The games for the PS3 do not seem to have very many 2 player games that DON'T require internet. Which is one reason I enjoyed this game so much, because it was an actual two player game and both players could play the entire storyline (not just certain chapters like some games that say they are two player). My boyfriend and I loved playing this game. The graphics are pretty good, the storyline isn't bad, even though I would like to skip over the whole 'movie scenes' that they do and get back to the actual game.

Overall, this game is fun and I thought it was worth the money.

Excellent game, or at least for me. No deficiencies in the game. Perfect arrival condition.Resistance: Fall of Man PS3

Playing this game today makes this seem like old graphics, but at the time these were the new and high end graphics. I love this game so much. The best part is how awesome it is playing the campaign split screen. It says you can play up to 4 players split screen but I only have 3 controllers and it hasn't been working with 3. Maybe you can only play with 1, 2 or 4 players. The game can be kinda challenging, especially at the beginning before you regenerate any health. I wish you didn't have to pick up health but its not so bad. (You pick up health and you also regenerate 1 4th of your health). The chimera are so cool and I have the second game too. I highly recommend this game. I can almost call it a classic but it is still kinda next gen. BUY THIS!

This was a launch title for the PS3 by one of my favorite developers; Insomniac. The single player campaign is the best in the series so far but the multiplayer was definitely improved upon in Resistance 2. The multiplayer in this one is still a blast, however, and it is an excellent game.

When I bought my PS3 back in 2006, this was the first game I had played since selling my 1st generation Playstation nearly 15 years ago, to focus on my studies. Boy was it addictive then and still holds my interest 3 years later. Many a weekend night was spent in front of the TV that first month I played it. More than any other game I've played or even heard of, I'd love to see Hollywood turn this game into a movie. The WWII setting, provided the perfect ambience for the storyline and the graphics look great even on a 100 inch screen. I've played through the storymode 7 times now, I've achieved the highest rank in online play, and I wouldn't change a thing, other than make a better sequel than Resistance 2 delivered.

Before I start my review I have to say that I didn't play this game until 2010, by which time it was several years old. I missed out on most of the first generation PS3 games because I didn't buy one until MGS4 was released. I just wanted to give a time frame to my review as this game would have been much better when released.

That said if you are reading a review now I would guess its because you are contemplating picking this game up for the first time. The story line and the action are good and Resistance has a lot going for it. The ability to play split screen coop is really a great addition. But the graphics feel very dated as does the control set up. With games like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 pushing graphics beyond what we thought possible just a few years ago, it makes Resistance feel even more dated. The control layout is also not as intuitive as many other games. Granted I've been spoiled by the CoD series but even so I think its something that could have been better thought out.

The story line is very interesting, if you are after a shooter with a story and not just mindless carnage the whole Resistance time line is very interesting. You come across things in your adventures that also explain things more and more and while some of it is a little cliche the story has aged better than the game play has.

With the top tier games out now a days I'd have to say I'd recommend a pass on this for most people. Those who would like to play Resistance 2 and have the whole story might want a play through but most other would be better served elsewhere.

RFOM is a pretty generic game, it's not memorable at all (IMO). The only thing this game has going for it is weapons (which is no surprise as the devs are the one who made "Ratchet and Clank") and the enemy design which are some of the best I've seen; the "Chimera" are gruesome beings and have an intimidating look to them there are many different kinds which keeps things fresh. But the games level design and use of colors really made me go "meh" the games colors are in a drab gray outlook which makes sense due to the era its set in but the colors can really wear off on you after a while in a boring monotonous way. The story although unique needed a better way of telling it narration is ok but its throughout the whole game and just takes you out of the character your playing as "Nathan Hale" it is a first person shooter so it should have a engaging story with more character development. RFOM is fun but the gameplay is too familiar with many of the missions you've probably seen in other similar games. But its still a fun game, but its only a small taste of what the PS3 had to offer.

Overview:
A first person shooter set in post-WWII Europe. Srg. Nathan Hale is part of an american task force that was sent to Great Britain in order to investigate the silence of the country. Players play through Hale's journys as he joins up with british resistance in order to fight the vicious chimeran invaders.

STORY: Not bad: the concept is interesting enough, and one is intruged while fighting different types of Chimeran creatures and machines; no noticible characters really besides Hale.
3/5

GRAPHICS: Not bad at all, more gore would have been appropriate.
4/5

GAMEPLAY: -The first few levels blow you away and suck you into the story, but get redundant and boring towards the end.
-The weapons both humans and chimeran are interesting but are collected and can be used at any time:this can make the game seem unrealistic.
-Health is lost and gained via placed health packs which will prove to be a great annoyance if there is not one nearby.
3/5


RE-PLAYABILITY: Multi-player is boring and annoying. The campaign can be somewhat entertaining the second time around but quickly becomes redundant and boring yet again.
2/5

Score:12/20= 60% Grade:B+

Recommendation: Buy a cheap used copy or rent.

One thing before I review this on my reviews with 2 or 3 parts to the people who mark it negitive just cause it has 2 or 3 parts and not because you disliked or disagreed with the review All I have say to the haters f**k you! If you mark it negitive cause you disliked or disagreed w/ it that's fine. If you find a review helpful thank you. Just read all the parts of the review. Anyway this was the 1st PS3 game I purchased in early 07. Resistance Fall of Man the sory there is this alien life form called the Chimera they have taken over Russia and migrated into Europe and have invaded the last European country England the U.S sent 12,000 troops but were over ran by some kind of bug that infected them with the Chimeran virus The only survivor is Nathan Hale and had been infected with the Chimeran virus and is part Chimera.You battle through England to stop the Chimera from taking over the last European country. This isn't just another FPS it's got likeable characters Hale Parker Cartwright.
