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.

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.

My first FPS on a console

I hated playing FPSs on consoles, because I was used to PC controls (I tried MoH and a few others that I don't even remember the name of). I bought this because it's early in PS3's life and there aren't a lot of highly rated games yet.

Coming from many years of FPS on a PC, I was really surprised how little time it took me to get used to the controls. They are fluid and precise.

Another thing I loved is the style of graphics, not just the detail, but the feel of the environment. I think this is what sets it apart from all other FPS games.

Another thing I really like about this is that there's no single weapon that you can use to get through the whole game. You need to constantly change weapons based on the situation your in. Shotgun is a must in close combat, while your basic M Carbine is still most effective in outdoor battles. Also, (and this might just be a coincidence) it seems like the game PUSHES you to use different weapons. If I use the same rifle for too long, the ammunition for it becomes more difficult to find, but you come across plenty of ammo for your other weapons. Switch to one of them and suddenly you find ammo for the one you just ran out of. Maybe that's just me, but maybe it's a pretty clever design feature.

This game finally sparked my interest in FPS on consoles, I can't wait for a sequel and the game hints there may be one.

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...

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

Not bad but...

As an avid PC gamer, I have a fairly high standard for video games. Clearly the PS3 possesses some serious horse-power and potential. Visually this game is on par with very high end PC games. In terms of actual gameplay its pretty average. I am pretty comfortable with a keyboard and mouse so adjusting to the PS3 controller for a first person shooter is a bit tricky but I don't blame Resistance: Fall of Man for that. The truth is that so far (granted I've only played the game for about an hour) I'm not particularly awestruck by this game.

Any PC FPS enthusiast knows Half-Life 2 and BattleField 2 really are the state of the art and so far this game on the PS3 isn't in the same league.

Good but not great.

Wow great game but you can find it for a better price...

This is a great game mixing three of the greatest games of all time; Halo, Doom 3, and Medal of Honor. It looks great like all three, it feels sooo smooth, and it is up to 40 player multiplayer online! It takes Halo's grenade options (at least 4), Halo's "infested" bad guys who want to infest you, and Halo's melee attacks. It looks like Medeal of Honor even down to the way you zoom in with vintage weapons! It throws in the Doom 3 monsters looking extremely freaky and often quite horrific. With all these great games in one what more could you ask for, well, unique alien weapons, controlable tanks, immersive environments, enemies you must litirally shake off (shake the controller), also interactive environments such as fire you must shake off (again the controller), and soo much more it really is quite easy to go on but now I must go play it. Oh and it is the best but don't pay $88 for it when you can pay just $60.

A Review from Someone who Actually owns it

I got this game today with my PS3. It reminds me a lot of a Doom meets Call of Duty. You're a soldier who is going out to kill some pretty ugly aliens. The gameplay is smooth - the aliens are an easy kill although I am finding health scarce. The graphics are awesome. I have a 720p tv. I know this is going to look sweet to anyone who has a 1080p. The game plays much like a movie, showing off the Blu Ray HD. The load time is fast and I am really happy with it. I own 5 games so far for the PS3 and this one and Call of Duty 3 are my favorites.
