Title
Resistance Fall of Man is an Interesting game, I would rate this differently if I would've reviewed this in 2006 when it was initially released, but today we have different standards.

The story of this game is okayish I would say it's alright for a shooter but nothing special. But it's not boring and doesn't try to be more than it is, the cutscenes are short, and other intel is optional.

So this game doesn't focus on story, it focuses more on gunplay and tactic, the gunplay of this game is fine, every weapon plays well and none feel fishy, tho I played this game on medium and all the enemies are sponges, otherwise I love the different guns you can have and their different play, for the tall skinny guys I use the shotgun, for the little guys I use the mine, etc etc, it pays off to use different guns for different enemies and I love that.

Now this brings me to my biggest critical point of this game, it tries to be a tactical shooter but doesn't quite get how that works, for instance, the game wants you to take cover and kill the enemies one by one, running in with a shotgun e.g does not work and mostly ends up with you dying. But the game does not give you enough options to make this ''tactic play'' work, sometimes enemies just randomly rush you, and if you are not prepared for that, you die. The health is extremely limited, yes there are usually a lot of med kits, but the game doesn't let you store any, so if you happen to be on your last bar of health and there are non around, be prepared for a lot of try and error, as you are dead in about 2shots. To cover yourself from the enemies also does not work for some reason, if you stand behind a wall it does, but try crouching under something and you get hit anyways, and a lean option for left and right would've been also very appreciated. Now that isn't enough some enemies can shoot through walls, and at the end of the game, a lot of these spawn and kill you, the only thing I found working most of the time for them is the sniper slow-mo mode but it has limited ammo. Don't get me wrong I like this about the game, you have limited ammo for a lot of guns, so you can't just use the weapon u are comfortable with, and you will change the weapon according to the situation.

Enemy AI for some reason, sometimes only focuses on you, e.g there was a mission in which you had to fight against, 2 robot spiders and one alien spider, but those just keep focusing on you even tho there are a lot of other soldiers they could attack, as soon as you peak just for a sec, you get shot at, and this wouldn't be a problem if there was enough bazooka ammo for you to kill them, there is but it's scattered around the map and if you run out of the house you get shot at instantly, and usually die if you're not a full life. (That mission took me about 15-20 tries)

This game has also a very unforgiving checkpoint system, sometimes it's generous, but other times, u have to do the whole mission again, now missions are only about 10-20min long but still, it's very frustrating.

near the end, the game just goes way too hard, and I'm not a person who is against hard, but I mean unfairly hard.

Now there are also some good things, the graphics are good for 2006 and the glass physics are gorgeous not even games today have so good glass physics, physic generally are good. But there is also a tiny bit of a problem, the character you play throws grenades disproportional far, it's like this game ignores angle, he throws so far even tho it doesn't make sense that you either throw over the enemy or in front, tho if you hit, its usually very rewarding.

In conclusion, it is a very unforgiving, unnecessary hard game that did not age well It plays good but doesn't do anything special these days.

Title
Resistance is a sci-fi action FPS-style game based on an alternate history timeline where, during the actual Tunguska Event of 1908 (wherein the largest meteor to crash into the Earth's surface plunged into a remote area of Siberia), an unknown virus is released on Earth. This virus infects much of the Russia, eventually turning humans into powerful creatures known as the Chimera. From there on out, enough people become infected for the Chimera to launch a full-fledged invasion of Russia, while inexplicably turning others into various evolutions of Chimera. The game takes place in 1951, and the characters takes control of Sgt. Nathan Hale, as a part of the American effort to assist the UK in turning the back the tide of invading Chimera.

There are a few major points to mention. First of all, this game is quite easily be considered Call of Duty with Aliens (or whatever archetype FPS games you may think of.) Fast paced twitch-shooting action against legions of Chimera makes up the greatest (like, 99%) of this game. This game does not reinvent the wheel. The next major point that is worth mentioning is that I am relatively certain that this launch-title for the PS3 was mainly meant to be the PS3's competitor with XBox 360's Gears of War. The games are remarkably similar in their overarching story elements. Humans are vastly outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and otherwise helpless to a significantly stronger opponent. The creatures are an enigmatic alien species, that are just as much a mystery as they are a threat. You play as a military badass who does 95% percent of the work in dismantling said overwhelming threat. Whether these are positive traits or negative ones is up to you.

I remember seeing reviews and gameplay for this when it first came out and instantly wanted to play it. Sadly, it wouldnt be until a few years after the sequel came out in 2009 that I would get the chance. But, for what its worth, this game is enjoyable for its interesting and compellingly told narrative of the tenacity of the human race. The gameplay is solid. The chimera come in multiple varieties that typically require different strategies to take out. The combat is fast-paced and the chimera are fairly dangerous. Granted, the incessant usage of grenades and the horrible tendency for the chimera to target the PC above all else (going so far as numerous chimeran hybrids, the grunts of the army, rushing straight up to you to get point-blank shots off) can be relatively frustrating. Therein lies the most poorly-aged aspect of this game: the enemy AI is dumb. Beyond that, you get a decent shooter that gives you everything it has right on the tin.

Title
I remember this game, it was my first rated M game. Funny story is my parents were super strict about what games I was allowed to play and I wasn't allowed to play M games until I was 15 years old. I played the demo for this and thought it was so much fun, and I literally kept telling my dad you only kill aliens and its not that bad, I mean as a kid I was allowed to play Gex and Lost World, both games which were pretty vulgar and gory even. Eventually my dad caved in and we were allowed to then play rated M games. I liked this a lot when I was younger, it was your pretty typical alien FPS game, and you had a weapon wheel of some interesting weapons. The design was kind of generic and nothing really stood out too much, but it was satisfying enough, even if the story was pretty dumb. Yeah this isn't great, yeah I'm not sure I'd even consider it good, but it is a little nostalgic for me, it has some solid design, and the enemies are kind of badass looking. Plus I loved this game so much when I was in high school and it is the best Resistance game before the series got stupid.

Year: 2007
Developer: Insomniac
Publisher: SCE
Console Played: Playstation 3


Another PS3 launch title that I got bundled with my console... And soon traded in. I still can't understand the rave reviews this game recieved. So this was the first PS3 game I EVER played, and man was I disappointed. I thought my console was broken, it looked like a PS2 game in terms of graphics. Horrible drab browns and greys. Now I know a World War shooter isn't exactly meant to be vibrant, but previous games like Call of Duty 2 and Medal of Honour: Frontline still had much more on screen atmosphere and character in the visuals. In terms of gameplay, this was one of the dullest, most generic FPS' I have ever witnessed. Even with the premise of combining a WW2 shooter with an alien shooter, this was inexcusibly bland, FPS 101. I failed to care about any of the inane plot or characters, the controls were stiff. I had to give up half way through because I couldn't make myself care about this horrible game any longer, and I know I've not missed out on anything. The one saving grace of the game was a decent multiplayer, and since it was the first time playing a Playstation game online, I spent more of my time here. However this did not make the game worth keeping or worth continuing trying to like. Fortunately Resistance 2 would be a significant improvement over this game, but oh what a terrible, terrible way to begin the PS3 saga...

    This game was such a surprise - no cover, very limited health regen, hold 10 weapons at the same time, just run in and blast the aliens like in good old Doom or Serious Sam. Soul of a classic FPS in a misleading brown+bloom skin. Sad that they ruined this forever immediately afterwards.
