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.

Still playing it after a Year!

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.

Good Game

Ok, until now I have been very impressed about PS3'games. Resistance, I have just to finish and I think that it is good game,short game, just 2 weeks to finish because I work and could play few times on week, but if you play hard maybe you could get it in 1 day. I recommend it, but my opinion is for another release i.e. Resistance II could improve graphics, because other games such us Drake's Fortune,Burnout Paradise, etc, they have impressive graphics,likes real, ok I know they show several movies in the game but really real. Conclusion, I recommend you Resistance, good story and easy to game.

Overall a Great Game and Anxious for Next

Insomniacs, notorious for the Ratchet and Clank series, came out with a great game. This was one of the first games made available for the PS3 and that's pretty impressive for Insomniacs to manage to develop and release so quickly. They don't even take advantage of all the features, which means that when Resistance 2 comes out it'll look/feel even better.

For those who aren't familar with this title: Basically its an alternate timeline. Instead of WWII, something happened in Europe/Asia that could only be described as a possible alien invasion. Since the US was isolationist at the time, they stayed out but continued to develop. Which is why when you start the game you start with an M1 looking rifle, but has been upgraded with a Grenade Launcher (similar to the M203).

It doesn't take long before you come across some crazy weapons (Good ol' Insomniacs won't let you down!): A sniper rifle that slows down time, a rocket launcher that will allow you to fire the rocket and then change its trajectory/speed, and of course, the aliens have some: a gun called the Bullseye that allows for you to "tag" someone and all subsequent shots will go to that location, or even a weapon that can fire through walls.

The gameplay is a lot of fun, whether you play co-op, or the single player campaign or you try your luck online. There's a couple of map packs that were released not too long ago and the developers still issue patches/support for the game too.

For those that are familar with Ratchet and Clank, the "Skill Point" system is used here too. For instance: Kill a 4-legged animal-looking alien with a grenade and get the "Fetch" skill-point. Get enough of these to unlock added features. They also like to hide documents on each level for you to find (similar to R&C: Gold Bolts).

The online has it's own rank system. Start off as Private and with points/kills gain XP and rank. Has a lot of interesting maps and of course: Deathmatch, Objective, etc. modes.

Fun shooter

The enemy AI in this game is great and allows for multiple playthroughs. There are a lot of weapons that can only be used after you beat the game once. Although the single/coop campaign is fun, the multiplayer online is kinda bland.

Spectacular

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

Still my favorite PS3 game to date

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!!!!!

Really for hardcore gamers - Revisted

I'm not really a hardcore gamer, but do play video games now and again. This game seems a little too hardcore without much introduction. You get put in a war situation and must fight to survive, but also must be an aggressive fighter. Ok, good so far as nothing is wrong with that. But you do get killed a lot and there's a lot of standing around at first trying to figure out what to do. Admittedly I'm only in the beginning phases, but seem spend too much time just waiting after a kill to get back to playing, as if there is some type of punishment for getting killed. Other games like Motorstorm rematerialize you right away. I mean you're there to play, not to sit and wait for some obligatory punishment/waiting period after you've died. I'm sure there are a lot of poignant and entertaining moments with this game, but I may never get to them. Also I've noted this is a frustrating game for any kids under 13, of course it's rated M anyway. I'm thinking of selling the game after having it about 3 weeks or so and with about 10 hours of playing time. I much prefer Motorstorm and kids do too.

That was my first review. Now I've given it another chance and find this game to be awesome. It's taken this long to get back to the review since I spend so much time playing the game. Really started getting into the game in cooperative mode and haven't looked back since. There are some specific skills you need, such as accurate aiming with a joystick, and the ability to think quickly (change guns, throw grenade, find a better position, etc.). Using strategy pays off. There is hardly ever just one way to achieve the mission. Many paths let you go slow and stealthy, or fast and in-your-face. I'm now a full convert to this game and fully recommend it. Though it's a lot of violence, playing it with younger kids gives a good opportunity to discuss fantasy from reality. I play it with children as young as 9 and find the language acceptable.

Not as impressive as I thought

The graphics aren't as good as everyone say. But tha first wave of games for the playstation 3 are crappy. fortunately, there are very big titles coming out next summer. The only good games for the playstation 3 right now are fall of man and that one boxing game. My suggestion to buyers is to wait another 3 months.

Okay

I want to rate this game higher, but I just can't because I've been spoiled by pc shooters. Now, this game is fun, and I do play it and enjoy it. However, it's more in a throw-back to old times way than anything else. The graphics are rather ho-hum, but then again I feel the same way about gears of war. Everyone raves about the graphics of that game, but compared to F.E.A.R or Oblivion, or even Half-life 2, Gears isn't anything special. Granted I'm comparing high-end PC games to console games, so the consoles are generally going to lose, especially since the consoles are only in 720p at the moment.

The A.I is stupid. I don't know why people think that it is great... You can sneak up on them from the side, where a lot of other games would see you. Even if this was realistic, when you start shooting them, they will sometimes just stand there being stupid and not reacting. They will try to find cover and hide, but they rarely come after you. When they do, one will come after you, get mowed down, then his buddy does exactly the same thing... Not exactly the next-gen A.I I was hoping for.

The actual gameplay is nothing original, but I find myself playing it and enjoying it, so overall it isn't a bad game, just not as unbelievable as a lot of people think. I would recommend everyone to try it. It is probably one of the best games for the PS3, just not one of the best FPS games period. If you don't have a high end computer, and haven't played one of the games I mentioned above, you probably won't have the problems I notice, but if you have, then realize the gameplay will feel a little old hat.
