This game is kickass, but it can get boring sometimes. I would die one time, and quit for a couple hours, and play something else. other then that its good

Your a soldier in the 50s, killing aliens that want to turn you into them.
That's new. I hate the controls on this game, it would be much better if the controls were like Call of Duty 4. Thats pretty much it about this game.

As one of the few titles available around the launch of PS3, Resistance: Fall of Man is a title aimed at bringing an intense first person shooter experience to PS3 owners, and it delivers as it should. The game is set in various areas in Europe. There is an alien invasion that is slowly taking over the human race; steadily infecting, and experimenting with mankind, they are the main threat that is running amok, and it's up to you (who else would it be?) to stop them. The game, as a first person shooter, brings gun toting, and using the environment and whatever you can find as a shield to the table. You'll face off against unique, and numerous species of the 'Chimera' and will fight both with any remaining soldier survivors, or on your lonesome. As a game from insomniac, you can expect to use a wide range of cool weapons with crazy abilities, and even crazier secondary fire. There are many different environments you will traverse, which span from indoor and out door environments and alien strongholds.You'll also take control of vehicles once in a while . The online multiplayer is pretty good, with modes you'd expect from your typical first person shooter. The twist is that you can play as either humans, or Chimera. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses, so this brings a little bit of depth to the online gameplay. Beating the campaign mode will unlock access to new weapons, and the ability to dual wield weapons, so the amount of content in Resistance isn't shallow. A great first person shooter, and a great launch title, Resistance: Fall of Man is a PS3 game to play.

RFM is a decent shooter, but to be honest, I was expecting more from this title. It is not bad, it is simply lacking oomph...

First, the cutscenes: the storey is told while you watch some picture on the screen between the stages. That is not the best way to immerse the player in my view.

Second, the weapons are alright, but nothing feels outstanding or new: I mean you have the standard SMG, shotgun, handgun and an alien SMG... There could have been some improvements or else there. Regarding the weapons, one of the main problem I have is with the alien SMG, this one is useless from a certain distance, yet the enemy can hit you fairly well using the same weapon in the same situation...frustrating.

There are some good moment, like when you play co-op with bots and such. Driving vehicles is fun too. The concept of 4 levels of rechargeable life is great too.

The game took me about 8-10h to complete; not exactly long.

My advice is this: if you have not picked-up Call of Duty 4 or the Orange Box, get one of those (or both) before this title.

If you played them and you are looking for an average shooter, pick this $30 title up...

Resistance is a 1st person shooter for the ps3 that just falls short of amazing. The year is 1951 and half the world has been taken over an alien race called the chimera. You play as sergeant hale who is sent to Europe to help rebel against the chimera. Unlike most 1st person shooters you will find yourself wandering what's left of Europe alone. This makes for some tense moments that really get your blood pumping and your heart thumping fast enough for a heart attack. And with plenty of cool gun battles and an added bonus of some fun vehicle levels, the story is a blast to play. And with challenges and unlockable guns there is reason to play the game over once or twice. But the game does fall short in some areas. The game feel dragged on a little too long and with always being alone it starts to get repetitive. There is online but I wish they had better maps and some vehicles. But with plenty of ribbons, medals and ranks to earn it keeps you playing for a long time. oh and add .5 total score don't know how to do haves so it gets 4.5
