A NON FPS gamers review

As a gamer I am highly attracted towards figting games, rpgs, platformers, rts, mmorpg, and adventure type games. FPS games all look the same to me, until I dscovered resistance. As far as graphics and visuals are concerenced...duh it's a PS3. As far as gameplay extraordinarly fun, great weapons, great story, (AN ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT BELIEVEABLE FPS IS HARD TO FIND THIS IS ONE OF THEM), and smart enemies. Keep in mind I have'nt played a GOOD fps since 007 golden-eye (yea its been that long) so fellow NON-FPS gamers brush up on your inverted Y, hopping, ducking, because Resistance for the PS3 is a great buy!

Simply a brilliant FPS. Reminds me alot of the call of duty series and the area-51 FPS from 2004. Has all of the elements of a good first person shooter and none of the bad ones. Visuals are STUNNING. If you were able to remove the weapon from the screen, you'd probably have people thinking you were watching a movie if they walked by your set. Controls are the smoothest I've ever seen on a console FPS. Sound is awesome (there could be a bit more music however). A.I. is at it's best. They will run from you, run after you when you try to reload or recharge your health, duck, dodge, annoy you and make you work for a kill. Brilliant! I've beaten the game four times and I'm still eager for more. Overall, an instant classic and by far the best launch title for the PS3. It's one of those games I could see myself still playing a year or two down the road.

Immersive Action

Been playing console first person shooters for years, and I have to say that this one gave me the most pleasure (followed by Halo, probably). I would rate it as a full-bladder game -- I played the bulk of the adventure needing to use the bathroom, but too interested to see what happens next to actually press pause and get up.

Gun selection, replay value, graphics, and (especially) plot, were excellent. While playing Gears of War on the 360 left me feeling frustrated (biggest complaint being that it was difficult to tell my own team from the enemy), this one was just unmitigated fun. I would complain only by saying that the beginning of the game was probably more difficult than the end, so for those players who find frustration in the first chapter, have faith that once your character gains the ability to regenerate, things get a lot more interesting.

It's a game of jawdropping beauty on a big HDTV. That said, I can't recommend a $600 system with only one solid game to anybody who doesn't have the TV to make the most out of it. If you have the bucks, the TV and the faith that Sony will pull through with more games, however, step up to the plate and enjoy the ride.

Had to have this game

Well, when i bought my PS3 I knew that i had to have this game. I love 1st person shooter games so i knew that i would be happy. This game is tough, which is good, but i have to say that the graphics are almost PS2 area. I was expecting ALOT MORE. The levels are too short, too. Some only take around 30 minutes to complete. All in all this game is something, even though i beat it last night, i will play more and more to find all the extras. This is a good game, but IMO, wait for the price to go down or buy used.

world war II meets Doom ..what more can you ask for? a winner for the ps3

just got my playstation 3 today..and ive heard a lot of hype surrounding this title so after trying a brief demo at target i picked it up... i was really floored this game is fantastic! if you like the call of duty series or the doom series...this merges them together perfectly...

this game looks alike call of duty 3 but with the creepy doom touch...the villians are hidious and are fun to shoot down...this game is very gritty and bloody..so i would not give this to 4 year old johnny on his bithday ... but if you like a great shooter this delivers in spades...its not halo or gears of war and, it dosent try to be but it works...lots of action..you better watch your back when you play this one!

the graphics are detailed and show off the playstation 3 nicely. and the sound is top notch..its the must have launch title if you dont believe me check out the other reviews even x-play on the g4 network rave about this game ... bottom line..if you have a ps3 grab this one..also call of duty 3...

10 months after its release...

And still one of the best FPS's shooters out there for the PS3 (although, not many in the market yet...)

I wont be redundant and comment on what everybody has already said for this game, but rather share my overall experience with this title. After all, if you are reading this, odds are you are minutes away from purchasing the game.

Graphics, sound, storyline, they are all great (see other reviews). But whats really impressive is how easy you'll get hooked up to online play. Its simple, it loads fast, plenty of people (up to 40) and several maps and modes to choose from. And the best part is that after all this time, most people will continue to play without getting bored. Whether you want to jump in to a classic all-bullet death match inside a mall, or just take your time and play against other snipers in abandoned cities, you'll always find a challenging game. I really enjoy how easy and fast it is to find and join a game, unlike other multiplayer games out there.

