Resistance: Fall of Mankind does indeed live up to the hype.
After playing it I was pleasently surprised. This game really does live up to most of its hype. No, it's not the best FPS I've ever played, but it's definately a great game and a lot of fun. Almost everything can be destroyed or interacted with in some way within the game, being it blowing off the legs of tables or hitting pool table balls with the end of your rifle. Though some objects, for some reason, don't have bullet holes when you shoot them and other items do. Windows have bullet holes if you shoot them, but couches and chairs do not... Along with other things. Water doesn't have any effect either when you shoot at it, which is rather odd, but it's not really any sort of game-breaking issue.
The characters aren't all that interesting and the story isn't all that great either (and the story isn't all that surprising, you can usually guess what will happen next). The graphics are great though and the game looks beautiful.
Overall the game is fun, though it could indeed be better. It is a great game, though, and a worthy addition to the PS3. It's worth picking up if you're an FPS fan.
