPS) taking place in Europe in 1951 where a virus broke out in Russia and is spreading to England. Main misson is stop the Chimera and stop the virus from spreading. You are part of the American forces that are aiding England in there fight agenst the Chimera.

—–Overall

Gameplay: awesome: I love the controller fuction when you get grabbed by an enemy you have to physiclly move the controller left and right. Yes you get grabbed! By what……zombie like things.

Online/muilti-play: have no idea! But IF I knew I bet it would be The Best (play w/ 40 people at once). Co-op is Fun! it is always more fun with more people.

Sound: oy! man surround sound would sound CRAZY!!! Good sound

Reply: Yes but depending on who you are. One example is if you want to play and beat the game on the hardest level and/or getting all the unlockables. Then yes, the game is replyable.

To sum it all up this game will be fun while it lasts and hope for a bigger and better sequal.

Oh…almost forgot….DO NOT compare ps3 games to Xbox360 games. Why? ‘cuz the 360 has been out for a year so they had time to make some of the crazyest games. Plus, do you think that the ps3 will come out with there best games first….they are called launch games for a reason. Just give the ps3 some time.

I don’t know how any one can get the real picture on this game with reviews from the fanboys and haters being so predominant. I hope my review is helpful to you.

This is the best first-person-shooter for a SONY platform. The gameplay is fun and solid. Controls are responsive and, as stated by another reviewer, hit detection is accurate. It’s a must own launch title for the PS3.

The graphics are in a bit “flat”. They don’t have that multi-dimension feel that I expected from a next-gen title on such a powerful system. There’s no depth to inanimate objects such as grass, boxes, chairs and so forth. Also, you can just run right through dead characters. You don’t have the ability to push the bodies around. Also, when walking through grass you literally walk “through” it. It doesn’t move you just pass through it. The environments also aren’t very interactive. There’s not much more you can do besides run, hide and shoot.

The smoothness of the gameplay is impressive. Even when there are loads of characters on screen everything still runs smoothly. This is a testament to the PS3′s power. That being said, it also means that this game doesn’t really stress the hardware. Resistance delivers and goods and does everything well.

We have to remember that the PS3 is still in its infancy and has a way to go before the software catches up to the hardware. We’ll have to wait for the next round of high end games to find out just what the PS3 is capable of.

Rating

So many good 1st person shooter games but nothing like this. The graphics are great… not the best… but definately considered eye candy to me. What makes this such a unique First Person Shooter is the weapons. The Creators of ratchet and clank created this game brought there crazy weapon ideas and implemented them into this FPS.

PROS:

LOTS OF FUN

CREATIVE WEAPONS

GOOD ONLINE PLAY

STORY IS LAID OUT WELL

CONS:

SHORT CAMPAIGN MODE

FOR A LAUNCH GAME… IT’S A GRADE “A” IN MY BOOK, AND THE BEST LAUNCH GAME FOR THE PS3. looking forward to part 2!

This is by far my favorite game. I’ve been playing it for about 12 hours now and it is just plain awesome. If you want to play one of the best games of 2006. Resistance Fall of Man is the #1 choice. The multiplayer is also great.

Rating

Bottom line is that this game is great..And just when you think youre almost finished, It just keeps going,,Anyone whos played MOH RISING SUN,which still pisses me off how short that one was….Anyway, this game is well worth it.

Rating

First said, im only commenting on multiplayer deathmatch. Ive played multiplayer for many years, back when doom and duke nukem were new. Of all the games with intense multiplayer competition, fall of man is the best. The call of duty series and the old un-animated half life probable come very close. You can’t run thru a door and drop a frag or hedgehog grenade and waste all that follow any quicker than fall of man. Face a group of supreme commanders and get your tail handed back to you. Nice

Rating

I normally don’t like first person shooter games because they are too hard for the casual gamer and require a big time investment. But this game gives a gamer like me a challenge with lots of save points. Great for saving time and reducing repitition. I also enjoy the multi-player option, where I can run around a map with a friend and try to shoot each other. The online multi-player option is fun and easy to get started with, however, I’m generally playing against players who spend a lot more time figuring out strategy and weapons than I do.

So, this game has a ton of features that will delight both the casual and advanced gamer. Graphics are also great and the controls are easy to use.

Rating

Fall of man is the best game on the market right now. Everything about it is amazing. The chimera are some ugly, fierce, and smart enemies in this game. The AI is unreal. The sounds and graphics of this game are amazing. The only thing I found disappointing of this game was that I wish there was a bit more situations where you got to fight along side other soldiers like in the first level. Other than that I loved the game. Great story behind it too!

Rating

Excellent game that will keep you on the edge of your seat! 5 stars!!

Rating

The game tells the story of Nathan hale,it take place in the 1950′s and instead of WW2 a race of creatures know as the Chimera have destroyed Russia and pretty much all of europe and its up to Hale and a group of rag tag soldiers to put a end to it.

Gameplay

At first you might think the game is your typical WW2 shooter but after playing the first few stages you’ll see it’s not.The thing that really puts the game apart from other shooters is tha great selection of crazy weapons you get along the way,You get everything from the normal shotgun and Machinegun and even the rocket launcher but you also get some crazy stuff like the Auger which fires threw walls and can put up a shield that helps you dodge on coming fire and the hailstorm which fires little bolts everywhere and one of my favorites is the hedgehog granade which shoots spikes all over the place.

The A.I in the game for the most part is pretty solid the Chimera and your soldiers do a great job of taking cover and flank each other and they just do a great job of trying not to die.The Chimera also get more advance weapons and gear later in the game and put up a very good challenge.

The game engine can also throws a lot of enemys and objects on the screen all at once, theres times when you are facing all sorts of Chimeras at once plus theres all sorts of crazy stuff going on in the background like tanks blowing things up and these massive spider robots walking around.

The game also has a great Multiplayer that you can have matches to up to 40 people and the game plays very smooth and the modes are pretty cool like capture the Flag and Death Match and also Meltdown(its just like nodes from Ratchet and Clank).

Graphics

One thing that a video game company that is making a launch game they want to make sure it looks great and shows you what the console can do.The N64 had Mario64 and Waverace and the Dreamcast had Soul Caliber and the Xbox had Halo and now the PS3 has Resistance and it looks great,like I said earlier the game has a crazy art style if I had to put my finger on it I would say it reminds me of the combine world in Halflife 2 and the For runner tech from the Halo series but thrown into Europe in the 1950′s.

The game also has a nice little thing for small detail like little blades of grass moving in the wind,pieces of trash flying around and the lighting in the game looks sick two.But the best thing for me is the game always runs smooth and never drops a beat even when things get crazy and theres all sorts of moments when the game gets crazy.

Sound

The game also has some very nice voice work and the soundtrack is also well done.The Chimera also sound pretty cool.Oh yeah if you have a great set of speakers or a great system you are in for a treat.

Final thought

The game is so much fun the only thing that I would complain about would be the health system and the check points both just felt kind of dated to me,at times theres not enough check points and the health system is based off of health packs and sometimes you just dont get enough of them.But besides those two things the game is a killer app all the way and is by far the best Shooter to come from a Sony studio and to grace a Playstaion platform.

Well go buy the game if you have not now its 29.99 and man I cant wait to see what they will do with Resistance 2 Hugh boss fights 64 players online and 8 player online campaine its going to be epic.

I received this game with my 160GB PS3, and to tell you the truth, I planned to sell it to Gamestop the next chance I got. Im glad I didn’t, because in truth, this is one of the best FPS’s i’ve played in a while. It’s not as good as Call Of Duty, but it’s good in it’s own kind of way. The story is very interesting and well told, and the action is nonstop, which is what I like in a shooter. It flows really well, and AI is the best i’ve seen in any shooter before. The cover system could use a little work though, and the varity of weapons could be a bit broader, but it’s cool. Multiplayer co-op is VERY fun to play as well. Overall I give Resistance Fall Of Man a 5/5.

