    Solid FPS that's a little linear, but a nice selection of inventive weaponry and an interesting scenario makes it a cut above the herd.

    I guess I was too hyped for this game by reading all positive reviews from 2007... I was absolutely let down by almost everything in Resistance. But first things I liked: Setting - general idea of chimera war is brilliant. Guns - not all of them but most are fun. Design of early stages and design of enemies.

Design of early stages and design of enemies. Now beside those few good aspects, game is actually horrific... Gameplay loop is insanely boring you are doing the same thing for straight 11 hours without almost any twist of story or gameplay! Maybe if this game were 6 or 5 hours long it wouldn't be such bad experience... When the game is showing lack of creativity after first 3 missions and you've seen almost everything in terms of story telling, enemys, locations, guns and gameplay experiences it's hard to keep someone engaged for such a long time. Graphics is obscure and disgustingly blurry. Washed out colors, blurry textures and generic locations. It's really sad how this game is unplayable in 2023. And I will not even mention the controls. I can't really recommend this game to anyone. I would love to see a good remake of first Resistance, because in this state it's really hard to enjoy this game... As much as I wanted to love this game at first, I really hated it at the end.… Expand

    This game is a mess. Every enemy is an annoying bullet sponge. The controls are horrible with minimal customization. This was painful to get through.

    Resistance é uma subestimada franquia da Sony que começa bem, mas envelheceu bem mal. Os inimigos serem esponjas de balas e a falta de checkpoints que dificultam a jogatina dos jogadores tornam a experiência um pouco menos prazerosa do que poderia ser. Porém, com uma boa história, boa jogabilidade e gráficos insanos (para a época), Resistance é uma joia subestimada para poucos.

    I'm always salty about fall of man, but playing it and comparing it to the other games in the series is almost intolerable, however, it was still an amazing start to a franchise I love a lot. I enjoyed it, including the different modes it offered.

    Graphically outdated, the gameplay is slow. Some parts of the game are unnecessarily hard. The story is a BIT predictable. However as usual with Insomniac, weapons are fantastic and the design of the Chimera is awesome, they make for a memorable enemy, there was a LOT of wasted potential on how they could've presented them, where the story could've gone.

One thing that slightly bothers me is they never patched a trophy list, as someone who enjoys trophy hunting I find that frustrating. Definitely a difficult game, if you don’t plan it’s going to mean a death, most likely even if you do plan you will die a decent amount of times. The checkpoints are very far along intervals, so it can be frustrating having to play the harder portions multiple times. I wouldn’t play it again, but it entertained me enough to play the rest of the series.… Expand

    I'd give it a 7.5 five but i can't so i'm rounding down. The game has a fast gunplay kinda like doom but it has problems with the weapon variety. Out of the 7 or so weapons you'll use just 2 90% of the time because of the unviability of the other, either being too slow or just the lack of firepower.

    Plot itself is interesting, its presentation is boring, cut scenes are minimal. Sometimes game is too hard due to lack of cover system with full recovery of HP, and all this against the high complexity of enemies, so you often need to play very save, which is not fun.

    The framerate is really bad, never going above 30 which is nowhere close to enough for a shooter especially and there is no mouse and keyboard support forcing you to play with a controller which is a horrendous method of playing an FPS. The worst part is that the game rarely accounts for these issues and many of the combat encounters are structured as if you have proper control which you can only dream of. Some of the combat encounters have the problem of putting enemies in a way where they can very often get cheap shots on you. It is just a huge shame, really.
    What the game does get right is the weapons. They are not perfect but you have a good mix of different weapons that fill different roles. Especially the Auger is interesting and engaging to use. The ammo balance isn't the best though so you will find yourself often being empty on some weapons for extended periods of time while walking over ammo pick ups that you have no space for with other weapons even if you use them during that time. I genuinely wonder why they put excessive amounts of shotgun ammo in wide open spaces as well.
    The vehicle sections don't feel very good either. It is surprising considering Insomniac have made some good side gameplay in their previous titles.
    I really want to love this game but whenever I go in for a hug, it knees me in the balls and that is just something I can not ignore.
    Lots of potential, shame they never brought the franchise to PC where this game could have turned out a lot better. Maybe the sequel will do better in the aspects that were not determined by the terribly unfitting choice of platform.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resistance fall of man was a launch title for the ps3 and when i think of it like that its easy to see how this game got raving reviews. but seeing as i played this for the first time in 2019. i lack those nostalgia glasses.

