bit-tech Shopping: Sony Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)

Rating: 10

Time with product: 3

Strengths: Graphics, Weaponry, Storyline..

Weaknesses: Mission objectives can be unclear at certain stages.

Summary: Personally I would strongly recommend this game to anyone who owns the system. Resistance: Fall Of Man, is strictly for the PS3, and is by far the greatest launch title available. The game is similar to Halo for all those who own or support the X-Box. I really have nothing bad to say about the game, except that enemy positions become very predictable.The game also has segments that make you jump.. At one point I was even slighly afraid.Get off your computer and buy this game!!GO NOW!

Strengths: Original setting leads the way for a great story, gameplay is fast & fun, graphics & sound are both excellent, multiple online modes & an offline co-op mode

Weaknesses: No online co-op

Summary: Resistance is, quite simply, one of the best launch games ever. It?s a must-have game for any PS3 owner, and will be even when the other ?big guns? start releasing this fall. Insomniac has returned to the genre they started with (their first Playstation 1 game was Disruptor, another FPS) and they?ve done it with flying colors. Starting with a very unique setting ? an alternate WWII-era game where aliens have attacked earth ? the game sucks you in and never lets go. The action is fast and the weapons are varied and fun to use (with very useful alt-fires for all). The game is gorgeous and runs extremely smooth, never dropping frames or slowing down. Presentation across the board is top-notch, from the menus to the voice acting. The single-player campaign will last around 15 hours or so the first time ? with incentives like new weapons and unlockable goodies to encourage multiple play-throughs. Combine this with a great co-op mode and several online multi-player modes and you have a sure-fire winner. My only small complaint is the lack of an online co-op, but this is easily forgiven in light of everything else the game provides. No PS3 should be without this one.

Strengths: * Everything epecially On-line mode

Weaknesses: * price?

Summary: This is the best game out for the PS3 at the moment. I have more fun with this game than any of my other games. The on-line mode is truly addicting and entertaining. A must buy if you just purchased a PS3 and want to show off its graphics.

Strengths: This has a great story. The variety of different weapons are also fun, especially one of the weapons which allows your gunfire to follow a targeting round that has already hit your opponent.

Weaknesses: The graphics aren't that great considering this came out during the same time gears of war did. The enemy "bot" isnt very smart but they will overwhelm you or dodge you gunfire.

Summary: Being my first PS3 game i was expecting more from the one of the intial release games. So far i have been buying more blu-ray movies than games and havent been really impress by any of the games out. This game which is actually the best of them isnt bad. But they could have put more work into creating a better graphically designed game to compliment a good story. Hopefully this game leads it open to a sequel so Im expecting them to do a better job next time

Time with product: 6 Months

Strengths: Fun weapons variety, twist on the standard FPS

Weaknesses: Not really a revolutionary FPS

Summary: This game is solid. Not fantastic, not the best you've ever played in your entire life, but really solid, fun, and enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, it's hard to find any weakenesses with this game. The gameplay is superb, level design is interesting, Lots of neat side challenges to discover and complete. But remember the days when Quake, Duke Nukem, etc came out and revolutionized the FPS? This is not that kind of revolutionary game. It's more of an evolutionary incremental improvement, primarily bringing HD to the table.All that being said, I really enjoy this game and have been playing it off and on since I bought the PS3 6 months ago.