Rating

I am glad I waited to review this game. At first it was fun but each time we beat it and our tactics improved, it got better and better. We are half way through Super Human on Co-Op and the AI just continues to improve. There are new weapons each round also. What’s great is that every weapon stays in your arsenal for the whole game once you find it. The grenades are some of the best in the business…the backlash in particular which Halo tried to steal for Halo 3 and still couldn’t get it right. I know this game has been out for a while and the multiplayer is kinda out of control, but grab some buddies and Co-Op each difficulty…you’ll be glad you did.

Rating

I have been a huge fan of insomniac games and their products. Their Ratchet and Clank series is my favorite. This game is a bit of a departure into more realistic SciFi but still uses the same thinking in the game play as far as selection and diversity of weapons and enemies. It also has a great foreboding sense to every level by using muted colors, rich textures, and dramatically creepy music and sounds.

The online play is wonderful and has had 2 map packs added via the Sony PS3′s online storefront. This game has a very good range in difficulty level in the off line story mode from easy beginner to insanely hard to beat expert. I would recommend this for any 1rst person shooter fan that is older that 14. It is quite violent.

Rating

When I first started this game the first thing that grabbed me was the way the story was told. I really liked the way it was presented. Unfortuanately the gameplay failed to impress me as much. I was breezing through the game and felt like I was just going through the motions. Thinking that things were too easy I kicked up the difficulty to “Hard”. And all I can say is “WHOA!!!” What a difference that little setting made!!”

After I passed the first encounter and got into the game proper I was taken back by how polished the gameplay was!! The equipment, the weapons, AI and control, it all just came together in one beautiful package!! HARD mode, I decided, is the way the game was ment to be played!! Resistance: Fall Of Man turned out to be one of the most complete and polished experiences, I had had in a long time. If you have a PlayStation 3 you owe to YOURSELF to play this game! Hell in my opinion, this CURRENTLY is the PS3′s ONLY “KILLER APP”!! So what are you waiting for?! GO BUY IT!! My only hope is that this game gets the sales and recognition that it deserves!!

With that said, put the flame throwers down Fanboys! This is coming from somebody who OWNS a PlayStation 3 AND an XBox 360!! And although, I prefer the “here-and-now” of the XBox 360 more than “one-day-it’s-gonna” of the PlayStation 3, I’m a gamer! I’m here for the games! So what is with all the hardware hate, anyway?!

P.S. Although it may discredit me in some of your opinions,(Of which I am beyond caring) I should mention that I have yet to play through Heavenly Sword.(I’m currently awaiting my copy to arrive in the mail.) I was extremely underwhelmed by the “button-masherness” of the demo!

This game was a joy to play straight out of the box. It was a great choice to make this a launch title due to it’s great playability. It looks far better in HD so be sure to get HDMI cables. I recommend this game to all PS3 owners and if you havn’t already purchsed it, now’s your chance to get a great game.

I dont have a long, lengthy review, but i would like to say that resistance’s multiplayer (still tons of people online) and campaign (amazing) equal the single greatest game that i have ever played. 10/10

Rating

I feel a bit bad for Insomniac, as Resistance: Fall of Man has had unrealistic expectations placed on it. As the PS3 launch title which actually had some buzz around it, it has fallen on Resistance to prop up the PS3′s launch lineup when other launch titles garnered reviews ranging from decently entertaining (Ridge Racer 7) to horrific (Mobile Suit Gundam). It’s also hard not to note the difficulty of living up to a certain other first person shooter which happened to be a launch title: Halo. In many ways, Resistance borrows from that title, and several others, most notably Call of Duty 2 and Half-Life 2. In a nutshell, Resistance: Fall of Man is an FPS which takes place in an alternate version of the 1950s, where World War 2 never happened. Instead, the world is under siege by the Chimera, a monstrous collective of creatures which may be either mutants or aliens. As an American soldier brought overseas, your mission is to help the British fight off the Chimera. Things take an unforseen turn, however, and relatively early on, you obtain the ability to regenerate health to a small degree.

Less unexpected is Insomniac’s love of off-the-wall weaponry, and you’ll find that here, although in smaller and tamer doses than their hallmark Ratchet & Clank series. While you’ll get your stock machine gun/grenade launcher combo from the start, there’ll be a number of other weapons you’ll pick up, including the Chimeran standard issue Bullseye, which allows you to “tag” an enemy and have the bullets home in on the tag, the sniper rifle, which has a time “slow down” function, an organic mine-layer which spews explosive sacs, a rocket launcher with homing capability, and the auger, which fires energy bolts that can burrow through walls, and can also generate energy shields. There are also several types of grenades, including the always fun and fiery air-fuel grenade. If you finish the game, more weapons and a new difficulty level are unlocked for a subsequent playthrough. The weapons are what really set this game apart. The tactics they inspire will make for some heated battles. The controls are decent and better than Sony’s last generation as far as FPS responsiveness, although I still prefer Microsoft’s control sticks for this kind of game. Enemy AI, while sometimes buggy or simple, is fairly adequate enough of the time. The game can also be played in co-op mode, which is certainly better than a kick in the teeth.

The good news is that, provided you don’t play the game on easy, Resistance is a long enough game to keep you occupied for a bit. The bad news, however, is that the game can get oddly repetitive, thanks in part to the environments. You get a basic handful of motifs: war-torn urban battlefields, British military installations, underground tunnels, and alien-looking Chimeran strongholds. To be sure, there are a few areas that buck the trend, such as the relatively open spaces of Cheddar Gorge, or the frozen surface of the Thames River, but a pattern does start to set in. To break things up, Insomniac threw in a few vehicular sequences (where you drive a tank, jeep, or Chimeran walker), but they don’t pop up very often. The basic gun-play is still very solid, though, and use of the motion-sensing SixAxis controller to shake off enemies who grab you is a nice touch. For multiplayer fans, there are a fair number of game types, and a high potential player count. Sadly, as is the case with too many games nowadays, there are no bots available for practice.

Graphically speaking, the game is pretty nice, if somewhat underwhelming. The framerate is rock solid, especially considering the amount of activity going on, and despite what a few Sony-haters may claim, this game is more than just “slightly better looking” than a PS2 game. Textures are decent, there are the requisite shiny surfaces, and the draw distance is pretty damn good. Compared to Gears of War, however, it comes off as a bit blocky and plain in design and detail. Inspiration is clearly drawn from Call of Duty 2′s urban areas, Half-Life 2′s City 17 and the associated Combine metallic block installations, and Prey’s sleek alien technology. The lighting doesn’t stand out, but is used effectively enough in conjuction with a muted color palette and the usual atmospheric touches (different times of day in different areas, or the use of snowy weather later in the game). The Chimera are nicely (if gruesomely) rendered, and there are a few of them that are almost alarming in appearance. The sound effects and voice chatter are pretty good, but the music (which helped make Halo as unique as it was) is somewhat underwhelming.

To put it simply, Resistance: Fall of Man is what one would expect from a launch game which was rushed, but created by a dedicated and very capable developer that refused to put out a sub-par product: somewhat unoriginal, yet consistently entertaining. There is clearly room for franchise growth, and Insomniac has already announced that a sequel will be forthcoming. While not a stranger to FPS games, Insomniac hasn’t visited the genre in years, which makes the results all the more impressive (considering how archaic the game could have played). If you have a PS3, you really should have this game in your collection, as the higher difficulty levels provide a challenge for hardcore gamers that approaches Halo’s “Legendary” difficulty mode. While not as inspired as the titles which it borrows from, or Insomniac’s first three Ratchet & Clank games, Resistance still excels as a member of the higher echelon of console FPS games, even if it can’t carve out a niche among the very best of the best.

This was a great game. Loved it. The coop is really fun and the story overall is unique.

As a launch title for the PS3, you can tell that Resistance:Fall of Man didn’t quite harness the full potential of the PS3. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t visually appealing. The gameplay is your standard First Person Shooter, but that doesn’t detract from the fun value. The campaing mode will take you about 8 hours and is very engaging, with different and varied locales. There are also a wide range of weapons that can certainly change the tide of battle. Playing the single player campaign with a friend is fun, and the online multiplayer is vast and the most fun I’ve had online ever. I recommend Resistance: Fall of Man to anyone with an itchy trigger finger and a Playstation 3

Rating

I am a new gamer. My first game was Resistance – I loved it. I am looking for a recommendation for a first person shooter game, or a zombie killing game, that may actually be better than Resistance. I don’t know if that is possible. I tried Metal Gear Solid 4 and it bored me to death. I know it great and all but I thought it was too slow. I would like to hear what you think.

