Have enjoyed this game from day 1. challenging and great one shooter game. If you are looking for some action jump on this

I have to say this game is worth it, great story and great online play.

• from

It may not look as fun as Gears of War but it is way more fun. The single player is almost double the length of Gears and online is insanely fun. It's probably better in my opinion. If this looked as good, it would be the best game ever made.

This is the first game that I brought home from Blockbuster for my brand new PS3 and I'm definitely loving it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it is really just a first-person shooter without anything genuinely original. That aside, the graphics rock with a VERY solid frame rate (slowdown - a thing of the past!!!). This game is intense and will have you on edge from start to finish (at least the first time through) and online play potential SHOULD easily rival HALO (I have a feeling I'm going to be crucified for that). I could NOT get enough of driving the tank around and blowing the [explative] out of the creatures hiding or going on suicide runs (note that this AI is the best I've ever seen - a lot of these buggers are smart! even though there are enough stupid ones). Would I buy this game? Had I not rented it - yes. I have yet to test its lasting appeal, but with such a limit on games available right now, this one is arguably the cream of the crop.

Resistance is definately one of the better FPS (First Person Shooter) console games to come out, it provides hours of gameplay both in the Campaign mode and online. I definately recommend this to anyone, who enjoys a fast paced FPS.

I didn't expect much from Resistance but it blew me away. Fast, chaotic action and lots of innovative weapons. The levels are very well designed, pacing, objectives, everything fits together masterfully and every time I finished a level I thought to myself "2 minutes int eh new one, just to give it a try" and ended up completing it... then another, and another. Amazing game.

I just got this game in October. As such, I'm aware it was two years behind its release date and not as much of a 'groundbreaking' title anymore. I wanted to play through it and get ready for Resistance 2, but somehow I never really got into it. I played through most of the game in a week, but my attention sort of waned (especially when the going got tough) and I pushed it aside for LittleBigPlanet.

To be honest, I never tried the online multiplayer or a lot of the other features, just the story. I thought it was a well-crafted one, but the controls (unintuitive at best) and mindless enemies/allies sort of ruin it.

I gave it 4 stars because it is a fun game to play, and maybe I just don't like it as much because I should have bought it in '06. Either way, getting it for less than $30 is a bargain, and it's a good enough game to pick up if you like shooters.

I'm not going to describe the story of this game since that's been done in plenty of other reviews.

Anyone who's played a few FPS's or is an FPS veteran won't feel anything new with this game. Although there is one or two unique weapons in this game it still feels like any other shooter. That being said, I still enjoyed this game and I enjoy shooting at creatures instead of humans.

It seems Insomniac studios was still getting the hang of utilizing the ps3's hardware as the graphics in this game weren't eye dropping. They've obviously learned alot about the ps3's hardware since than with games like Ratchet and clank future: TOD and Resistance 2.

As far as gameplay goes, I have no gripes. Controls were responsive as they should be with any game and I didn't notice any glitches or other factors that would negatively affect gameplay.

An excellent game to play over and over. The game pulls you in and before you know it you are killing bad guys left and right. The number of weapons to chose from allows you to chose many ways to decimate your enemies and for them to kill you. Each chapter is a thrill ride with all kinds of enemies.

This is a must have for any PS3 owner.

Resistance has cool graphics, great sound, fast gameplay and a decent story.

If thats not enough, the gameplay and level design are excellent, its not likely that you'll get lost or fail to trigger something.

Checkpoint placement is perfect, not so close that its all easy but not so far apart that you have to start a level over.

This is a great game which is enjoyable and fun to play whether single or multiplayer.

A must have for every PS3 owner !!!

Resistance is one of those games that are worth buying a system for. Sounds like a lot but it s a very good game. The Playstation 3 isn't exactly the system to buy right now, The Nintendo Wii is a lot cheaper and has the most innovative gameplay a system can have, and the XBox 360 has a year over the PS3 with almost triple the library that the PS3 has right now. But even with all that, the PS3 is still a system that has the most potential out of the 3, once the games come in its gonna be on.