    Story/characters: the story has its merits , a ww2 style alien invasion that's also a viral infection. its different enough that i can say iv not seen anything like it before. the concept is good but the characters fall by the way side. nathan hale the main character its a mostly silent soldier with no real motivations. other than nathan there is only really 2 characters Rachel who's the narrator and is pretty much there for exposition and that exposition feels sorta misleading, shes constantly talking about how shes worried about nathan turning into a chimera but he never dose (maybe in the sequel). and then some sniper dude they tried to kill off for "emotional" effect " but i don't even remember his name.
    Story: 5/10

    World building: sony's shooters seem to be packed full with lore , killzone and now resistance. the chimera are a very interesting enemy, and i have many questions about them that went un answered a lot was un answered in this game but i digress . i think the weapon design is great to arm a fictional army you will need a believable fictional weapon and i can very much believe that america in the 1950s had skipped ww2 had invented a rifle similar to the m14 witch is a Vietnam war rifle and it was this little attention to detail i appreciated even if it might have been a fluke. but the chimera weapons are the most well thought out and i though they were rather clever in function even if they looked a little to complicated. and in a shooter yes the lore behind the guns is important. the locals are ripped out of real life. similar to fallouts world but an alternate history that creates an alternate future.
    World building 8/10

    Graphics: this game has not aged well at all. its clearly a launch title, textures are good enough i guess and lighting is ok but it just doesn't look like what im use to on the ps3. the animations in the cut scenes feel like some one put the game on fast forward but only at 0.25x fastforward. so they are super awkward but you wont notice how awkward for the first hour or so of this game. i do like the games visual style even if the tech is not very impressive
    Graphics: 6/10

    Gameplay: playing this game was fun. insomniac knows how to make games fun. each gun has an alt fire, most of the human weapons have what you would expect for alt fires (grenade launcher double shot , scope in ) but the chimera weapons have very interesting effects like how the auger makes a shield and you can shoot through the shield but also see through it. and i had alot of fun using that gun and i think that certain game play mechanic could have been improved and it make me kinda look forward to resistance 2. playing this on the ps3 actually felt great and was really well optimized and was smooth the whole way through witch is something i really appreciated
    Gameplay: 7.8/10

    Sound design: the voice acting is actually pretty decent and i was pleasantly surprised with it considering this game came out in 2006. the sound effects are great as well i love the sounds the chimera weapons make they sound satisfying and other worldly. the music how ever is just adequate it dose its job sure but the music feels to this game what a Toyota camery is to cars. solid reliable car but boring. its alot of percussion and what feels like war time themes. but no tracks stood out to me
    sound design: 7/10

    5+8+6+7.8+7=33.8
    33.8/5 = 6.76

    this game has not aged well at all. but it was a quality made game by a respected studio and has aged better than most. for a ps3 launch title i think it was a success. alot can be improved and the sequels witch iv yet to play give me some hope    … Expand

Resistance: Fall of Man is one of the best first-person shooters of all time.… Expand

    Good fps, has some character to it, looks more then decent and it's fun to use all the different weapons on the variety of enemies. I don't play a lof of fps's but this played well and the controls were good. I liked the healing system as well.