This is THE best PS3 game so far. Much better than GTA4 and after playing MGS4 for 3 hours I think RFOM is much better than that too. RFOM game rooms online are still packed! It’s June 2008 and this game has been out a long time and is STILLso much fun that yes, tons of people are still online! It’s that fun!!! Anyone that doesn’t own this game is missing out!!!!!

Maybe Resident Evil 5 will be better but nothing else is so far!

This game has been out a while. If you’re worried you’ve missed the boat, don’t. This game has great single player, and a pretty good multi-player which a lot of people still play.

Expect to be late for work if you play this in the morning.

Rating

Nothing really new here, but the funnest first person shooter since BLACK. The controls run so smoothly you don’t even have to worry; they come as 2nd nature after a little while. The game(single player mode)reminds me of a sci-fi-ish Call of Duty, where most of the enemies look like Eddie from an Iron Maiden album cover. The graphics are very detailed; There are some truly crazy battle parts, a nice weapons variety, and some cool vehicle stuff(and I usually hate it when they put those into a FPS). And while I have seen most of what was in here before, it’s hard to fault a game when they do it so well. Can’t wait to see what the new Killzone is like…

Rating

Regardless of what some say, the graphics ARE amazing! I was and still am blown away by the PS3′s capabilities. Resistance: Fall Of Man is a great creepy 1st person shooter that has great gameplay, excellent music, and amazing graphics. You can’t go wrong, a must purchase for PS3 owners.

Rating

graphically, the game is awesome but only in certain portions of the game. say for instance when you’re going through where they make chimera out of humans. but that’s really all about time spent by the graphics guys to put the effort into creating detailed levels. game play, storyline, how the game keeps wanting to play are excellent. best 1st person shooter for ps3 so far.

Rating

I’m sure like a lot of people this was one of the first games I bought for my PS3. I’m not a fan of first person shooters. I prefer 3rd person action games like Jedi Outcast for the pc. But FP shooters seem to be the only thing being made these days so I gave in and gave this a try.

I’m sure everything’s been said already about this game as far as graphics go so I’ll just agree that they’re awesome. Game play is smooth also. Frame rate is superb, no slow down. I’m only about half way through my first time through the game and it’s very addictive. Lots of weapons and enemies to unload them on. I’ll agree with one reviewer that some of the enemies will creep you out. For me it’s those Grey Jacks and the Leapers (think face huggers from Aliens), ugh I hate those things. There may be worse in store for me but for now they can’t die fast enough.

I read an article that there will be a Resistance 2. In the off chance the developers read these reviews I’ll list my only gripe which is more blood and guts. I want heads and limbs blown off with “Kill Bill” style blood squirts. If I run up on an enemy and give him both barrels of a shotgun I want the beast to do more than just keel over, I want a huge sucking chest wound with entrails everywhere. OK I’ll pull my horns back in now but I know I’m not the only video game gore hound out there.

Even without the extreme gore the game is still lots of fun and I’ve already started replaying certain favorite levels. This game is definitely a must have. Remember developers…. pour on the blood in RFOM 2.

Rating

I know everyone says this game is HL2 meets COD but thats only the single player. The single player is a great alternate reality story that will pull you in forcing you to play till the end. The online experience of Sony PSN network and servers hosted by Insomniac make a lag free frag feast of epic proportions. The Online takes weapons that nearly match the insane fun of Unreal Tournament weapons, wrapped with UT04 style gameplay, with COD like soldiers and UT04 style aliens.

Rating

What can I say, the game lives up to the hype and is extremely fun. The AI is intelligently clever, the story is cool, the levels seem to go on forever, and the graphics are fantastic on an HD screen. Online multiplayer with PS3 is seamless, no lag whatsoever. A PS3 game collection must have. I can’t wait to play the next version.

Rating

This game doesn’t really have anything that I haven’t already seen, and I think the gameplay has pretty much the same ‘feel’ as Halo (which really isn’t a bad thing). But the graphics are great (although it only goes up to 720p), the weapons are interesting, the controls are very easy to learn (even though I am used to FPS games on the PC), and the campaign is fun, especially playing with a buddy in co-op. Online multiplayer isn’t bad either. I believe the only downsides are that the end of the campaign is a little disappointing and overall the storyline becomes boring and predictable even though it seems somewhat interesting and original at first, and there is no in-game option to change from vertical to horizontal split screen (it seems that you’re stuck with vertical on an HDTV).

However, it turns out that even though this game doesn’t really bring anything new and has a couple of things that annoy me, it’s still a very fun game overall and a great title to own if you already have a PS3.

Rating

Resistance Fall of Man is probably one of the most amazing action/sci fi/horror games to date. Its unique yet somewhat dissapointing story brings an edge to gameplay. Controls are moderately easy and clean. Graphics are better that ps1 and a little better yet very close to ps2. Levels are somewhat limited but extremely fun. The action is endless and altogether it comes out as beautiful and vivid masterpiece.

I ordered my PS3 with Oblivion. Unfortunately, the PS3 came a couple days before Oblivion did… so I needed something to play with. I heard a lot of noise about how great this game was, and since it was a greatest hits, I picked it up from the local Target for about $40. Normally, I don’t play FPS games due to lack of skill. This one caught my attention immediately, however! Once you get through the first part of the game, it gets a little easier. It’s fast paced and has a wonderful story. I really recommend this title to anyone that owns a PS3! I’m even planning to buy the sequel!

I was looking for games to play on my PS3 with my gf. I was surprised how few are out there to do this. After a great deal of internet searching this was one of the four I found. This game was rated highest and was said to be easy so we started with this one. We both had a lot of fun.

The game is not as good as other shooters I have played. The graphics and the story were not great. It is the split-screen co-op offline campaign mode that makes the game.

The other three games (purchased but yet to be played are (in the following order):

- Army of Two (easy)

- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (hard)

- Resident Evil 5 (hard)

Ok…… I’ll be honest. I am NOT an FPS fan. In fact to be honest, I have played only a handful of FPS games (Bioshock, Doom 3, Bad Company,) and several demos for other FPS games.

That being said……..BUY THIS GAME!

I will spare you a huge description of plot, Lord knows there are plenty other reviews out there which go in to it. But I will say it is the plot that truly draws you in and goes for the jugular at first with a bit of mystery then erupts in to a full-out action story. With casual gaming I beat this game about 4 days. Not to say the game is small, but when I did sit down I was going through two or three or more missions at a sitting. And now I have upped the difficulty and going at it again.

The weapons are mostly typical from many FPS games out there with one or two really fun weapons to use……the Auger comes to mind. There are also additional weapons for you to use once you beat the game for your other run throughs.

THe multiplay, at least offline, seems rather cookie cutter of other offline multiplays with other FPS games. This is not to say it’s not fun. It is, and a nice touch is the customizable map size. Although for me, I like the large maps to make it less a brawl and more a game of cat and mouse.

In short, if you like FPS games, I have a feeling this game is for you. If you don’t like FPS games, at least rent it. But at this price………buy it. I have gotten a lot less out of 20 bucks……..a lot less out of 50 now that I think of it. This game has redefined what I have come to expect from FPS games and may very well open the door to me buying others…….specifically Resistance 2.

Resistance – Fall of Man is a first person shooter that combines World War II era environments with Doom-like horrific enemies to fight. It also offers great online multiplayer gameplay.

The plot is that, around the time of World War II, enemies attacked the world, starting with Russia and moving westward through Europe and England. In the 50s, the US launched a counter-attack, landing in England. You’re fighting, at least to start with, with WWII era weapons and outfits through the streets of England.

Let’s start with the graphics. The game goes for a very Call of Duty style of look – not quite realistic, more “cartooney” or stylized. Textures are smoothed out, some objects are simplified. That’s not to say this is a Disney kiddie look. The monsters are grimey and nasty looking, the war-torn streets are very gritty. If anything, because this is set in a WWII type atmosphere, much of the game is brown, grimy and shell-shocked.

