This game is a well done First Person Shooter (FPS). It pits players against the Chimera an alien species that is, well, trying to kill you and is set back in the 1900's. You are a soilder who was infected and is basically the only person to survive from being infected. The game has a very dim/bleak look to is and it helps to set the mood very well. Sound is also very nice as there is no crazy techno music that takes away from the mood but rahter quiter orchestra style music. The AI in this game are failry well done as enemys attack in groups and constanlty dodge your shots by ducking behind things or around corners. One thing that sets this game apart from others are the weapons, they are very cool. One weapon a rail gun style shoots a large number of bullets in one shot which all richocet off walls and spray everywhere. You can also choose to shoot the entire clip, which floats in mid air, acting like a turret. Another weapon, the bullseys, allows the main character to fire a tracer tag bullet which, once placed, allows for every single shot to be homed in so the player can take cover while shooting as the bullets fly around the corner. There are many other weapons and I belive 5 which are unlocked after beating the game. Online, 40 players is chaos and is amazingly fun. This is the BEST launch game for the PS3, now we just have to wait for motorstorm!Read full review
Resistance: Fall of man is a unique First Person Shooter. It all started in the 1930's when the Chimera Invaded Russia. The Chimera released a virus, witch started turning the human race into Chimera. It was a very devastating virus to the Human Race. Soon, Reports of biological testing was leaking out of Russia. The US Thought the Russians had developed a weapon of Mass Destruction. That was far from the truth. The Chimera stayed in Russia for over a decade doing who knows what. Most likely Planning our demise. The chimera launched a assult that overwhelmed all of Europe in a matter of only weeks. For Several months we thought England was safe from the threat. But in 1950 the chimera burrowed under the channel. They had prepared for them, but in only 3 months time the war was lost. The cities were abonded to the chimera and the men that survived retreated to scattered military bases and outposts. The chimera had one! On July 11th 1951 the Americans realized the threat and launched a assult on the Eastern Coast of England. On the second wave of that assult there was a sergeant named Nathan Hale. The actions of that ranger have become a matter of both scrutiny and myth. What follows that are the known events of his life from July 11th to July 14th the day he was lost seen! That is the story. Then the game starts, you play as Nathan Hale. The game is not like other shooters. This one is very sci-fi like. It has a mix of real life guns, and alien guns. Its a very fun shooter. You can use techniques to lead the enemies to traps you laid with a gun that created a bubble like thing filled with gas. Then as they approach it explodes and kills them. You can also tag them with a laser type thing, take cover and shoot, and the bullets will follow them and hit them nomatter where they go. There are guns that shoot through walls, Guns that bounce off the walls, and even a nice sniper rifle! The game does have a interesting story line, but it has just as good game play! For a game that was created when the PS3 just came out, its very good. A MUST BUY! Only reason I rated it good, is because I thought the graphics could be better, and the game a little longer. Resistance 2 is coming out soon. Can't wait to see it. As for this game, I give it 9 out of 10 stars. BUY IT!Read full review
I purchased this game from someone on Ebay as a used item recently. I had heard it was a pretty good game, and I purchased it for a decent price. The story progresses at a good pace and is good; not excellent, but good. It is interesting and will keep you wondering more and more. The gameplay is great and the enemies are a decent challenge, and the weapons are really cool. Graphics are good, and I would recommend playing this game. It would be a better deal to buy it used from Ebay, rather than new. A good price would be $30 - $35 price range. If you are a fan of classic first person shooters, this is DEFINITELY FOR YOU. This game is like a Duke Nukem 3D remake with way better graphics and involved gameplay + storyline. The PS3 didn't come short at all on this one! Get it!
I wanted to buy this game for a long time. I liked the idea of a human vs. alien war in an alternate 20th century reality. I played the "Medium" difficulty setting and found the game not too difficult. The weapon control system in this game is very clumsy and hard to master. I found myself forgetting how to use weapons even towards the end of the game. Switching weapons during battle is tedious and can get you killed easily. The game is very repetitive, and lacks re-playability. The game also has no main bosses and leaves the most exciting tasks to cut-scenes instead of allowing the player to enjoy completing pivotal moments in the game. The "Easy" setting in the game was harder because you are given very little if any health re-charges/canisters during game-play. I thought easy meant easier to play not harder. If you win the entire game new weapons become available to you, but it seems a bit pointless because you have to play the game again to get them, and you lose all your existing weapons. Overall this game was very boring. Hopefully Resistance 2 learned from it's predecessor's mistakes.Read full review
Hi I've played the game about 20 times so far, theres not alot of negative things to say about it the single player is really good for a launch Title, the online works very well with massive 32 players online, the voice chat is setup exactly how it should be your given an option to join different voice chats with whomever you want on your team so if someone is being loud and annoying simply switch channels and bam free and clear, the gameplay is great weapons are different which is nice for a change. There is only one thing I can say that is bad and its not the games fault, Its the Playstation controller jeez that thing is aweful, when your using the thumbsticks your thumbs smash together becuase there not far enough apart, I mean come on Playstion you've been using this aweful style since the PSone, time to change it mkay, take some notes from xbox there controllers are made for first person shooters...Read full review