However, what does come as a surprise is that this game does not include Ratchet or a lovable robot sidekick named Clank nor does it support a lavishly comedic and cartoony overworld. This game is Resistance Fall of Man and it kicks serious human/alien hybrid butt! Hats off to Insomniac for having the versatility and skill to step outside their comfort zone of colorful characters and sarcastic one liners set in an E rated third person world to go with something a little more dark, a little more adult. In terms of setting and characters Resistance is the antithesis of Ratchet and Clank, it is a gloomy albeit spectacular setting splashed with a fittingly washed out color pallet of grey and greyer. The world is beautifully ugly with its war torn colorless version of alternate history WWII England. The art direction while mired by some wonderfully depicts the bleak desperateness of war with crumbling buildings, dilapidated 1940's cars lining the streets, and vicious alien hybrids snarling about. Yes, a wonderfully rendered and possibly the best alternate history WWII setting ever created. With a frighteningly scary and ferocious antagonist dubbed (the Chimera) an alien/human hybrid originating from a virus within the walls of a fictional Russia finally breaking out after a ten year incubation period and deadset on devouring europe. These fierce enemies are daunting and numerous while physically imposing they stand seven feet tall with claws and razor sharp teeth, all this with the adeptness to accurately shoot superior weaponry, organize, and sometimes even out think their opponents. The Chimera shine as an all time foe with advanced AI and a varied attack from flanking to simply rushing the opponent with the ferocity of an angry, drunken ex husband. These killing machines come in many different sub species each designed to excel in different areas offering a multitude of ways to kill you. You are the protagonist American soldier and soon to be legend Nathan Hale and you are a badass. Hale is a great character though a little stiff and lacking emotion those are likely traits one would need to survive in that hell. Early into the game a great plot twist arises as you become the sole survivor. Hale is supported in battle by a bastion of nondescript british soldiers who ultimately become human target practice. In contrast his allies shine in a feisty british army captain who teams with Hale in many of the games missions but the real star is Rachel Parker. As british intelligence Rachel Parker narrates the entirety of the game as if she is telling a vaunted story. With a beautifully accented voice and convincing dialogue she also appears in many cutscenes and steals the show.The single player is paced well and comes in at a respectable ten plus hours with few huge boss fights but many mini boss fights. The combat is fast and aggressive and starkly different from Gears of War style fps's with much of the games cover at least semi destructable, and dont take cover behind cars for too long as they will eventually blow up. Surely Insomniac has influenced a generation of developers with the amazing weapon creativity and pure funness they are to weild with new deadlier and weirder guns which can only be found in multiple play throughs As well the game boasts a Ratchet e Clank type skill point system where you are rewarded for completing a variety of objectives from killing enemies with a certain gun to finding all 37 intel items to turning foes into meat cubes.It also includes a 12 gun weapon wheel letting you carry a small armory with you which is needless to say awsome considering just how cool these weapons are, and you will need them all as they are all unique.This game is not a typical WWII fps or a sterile Halo game, it has realism and truly interesting subject matter unlike the steriod infused fun but rather ungripping tale that is Gears of War. It is more interesting than Call of Duty and has a MUCH better gun arsenal than any of them. Besides one gun in Gears of War all other AAA FPS guns pale in comparison to most of the Resistance guns. If you claim to be a ps3 fan it should have been a day1 buy. The multiplayer is solid and lag free and supports great perks as well as on or offline coop. 9.75/10 for originality and interesting subject matter, great innovative guns, satisfying art direction, great voice acting, tight gun play, fun skill point system, replayability, and well conceived multiplayer. This game is timeless and will hold up in any generation congrats to Insomniac for flipping the script on us and crafting a great new IP and creating a new fascinating world of fiction.… Expand

    This was the first FPS i ever played. At that time i found it amazing. I will now give a honest review. So it is pretty much a basic shooter. You have a gun and have to move forward and shoot every alien there is in your way. And then there is some special levels where you have to control a tank. Or other things. You get new guns with new special abilities and you can carry all the guns.This was the first FPS i ever played. At that time i found it amazing. I will now give a honest review.

The story is the standard the aliens are taking over the world story and the person you play as have a strange connection to them that we all know so well. So what makes me give it a 7 out of 10? Well, the atmosphere is very good. In the game there is some levels where you are alone. And the dark corridors and creepy music fits the game very well at those points of the game... Actually the music and the atmospher just fits the game in general. And the enemy variation is great. I loved and still love how there suddenly comes a new enemy out you've never seen before and have to kill. There was some awesome scary moments where some slow enemys could come up behind you and jump in your face. But i did also feel that there was to few if them. One of the things i loved most of the game was that there was a coop mode. So you could play the cool campaing with one of your friends. There is also a multiplayer mode but it is not really that good. It was just to out dated. But i did love playing vs mode with my friends.