The HUD is reasonably well done and not intrusive. A small series of bars on the left indicates your health. An equally small but useful display on the right tracks your ammo, magazines and grenades.

The sound leans towards epic thundering scores, a la Gladiator or Conan. Players who love heavy rock music might not enjoy this, but I actually love this kind of music. I own both of the soundtracks I mentioned . So to me, this really draws you into the atmosphere. The yells, gun noises and so on seem relatively realistic to help you feel you’re really in the middle of a fight. I also like that, during gameplay, it’s usually done without music. If I’m trying to sneak somewhere and listen for enemy movement, I don’t want that objective made difficult by a soundtrack.

Gameplay itself is typical FPS fare. You can crouch, jump over things, zoom in on your enemy, throw grenades, strafe, and so on. Your friends and enemies are rather good about taking cover and not just rushing an enemy head-on. There are a few situations which seem quite scripted – if your pals are meant to die, you could play perfectly and take out every enemy quickly and your friends will still be killed by mysterious off-screen snipers. Still, the game needs to keep you on course for the plot so this is to be expected.

Checkpointing is reasonably good, although sometimes it sends you further back then you might like to start again. Healing is done via canisters you find, but depending on your skill you might wish there were more canisters scattered around . That’s why they have 3 levels of difficulty here.

The interactivity with your environment is pretty impressive. Say your enemy is hiding behind a car. You can shoot out the car’s windows and then shoot the enemy through the open space. Or you can shoot the car to damage it, and have it explode a la the infamous ‘red exploding barrels’ found in most shooting games. If you shoot at a window a few times, it will first crack, then pieces will fall out.

Not only is the game great in single player mode, but you can play co-op with a friend at your home, or online in larger groups with friends or strangers from around the world. This helps turn the game from a play-for-a-few-months-at-home style game to a play-eternally-with-friends-online game.

Well recommended!

Everything about this game is great, the gameplay, graphics, controls, story. I suggest not skipping this for Resistance 2… this can be considered a better game, and it’s cheaper!

There is a lot of variety in the guns and the landscapes, and the enemies have mild variety. It’s a very good shooter.

Rating

JAFPS? (Just Another First Person Shooter) NO! Not this game!

The gameplay is always smooth, the aiming precise, and the enemies are no slouch. There is no slowdown or choppiness even when the screen is full of enemies, explosions, and vehicles. This is true when online as well.

There are lots of checkpoints spread through each level, and the pacing gives you time to breathe, and save often. You will need the frequent pauses- because while some of the levels may seem short, they are very intense. One example: in one area the only task between saves is to take out an enemy tank. The problem is that you are all alone, and the enemy tank is about the biggest enemy you’ve seen in the game so far! Brilliant!

If you get tired of killing waves of enemies, you can try to unlock all the extras in the game. These range from developer vids, to concept art, to skins for your online avatar. Try to find all the Skill Points in the game (fun little tasks that are hinted at by the name of each) to unlock everything.

Finally theres the online play, which is excellent. International play has been recently added as a free upgrade, and it works well. I’m in the USA, and hearing a room full of British accents trying to find that camped sniper never gets old!

If you have been shopping for a PS3 at all, you have already read about Resistance and how good it is. I’ll tell you all the Resistance love isn’t hype, it’s true. Resistance: Fall of Man isn’t just a launch classic, it’s an instant classic.

When I first saw this game in 2005, I thought it would be a load of garbage. Well a year has passed and I have really changed my mind about this game. The graphics are gorgeous, The sound is great, and the online modes are near perfect. My favorite game for my playstation collection.

This game was better than expected and I try to pick games apart because I always think they can be better. Although I do have a few issues, over all I thought this game was one of the most fun and surprising games I have played in a long while!

This is a great game mixing three of the greatest games of all time; Halo, Doom 3, and Medal of Honor. It looks great like all three, it feels sooo smooth, and it is up to 40 player multiplayer online! It takes Halo’s grenade options (at least 4), Halo’s “infested” bad guys who want to infest you, and Halo’s melee attacks. It looks like Medeal of Honor even down to the way you zoom in with vintage weapons! It throws in the Doom 3 monsters looking extremely freaky and often quite horrific. With all these great games in one what more could you ask for, well, unique alien weapons, controlable tanks, immersive environments, enemies you must litirally shake off (shake the controller), also interactive environments such as fire you must shake off (again the controller), and soo much more it really is quite easy to go on but now I must go play it. Oh and it is the best but don’t pay $88 for it when you can pay just $60.

im very happy with this game, if you own a ps3 this is a must have! it set in wwII times and the alien story is very interesting. there are close up shots of people getting infected with the aliens and they are creepy real looking. the weapons are cool. you dont really get the unique/original weopons until your second playthrough, but the original weapon set includes all of the essentials, so they are lots of fun. story is great in my opinion and the enemies are fairly intellegent when you progress to superhuman difficulty. I have also spent tons of hours online, which has great team games and solo competition. online you can earn medals for certain feats of greatness. sooooo buy it and enjoy

Resistance was one of my first PS3 games and I still enjoy playing. It has a large story mode so you don’t start it and finish it the next day. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes FPS

This is the best FPS I have ever played. The single player campaign is incredible. Online multiplayer is great. I much prefer this over Halo 3 but to each his own. If you own a PS3 you simply MUST buy this game.

My Setup:

PS3 60GB hooked up via HDMI to Samsung 40″ LCD 1080p HDTV and Panasonic 5.1 surround sound speaker system

My Ratings (1=garbage, 10=perfection):

Gameplay – 8/10

Storyline – 7/10

Replay Value – 7/10

Multiplayer – 7/10

Graphics – 8/10

Sound – 8/10

Overall – 8/10

The Storyline:

The game is set around 1950 and has a certain World War 2 feel to it. But, in the game world, WW2 never happened. Instead, a virus had originated in Russia causing those infected to change into war-hungry mutants, apparently bent on world domination. The Chimera stayed isolated within Russia for over a decade, supposedly building up numbers and developing their superior technology. Then, after a decade of silence, they attacked. The Chimera swept across the European continent, leaving no one alive; infecting those they did not kill. The only remaining human resistance forces are trying to regain some ground in England. The Americas had actually been somehow unaffected by all of this and are just now joining the fray to help out their British allies. You are Nathan Hale, a U.S. sergeant, and you will help to turn the tide. The game does a good job of keeping you in the storyline by having lots of cutscenes mixed in between levels. The cutscenes are frequent, but are well spaced out, and are short enough not to keep you from the action for long.

Gameplay:

The game looks and feels like a blend of Call of Duty 2/3 and Half-Life 2. The PS3 controls are very responsive and don’t take long at all to get used to. By the end of the first mission, you should have all of the controls down and be ready to tackle the rest of the game’s action. This shooter combines massive battle elements (where you’re a part of a squad fighting through waves of enemies in a massive battle), more traditional shooter elements (where you corridor crawl toward a set destination and take out any enemies in your path), and a few other elements which have become standard for all successful shooters (vehicles, etc.). However, the game creates a well rounded combination of each, creating an enjoyable experience rather than improvised annoyance. While there is no purely original content (besides the different storyline), the game successfully delivers more of what you love about shooters.

Enemies and Weapons:

Insomniac has given the game a mix of traditional weapons (ie. machine gun, shotgun, sniper ripple) and new, creative weapons of their own (ie. a gun that can shoot through walls, a gun that has homing bullets). You’ll find yourself using all of these weapons at certain times as you battle through the game, since they all serve a unique purpose and are not just there for the cool factor. The enemies in Resistance: Fall of Man are fierce looking and they put up a good fight. The AI is good – enemies take cover, flank, and work together to try to take you out. The difficulty settings are configured quite well, so that a casual player will be able to progress and enjoy the game just as much as a hardcore player.

Graphics and Sound:

The game is rendered at 720p resolution, and even if you run the game on the best HDTV, you won’t find anything better than what you may have seen on a PCs or an XBOX360 so far. That being said, the graphics are not sub-par either. While many will claim that the game looks no different graphically than Call of Duty 3 for the XBOX360, if you look carefully you can see some distinguishing elements, albeit few. The sound is quite good and plays a role in making you feel like you’re in the game. And if you have a surround speaker system hooked up, you’ll get a good kick from the sounds coming from the sides and behind you, which will make you turn your head at times while you’re playing.

