Its ok. Jul 23, 2010
If you've played Area 51 , Time Splitters or the Suffering , you'll feel right at home playing this game. The gameplay is very similar Area 51 as are the graphics and some of the enemies are very similar to The Suffering enemies. There's nothing really groundbreaking about this game , but there's nothing bad enough to drive you away from it either if you can get it for a decent price.
In my opinion if you can get a copy for around $10 you should give it a try, any higher than that I'd give it a pass . If you've played many FPS's you won't find much new here .

The Best Single-Player Campaign Shooter... Possibly Ever. Jul 17, 2010
To begin with, I have to point out how dated this game is. But even a few years old, four to be exact, it still passes the test of time. You're probably asking yourself, what makes this game so great?

It's certainly not the graphics, not at this point. They're perhaps respectable but certainly not impressive anymore. It's basically everything besides the graphics, specifically the gameplay, storyline, strategy and flow.

Why is the gameplay so great? Everything seems natural and has ideal flow. The controls feel intuitive, the weapons are explained quickly and their use is easy. The health system is far more fun than the Call of Duty system where you never die and never need health packs. The game isn't particularly difficult if you're good at shooters, but you'll still die a few times, no matter what. The atmosphere of every level carries a creepy note and some can be downright frightening. It will literally fill you with a sense of dread. The enemies look great, scary but not too far-fetched. Their AI is about right. They'll sometimes fall back but other times, reckless attack is their method.

The variety of gameplay is also great. There are massive, open field battles in addition to the normal one-man hero style shooter mission. You can also drive/pilot several very original vehicles in the process. Being at the helm of a stalker is a true experience. The weapons are really innovative, specifically the Auger and Hailstorm. The sniper rifle is also well done. I also enjoyed using the shotgun, a classic even against futuristic alien-hybrids. But I do have a complaint here. The Auger can be very annoying when used against you because it can penetrate several walls and seemingly bounce into you randomly.

What about the story? It's nothing new to the science fiction arena. Humans get infected with a virus, though during WWII in this case, and become alien-like creatures. The explanations given throughout the course of the story explain everything, including how it happened, how/why there are different types etc. However, the very best thing about the story is the narration. It's given by a female character you meet early on, and will really get you involved in the game. It made me care in a way few games ever do.

Despite being a FPS, there is a bit of strategy in this game. Because health isn't usually hard to come by, there are often other practical considerations, specifically ammo. If you waste ammo, especially of the more powerful type, against weaker opponents, it will come back to bite you later on. You're also often better off killing enemies in a certain sequence a certain way that is counter-intuitive, e.g. going the harder route and being forced to kill more enemies but gaining more ammo in the process.

Last but not least, the game has superb flow. The way missions are interchanged is excellent. Some are non-stop shooting while others will require you to do a bit of searching before you can move on. You'll also rarely face super-powerful opponents who magically kill you with one hit. Instead, you'll face a myriad of weaker, but still strongly freakish enemies. Something I really liked about this game was how the missions seemed to get gradually more difficult until the very end. There are only a few missions that will be super challenging. They're very late in the game and this is by design.

One legitimate gripe is that the multi-player and co-op modes in this game are very run of the mill. They're nothing impressive. The manufacturer really tried to spice this up in the sequel but ended up ignoring the single-player campaigns in the process.

Overall, this game is one of the best ever in terms of the single-player campaign. I've beaten it once and will play it again, after I'm done with Resistance 2. For around $25, this is a PS3 must have.

The best shooter on PS3 back then Jul 15, 2010
Back when PS3 launched, there were not many good games out there. As I like shooters, I decided to give this one a shot. Simply put this game turned out MUCH BETTER than what I expected.

PROS.

-AWESOME ALIEN WEAPONS: Most of the first person shooters today have the same type of weapons, but Resistance has very unique set of alien weapons that will distinguish it from the rest of the average shooter. For example, with a gun named bullseye, you can tag an enemy and then regardless where it runs, your shots follow him. Another one is called Auger, that shoots bullets through the wall. And what I described is just tip of the ice burg.

-MORE ALIEN WEAPONS: There are some cool alien weapons that are not available during the first playthrough. But once you beat the game, during the second playthrough, you can obtain and use them. This truly adds to replayability of the game.

-VEHICLES: Other than weapons, you also get access to some cool human and alien vehicles. I can't tell you how awesome it feels to massacre hordes and hordes of enemies using devastating human tanks and giant alien fighters.