The incredible, versatile, and creative arsenal that you have at your disposal is a blast to play around with. Resistance truly gives the player tools of destruction to blast quickly through hoards of enemies, making each encounter blisteringly fast paced instead of a dull and boring. The most commendable feature of Resistance is the art direction. Aside from the surprisingly sharp graphics (that trump some games of today), the looming Chimeran structures in the distance and the incredible amounts of detail gone into the creatures and world itself is truly astounding. Browns, greys, and blacks fill the color pallet, but I only feel that this is frowned upon due to playing so many other "brown FPS" games in recent years. Insomniac has some brilliantly creative minds. There are times when Resistance begins to tear at the seams, and difficulty spikes near the end prove frustrating and cheap, but Resistance: Fall of Man is a highly polished and exciting FPS that delivers all the intensity, intrigue, and chaos of a top tier FPS. And it's so cheap now, it's almost a crime not to give it a try!… Expand

    Resistance Fall of Man (RES) is a good game, no doubt. Above all the features online are perfects, no track of lag or problem. If you play with your friends, RES will conquer you.

    While graphically not as stunning as, say, Uncharted or Metal Gear Solid 4, the unique setting, rich and gripping storyline, just plain fun guns, terrifying and brilliant enemy design, cunning AI and vibrant and fun multiplayer make this a brilliant game. In addition, between the Skill points, unlockable weapons and collectable intel, here is ample material to allow much replay value.

    I really dont understand how this game can have a higher user rating than a game like gta 4! Its not a bad game, but what it is is very average, people sometimes put it on a par with halo 3, which i would agree with, but then halo 3 is really very average too!

    This game is by far one of the best PS3 games ever, Starts rather bland with a great story building behind it. Midway, The game's narrative starts to drive the game and the level design gets way better, As a cross platform gamer, Owning all three modern consoles.. I can say this is better than Halo 3, And most 360 FPS's. Don't let your console pride blind you from great games.

    This game reminds me of Halo 3. Yes, it's fun to play and is good, but was overhyped to the max and doesn't bring anything new to the FPS genre. Just like Halo, if it weren't as hyped up as it was, it would be in the middle of the FPS ladder. Somewhat disappointing.

Not to mention the multiplaye, which with its Call of Duty esque rewards system as one progresses though the ranks and a still active online community provide hours of gaming. Graphically it is a bit weak, although it must be taken into account that this was a PS3 launch title. Furthermore it was Insomniac's first shot at a shooter (no pun intended). About 3/4 of the way through the game ramps up in difficulty and the color palette becomes trite, but until then it holds your attention. A 'alternate universe' storyline provide a better backdrop than any other WWII shooter, and while the cutscenes between levels are simply boring slideshows, the gameplay in between is action-packed. The game is certainly a must play for any PS3 owner or shooter fan, and although it may not have the same credentials as a Call of Duty or Halo, give it a shot...you will like it.… Expand

    The graphic are quite good but not superb which for me is the only reason this game doesn't get 10 out of 10. The storying line has quite a few twists and is quite detailed. The storyline is also a breath of fresh air, this game is superb considering that this is a release title and this game won't be topped for a while