Multiplayer:

I’d say the multiplayer is at par with anything else out there. The developers even threw in some new modes for you and your friends to play around with. Online gameplay definitely adds to the replay value of the game and if you’re looking for this game for the multiplayer angle, you won’t be disappointed. If you like co-op gameplay as I do, this game has it. You can play through the game split-screen with a friend.

Overall:

I would definitely recommend this game, as would many people that have played it. It is undoubtedly the best game out of the PS3 launch titles, and it will probably keep that standing well into spring 2007.

This is a really fun game, and playing online is fun. It is sweet how you can blow aliens heads off. I think by the end of the P$3′s lifetime, this would become one of the classics along with R2(sequel), MGS4,GTA4,and Gran turismo 5

Amazon got the game on time i’m very pleased, i previously played the game from a friend i like to play online. thanks Amazon I’ve recomended you to everybody i know. Till my next purchase. JP.

Resistance combines an above average single player campaign with a fantastic online multiplayer experience. The single player campaign is good enough that you will want to play it, but the online MP is where you will get hooked. With up to 40 players per game, you will be hard pressed to find a game that lags. The matchmaking will find your game quickly and effeciently. As you progress your stats are recorded, and you earn medals, skins, ect.

There is so much replay value in this game that if you own a PS3 you shouldn’t even be reading this user review. You should have already bought it by now. Also, keep an eye out for Ratchet and Clank: Future by the same company this fall.

This is definately one of the better games i have played on the PS3, I recommend this game as one of my 5 top games. It’s set up like a typical first person shooter and the gameplay is intense. Definately try it out!

I’ve played nearly every major FPS game over the last 20 years and I thought I could no longer be amazed, but this game has done it. It’s nearly perfect on every level – graphically, gameplay, sound and storyline. It’s positively scary at times (I didn’t think I could be frightened by a game any more) and deeply engrossing. Plus you get free online multiplayer for your ps3. The weapons are great, and you even get new, secret weapons on your second time through the game as a reward for completion. And when you crank up the settings the enemies hide in new spots that were empty the prior time through.

Resistance was the first FPS that I purchased for the PS3 and it was a great way to start the generation. This game was an amazing ride that left me begging for more. The story is so well written, and the action complements it so well. The graphics are also pretty good. They are not amazing, but the grim green color of the game sort of hurts the graphics, but adds to the overall presentation of the game. The voice overs are spooky and mysterious. They really make you feel like you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. This game also had great full campaign co op offline. This was a great touch that added the replayability to the title. This title should not be missed by anyone who loves the FPS genre; the sequel is a different story.

Presentation- The menus and overall feel of the game is gloomy and gritty. This helps put the player into the fight as the human race fights to survive against the Chimera. They do however hurt the graphics; they should have been a bit brighter in places. The cut scenes are also well done as well as the music and sound effects. 4.5/5

Graphics- As I said above the grittiness of the game hurt the overall feel of the graphics. They could have been better, but they did look good in cut scenes where the grittiness was not as prevalent. 4/5

Story- The story is where Resistance really shines. The voice overs are an excellent way to narrate Hale’s journey. The characters are woven into the campaign very seamlessly and you connect to each one. There is a great deal of mystery that adds to the fun of the campaign. Finding out what happened or will happen to Hale was a great adventure. 5/5

Game Play- The use of different rings to hold your weapons is ingenious. I love to hold all of the weapons in the game, and harder difficulties give you more weapons. The only gripe I have is that the enemies seem to take a few too many hits. They should be dead after a few headshots. 4.5/5

Lasting Appeal- This game is a treasure. The only sad part is that the sequel was so disappointing, that sort of hurt this game, and the franchise. I have beaten it five times. This game has a great replay value. I recommend this title however, I don’t recommend the sequel. 5/5

Overall 4.6/5

For starters how did this game not gain a cult following? Great game on my 61′ 1080P TV. I love my PS3 and I love that everything works in HD with it. This is a great game to sample it’s wares. Much better launch title than even Halo 1 was for the XBox. Halo series seems like a faint memory to me now.

Rating

Admittedly, I’m a newbie on FPS games for consoles. I’ve been mostly playing on PCs. However, I was very impressed by this game in general, but most specifically for playing with a friend on a widescreen projector with surround sound.

I’ve tried playing with a friend on Halo and a Gears of War (for Xbox) and REALLY dislike the way they split the screen. This game splits the game vertically and most others split the game horizontally. On a widescreen, you end up with two very wide and low games. Almost unplayable. This game gives you 2 quite reasonable almost square screens.

The atmospheric effects are very nice in surround sound (although I can’t say I’ve played enough with other games to compare).

Basically, if you’re playing with 2 players simultaneously, this is a better game than other console FPS if for no other reason than how the screen is laid out. It gave me one of my better gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

Rating

I hated playing FPSs on consoles, because I was used to PC controls (I tried MoH and a few others that I don’t even remember the name of). I bought this because it’s early in PS3′s life and there aren’t a lot of highly rated games yet.

Coming from many years of FPS on a PC, I was really surprised how little time it took me to get used to the controls. They are fluid and precise.

Another thing I loved is the style of graphics, not just the detail, but the feel of the environment. I think this is what sets it apart from all other FPS games.

Another thing I really like about this is that there’s no single weapon that you can use to get through the whole game. You need to constantly change weapons based on the situation your in. Shotgun is a must in close combat, while your basic M Carbine is still most effective in outdoor battles. Also, (and this might just be a coincidence) it seems like the game PUSHES you to use different weapons. If I use the same rifle for too long, the ammunition for it becomes more difficult to find, but you come across plenty of ammo for your other weapons. Switch to one of them and suddenly you find ammo for the one you just ran out of. Maybe that’s just me, but maybe it’s a pretty clever design feature.

This game finally sparked my interest in FPS on consoles, I can’t wait for a sequel and the game hints there may be one.

Rating

It’s worth noting I’m limited on my game time, balancing work and family life… But comparing this to other shooter games out there, this stands out to me as one of the best.

Graphics are smooth flowing, fine sound effects, and – some enemy combatants that make your skin crawl a little as you move about in different environments.

Replay-ability hasn’t been an issue for me yet, but there are different levels of difficulty (as is typical)… And on-line play to jump into as well. (And, you can hang out with a few of your crew and just hunt each other down if you like ).

My enjoyment may be slightly tainted by the 60-inch HD 1080p experience (i.e. adding to certain elements)… But it’s still ranks as one of the best out there for me.

- I’d take this over Halo, np.

Rating

I never got into FPS games. I remember when Doom was the big thing back in the early 90′s but I wasn’t interested. I started getting interested in a FPS game because of all the hype about Halo. Still, I bought my PS3 to get a cheaper Blu-ray player that just happens to play my PS2 games (at least that’s what I told my wife . I decided to try Resistance as my first FPS and I am blown away and amazed at how much I enjoy it!!! I hear there are other games out there that are better (GOW and Halo, etc). I will have to see for myself when the time comes (when does Halo 3 come out?). I plan on buying a 360 sometime next year.

In any case, Resistance is great. The graphics are awesome even though some reviews say they are so, so. I don’t what they’re looking at, but I am playing Resistance on a Sony 60″ 1080P Rear Projection TV. My set upconverts to 1080p from 720p and I can honestly say, the graphics on this game are awesome! A lot of review state GOW is better but “technically” speaking I doubt that they are. It may be that the GOW graphics are more pleasing to that particular reviewer.

As for playability, for a novice like me, I think the game-play is very good. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but then I don’t play FPS games normally. Resistance is definitely a lot of fun to play. The one thing about the game that I’m not sure that I like is that you are pretty much herded into the direction you need to go and sometimes there is only one way to go. From a tactical standpoint, that sucks. Kind of hard to flank the enemy if you can only take them head on.

I have owned Resistance for 72 hours and spent at least 12 of them playing it. That may not be a lot to some gamers, but for me those 12 hours are more than I played all of last year. It’s tough being husband and father of 2 kids!

