Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance: Fall of Man
my rating: 9 out of 10
This is the first game I’ve played on the Playstation 3. It is marvelous. Though it doesn’t exactly blow the Halo series out of the water, it is a fun play.

I think one of the main reasons I liked this game so much is because I wasn’t sure what to expect since it was developed by Insomniac Games who of course are responsible for the whole ‘Ratchet & Clank’ universe which is very dear to my heart. It’s just that R&C is a platformer as well as cartoony and very stylized, where Resistance is a FPS and has an extremely darker tone. Overall I was very satisfied with the whole package. AI was decent, the enemies were fierce and unique and the weapons were very cool with that futuristic twist on a WWII setting.

My only beef was the plot. Basically I don’t know who I am, and why I’m doing what I’m doing. During the cut-scenes all I got was a monologue of some creepy British chick giving splotchy plot points at best. It was kind of like watching a movie with a weird and/or confusing plot, but you don’t care because the action and the visuals are so freakin’ cool.

pros: Great creature design. Nice dark tone for Insomniac. Decent sound and relatively unique levels.
cons: Confusing plot.
replay value: Medium
