a good shooter who got over looked by the main stream

User Rating: 9 | Resistance: Fall of Man PS3
let me start off and say i have not played this game online, so everything in this review is based off my impressions of the single player campaign.

graphics: out of all the things resistance does, graphics is probably the worse thing it brought to the table. now "worse" has a very bad connotation to it...where in reality the graphics are very good, it makes a good looking game. but compared to gears of war which came out around the same time, resistance has very smooth creatures with high quality textures ontop...where gears of war had high detail in the polygon frame of the creatures and then textures over that. so this game is by no means ugly, its just not the best visuals on the market...but when everything on the market is looking great its no surprise.

Sound: Sound was pretty good, i dont have a lot to comment on here because im using 12 year old speakers who couldnt give me all the glorry of what the game had to offer me. but seriously the guns sounded fine, and what little i remember of the music score was fitting for this title. very low background music played well into the feel of the game.

gameplay: this game is very much like other FPS games when it comes to your gameplay. run, shoot, duck, shoot, nade, bash, jump, shoot, and so on. where this game mixes up the formula is the abilities of the guns. from a sniper riffle that slows down time to get that fast moving guy in the head, to guns that shoot through any wall, and even guns you tag a target with and all your bullets home to that target. it really mixes up the gameplay and has you using each guns abilities to kill the enemies. its never a good thing to see the enemies shooting the guns that go through walls at you when your in cover about to die.

continuing on with gameplay, i have to admit i died many times on normal mode, it felt to be about as hard as halo3 on heroic. that being said, only a few of the enemies were bullet sponges. you could drop them pretty quickly if you landed your shots...but so could you. this brought a good balance to the game, where you dont charge into the room and somehow live. you actually have to take your time a little as you run through this game. it also makes the game fun. you dont find yourself complaigning the enemies take more than a single clip to kill...unless its soem huge 12 foot monster that you know is going to eat bullets for breakfast.

this is a must buy for all ps3 owners, best part is the game is actually long. i was not able to finish this game in 1 or 2 sittings, it took me 4 sitting of co-op running straight through the game...so its 12-16 hours long roughly.