Now the actual game is a great one, the story isn't exactly the best or the most original but it does its job. The graphics are great but still lacks the graphical power of games like "Gears of War". The game has great controls, that should feel natural to people that have played FPS shooters on the PS2, even to those that haven't played the controls will feel like second nature once you play 5 minutes through, plus the game makes good use of the new Six-Axis controller (Example; when an enemie jumps on you, you can shake the controller to shake off the enemy). Since this game is from the same people that brought you "Ratchet & Clank" the weapons in this game are unique and very fun to play with, each weapon has a special secondary fire for example the Shotgun has a double fire, Sniper Rifle can slow down time for better accuracy and the most stand out weapon of the game is the AUGER which can shoot through walls and can create a shield for its secondary fire. The sound/music in this game isn't exactly that special especially compared to the "Metal Gear Solid" series.

Another thingabout this game is the ONLINE PLAY, online for this game is one of the best supporting up to 40 players playing at once. There are about 8 different levels with different settings depending on the number of players. The Pace online is crazy as f*** especially when there are a lot of people, you can also customize your character for online with plenty of options, honestly I Like this better than Halo's online play (People are gonna hate me) the reason is because even though the physics in this game aren't exactley realistic, the pace and the delivery is a lot more friendly than Halo's. All in all this game isn't exactley a killer app FPS like Halo, but it has a special feel to it that you can't copy their style or gameplay, so if you have a Playstation 3 and don't have this game, get it right away.

I feel a bit bad for Insomniac, as Resistance: Fall of Man has had unrealistic expectations placed on it. As the PS3 launch title which actually had some buzz around it, it has fallen on Resistance to prop up the PS3's launch lineup when other launch titles garnered reviews ranging from decently entertaining (Ridge Racer 7) to horrific (Mobile Suit Gundam). It's also hard not to note the difficulty of living up to a certain other first person shooter which happened to be a launch title: Halo. In many ways, Resistance borrows from that title, and several others, most notably Call of Duty 2 and Half-Life 2. In a nutshell, Resistance: Fall of Man is an FPS which takes place in an alternate version of the 1950s, where World War 2 never happened. Instead, the world is under siege by the Chimera, a monstrous collective of creatures which may be either mutants or aliens. As an American soldier brought overseas, your mission is to help the British fight off the Chimera. Things take an unforseen turn, however, and relatively early on, you obtain the ability to regenerate health to a small degree.

Less unexpected is Insomniac's love of off-the-wall weaponry, and you'll find that here, although in smaller and tamer doses than their hallmark Ratchet & Clank series. While you'll get your stock machine gun/grenade launcher combo from the start, there'll be a number of other weapons you'll pick up, including the Chimeran standard issue Bullseye, which allows you to "tag" an enemy and have the bullets home in on the tag, the sniper rifle, which has a time "slow down" function, an organic mine-layer which spews explosive sacs, a rocket launcher with homing capability, and the auger, which fires energy bolts that can burrow through walls, and can also generate energy shields. There are also several types of grenades, including the always fun and fiery air-fuel grenade. If you finish the game, more weapons and a new difficulty level are unlocked for a subsequent playthrough. The weapons are what really set this game apart. The tactics they inspire will make for some heated battles. The controls are decent and better than Sony's last generation as far as FPS responsiveness, although I still prefer Microsoft's control sticks for this kind of game. Enemy AI, while sometimes buggy or simple, is fairly adequate enough of the time. The game can also be played in co-op mode, which is certainly better than a kick in the teeth.

The good news is that, provided you don't play the game on easy, Resistance is a long enough game to keep you occupied for a bit. The bad news, however, is that the game can get oddly repetitive, thanks in part to the environments. You get a basic handful of motifs: war-torn urban battlefields, British military installations, underground tunnels, and alien-looking Chimeran strongholds. To be sure, there are a few areas that buck the trend, such as the relatively open spaces of Cheddar Gorge, or the frozen surface of the Thames River, but a pattern does start to set in. To break things up, Insomniac threw in a few vehicular sequences (where you drive a tank, jeep, or Chimeran walker), but they don't pop up very often. The basic gun-play is still very solid, though, and use of the motion-sensing SixAxis controller to shake off enemies who grab you is a nice touch. For multiplayer fans, there are a fair number of game types, and a high potential player count. Sadly, as is the case with too many games nowadays, there are no bots available for practice.

