Not bad but...

As an avid PC gamer, I have a fairly high standard for video games. Clearly the PS3 possesses some serious horse-power and potential. Visually this game is on par with very high end PC games. In terms of actual gameplay its pretty average. I am pretty comfortable with a keyboard and mouse so adjusting to the PS3 controller for a first person shooter is a bit tricky but I don't blame Resistance: Fall of Man for that. The truth is that so far (granted I've only played the game for about an hour) I'm not particularly awestruck by this game.

Any PC FPS enthusiast knows Half-Life 2 and BattleField 2 really are the state of the art and so far this game on the PS3 isn't in the same league.

Good but not great.

Wow great game but you can find it for a better price...

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.

A Review from Someone who Actually owns it

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.

Resistance: Fall of Man - Full Review

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.

The Greatest Launch Game

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.

Slightly Disappointed

Bought this as my first game for the PS3 since it seems to be the best game out right now. The graphics are ok, but they're not spectacular (reminds me of the PS2). The gameplay seems a little too cartoonish (Nintendo cartoonish). My expectations may have been set too high after playing Gears of War on the Xbox 360, which is a masterpiece. The game is ok, but I expected something better to show off the PS3's capabilities. This game left me slightly disappointed.

Amazing Game

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.

Very good

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.

FUN SHOOTING COOL *** WEAPONS!

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!

Solid, Intense, Fun FPS

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...