Here are my The game is one of the best FPS games I've played (not many as I'm not a super fan of the genre), with an engaging story telling, mixing animation and great artwork. Voice acting is also great, specially Rachel Parker, a Captain he helps rescuing from the Chimera. Rachel follows Nathan over the radio during the hole game, giving him directions and tips of what to do. Here are my scores: Graphics:8.0 The game looks gorgeous, I'd say it really shows the PS2 and the XBox are in an old generation of consoles, but it turns out that it is also far from using the full power of the PS3. The expressions on Nathan Hale's face are not really involving, for a guy who is going through some really had times, he lacks some personality in his expressions. The colors in the game are pale, giving it a gloomy feel that you would expect in a game picturing a war in England during the 50's, it really makes you feel like you are in seeing images from the past, just brilliant. The models for the weapons, the chimera, the vehicles, the buildings and the other environmental stuff are very well rendered and detailed, there is a part of the game where it is snowing, if you spin around, you will really get a very nice sense of relative movement. One thing that was really bad is that while playing, your character is not a fully rendered body, but just a gun and and a hand, you might be asking, how did I noticed that if the game is in first person, well try to find a corner than look all the way down, you will understand. Story: 9.0 This is the best part, because during the entire game they keep showing you bits and peaces of a whole, that you will still be unaware in the end of the game. This gives them a lot of ground to work on more titles that unfold the real background behind the chimera. Even though the animations of Hale look too plain and without feeling, it's Rachel who tells the story, with her very truthful British accent and emotion enough for you to forget about the rest. The story makes you want go through the game just to see how it will turn out and leaves you wanting to know the answers to a lot of questions. As this is a franchise, this is actually a good thing. Sound: 7.5 The battle field does sound like it should and the quiet areas to, what it does bad is that if you step slowly on a surface it will make the same noise as if you were jumping. While this is great to give you the scares if you are trying sneak in quiet scenarios, it detracts a lot from the realism you expect in the sound of today games. The surround sound works well, but it's just a good sounding game, not great, not superb, not perfect. Gameplay: 8.5 Fun, rewarding and fast paced. I am not super into FPS games, I'm more of a sneaking kind of guy, but in Resistance, I have to admit that I really enjoyed going berserk at the times the game forced me to. If you, on the other hand, love to go crazy shooting all that moves, you will love this game, specially because friendly fire is ON. The AI is great at times, the enemies will take cover when under fire and will attack you with grenades while you are under cover, but there are many times when you are able to shoot a chimera slowly to death without seeing any sort of reaction. Some chimera have different behavior, being more aggressive and visceral, trying to attack you no matter what, these are the best times to use your good and old shotgun. When playing coop, the game does some funny (weird) stuff, as it is check point triggered, when you hit a check point area, the game will force your buddy there by teleporting him there and as the campaign is the same as the single player, only in vertical split screen mode, the game totally ignores the other character, story wise, as if he never existed. Generally, if you are covered, you don't have to worry about enemies shooting at you, unless they guys are shooting with a weapon called Auger, which can go through anything. This really adds to the game play, forcing you take action instead of hiding when you have these kinds of enemies around. Sniping is just great, with special headshot animations and a special effect that I will not spoil here. There is also different animations when you kill them by shooting their legs, the effect is really good. One other problem I noticed, is that you cannot hold the grenade for a while to maximize the damage, but at the same time it was cool to see chimeras jumping away in order to scape my grenades. I wish Hale could do that too. There are lots of unlockables in the game which became available (you get a message on scree) when you accomplish certain things, too bad trophies are yet to come. Interactivity: 7.0 Yeah, I can play PS2 games where I go through vegetation or other things without it moving, but on the PS3... sorry guys, I want you to animate the environment, it could be a simple animation like the ones we had in Metal Gear Solid 3, but yes, I want the environment to interact with me, when I throw an RPG in a wall, it is ok with me if it doesn't collapse, but I need it to show some damage. I really hope to see a game where you can shoot a tree to make it fall over a house giving you an alternative way to access another area of the map without making the game a sandbox. Multiplayer: 7.5 The offline campaign is super fun to play with a friend, even though, as I already said, the game pretends Nathan's friend is not there, but the choice of making it Vertical splitscreen wasn't really for my taste, I know this is a compromise, either horizontal or vertical, you will end up loosing area, but I personally rather see my enemies than a little bit more of the sky. On the online part, it is a lot like Quake, you got a good variety of weapons, energy packs, ammo... and many guys to shoot but I have to tell you, I was destroyed in the matches I've participated, so it wasn't really fun for me.… Expand

    The game is not worth getting, the graphics are alright and so is the plot but the AI is so dumb that it is an insult calling them AI, the flashlight is quite annoying and there is a massive similarity with Half Life 2, Gears of war, Quake 4 and Doom 3(which are all way better than this). The multiplayer is quite bad with really random maps with pointless designs

    This is a completely sub-par, average title at best, that brings 0% new to the table. Multiplayer is very poorly designed. I think majority of these reviews were when it first came out and no one had a PS3 game to compare too.

    From start to finish, Fall of Man is one hell of an outstanding roller coaster ride that every last PS3 owner needs for day one...Above all else, it's the multiplayer elements that truly ascend this one to the next level. It's a must have for sure.

    When you kill an enemy it doesn't disappear and when you blow up part of the near fully destructible environments the pieces don't go away either. The obvious power of the PS3 and the masterful coding work of the developers let everything stay on screen all the time while never taking a frame hit. This is an incredible accomplishment for a launch game on any system. [JPN Import]

    Resistance falls a little short of being the hoped-for "Halo-killer," but with a package that would be considered complete by any standards, it delivers a launch classic, and it lives up to its billing as the PS3's killer app.
