Insomniac are mostly known for their two bestselling plat formers that changed the play station forever, of course I mean Ratchet & Clank and Spyro. Resistance is Insomniac’s first attempt at making a game in the FPS genre and I must say, they’ve done a good job…
It’s set after World War 2 in December 1949 and onwards. Russia and Europe have been swept over by the unstoppable power of the Chimera, creatures believed to be part of a Russian experiment but then later revealed as a ruthless alien race. They advance on Europe and swallow it whole until all is left is Great Britain. The Chimera have managed to cross the channel and are wreaking havoc in England. The Brits are doing all they can through skirmishes and other means of small scale warfare but it’s not working. The U.S send aid to the Brits, aid meaning troops. You assume the role of one of these American soldiers, Sgt. Nathan Hale. Little is known about Hale and most of the time he remains silent which...
THE GOOD:
- The graphics and visuals in Resistance: Fall of Man are stunning, to say the very least. It utilizes the PS3s hardware very effectively in this way. - The sound effects and music featured in the game aren't annoying and don't seem to get old. Everything fits and sounds as you would imagine it to ((other than the sound it makes when you hit corpses. That's just strange)). - Replay value is quite high for it. There are three original difficulties, and you can unlock a fourth if you beat the hard mode. After beating the game once, you unlock new weapons and some online content. Plus, it keeps track of how many times you've beaten the game; that's a good way to build bragging rights. THE BAD:

Resistance: Fall Of Man
History Lesson: Think back to the launch of the PS2, can you remember the launch titles? Well there was Fantavision, a game about firework displays. Bouncer, an overhyped game which still looks crap now. There was Tekken Tag and GT3, probably the only decent games at launch. Then soon after that there was Shadow Of Memories, a game about timetravel. Yet even though the line up was crap in terms of quality and graphics (apart from GT3) we for some reason thought the world of these game. We thought the graphics were amazing. However stick Shadow Of Memories in your PS2 today and you'll be cringing at the graphics. So going by the logic that launch titles don't show the best of the console (compare a PS2 game from today with a PS2 game from back at launch) just take a look at the graphics in Resistence and just imagine what the PS3 will be able to achieve in a year or 2. Both Resistance and Motorstorm just scratch the surface as...
THE GOOD:
-Gameplay, easy to pick up but deep enough for FPS vets -Level design, simply incredible. -Graphics, while not pushing the PS3's boundaries, they are really good. -Single player, pretty good length for a FPS, and a cool alternate reality of WWII storyline. -Weapons are very unique and fit a variety of play styles -Online. I have never been much into online gaming, but this one has sucked me in head first. No Lag, EVER, no framerate drops EVER. Very fast paced too, no pointlessly wondering around trying to find someone to kill, maps are scaled up or down based on the number of players in the game which keeps a great balance. -Matchmaking for Ranked Games: very easy to find a game and get started ranking up, scanning is very fast. -XP: gaining experience in a FPS? Awesome. Unlock new character outfits to use online. -Medals/Ribbons: keep track of your best stats, and wear em on your chest proudly. -Sound: turn it up,...
