OK I'm not one to compare it to Gears of War since I haven't played this game but GEOW is a great game and will end up selling like hotcakes.But R:FOM is a launch game for the third new PlayStation

Resistence is set in an alt universe where things like WWI and WWII had a different outcome and how aliens came, it will have both real and made-up weapons.

The game got good reviews from Japan, in which the PS3 has been released on the 11th, and USA and Canada are getting it on 17th and us as PAL players, is getting the PS3 in March sut sutt

I am no fanboi of any console, just before this gen I had a GC an Xbox and a PS2, But I have none of them now, I sold them on eBay last year in order to get ready for next gen.I have a 360, I'm getting a Wii next then a PS3 at the end of 2007

I never get consoles at launch, I'm skeptical as I might get a buggy console and the thing will be 200 more in price.So I'll be "monitoring" the PS3 until 2007

Right now the PS3 has only 4 good exclusives anounced, MGS4, dmc4, Mercs 2 and BIG

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 IS Futile

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.

Great Shooter Title for the PS3

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!

OK but not very impressive

Everything about this game is average. I know its just a launch title but when this game and system is so overhyped i expected alot more. The sound is ok, the controls are decent but it just doesnt seem to have the quality of game im used to on XBOX 360. I am sure this will not be an issue later on but i was expecting more from a $600.00 machine. I just hope the other games coming out are not just XB360 ports. Let us pray

Decent game, but definitely NOT next-gen

I really expect LOTS more from my PS3 that the old COD-look! graphics look cartoonish. Gameplay is decent,but not outstanding. I want to have a serious threat for gears of war, not a beefed-up COD!

Best Launch Game

The game looks pretty good, though not even close to a game like Gears of War (xbox360). It has decent level design, but ultimately the game falls flat and feels rather dull. The art style is derivate and uninspired as well as the gameplay. In the few days that I've had my PS3 I've had more fun playing the motostorm demo than this game. Hopefully some better games will come out soon.
