Fall of Man PlayStation 3

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 15, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Resistance: Fall of Man review helpful

Pros: Rock-solid design borrows the best aspects from the best first-person shooters; outstanding presentation, featuring great weapons and believable environments; replayable campaign pits you against an aggressive, fairly intelligent foe; fully featured multiplayer mode offers good variety and supports up to 40 players.

Cons: Derivative visual style and gameplay is well crafted but mostly unoriginal; the campaign's story and characters aren't well developed; two-player cooperative mode isn't available online

If you're going to make a first-person shooter, you might as well take aim to deliver the best of what this style of gaming has to offer. That's what Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games must have done with Resistance: Fall of Man. One of the most highly anticipated titles in the PlayStation 3 launch lineup, Resistance is a technically impressive, well-designed, intense action game that unmistakably draws inspiration from some of the finest recent examples of similar games. Resistance doesn't attempt anything wildly different than other first-person shooters out there, but by offering a strong selection of interesting weapons, plenty of ruthless foes to shoot them at, good level design, and an excellent presentation, it accomplishes what most such games fail to do. A fully featured multiplayer mode for up to 40 players rounds out an exciting campaign in what's an all-around great effort and a promising example of what the PlayStation 3 can do.
Resistance takes place in a grim alternate reality in which World War II never happened, yet something possibly even worse happened instead. As political tensions run high in the middle of the 20th century, a monstrous race of horrifying creatures suddenly shows up and starts killing everyone. Initially presumed to be a Russian biological weapon, this fiendish species is known as the Chimera. It quickly overwhelms Asia and most of Europe before it focuses attention on the United Kingdom. In the game, you play as a no-nonsense American soldier named Nathan Hale, who is sent in to reinforce the UK's defenses. A brush with death early on gives Hale a unique perspective of his foe and, before long, he's lone-wolfing it against the worst that the Chimera has to offer. As Hale, you'll blast your way through the devastated streets of England and also find yourself deep within the enemy's own territory as you struggle to survive and turn the tide of a losing battle.

The story is told from the perspective of a different officer who briefly interacts with Hale during his missions against a seemingly unstoppable enemy. Her solemn narration is easy enough to follow but not particularly engaging because by her own admission, she doesn't really know what's going on in Hale's head or what's going on with the Chimera. Brief but nicely done cinematic cutscenes using the game's 3D engine at least serve to give Nathan Hale a believably concerned look between battles. Still black-and-white images and charts that are made to look as if they could have come from the early '50s also help set the mood and premise of each level in the game's more than 10 main stages. However, the story in Resistance is there mostly to justify a number of fairly conventional, though very well done, first-person shooter battles. You'll learn a bit about the Chimera as you fight, and there's some resolution once you finally finish the campaign after countless grueling shoot-outs. But Hale's character is never developed and he almost never speaks, and the plot has some noticeable gaps. Ultimately, this is a game whose personality mostly comes across when you're shooting something. The Chimera and their ugly spider-like features make them easy to hate straightaway.

Must Have Game For the PS3

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 17, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Resistance: Fall of Man review helpful

Pros: Easy Control / Weapons / Story Line

Cons: No Auto Save (only checkpoints)

This is a must have game for the PS3. My first reaction was "okay...another 1st person Medal of Honor rip-off" and I was going to return it because I got it for Christmas. I was not disappointed. The game got better as I played it. I like the idea of finding weapons scattered throughout the game. It picks the game up a bit because after awhile you get bored using the same weapons. After you complete the game, it unlocks new weapons for the next game. Some parts scared the sh*t out of me and the music only intensified it.

Order a pizza, grab some beer, and turn off your phone...you'll be playing this game for a long time!

A Must-Have!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 14, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Resistance: Fall of Man review helpful

Pros: Cool Weapons, nice graphics, very advanced A.I.

Cons: None!

This is my favorite game! There isn't much to explain... if you have a PS3, you HAVE to have this game! The only thing I don't like about this game is on one certain level. There is at least 50 chimera (enemies) that all have pretty advanced A.I. and it's pretty hard to get past them!! I'm stuck at that point, and I can't get past on easy difficulty!! I have only tried like 2 times though, plus I'm only 12! Anyways, it'll be a grestest hit when they come out!

now and like it

Pros: no 1

Cons: no 2

it ok for you and for me..

best game ever

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 30, 2006

Pros: hard game, fun, different than others

Cons: Single player opposed to 2 player

This is a fantastic game that should be owned by all ps3 owners no matter what the rating (M). I first got my ps3 and bought this game with madden 2007. I started to play with a friend and was instantly in love, My friend like it , but not as much as me (but he had x-box 360 and gears of war and never thinks my stuff is better than his). I think we played like 5 straight hours and got over half the game beat. My friends say the story is so good it could be a movie. The graphics are fantastic (and were definetly enhanced by our HDTV with the HDMI cable and surround sound). When you get a bit farther in the story and there are a lot of things to hid behind you hear the chimras (Aliens) saying "your mine", "me and you", "your dead". Once you kill them with your two machine guns, shotgun, sniper, rocket launcher, mine gun, and more to come the aliens die in many different and funny ways.And your soldiers aknowledege you as sarg Hale. 5/5, 100% fantastic.

resistance is not futile!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 24, 2006

Pros: best 1st person shooter I ever played

Cons: shoulda had more levels..

I watched G4 and learned of this game by watching the review and specs at the E3. I was sold! It's like Halo mixed in with call of Duty!! I was not disappointed! I look forward to the sequel should they make one. It's not one for the kiddies but it's not as gory as F.E.A.R. can be in that sense. I expect this game to be up for alot of awards when the next game awards show takes place.

Fall Of Boredom... For Now

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 23, 2006

Pros: Easy Controls; Halo-esque play, weapons, and enviroment

Cons: The opening sequence is a little weak; a lot of black and white photos that dont really show how well the graphic processor works

Move over Halo. Resistance is here.
I liked this game because it puts a fresh face on the 1st person shoot-em up games.
The controls are easy to use and the enviroment is huge and visually stunning.
There could be more of a diversity in bad guys, and a radar would help to get your bearings bnut the game totally fufills it s goal of drawing you in and making you want to kill everyone.
The vehicles in the game really remind me of Halo too; especially the way that your able to kill anyone and anything while being in a cocoon of safety.
The only thing I wish was better about this game would be better theatrical animation for some of the cut scenes, but I totally reccomend this game as a perfect motivater to get to gether with a bunch of your frineds and shoiot the hell out of eachother. You can even pick which race you want to be (Just like Halo 2! wow!).
But yea. You'll have fun

Resistance: Fall of man

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 18, 2006

Pros: Great design, amazing gameplay, great weapons and realistic A.I.

Cons: opens kind of weak, so-so ending, not next gen graphics

Resistance: fall of man is a great launch title capturing the full potential of the PS3. There is excellent weapons(some real and some futuristically altered) good graphics and unbelievable sound. but above all the game is really realy fun which usually is the most important aspect. Although you can expect the game to be fun because it is an insomniac game(the creators of the legendary ratchet and clank series). if you own or are going to purchase the ps3 i would consider it to be a sin not to have this game.This game has amazing online play with up to fourty players with absolutely no lag. and a great co op and multiplayer design.
