Resistance: Fall Of Man PS3

boring
i think this game is highly overrated, its so dull and boring and the graphics are like ps1 status, give me a break, this game is garbage. im going to go play bioshock, peace.

Better than most but ultimately nothing new
I’m a little late to finish this one up now that Cod4 and Assassins Creed are both out but I was an xbox 360 guy for the initial ps3 launch. When they came out with the cheaper 40gb model, I gave it the upgrade. So I decided to get the launch title and that meant resistance. I immediately disliked it. I expected way too much from the next generation platform ps3 in the graphics department. I admit that I was spoiled by Gears of War graphics on the 360. now that may have been asking too much since the 360 was a mature platform when GoW was released and the PS3’s cell processor was too new for a launch title to fully leverage it.

That said, I perservered on and I have to admit that there is a lot to like about the game… namely the storyline, it’s fairly rich and involved even if it isn’t terribly unique. The best thing about the game were the wide open battlefield sequences. it was a lot to load in ram and the player is free to walk throughout, without game loading pauses. It was a good first for me.

So ultimately it was a decent enough game. A worthy launch title, though it feels rushed in places and the end battle was a bit of a letdown. I’ll reserve judgement for Resistance 2, scheduled to be launched fall of this year [08]. Ideally Insomniac will have more maturity working with the architecture and will really wow the gamer. I’m looking forward to continuing the story.