On the flip side, the amount of glithcers (cheaters) is substantial, even though Insomniac has been working on several patches and fixes to prevent this from occurring.

One recommendation: you will need a headset. Either get a USB or a bluetooth headset (or both) to fully enjoy the online experience.

PROS
- Sharp, realistic graphics
- Superb Sound
- Easy to learn
- Addictive multiplayer
- Great replay value

CONS
- Continuous updates are needed to fix minor issues.
- Limited options if you want to change your soldier's appearance.
- No co-op option available for online play

Must have for the PS3

A review of Resistance: Fall of Man is a simple one to write. It's the best game out of all the launch titles.

Assuming you are old enough to play a Mature rated game (kiddos definitely shouldn't be playing this), then this is the game to buy. Single player mode is fantastic. Graphics are wonderful and the enemies are S M A R T! They will try to run around objects and buildings to flank you as you try to take cover.

The game also include cooperative play, so you and a friend can both play through the levels at the same time. A very nice feature. Where this game stands out in my mind though is the online play. Simply fantastic. Plus they keep track of your stats after the game is over so you can move up in rank and get unlocks.

I have Call of Duty 3 and would recommend Resistance over CoD unless you're a hardcore history buff. If you're looking for just a good game, Resistance is it.

Great Shooter Game for Beginners and above

I normally don't like first person shooter games because they are too hard for the casual gamer and require a big time investment. But this game gives a gamer like me a challenge with lots of save points. Great for saving time and reducing repitition. I also enjoy the multi-player option, where I can run around a map with a friend and try to shoot each other. The online multi-player option is fun and easy to get started with, however, I'm generally playing against players who spend a lot more time figuring out strategy and weapons than I do.
So, this game has a ton of features that will delight both the casual and advanced gamer. Graphics are also great and the controls are easy to use.

The must play PS3 game

I have never been a big fan of first person shooters. To me most of the games seem to have the same revolving storyline with you being the hero. The FPS genre has become the sure fire top game seller over the past several years. So it was no surprise to me when Sony announced that their biggest launch title would be Resistance Fall of Man. I was less than enthusiastic about it and was hoping for something a little different to help persuade my buying decision. When I eventually bought a PS3 last week I reluctantly purchased this game. The positive reviews are what caused me to hope for something good at least. When I eventually got a chance to sit down and play the game I became more than enthusiastic. Resistance is a very well put together game with excellent physics, A.I., and graphics. Now I am not going to compare graphics or gameplay to other shooters. All I can say is this game has excellent visual effects when watching the destruction take place. Some of the environments are amazingly detailed with a sense of watching a good sci-fi movie set in the 1950's. I was captivated with the excellent storyline and the larger than life plot. Nothing about your character is average...but he is also not some superhero that looks like he works out everyday. The A.I. is amazing in this game and it shows how well the enemy can anticipate your moves. I was having problems in a building because everytime I thought the enemy was moving in the other direction he would come right up on me and open fire. Hopefully this an indication of what developers can do on the cell based architechture. We will see. Now as far as graphics are concerned. I would say this game was not a show stopper. It's presented in 720p and is set with numerous dark Earth tones. I believe this was the intention of the developer when setting the mood. Obviously chilling would be a key word. Some of the textures are amazing and the explosion and smoke effects are superb. Although playing this game also helps me realize they still have a long way to go on taking the PS3 to it's limits.

Playing online is very impressive. The times I have played it never had trouble finding me a room which had several people playing. If you are looking for an intriguing story and generally a very good game to keep you busy over the next month or two then this is it.

Rediculous Fun

This was my first game for PS3 and imediately my decision was vindicated. I didn't have the internet working so i played single player and it blew my mind away. After playing some madden I finally got my internet working and the multi-player just drew me right back in. Theyve done a fantastic job creating a good multi-player system that is easy to get into. High replay value in both single and multi player modes
