Our Editorial Review
Product Description Resistance: Fall Of Man takes you back in time to an early 20th century that's very different from our own. Through brute force, a species of unknown origin known only as the Chimera have conquered Asia and most of Europe in mere decades. Seeing the risk of annihilation, the United States supports the British Resistance in a European counterattack. The story follows Hale, a US Ranger, as he struggles for survival and desperately seeks a means to eliminate the Chimeran blight.
Amazon.com In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horric scourge -- the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera. In mere decades this race has ripped apart populations across Asia and Europe and by 1951 has landed on the shores of England. You play the part of US a Army Ranger, fighting alongside a group of British resistance soldiers to free the country from the Chimera and to halt their spread across the globe.

War is everywhere and everything in Resistance. An alien race began toying with the planet just after Word War I and in mere decades, the Chimera Ð a species of unknown origin propagating a virus that converts other life forms into more Chimera Ð has overrun Russia and all of Europe. HumanityÕs hope for survival is slim, and the tide of the battle rests on the shoulders of U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale. The Chimera didn't plan to take this protracted war lying down, however, and amassed their forces in Russia. Once Russia was captured, they quickly erected a wall around the former country, rebuking all efforts at communication or contact. While the world waited and wondered what other terrors might spill from the wall, England prepares for and falls to a major Chimera invasion in 1951. The United States comes to aid their English allies, but all does not go as planned. The next three days will see some of the most intense fighting the war has known thus far, and it's up to you to end the Chimera threat before the plague of defeat can encircle the globe. Next-generation gameplay and style
The gameplay of Resistance is classic First Person Shooter. Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with a proprietary physics system to create unique human and alien weaponry. Many of the weapons of the game are era-appropriate, such as pistols and grenades. Other weapons, such as the Chimeran Auger, are of alien design. Due to the differences in the ways that the various weapons handle, great care must be taken when entering an area infested with Chimera with their own weaponry. In addition to the obvious array of weapons, players can use melee attacks and jump to avoid attack. Special game actions, called "Skill Tasks," are worth set number of points that can be spent to unlock new content in the game. A Skill Task may be something as simple as killing a number of enemies in a short period of time or as involved as locating a hidden area in the single player campaign. The mystery of the tasks, however, is that they aren't actually revealed until you have completed the task. This makes for a great reply incentive, as you will be mowing down Chimera and be suddenly rewarded with task points, often when you least expect the reward. Obviously, presentation is one of the areas in which Resistance shines. The frame rate is silky-smooth, and never seems to get bogged down when there is a large number of Chimera or teammates on screen. Animations are believable, the locations are detailed, and the voice acting is top-notch. Explosions are especially impressive, sending shrapnel and smoke in all directions. If you're looking for a game to impress your friends with graphically, look no further. Resistance is the type of game that makes you feel confident about the future of the PLAYSTATION 3. Track stats and more online
Resistance also boasts an impressive 40 player online multiplayer mode. It's not uncommon to find large-scale battles with both intricate strategy and simple "run and gun" play styles. Created and managed jointly by Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment, MyResistance.net is the official online community destination for Resistance: Fall of Man. At MyResistance.net, players can view their multiplayer stats in near-real time, participate in forums with other fans, download unlockable content and more.

Okay Posted 17 March 2007
I want to rate this game higher, but I just can't because I've been spoiled by pc shooters. Now, this game is fun, and I do play it and enjoy it. However, it's more in a throw-back to old times way than anything else. The graphics are rather ho-hum, but then again I feel the same way about gears of war. Everyone raves about the graphics of that game, but compared to F.E.A.R or Oblivion, or even Half-life 2, Gears isn't anything special. Granted I'm comparing high-end PC games to console games, so the consoles are generally going to lose, especially since the consoles are only in 720p at the moment.
The A.I is stupid. I don't know why people think that it is great... You can sneak up on them from the side, where a lot of other games would see you. Even if this was realistic, when you start shooting them, they will sometimes just stand there being stupid and not reacting. They will try to find cover and hide, but they rarely come after you. When they do, one will come after you, get mowed down, then his buddy does exactly the same thing... Not exactly the next-gen A.I I was hoping for.
The actual gameplay is nothing original, but I find myself playing it and enjoying it, so overall it isn't a bad game, just not as unbelievable as a lot of people think. I would recommend everyone to try it. It is probably one of the best games for the PS3, just not one of the best FPS games period. If you don't have a high end computer, and haven't played one of the games I mentioned above, you probably won't have the problems I notice, but if you have, then realize the gameplay will feel a little old hat.
Exciting 1st shooter game Posted 16 March 2007
Excellent game that will keep you on the edge of your seat! 5 stars!!
worth owning Posted 12 March 2007
Resistance: Fall of Man is one of the few Playstation 3 games that's actually worth owning. Everything you like about mission-based World War II games is included here, including wonderful graphics, great play control, a variety of weapons where each one is unique, interesting strategies required to master in order to make progress, etc. This is the best game so far on the Playstation 3.
Fall of Man Posted 11 March 2007

Amazing, incredible, fantastic, unbelievable! Posted 10 March 2007
This game is the best game of the year by far! The graphics are excellent and the environments are SOO immense and realistic. You would be hard pressed to find a better game out there. If you thought GoW was good, play RFOM and be prepared for your JAW TO DROP, and to have your SOCKS KNOCKED OFF!
