I didn't get the PS3 for Resistance: Fall of Man, but it was the best game out for the system in January 07 when I got the PS3, and it holds up well against most other shooter on any other system. That's mostly because it takes most of the best features from other good shooters and blends them together for a smooth experience.
The single player part of the game is all I'll talk about because I haven't really played the multiplayer. The single player campaign is fast moving and fun. Blasting aliens never gets old, especially when you can use some very cool weapons.
The weapons operate and sound amazing, but I really missed the rumble in the Sixaxis. The game is fairly immersive, being in a first person perspective. The controls are accurate and easy. The PS3 Sixaxis controller is great, but I thought that some control assignments were somewhat odd. Changing weapons, for instance, is something that took some getting used to. However, the shoulder buttons are put to good use, either for alternate fire or throwing grenades. Movement in the game is smooth and the levels are very nicely laid out.
Graphics are amazing, and there is so much detail. The picture on my HDTV is crisp, but that is not what sets the graphics in this game apart from almost all 360 games in my collection (besides GoW). It is the sheer amount of things being drawn and the many things going on around my character in the game. Explosions, men running, shooting, etc. all combine to make Resistance: Fall of Man on of the most "busy" shooters I've played. Unfortunately, there isn't much interaction between whats going on and what I'm doing, which is the same for any FPS, blasting enemies.
Enemy A.I. isn't that great, but there is enough of a challenge for me. The game is still suspenseful and exciting, but not exactly difficult. The parts where I die are usually because I didn't see a trap or ambush. The second time around is a breeze, but this keeps the games story moving along at a rapid pace.
The story is standard, if not muddled a bit, and narrated by a British chick. She tells about events that had happened, and you play them out with the main character, who has little to no personality. This is an FPS afterall, so who needs personality, right? Actually, I appreciated it in Gears of War, with Fenix and his issues. I'll tell ya one thing I really miss, it's taking cover behind stuff . . .
Resistance: FoM is a good, fun shooter that is keeping me quite busy and entertained while I wait for several other titles to come to the PS3. It is an above average shooter that you won't regret playing.
