  • Resistance: Fall of Man

    First off, let's get this out of the way: Resistance ain't no Gears of War. But it's actually somewhat unfair to even compare the two directly (though that won't stop us, nosiree.)

Pros Cons

Fantastic multiplayer Braindead computer AI
PS3's Gears of War

Okay, so it's not perfect, but it's better that the overrated Halo! This game is a very solid shooter with a good campaign, diverse enemies, and massive multiplayer. However, there are some negatives. First of all, the campaign allies die way too easliy and the multiplayer sometimes has bad graphics. Also, the campaign is a bit long. However, this game got very good sales after the release of its sequal and since it was the first shooter for the PS3. If you're looking for a good, solid shooter, go with this game right here!

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

Very OK Game

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.

I expected nothing less from Insomniac

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.
