Product Description: Resistance: Fall Of Man takes you back in time to an early 20th century that's very different from our own. Through brute force, a species of unknown origin known only as the Chimera have conquered Asia and most of Europe in mere decades. Seeing the risk of annihilation, the United States supports the British Resistance in a European counterattack. The story follows Hale, a US Ranger, as he struggles for survival and desperately seeks a means to eliminate the Chimeran blight.
Amazon.com: In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horric scourge -- the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera. In mere decades this race has ripped apart populations across Asia and Europe and by 1951 has landed on the shores of England. You play the part of US a Army Ranger, fighting alongside a group of British resistance soldiers to free the country from the Chimera and to halt their spread across the globe.
PLAYSTATION 3's killer app has arrived.
Wield human or Chimeran weapons.
Chimera come in a variety of terrifying shapes and sizes.
The environments are incredibly detailed and lifelike.
Enemies will flank you if you're careless about picking them off.
The Chimera wars War is everywhere and everything in Resistance. An alien race began toying with the planet just after Word War I and in mere decades, the Chimera Ð a species of unknown origin propagating a virus that converts other life forms into more Chimera Ð has overrun Russia and all of Europe. HumanityÕs hope for survival is slim, and the tide of the battle rests on the shoulders of U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale.
The Chimera didn't plan to take this protracted war lying down, however, and amassed their forces in Russia. Once Russia was captured, they quickly erected a wall around the former country, rebuking all efforts at communication or contact. While the world waited and wondered what other terrors might spill from the wall, England prepares for and falls to a major Chimera invasion in 1951.
The United States comes to aid their English allies, but all does not go as planned. The next three days will see some of the most intense fighting the war has known thus far, and it's up to you to end the Chimera threat before the plague of defeat can encircle the globe.
Next-generation gameplay and style The gameplay of Resistance is classic First Person Shooter. Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with a proprietary physics system to create unique human and alien weaponry. Many of the weapons of the game are era-appropriate, such as pistols and grenades. Other weapons, such as the Chimeran Auger, are of alien design. Due to the differences in the ways that the various weapons handle, great care must be taken when entering an area infested with Chimera with their own weaponry. In addition to the obvious array of weapons, players can use melee attacks and jump to avoid attack.
Special game actions, called "Skill Tasks," are worth set number of points that can be spent to unlock new content in the game. A Skill Task may be something as simple as killing a number of enemies in a short period of time or as involved as locating a hidden area in the single player campaign. The mystery of the tasks, however, is that they aren't actually revealed until you have completed the task. This makes for a great reply incentive, as you will be mowing down Chimera and be suddenly rewarded with task points, often when you least expect the reward.
Obviously, presentation is one of the areas in which Resistance shines. The frame rate is silky-smooth, and never seems to get bogged down when there is a large number of Chimera or teammates on screen. Animations are believable, the locations are detailed, and the voice acting is top-notch. Explosions are especially impressive, sending shrapnel and smoke in all directions. If you're looking for a game to impress your friends with graphically, look no further. Resistance is the type of game that makes you feel confident about the future of the PLAYSTATION 3.
Track stats and more online Resistance also boasts an impressive 40 player online multiplayer mode. It's not uncommon to find large-scale battles with both intricate strategy and simple "run and gun" play styles. Created and managed jointly by Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment, MyResistance.net is the official online community destination for Resistance: Fall of Man. At MyResistance.net, players can view their multiplayer stats in near-real time, participate in forums with other fans, download unlockable content and more.
Blast! This game was a blast to play! The graphics are ok. Not the best we've seen on PS3 games, but for an exclusive title, this one really hits the mark. A must have!
The Best FPS for PS3! If FPS is the game that you like, get this one, one of the fps game for PS3!
Cartoon + irritating controls Not so fun. Not worth until gets to $10, then it will be fine. Cartoony. Weird controls. Save your money up and buy Rainbow 6, Call of Duty 4, or Halo.
One of the coolest launch games in a longtime. The game tells the story of Nathan hale,it take place in the 1950's and instead of WW2 a race of creatures know as the Chimera have destroyed Russia and pretty much all of europe and its up to Hale and a group of rag tag soldiers to put a end to it.
Gameplay
At first you might think the game is your typical WW2 shooter but after playing the first few stages you'll see it's not.The thing that really puts the game apart from other shooters is tha great selection of crazy weapons you get along the way,You get everything from the normal shotgun and Machinegun and even the rocket launcher but you also get some crazy stuff like the Auger which fires threw walls and can put up a shield that helps you dodge on coming fire and the hailstorm which fires little bolts everywhere and one of my favorites is the hedgehog granade which shoots spikes all over the place.
The A.I in the game for the most part is pretty solid the Chimera and your soldiers do a great job of taking cover and flank each other and they just do a great job of trying not to die.The Chimera also get more advance weapons and gear later in the game and put up a very good challenge.
The game engine can also throws a lot of enemys and objects on the screen all at once, theres times when you are facing all sorts of Chimeras at once plus theres all sorts of crazy stuff going on in the background like tanks blowing things up and these massive spider robots walking around.
The game also has a great Multiplayer that you can have matches to up to 40 people and the game plays very smooth and the modes are pretty cool like capture the Flag and Death Match and also Meltdown(its just like nodes from Ratchet and Clank).
Graphics
One thing that a video game company that is making a launch game they want to make sure it looks great and shows you what the console can do.The N64 had Mario64 and Waverace and the Dreamcast had Soul Caliber and the Xbox had Halo and now the PS3 has Resistance and it looks great,like I said earlier the game has a crazy art style if I had to put my finger on it I would say it reminds me of the combine world in Halflife 2 and the For runner tech from the Halo series but thrown into Europe in the 1950's.
The game also has a nice little thing for small detail like little blades of grass moving in the wind,pieces of trash flying around and the lighting in the game looks sick two.But the best thing for me is the game always runs smooth and never drops a beat even when things get crazy and theres all sorts of moments when the game gets crazy.
Sound
The game also has some very nice voice work and the soundtrack is also well done.The Chimera also sound pretty cool.Oh yeah if you have a great set of speakers or a great system you are in for a treat.
Final thought
The game is so much fun the only thing that I would complain about would be the health system and the check points both just felt kind of dated to me,at times theres not enough check points and the health system is based off of health packs and sometimes you just dont get enough of them.But besides those two things the game is a killer app all the way and is by far the best Shooter to come from a Sony studio and to grace a Playstaion platform.
Well go buy the game if you have not now its 29.99 and man I cant wait to see what they will do with Resistance 2 Hugh boss fights 64 players online and 8 player online campaine its going to be epic.
Excellent Game What a great game! The graphics are great and the storyline is engaging. The best part of the game though is the guns. WOW! The weapons are excellent and your only hope against the endless waves of enemies with excellent AI. They actually form defensive positions and duck-and-fire. I love the secondary abilities of the guns; they make it that much more fun. I loved Halo, but this game is right up there for me.
