Resistance: Fall of Man is not a remarkable game, except when it is. When I first played through the first few minutes of Resistance I was impressed more with the capabilities of the PlayStation 3 than the game itself. As I walked through the game world there was smoke billowing in the distance, explosions of fire, 5-7 enemies rushing toward me and not a sign of slow-down. It gave me a sign of what the PS3 will be capable of if developers were to start making games specifically for te PS3.

Resistance is a paint-by-numbers FPS incorporating the best parts of many games that have preceded it, just as Area 51 did in the last generation. given the lack of originality in the FPS genre this is hardly surprising and I did not hold it against the game. It is capable, bug-free and for the most part engaging.

The only short fall of the game is the jeep-vehicle missions which appear to have been tacked-on, or at least not as carefully reviewed for quality as the rest of the game. Though it does not affect the gameplay the cut scenes are also deficient, they consist mostly of sepia-toned concept art narrated-over. Not exactly engaging.

if you have a PS3 and enjoy FPS games at the early stage of the console's life playing Resistance is more of a requirement than a choice, but if you are ready this 2-3 years after the PS3 launch there are no doubt better FPS games available for you to play. At least I hope so.
