Fairly decent first person shooter

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.

Great first game

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.

This game made PS3 worth buying

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.

Awesome game from start to finish.

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.

Great First Person Shooter for the PS3

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.

Better than most but ultimately nothing new

I'm a little late to finish this one up now that Cod4 and Assassins Creed are both out but I was an xbox 360 guy for the initial ps3 launch. When they came out with the cheaper 40gb model, I gave it the upgrade. So I decided to get the launch title and that meant resistance. I immediately disliked it. I expected way too much from the next generation platform ps3 in the graphics department. I admit that I was spoiled by Gears of War graphics on the 360. now that may have been asking too much since the 360 was a mature platform when GoW was released and the PS3's cell processor was too new for a launch title to fully leverage it.

That said, I perservered on and I have to admit that there is a lot to like about the game... namely the storyline, it's fairly rich and involved even if it isn't terribly unique. The best thing about the game were the wide open battlefield sequences. it was a lot to load in ram and the player is free to walk throughout, without game loading pauses. It was a good first for me.

So ultimately it was a decent enough game. A worthy launch title, though it feels rushed in places and the end battle was a bit of a letdown. I'll reserve judgement for Resistance 2, scheduled to be launched fall of this year [08]. Ideally Insomniac will have more maturity working with the architecture and will really wow the gamer. I'm looking forward to continuing the story.

Best FPS in a long time...

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.

amazing game

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.

Best introduction to the world of online.

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

epic shooter, mature story.

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.
