Resistance: Fall of Man Review
Resistance: Fall of Man is an alien-killing, man-kind saving, robot destroying, action packed game that will leave you wanting a sequel.This is one of those games that every PS3 owner should at least rent.
Gameplay 4/5
With Resistance you have the option to either play single player or Co-Op with a friend. While the gameplay is quite exciting the video clips inbetween missions are a little too long and you don’t have the option to skip them. It is especially annoying if you’re playing it for a second time and are already aware of the story. Resistance can be quite difficult at times, but for the most part it is fairly easy, but this does not detract from the game.One of the high-points of the game is fighting the amazing bosses. You will know when you’re fighting one, as they are usually huge and scary. The last few bosses will require you to wear a diaper as they can get pretty intense.
Story 3/5
The story is very nice and easy to follow. You are pretty much single-handedly (2 handed if you’re playing Co-Op) saving the world from a war with aliens. You do meet up with the military in a few parts, but they don’t help you out very much. The game gives a feeling of having to just clear the level of weird aliens rather than saving the world, but then the video clips between the missions do a great job at keeping you up to speed in the story.
Graphics 3/5
The graphics don’t take away from the game play in any way, better graphics would just make our eyes happier. While playing the game, I got a very interesting feel from the graphics. It has a very futuristic, but yet World War 2 look. You can definitely tell that the aliens are more advanced than the humans just from the look of the textures and technical models.
Sound 4/5
The sounds were nothing extremely special, but it was not a downpoint. Weapons, aliens, and nature sounds were perfect. Gun-butting a box sounds much different than gun-butting the face of an alien. The voice over in the video clips was perfect and set the mood, also the sounds the aliens and creatures made were pretty freaky, especially when you turn a corner and you hear one yelling at you.
Multi-Player 3/5
While the online play isn’t too bad, I find the single player Co-Op mode better. While the story only has 1 character your friend may feel a little left out when the video clip comes and there is only 1 character, but he’ll get over it.
Total Score 3/5