Graphically speaking, the game is pretty nice, if somewhat underwhelming. The framerate is rock solid, especially considering the amount of activity going on, and despite what a few Sony-haters may claim, this game is more than just "slightly better looking" than a PS2 game. Textures are decent, there are the requisite shiny surfaces, and the draw distance is pretty damn good. Compared to Gears of War, however, it comes off as a bit blocky and plain in design and detail. Inspiration is clearly drawn from Call of Duty 2's urban areas, Half-Life 2's City 17 and the associated Combine metallic block installations, and Prey's sleek alien technology. The lighting doesn't stand out, but is used effectively enough in conjuction with a muted color palette and the usual atmospheric touches (different times of day in different areas, or the use of snowy weather later in the game). The Chimera are nicely (if gruesomely) rendered, and there are a few of them that are almost alarming in appearance. The sound effects and voice chatter are pretty good, but the music (which helped make Halo as unique as it was) is somewhat underwhelming.

To put it simply, Resistance: Fall of Man is what one would expect from a launch game which was rushed, but created by a dedicated and very capable developer that refused to put out a sub-par product: somewhat unoriginal, yet consistently entertaining. There is clearly room for franchise growth, and Insomniac has already announced that a sequel will be forthcoming. While not a stranger to FPS games, Insomniac hasn't visited the genre in years, which makes the results all the more impressive (considering how archaic the game could have played). If you have a PS3, you really should have this game in your collection, as the higher difficulty levels provide a challenge for hardcore gamers that approaches Halo's "Legendary" difficulty mode. While not as inspired as the titles which it borrows from, or Insomniac's first three Ratchet & Clank games, Resistance still excels as a member of the higher echelon of console FPS games, even if it can't carve out a niche among the very best of the best.

This game is the best game of the year by far! The graphics are excellent and the environments are SOO immense and realistic. You would be hard pressed to find a better game out there. If you thought GoW was good, play RFOM and be prepared for your JAW TO DROP, and to have your SOCKS KNOCKED OFF!

If you're a shooter fan like me you'll enjoy this game. The graphics are really good. They aren't quite as good as Gears of War, but they're still better than a lot of next gen games. The array of weapons is satisfying and the enemy AI is pretty smart. They really keep you on your toes. I've read most of the back story on the website, which makes the game all that more interesting. If you have a PS3 you really need to get this game.

Seriously, I'm not trolling here. I played the Resistance demo and while it was'nt terrible I did'nt really enjoy it. The other day i saw the game for like $15 at Target so picked it up thinking maybe the demo was'nt an accurate depiction of the game...unfortunately I think it was.

Let me preface this by saying I have been playing video games for a long time and while I am defintely not a FPS God, I'm also not totally inept. Though I usually stay out of the FPS genre. I recently played through the campaign in COD:WaW and thought it was incredible.

That being said when I played Resistance I did'nt get the same feeling. It seemed to me like I died quite a bit. I know it's going to happen, but I think i may have even played on easy since I had the same problem in the demo and still died frequently. It also seemed like it took alot of shots to bring down the initial enemies. Also, after I was quickly killed it seemed like I had to wait forever to get back in the "action". Action including shooting into a house from across the street and into several barricades with aliens behind them. I can't speak to the variety of the weapons because I quickly tired of pumping dozens of rounds into the same enemy before i was killed while trying to get a shot off and did'nt even make it past the first level before i turned it off.

It just was'nt very exciting to me. Before anybody throws out a "oh, can't take getting pwned n00b?" It's not that at all. I got killed a ton in COD and still enjoyed the gameplay while getting killed. I'm just learning that this was a launch title and may have it's issues, but it's suprising to see it rated almost 5 stars, i mean 5 stars people? Sounds like alot of hype to me.

I may try to give it another shot. I like the concept and once again I've read great reviews for it, but i guess either i just don't get it or did'nt give it a chance...or it just actually sucked...just consider it.
