Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)

Absolutely amazing modern game. Basic yet interesting story to it. It is for anyone; adept gamers and noobs alike because the easy game mode is simple and can be played on multiplayer. Too many great points about it. Provides a good challenge but still not physically impossible. Great graphics, brilliant detail. The story is absolutely amazing, links together very simply and doesnt confuse either. The villains/aliens detailed provide a good challenge and an overall good fight. The weapons can be fun and cool aswell very creative and imaginative. Online multiplayer is the best aspect of the game. Many diferent types of games and you can create your own game. TeamKill is also very amusing and can amuse me for hours on end. There are a few if any bad points about this game. It is very unrealistic, yes i know common sense there is aliens but it's the guns they have... its 1950's not 2050. Also the online multiplayer can be frustrating when playing agianst pro's. Well thats it basically. Amazing. Speechless. Best game of 2007. Great graphics, great weapons, amazing online gaming. WOW. I just can get over how good this game is.

November 10, 2006 - Owners of some gaming systems have to wait years before they get a true ''killer app,'' but PlayStation 3 users get theirs on day one. Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man is far and away the most impressive title on the console -- delivering on everything that it promised with a strong single-player experience, plenty of kick-ass multiplayer options, and stellar gameplay mechanics that equal those found in other elite shooters. But being like ''other elite shooters'' isn't what makes Resistance so compelling... it's what separates it from competitors that does.

On the exterior, Fall of Man doesn't look all that different. Take a few steps away from your television with squinted eyes and you could mistake it for Call of Duty or Medal of Honor. But do yourself a favor, open those peepers up and step towards the screen because Resistance doesn't pay homage to World War II... it attempts something on a scale of much larger proportions.

It's July 1951, and the mysterious ''Chimera'' has overrun Europe. Originally having conquered Russia in the '30s, the bizarre alien race has moved westward to infect the entire European continent with a virus that transforms its people into ugly gun-wielding monsters. Sure World War II never happened, but humanity's cities still fell -- replaced by the rubble of what came before it and giant tower-like structures of unknown origin. In the midst of this mess players assume the role of Sergeant Nathan Hale, a tough-as-nails American soldier that joined Britain's final defense effort. But what secrets is Hale hiding and more importantly, what Chimeran secrets will he help the British uncover?

And so begins Fall of Man's overarching storyline; a narrative that benefits from talented voice actors, multiple in-game cutscenes, and a series of old-school ''freeze frame'' transitions. Though there aren't too many surprises to be found across the game's 20-plus chapters, the plot still plays out well and has interesting, albeit few, main characters. It's likely that by the time you get to the end of this 12-15 hour experience, it was because you were compelled to find out what Hale and the Chimera were really all about... even if the story's ending is a little unclear and open-ended.

One of the primary reasons' that Resistance's plot works so well is because of how effective its atmosphere is. The game is surprisingly creepy and has a decent portion of cheap scares and explorations of dark, winding corridors. Walking through a wasteland of human bodies, avoiding super-fast crawler-things, and reacting to hidden snipers keeps you on your toes at all times... as does the realization that the farther into the game you get, the less human the world becomes.

Further enhancing the atmosphere are the visuals themselves. Though they're certainly not the most impressive we've ever seen, they're still pretty powerful and accomplish a number of remarkable technical feats. The framerate is locked at 30 the whole way through and doesn't falter anywhere... ever. In fact, regardless of how many enemies and moving objects were on the screen at one time, there wasn't a single frame hitch the entire way through. Oh, and since we're talking about enemies and objects, there are scores of them -- Chimera, British soldiers, tanks, VTOLs, debris, tracers, explosions, and plenty of other moving and stationary are everywhere with alarming frequency. Each and every environment is noticeably different from one another as well, and while the texture work isn't overly detailed, it still looks pretty good. Of course, being that Fall of Man is a first-person shooter, it's the gameplay that matters most and thankfully, Resistance has that in spades. - Awsome online play, 40 players, no lag at all.
- Great choice of weapons.
- Great sound effects. - Not that good graphically. This is a really good start for the PS3. This game really brings down the house.

It took 3 generations but there is finally a decent First person shooter sony can call there own. The first thing you notice however with the game is the bleak visuals which don't reach the hights games like motorstorm and virtua fighter do which is a little disapointing but lets move on. However the gameplay more than makes up for the visuals. With a larger varity of great weapons, the sense that you know that they can always see you. An impressive feature being the fact that the areas are so vast compared with Gears of War and the area is a huge battlefield with loads of chimeran to kill :).

Resistance goes with insomnics R&C reputation with creating great weapons, for example the hedgehog grenade which blows up into hundreads of spears. (theres nothing more pleasing than killing with them. Likewise the aurgor which has the abiltiy to shoot people on the otherside of walls and buildings is great for when flanking.

The one downside to resistance as it seems theres very few tactics taking place during the game. It seems more of a hit and run style game which is a little dispointing.

Online however it where this game really glows. 40player matches with a ton of modes to choose from (all Lag free) are great fun, the abiltity to create your own clans and have squads during matches so you only have to talk to the people you want to. This game is worth the 40quid just for the online play alone. Sony now have there online game which can challege xbox's dominate Halo. Online - tons of modes, 40 players, lag free dont need to say much else really
weapons - great choice and well used throughout the game
Graphically - Not really the graphics powerhouse sony wanted
Few tactics in game - lets it down
single player - its good but not enough to wow you Resistance has got this gen's FPS off to a great start for Sony lets hope they follow the trend with resistance2 and Killzone. Providing you have online you will not regreat this purchase. I myself have spent hours online and adds to the lifespan of the game. A great game to promote PSN.
