Product Description
Resistance: Fall of Man PS3 Resistance: Fall of Man, the U.S. and Britain band together in a last-ditch effort to save Europe and Asia from a horrific scourge. 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. Players dive into a deep frightening story that rewrites the 20th century and pits the United States and Britain against a horrific species of unknown origin. Encounter a wide variety of fluidly moving characters and creatures that exhibit more sophisticated behaviors and interact with their environments more realistically. Greater processing power on PLAYSTATION3 and Blu-ray Disc technology enables more immersive visual and sound effects that heightening the chaos of large-scale warfare. A powerful rendering engine allows a greater variety of highly detailed and interactive environments for a console FPS experience, including large battlefields and sprawling military command centers. Engaging single player campaign, a co-operative mode and one of the most complete multiplayer offerings in a console game. Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with a proprietary physics system to create a unique human and alien arsenal. |

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. View larger. Chimera come in a variety of terrifying shapes and sizes. View larger. The environments are incredibly detailed and lifelike. View larger. Enemies will flank you if you're careless about picking them off. View larger. 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. |

Excellent Game. Buy it - it is SO worth it. by Revo (Orange County, CA) 5 Stars
November 13, 2009
This game is an absolute blast to play. The campaign is very well written with great, informative cinematic part between missions. Also, most importantly, the campaign is LONG! Do not expect to beat this thing in 5-6 hours like a Call of Duty game. It will easily take 10+ hours. The first night I got it, my friend and I sat down and played the campaign in split screen co-op for about 6-7 hours and only got half way through, and the later missions take longer due to their difficulty.
I'm not one of those reviewers that breaks down the game to scrutinize each part, I judge it on how much fun it is to play, and this game really is fun. The storyline is interesting, and the game play is great.
I have yet to play online though I did play some split screen competitive with some friends, and my only gripes are that though you can only have 4 people play locally, their smallest map is 8 player, and also, you can't link two PS3's and play 4 person per PS3. When linking systems, you go down to 1 person per console. So basically you need 5 consoles for 5 people but only 1 console for 4. Very lame if you ask me. Also, the damage needs to be turned down to about 20% for any real fun game play, or else everything is more or less a one hit kill.
As for the campaign, was that in co-op mode, the second player is just some random guy that is never mentioned in the storyline or cinematic parts, so he's like a ghost that appears and disappears.
However, despite my gripes, I still gave it 5/5 for both fun and overall because this game really is a ton of fun and it is overall very good.
It is one of the few games that allow split screen co-op for the main campaign (VERY disappointed that they don't have this in Resistance 2 - I have just ordered this and have yet to receive it).

Fall of Man by B. Nelson (Glasgow, KY) 5 Stars
November 12, 2009
First said, im only commenting on multiplayer deathmatch. Ive played multiplayer for many years, back when doom and duke nukem were new. Of all the games with intense multiplayer competition, fall of man is the best. The call of duty series and the old un-animated half life probable come very close. You can't run thru a door and drop a frag or hedgehog grenade and waste all that follow any quicker than fall of man. Face a group of supreme commanders and get your tail handed back to you. Nice :)

An oldie, but very very amazing title! by Rigo's a gamer 5 Stars
November 03, 2009
Nice balance for a first person shooter!! Really cool storyline, inmersive and nicely balanced with all the chaos form the chimera!!! At first, for all the casual gamers, the controls take time getting used to but never the less is an exponential curve and in no time its the least of your problems when surrounded by 10-15 hybrids all shooting merciless on you!!! Play the game's storyline and really enjoy!!! Call a friend and enjoy one of the strongest co-op storyline games I have ever seen (trust me, after playing from Perfect Dark to James Bond to Timeslpitters to Metroid its A REAL DEAL!)
And playing online is madness, sweet, chaos and everything else as it is enjoyable but mayhem is awesome!!! Playing with other 39 players(!!!) is just pure craziness in a very satisfying and incredible way!!!