-DECENT VARIETY IN ENEMIES: While all of their faces are very similar, this game does a very good job with challenging you with a variety of enemies. This can be single unarmed chimera to giant chimeran monsters and chimeran vehicles. In brief, you won't get bored.

-PRETTY GOOD STORY: The story is about how Sergent Hale who is infected with Chimeran virus fights chimeran enemies while fighting infection itself. Unfortunately, I can't tell you much without spoiling, but story is simple and very nicely narrated. While it doesn't take huge twists, there are events that will get you curious about Hale and human race' fate.

-VARIETY OF AREAS: So many shooters these days have the same type of corridor like area over and over again. Not resistance though. You will pass through plenty of open fields, woods, buildings, cities and chimeran towers in this game.

-AWESOME MULTIPLAYER: You can fight as human vs human, human vs chimera and chimera vs chimera in different multiplayer modes. Being human and chimera introduce you distinct advantages and limitation making multiplayer very involved and deep.

-GREAT REPLAYABILITY: With multiplayer, different difficulty modes and second run through weapons, you will be playing this game for quite a while.

Like every game Resistance also has its limitation.

CONS

-YOUR HEALTH BAR: While some people may love it, I don't like health bar in shooters these days. It diverts me from the story experience and makes me focus on searching health packs. Really not big fan of it. This also kind of makes more challenging at times than what it needs to be.

-MINES: Hate mines. While it makes experience more real, parts of the game are frustrating because you will suddenly die because of them.

-COLORE TEXTURE: Graphics are awesome in this game, however, colors in general look a bit faded. Never the less the game still looks magnificent.

Contrary to minor flaws, this game truly delivers. Different alien weapons, vehicles and enemies will truly make this game an enjoyable experience that will make you coming back for more. Oh did I tell you that other than single player, it also has an awesome multiplayer?

Great game, but just hate the autosave only function Jul 06, 2010
I'm not going to go into detail on this game. That's been done before and very well. It's a great first person shooter, and is pretty much non-stop action. I played Fallout 3 before this, and that is my all time favorite game. After the play at your own pace, explore what you like style of play of Fallout 3, this was quite a change. You hardly get a chance to breathe without being attacked by something here. While I like the shooting and weapons, I absolutely hate games that don't let you save where you want to save a game. There is absolutely nothing more frustrating that to get through a difficult part (still no save), then find yourself getting killed in a second difficult part. Then there's the 'fun' of going back and doing both all over again. I'm just a casual gamer, who wants to have fun exploring, shooting, being entertained by the storyline, and NOT having to do whole scenes over again because my character got killed in the middle or end of the scene. So, for those of you who feel the same way, I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting into. Resistance:Fall of Man has only autosave positions, so you can not save the game when you want to. If I could save the game when I wanted to (like Fallout 3, Bioshock and Bioshock 2), I'd give this 5 stars, but it loses a star because it only has the autosave function. Too bad.

Finally got it, but not impressed Jun 01, 2010
I finally decided to get a ps3, and started by ordering all of the "best" games so far. Killzone 2, Resistance, Littlebig Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous and Uncharted. Being that this was the console exclusive killer game i played through this first.
Two words
Not satisfied. I found the graphics lacking (though i admit the game came out 3 years ago, and games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted seem to do ALOT more with the PS3's graphical potential. My biggest complaint was the gameplay itself, it just felt like a really standard shooter. I also had a problem with it feeling "floaty" like older shooters where your character and weapons had no "weight". Its hard to explain, but take a modern shooter like Killzone 2 or the call of duty series, it feels more 'real' in that you are actually running, aiming etc, this game it felt too loose and slidey,where at a dead sprint my character just felt liek they were sliding along the map, this is even with turning the sensitivity down.
I thought the SP campaign had a cool concept, with a neat alternate story line. I didnt like the levels, they felt WAY too linear (Killzone and Call of Duty are linear as well, but this game made me fell like I was navigating a rat maze the whole time) A few later maps felt alot better (its seems to be the game did get better as it got along, as if the last few levels were the last few done, with the highest polish, I seriously dread that first level when I crank through this on a higher difficulty, it felt bland)
Didnt spend more thena few hours on it, but the MP felt the same.
I must admit, there is something good there, and I AM going to buy the sequal on the promises that its bigger, badder and more epic.
All in all, a used copy for 20 bucks is a better deal then the Greatest hits for 30.