******Update******09/07

It’s 5 months later and I’m still playing Resistance! This game is awesome! I finally got the nerve to play online (I was worried since I’m a noob). The online game-play is free, unlike XBox live. There is usually no lag when playing (unless someone is cheating). The online rooms are vary between 8, 16, 32 or 40 players and there are Ranked and Un-Ranked match-play. In Ranked, there are free-for-alls and team matches. Free-for-alls come in 2 types: Death Match and Conversion. in Death Match, you can play as human or Chimera but you don’t get to choose (The room is chosen for you and all players are the same, either human or Chimera). In Conversion, you get 6 lives and the first 5 are human. Team Play comes in more flavors: Death Match, Capture the Flag, and others (I generally don’t play team matches). In Un-ranked, you can make up custom games to suit your needs (player limits, weapons-used, infinite ammo, etc.)

******Update******01/08

I haven’t played Resistance as much now that Call of Duty 4 has come out. I am also playing WSOP: Battle for the Bracelets as a change of pace from shooting games.

Resistance still has a lot of replay value for me and it has been almost a year since I bought it. I don’t play this game online anymore because the controls are different from COD 4 but I still play the campaign every now and then for a change of pace. I still love playing the game but I’m so used to playing Call of Duty 4 that I find myself pressing the wrong button for certain functions. This is why I don’t play online anymore because I get killed while I’m pressing the wrong button! When I press the wrong button during the campaign, it’s more forgiving (even in Superhuman mode). I don’t know what I’m going to do when Resistance 2 comes out if they use the smae controls scheme!

Rating

This is the second first personal shooting game I have so far. The first one was call of duty in ps2. I would say that Resistance is better than call of duty in a way that 4 friends can play together use one console. The online games are great, playing with real people is a fun thing. Online game is the most interesting part of Resistance.

Though 720p is good, I think it is still the drawback for this game because every owners of ps3 want 1080p!

i thought this game was just amazing with its amazing graphics and storyline that make this game better than any other war game on the market

both races were fun 2 play on, u have almost 12 weapons and over 20 ways to kill ure opponents

this game was great and u will not be disappointed

Have Fun

But it does become a game that makes u wanna go insane towards the end

Everybody else has already said enough about this game, and most of its true and backs my review. This is one of the best shooters out there, but the storyline isn’t that great and the narrator is annoying. Multiplayer is awesome with 40 people online, it’s insane. Graphics are polished, but definitely not the best they could be. If you have a ps3, get this now!

I have been playing this game for 6 hours and it is awesome. Great Graphics, Excellent level desigh. The perfect game on your PS3.

My kid got a PS3 that’s been sitting idle. We got it to replace a Wii that we sold, that was also sitting idle.

I talked him in to letting me move it into my media room so that it might get some play–in Hi Def, no less. So he did.

Resistance has always been a game that looked interesting. I’d played the demo and didn’t quite get it, but at $29.00 I couldn’t pass it up.

I will say it’s a fun game. Lots of guns, fast paced action. Lots of enemies on screen at one time. The look has been criticized for being too “sepia toned” but I thought it was OK. It is NOT a showcase for the graphical power of the PS3–thing more Call of Duty 2 on the 360, which was also a launch title. This does not leave the same impression that, say Gears of War did with me. But Gears wasn’t a launch title.

I haven’t played multiplayer yet but the single player is lengthy and I must say I’m moderately interested in the story. Nathan Hale–is he going to turn? I can’t wait to find out.

I don’t think game is worth 60 bucks–not at this point. But it is a solid buyat $30 bucks–and it’s available only for the PS3, which, in my estimation, is sorely lacking in quality shooter exclusives. So this ranks as a “must buy” at 30 bucks for PS3 owners. And it’s enough to make me think Resistance 2 will be insane.

This franchise–and not the cut-scene heavy Metal Gear Solid, is what the PS3 needs.

Rating

I purchased this game when it first came out after reading some reviews about it. All I can say is I’m glad I bought it.

The gameplay is great….Although can be challenging at times, try playing in superhuman mode Unlocked after beating game in hard mode.

Graphics are not super detailed but are on par with most next gen games.

Rating

It’s a sad thing, but I must to say it: This is the only good game in PS3 until now. The weapon system is very fun, the nail grenades are one of the funniest weapons in the game. The environmental is awesome. The non-vibrating control is a shame, but the game design, weapon system and playability is so fun that you don’t feel this absense.

You won’t find any new in this game, but it has all that you want in a FPS game. The multiplayer system is the best thing of the game.

Rating

I didn’t expect much from Resistance but it blew me away. Fast, chaotic action and lots of innovative weapons. The levels are very well designed, pacing, objectives, everything fits together masterfully and every time I finished a level I thought to myself “2 minutes int eh new one, just to give it a try” and ended up completing it… then another, and another. Amazing game.

Rating

I bought this game recently, and even if it is one of the first games to hit the PS3, it’s one of the better looking, most entertaining games on the I own right now. I got so hooked up on it I had to pre-order Resistance 2. A must buy! ! !

I am a grey haired chap who is rapidly approaching his sell by date. Over the years I have played many FPS on just about every platform that there is and I have to tell you that between 1993 and 2007 only two games have caused me fight fatigue and soldier on into the night to get to the next level. One was the original 1993 Doom and the other is R:FoM.

The strange thing is that there is nothing in particular that you can single out as being particularly unique about R:FoM but taken as a whole it just works, you really do want to get to the end of this street, you know that the elevator will deliver you to a world of pain and that over this rooftop lies madness. But what the hey it’s fun…

Overall good game play and story line that just begs you to finish…Highly recommended….

On November 17th the minority of those purchasing a PlayStation 3 for their own gaming experiences and not for profitable online auctioning had the chance to play one of the best first-person shooters in years. During my splendid time with this video game I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to other games, as Resistance has a lot in common with great games like Halo, Half-Life, Call of Duty, and even Gears Of War. It takes some of the best aspects from each of these games and molds an experience that shouldn’t be missed by PlayStation 3 owners or shooter fans. Insomniac’s Resistance: Fall of Man might be the only worthy exclusive PlayStation 3 game for quite some time, and if you’re sporting a PlayStation 3 in your home, Resistance should be spinning inside of it Viva la Resistance

Resistance’s storyline is set in an alternate reality. It’s the 1950′s, but not the hip-thrusting Elvis Presley days that demonized generations to come. World War II never took place, and terrorizing the eastern world in place of Adolf Hitler and his fellow Nazis is a terrifying race of aliens known as the Chimera. The Chimera have all but seized Asia and most of Europe. The only hope for humankind seems to be in the trigger finger of the U.S. Army’s Nathan Hale, a brutish but speechless soldier who instead lets his guns do the talking. Unfortunately, none of the game’s characters are developed much more than what was just explained. With a few spoilers avoided, it should be said that you probably shouldn’t be playing Resistance for a gripping storyline. No, you should instead be playing it for the thrilling ride that you haven’t felt since Halo.

Resistance’s 30 levels are among the most intense and entertaining in a virtual form. As Hale you’ll fight endless amounts of Chimera forces in war-torn cities, wet and twisty Chimera caves, and large, vegetated European fields. There are more than eight weapons to take out the multiple kinds of Chimera located in each level. Truth be told, those latter two factors are what make Resistance worth your holiday cash. Resistance: Fall of Man’s armory isn’t equipped with a single pea-shooting pistol; in fact, all eight of the weapons you’ll find in your first play-through are extremely useful at several points through out the game, if not throughout. They all also feature a secondary fire mode. You’ll start the game with the always-trusty M5A2 Carbine rifle, which has plenty of range to take out enemies from afar as well as a grenade launcher attached to take out small groups of pesky Chimera. You’ll find the Bullseye, which allows you to shoot around corners and from behind cover at exposed enemies. Then there’s the Rossmore 236, a shotgun with a double-power, double-shot blast that sends anything pesky to a bloody spot on the floor. The Auger lets you shoot shells through walls, and through each solid barrier the round becomes even more deadly. Even more interesting is the XR-003 Sapper that allows you to plop organic mines throughout a room that can be detonated on enemy contact or with the press of the alternate fire button. It would be unfair to forget mentioning Resistance’s four types of grenades, from the standard but trusty fragmentation grenade to the gruesome, needle-spewing Hedgehog grenade.

