OK, Resistance: Fall of Man is based around Europe in the late 1940's / 1951 era, where you and your band of brothers fight alien-type creatures. The game kind of reminds me of many shooters....Like: BLACK, or KILLZONE, or something like that...

I DO like the game, it's fast paced, and fun to play, however, I can see myself getting bored with it quickly...Just like I did with Black & Killzone.

Overall, the game is kind of repititious, fighting the same bad guys on & on & on, and even on the easy level, the game can be a bit on the tough side (at least for me) Then again, I'm not always into these types of games. I'm more into War-related games like SOCOM, Call of Duty, etc.......

Now, many people think it's a great game, and I certainly agree, it is a great game. The graphics are awesome, the music soundtrack is great, the shooting, the blood...etc etc etc....(don't get me wrong, I love bloody games!) I think it's pretty cool...For a while...But, for my personal tastes, after a bit of time playing it, I just found myself wanting something a bit different then mashing the FIRE BUTTON non stop, and getting killed every few minutes. hehe

I know many kids/teens & adults really love the game, because it is fun, and can be spooky at times, and it's quite cool, but I just find it to be a bit monotonous after a while.

Best ONLINE game EVER!!

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.

Great game ....worth it

Aliens running wild in 1940's era in Europe. Graphics, sound, controls are above par but, can't help feeling it should be better than this. It's like going see a movie with high expectations, coming out "It was ok but...", that kind a feeling (darn commercials). Maybe the price and the ending has something to do with it.

PC players, stay away

I've been playing mostly first-person-shooters over the last 10 years, all on PC. I also play console games, but I never tried a console FPS before. I bought this game because of the rave reviews, and hoping that it would support a keyboard and a mouse. Well, that was a bad choice... The graphics are gorgeous and the plot is nice, but the controls are just too frustrating. Aiming with an analog stick is not only harder, it makes the character's movements unnatural. I feel like I'm playing Doom all over, with better graphics.
I guess you get used to it after a few hours, but a mouse is just so much more intuitive and precise, and would make the experience so much more enjoyable.
In my opinion, not being able to use a pointing device in a FPS is the biggest reason why consoles will still fail to capture a lot of PC players... This game is no different. So PC players, beware...

Fantastic shooter

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.

Next gen graphics, average gameplay

Resistance is in no way a revolutionary game. Those will probably come down the line with MGS4 and FF13. However, when one is conflicted as to what game to start playing with their PS3, Resistance is probably the best choice.

The graphics are good. The cinematics are mostly done with the high-end graphics of the PS3, and the character models are definetly something to see. The environments can seem simple at times, with nearly empty rooms filled with square boxes and stuff. It isn't until you are outside shooting at masses of enemies between buses or in fogged out gray areas that you really get to experience the game.

The gameplay itself isnt bad. The enemies utilize cover, and will hit you if they shoot at you. You however, can't really utilize cover. You can't peak around corners or cover up to a wall. This is a feature they really should of added. The guns though make up for it. They all do different things, and its up there with Half-Life 2.

The single player game is good to see what the game is about, but it feels like it was made for multiplayer. The multiplayer portion is very smooth. It supports up to 40 people, but even a few players in a grimy, gray environment can really make things interesting.

I would highly recommend Resistance to people who want to test out their PS3. In the future though, this one might not stand the test of time.

fantastic

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!

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.)

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!
