Resistance is unlikely to be remembered as fondly as shooters that will arrive later in the PlayStation 3's life, but as a launch game it ticks all the boxes. It looks great, features an action packed campaign, includes some splendid online support and generally points towards a great future for action games on the system. If you're picking up a PlayStation 3 Resistance Fall of Man should be high on your must buy list.
Tom Orry · Mar 19, 2007 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewThe game teeters from a Call of Duty atmosphere to scraping its fingertips on Halo’s ceiling, while still cobbling a feel that is inspired, but infused with its own personality. It’s fantastic and clever, but never crosses over to the realm of the resplendent; due to some almost invisible irks like the status quo AI and the lackluster, if solid, presentation of the storyline. The multiplayer is the real deal, and is destined to sit on the throne of data packets for the PS3 for the foreseeable future.
Game Trailers · Jan 10, 2007 Reviewed on PS3Resistance: Fall of Man is an amazing shooter that displays the capabilities of this new system. It would have been a remarkable title a year into the life of the PS3, but as it is a launch title, it is even more remarkable. With incredible graphics, an evolving story, great action and weapons, Insomniac and Sony have nailed the launch of the game and system seamlessly.
jkdmedia · Nov 19, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIf you consider yourself a fan of first-person shooters, then you really owe it to yourself to give Resistance: Fall of Man a shot. Whether that means taking the plunge for a PlayStation 3, playing one over at your filthy-rich friend's house, or whatever else it's going to take is beside the point. What matters is that developer Insomniac Games took the best aspects of some of the best first-person shooters from the past couple of years, added some great weapons and visual flourishes, and put it all together just in time for the PS3's launch.
Greg Kasavin · Nov 15, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIt's got looks, it's got brains, it's got a lot of stuff to shoot. It doesn't revolutionize the genre or even introduce much new, but Resistance remains an utterly solid shooter that should keep you entertained for quite a while. It's an excellent introduction to the PS3 and points toward even greater experiences in the future.
Benjamin Turner · Nov 15, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewBut let's be honest, Resistance doesn't have to be perfect to be fun, and fun is exactly what it is. From start to finish, Fall of Man is one hell of an outstanding roller coaster ride that every last PS3 owner needs for day one. Epic boss battles (the final few are crazy!), ever-changing scenery, addictive weaponry, and a unique thematic are just a few of the reasons Resistance stands out. But above all else, it's the multiplayer elements that truly ascend this one to the next level. It's a must have for sure.
Jeremy Dunham · Nov 10, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewThe overall disappointment that comes from playing Resistance is troubling. For years, Insomniac has carved itself an impressive reputation, and had a golden opportunity to throw its creativity at a genre which has been stuck in its ways for far too long. That it merely aped almost all of the things wrong with this creatively moribund genre is alarming.
Kristan Reed · Mar 22, 2007 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewFall of Man is probably the game you'll buy after you've got Motorstorm (read our review of that beast here). It's a solid shooter that ticks all the boxes and is fun to play. Just don't expect it to blow you away or give you a good idea about what PS3 can do.

About the game
Set in a frightening, alternate 20th century reality, Resistance: Fall Of Man delivers a unique blend of harrowing military action and unnerving horror. In mere decades, the Chimera -- a species of unknown origin propagating a virus that converts other life forms into more Chimera -- has overrun Russia and all of Europe. Humanity's hope for survival is slim, and the tide of the battle rests on the shoulders of U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale. Taking advantage of the PlayStation 3's processing power, Resistance has you experiencing a wide variety of horrifying creatures, physics-based weaponry, playable vehicles, smart enemies, and highly detailed and diverse environments.