The enemies that you’ll kill with Resistance’s arms are almost as entertaining as your tools themselves. The game is benefitted strongly by having A.I. that will outright punish you if you decide to take a rest and wait around behind cover. They’ll flank. They’ll get into better positions. They’ll run from your grenades. They’ll simply pursue you until one party is on the ground, dead as dirt. The standard fodder, the Hybrid, is a common foe throughout the game. Up-close-and-personal pests called Menials will slowly stalk you through corridors, lurching at you and lashing at your helpless character while you shake the SIXAXIS maniacally to shrug off the leeching enemy. Grey Jacks will run at ridiculous speeds to slash at you with their claws. The Flood Parasites from Halo have met their match, Resistance’s Crawlers and Rollers are an equally if not more annoying and pesky foe, as they explode out of nests or crawl seemingly out of nowhere to rush your position and overpower you. Every Chimera foe is fearsome and can take you out if you don’t use good tactics, take advantage of each weapon, and learn to fight well in your environment.

Distractions from the corridor-crawling and room-clearing include several highly-entertaining vehicular sequences. Not since Halo have these action-packed sequences been done so well. Driving jeeps, tanks, and even the Chimera’s own spider-like Stalker robots is simple enough while pressing a single button allows you to jump out of the driver’s seat to man a powerful turret or sit in the passenger’s seat and fire away with your own weapons.

All in all the single-player campaign is a lengthy one; even lengthier than Halo 2 and Gears of War. It’s also made highly replayable by unlockable weapons and even secrets that can be earned by finding “Skill Points.” Skill Points are earned by doing some sort of action throughout the game, and in more cases than that, in a specific level. For example, shortly after finding the game’s L23 Fareye sniper rifle you can earn Skill Points if you shoot the heads of a certain number of Hybrids. If you “corpse hump” 15 dead Hybrids or incinerate an entire group of enemies with the fiery Air-Fuel Grenade, you’ll earn some more. On top of all of this, there’s an entire online multiplayer setup that allows 40 players to play in six different game modes. A cool bonus is that each gamer can choose between human characters or Chimera characters, and each race yields different strengths. The Chimera can enter a short frenzy where they’re more powerful than normal, while humans can sprint away from oncoming enemies and bullets.

The PlayStation 3′s visual capabilities are shown quite well with Resistance: Fall of Man, with its highly-detailed environments, fluid animations, impressive and intricate character models, and well-done cinematic sequences. The deadly Chimera models are alone worth praise, but the only problem is that there seems to be a slight artistic identity crisis; the 1950′s environments and the science fiction Chimera set pieces conflict quite a lot. Still, fiery explosive effects and other particle effects round out a fantastic visual performance that looks nothing less than stunning on any high-definition set. The sound is also well worth mentioning; sound effects rip right out of the speakers while appropriate action- and emotion-based music will fill in as background ambience.

All in all, flaws are few and far between. There were a few frustrating times throughout the campaign where checkpoints seemed too spread out and sometimes there were just a few too many super-annoying Crawlers to kill. Ammo seems to be a very, very rare commodity, while health items aren’t.

Resistance: Fall of Man is as good of a flagship launch title as Sony could ask for. Insomniac has proven itself for a few years with their Ratchet and Clank franchise, and Spyro the Dragon before that. Resistance: Fall of Man shows that the developer also has a talent for first-person shooters, and a keen ability to make a whopping next-generation video game. Resistance: Fall of Man is THE PlayStation 3 game to own.

Resistance is definately one of the better FPS (First Person Shooter) console games to come out, it provides hours of gameplay both in the Campaign mode and online. I definately recommend this to anyone, who enjoys a fast paced FPS.

Rating

This is a great game, well deserving of a sequel. The various weapons have different strengths, which will have to be used to survive the various encounters. I’m finishing hard mode now and can’t wait to get Resistance 2.

Rating

The fact that you can play the campaign alone or split screen with a friend is great for sharing. If you have four controllers you can even play 4-way, split screen deathmatch!

And once the single player campaign gets old there is online multiplayer.

The game is fun and you will get your moneys worth of entertainment.

I just got the PS3 so I didn’t play this game when it first came out. So yes, I was late to the party. But this game is terrific. I am new to console gaming and this is my second FPS. I’d have to say it’s pretty difficult. Luckily, I picked up Call of Duty. It just didn’t grip me like this game, but it didn’t give me a little practice. This game has a great story line, interesting weapons, freaky opponents. Everything about this game is fun. Yes, it’s a little difficult, especially for someone like me. But you can go slowly. In fact, if you try to rush through you’ll probably die. I like that some levels you play alone and some you have some help (although the help isn’t great and it’s pretty frustrating when you have an enemy locked in and they step in front of you). Some of the checkpoints were a little too far apart, in my opinion, but that’s okay. The game is pretty linear, so you can practice on a level until you find the right strategy and the best place to duck for cover. As for the multiplayer…I stink. But there are still a lot of people playing online, which is a testament to this game since it’s so old. Is it for kids? Probably not, but it’s not too bad. I think I’ve only heard one swear word and the gore isn’t too bad (although I’m playing it on SD right now…it might look worse on HD.) I picked this game up for 10 bucks used and say the value is awesome. Buy it…you won’t regret it.

I have to say I have never been a fan of playing FPS games on consoles. When this got down to $20 I figured I would give it a try. It is a fun game to play, and the story is interesting. It was good enough, I am going to get the sequel.

Coop with a friend is a blast, and most of the boss fights are bit easier, even though ammo is a bit short with two players. My big tip when playing with a friend is to remember to say “fire in the hole” whenever you toss a grenade.

Rating

The best part of this game is that its controls are natural. I will play any game, even if it is rated poorly by gaming fanatics in some magazine, if the controls feel natural. In this game, without cumbersome adjustement and compromise, I can shoot and move easily without having to process what button to press and so forth. It’s just natural. As for the game. It’s great. Just don’t be an idiot like me and start on the hard setting. Oops.

So I bought a PS3 a few weeks back (more for its Blu-ray capabilities then anything else) However, im also a “casual gamer” and I was looking for a game to tide me over for a while. Did some reading around the web (including here) and decided to rent this game. I have to tell you, this game is phenomenal!!! it really shows off the capabilities of the PS3 for starters. WARNING: The multi-player mode is VERY addicting!! The multi-player option definitely has a high re-playability factor which makes it worth the price alone. I ended up buying this game with no buyers remorse. Something else id like to mention about the multi-player mode. When you first game online with people, you will realize quickly that it will take a little time to get good. There definitely is a moderate learning curve here. I was Pwned quite a few times LOL. Mostly because I was getting used to the maps and weapons. Dont let that discourage you though. There are always noobs that the experienced like to feed on. Enjoy!!!

Very playable, great controls, camera and story line. Just think Ratchet and Clank – the same folks made this one.

CAUTION – This is an M-Mature game, NO KIDDING, some naughty language and VIOLENT images.

este juego es simplemente lo mejor!! esta muy bien hecho y la trama es muy buena!! viene en casi todos los idiomas!! lo recomiendo!!! no es el que tenga las mejores graficas pero es lo mejor!!!

This is by far, the best game I have ever played on any system before.

I have Warhawk and I can still say that after six months of owning this

game it beats Warhawk anyday. Not to say that Warhawk is a bad game

but RFOM is absolutley amazing. Once you start playing you get hooked

and the Online is in my opinion way better than the Xbox Live for Halo 3

and Xbox live in general. RFOM is just an all around great first person shooter game, that is extremely addicting. The Online gameplay is incredible, there are tons of glitches ( In my opinion they make the game much more interesting and fun). Also, you have a rank and a character that when you play online, every time you increase rank you get a new skin or outfit. Their are buddy lists, clans and everything.

Overall, this is by far the best game I have ever played.

Rating

An incredible game, spent over 35 hours playing before I “won”, the game changes after a win so you can find new weapons, etc. Super graphics at 1080p on a 73″ HDTV. Buy this game if you like a combination of Army games and Aliens (sort of). It’s just spectacular!

Rating

This game has a lot to offer:

Single player, multiplayer, split screen, an interesting storyline, terrific visuals, lots of action, easy to use controls, reasonable checkpoints, a wagon load of weapons, and a smooth game play without buggy glitches or freezing. I wouldn’t recommend renting this one because you might feel compelled to finish the game as quick as you can without experiencing the game for what it is. For what I paid and got out of it RFOM has delivered. I’m not saying RFOM is a game that you need to have, just that the one I own won’t be on craigslist anytime soon.

Rating

First person shooter all the way. Nice graphics is all that holds this game from being last Gen.

Rating

Nice balance for a first person shooter!! Really cool storyline, inmersive and nicely balanced with all the chaos form the chimera!!! At first, for all the casual gamers, the controls take time getting used to but never the less is an exponential curve and in no time its the least of your problems when surrounded by 10-15 hybrids all shooting merciless on you!!! Play the game’s storyline and really enjoy!!! Call a friend and enjoy one of the strongest co-op storyline games I have ever seen (trust me, after playing from Perfect Dark to James Bond to Timeslpitters to Metroid its A REAL DEAL!)

And playing online is madness, sweet, chaos and everything else as it is enjoyable but mayhem is awesome!!! Playing with other 39 players(!!!) is just pure craziness in a very satisfying and incredible way!!!

You’ll probably notice a very normal and strong urge to skip this installment of the Resistance games and opt for the experience of part 2 of Resistance. After all, the 2nd has to be better than the 1st right? Wrong. Resistance 2 is a great game; as I’m sure part 3 will eventually be as well. But this is the one you need to play. There may be more color and weapons variety in Resistance 2, but the gameplay here is solid from beginning to end. This is the game you will lose sleep to keep playing. But sleep is overrated. So the sooner you start playing the better. Which is why I recommend you purchase this game immediately.

Rating

Resistance is hands down the best FPS ever to get in a video-game console. Technically impressive with huge areas and amazing phisics effects, pay atention to the snow at the end and the windows shattered glasses and you’ll understand what I’m saying. The first console game IMO with AI comparable with the one on HL², which makes every time you play unique, adding a lot to the replay value. The multiplayer with 40 players online is amazing, and the offline mode remindes me of the good old nights playing N64′s Goldeneye. Have a PS3? Buy it.

The Chimera overrun continental Europe in February 1950, leaving very few survivors in resistance fall of man, we send our armies to aid europe on there homeland. You will find amazing large scale battles, in this gritty pull no punches FPS, arguably the best FPS on a next gen console story and gameplay wise, this was my first purchase with my ps3 80 gig console and i still play it, new weapons on your second play through make it’s replay value insanly high, also fun and addictive multiplayer mode, and resistance 2 will up the bar even further, this is one of my fav. games.

Rating

OK, the game has great graphics and all this other stuff that people are saying and aren’t talking about the multiplayer modes. Ok, you have your classic deathmach and capture the flag, but the best online mode is breach. It will keep you playing for months. Then there is meltdown where you capture nodes. That’s great too. And another which is hard to spell, but it is where you fight to the death basically as human and chimera. Best multiplayer game of the year.

Rating

This is by far the best PS3 game so far. Obviously there will be much better games to come but this game has an amazing storyline, incredible graphics, entertaining online play, a sweet cooperative mode. The game is action packed and is a lot of fun. I would highly suggest it to PS3 owners.

Rating

Excellent game, co-op play is great.

My son and I cannot stop playing it.

This game is excellent. The graphics are phenomenal – they show off the PS3 capabilities really well, for this point in its lifespan anyway. Shadows, textures, light/dark, faces, whatever – it all looks gorgeous. And the frame rate NEVER drops, even during epic battles filled with friends and foes, bullets whizzing by, and explosions all around. The enemies are reasonably intelligent, and most of the weapons differentiate themselves pretty well and lend themselves to different styles of play. And the voice acting is movie-quality.

I rented this game and beat it on medium in about 5 days, totalling maybe 20 hours, which is pretty good for an FPS this pretty. I didn’t find all the optional intel reports or look up all the special achievements either – I mostly just played the game straight through. Each level/mission is seperated by a voiced-over cut scene that advances the story line, and the plot is pretty decent. The hero is likable, as is his supporting cast; I suppose he’s more Master Chief than Gordan Freeman. Although maybe not quite as engaging as either.

Speaking of the classics, this game is right up there with them. My only complaint is that the story doesn’t really resolve itself at the end, but I suppose that’s because of the sequel coming out this fall (which you can be sure I’ll be checking out). If you like FPS’s, you can’t go wrong with this one. Beautiful graphics, great play control, interesting story line, big guns, and good replay value.

Resistance: Fall of Man is one of the few Playstation 3 games that’s actually worth owning. Everything you like about mission-based World War II games is included here, including wonderful graphics, great play control, a variety of weapons where each one is unique, interesting strategies required to master in order to make progress, etc. This is the best game so far on the Playstation 3.

if you are going to purchase one game for ps3; this should be it. graphics are amazing; sound quality in surround sound is awesome. a must have.

I’m an old school fps fan, and i’ve rarely finished the offline portion of a fps. However, I’ve finished the single player mode of resistance twice.

The online is a lot of fun, and there is new content being released this month. I highly reccommend this game!

I got this game today with my PS3. It reminds me a lot of a Doom meets Call of Duty. You’re a soldier who is going out to kill some pretty ugly aliens. The gameplay is smooth – the aliens are an easy kill although I am finding health scarce. The graphics are awesome. I have a 720p tv. I know this is going to look sweet to anyone who has a 1080p. The game plays much like a movie, showing off the Blu Ray HD. The load time is fast and I am really happy with it. I own 5 games so far for the PS3 and this one and Call of Duty 3 are my favorites.

Rating

The service went great. I received the game on time in perfect condition. The game is probably one of the best I have played in a long time. I am for sure going to buy from this seller again.

Rating

Right off the bat you know its a quality game.From the opening sequence you are put into a warzone that is very believable. The weapons are great to use and sound authentic and your enenemy is very fierce.I am about halfway through and its easily the best shooter on the playstation3.I have played Killzone too and while killzone may have SLIGHTY better grahics the movement and controls here in resistance are far superior to that game.

The Multiplay is really great too. I like the weapons and interaction.The maps are kinda dull though campared to say Gears of war 2, but thats on a different console entirely so really of no comparison.

I would highly rate this game a must buy . Since its been out a while too the price point is ridiculously low for such a high quality polished game.

Rating

I love this game. It is nice at first i was scepticle becausethe demo sucked. I got the full verison and nice it has a story in my opinion like it better than Gears Of War. Graphis were nice too but a little hard in superhuman. AThis game is the only reson I like PS3 or i was depressed buying one.

I am really, really picky about my FPS’s. Over the years, only Halo, Halo 2, Half Life 2, Socom 2, and Counterstrike have been able to make me say “wow” and keep playing for months. My games have to have it all (story, gameplay, online, sound). This is another one to add to that list. Resistance is all around incredible. I would say this is one of my favorite games ever (and thats saying a ton for a launch title). The single player comes second only to Half Life 2 and the multiplayer is on par and may be even a little better than the rest of the titles I mentioned. I have been playing relentlessly since launch and plan to play for months to come. Throw in the coop op mode and all the unlockables and leveling up in the online game and you have an instant classic.

Probably the biggest stand out in the game are the weapons. This game has a weapon that shoots through walls for goodness sake. The sniper rifle slows down time. Even the rocket launcher can be stopped in midair, fire its own volley of rockets, and then be aimed again and launched in another direction. Its just amazing how much thought and innovation went into these weapons. The sound is great, the story in engaging, and the graphics are very good. They aren’t Gears of War good, but then again, Resistance puts more than 4 creatures on the screen at ones and keeps a steady framerate.

And last but not least, the online play (20 vs 20) is LAG FREE. I have yet to see one instance of lag in my entire time playing the online game, and everyone else seems to have the same results.

All in all, this game is amazing, and the fact that it is a launch title makes it all the more impressive. BUY THIS NOW. If your waiting to buy your ps3, BUY IT THEN.
