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.

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In the end it will probably be to the benefit of European gamers that the PS3 was delayed, since it will give Sony the chance to put together a much more impressive line-up of launch games than greeted the console in America and Japan. Resistance was easily the best of the U.S. launch games - a first person shoot `em-up from the creators of Ratchet & Clank. The game's story is based around an alternate version of World War II where instead of Nazis you're facing off against the insect-like Chimera in a war torn Britain (naturally you're playing an American though). It's basically Call Of Duty meets Doom.

The game doesn't use the tilt sensors of the Sixaxis controller for movement but it does demonstrate the improved build quality of the analogue sticks, which previously made first person shooters difficult on the PS2. The tilt sensors are used in a variety of secondary roles though, such as when you have to shake off a monster or if you get set on fire. Despite the faux WWII setting, most of the game's weapons are fantastical and, as with Ratchet & Clank, are probably the highlight of the whole game. All have secondary fire modes, from grenade launchers to homing bullets. The armour piercing Auger for example, also doubles as a shield. There are also vehicle based sections, including a particularly fun ride in an almost indestructible tank.

Although the single player game is well above average, the criticism about the sometimes generic art and design are not entirely without foundation. Thankfully this is compensated by an excellent forty person online mode - a huge achievement for a launch game and a very good sign for future online PS3 games.

Rating: - Great FPS with a good storyline
This was one of the games I wanted to play after getting a PS3 after playing it round a friends. The storyline is quite interesting as it shows earth being over-run by an alien race and focuses on them taking over England and how the americans join in to help fight them off. You play an american who comes with aid and then get infected with a virus. The graphics are not uber but they are quite good and it is really about the gameplay more than spectacular graphics for this game as it was one of the ... Read More

Rating: - Resistance : Fall Of Man - Rise Of A Classic!
This is not one of those long reviews but if you're thinking of buying this game it is absolutely brilliant! Although I'm quite new to the FPS scence I was'nt sure if I would like it - there was no need to worry! The game is beautifully designed, great graphics, great weapons with engaging gameplay. The way the earth turns ever more alien as the beings gradually take over is superb. It's spooky sometimes and makes you think - "what if?!" The aliens themselves and the countless mutations of their species ... Read More

Rating: - 5 stars; REALLY?!
I've read what other people have put about this game and I'm
shocked they have played the same game I jus have.
it's currently 12 at night, i'm in bed ready to sleep
and I'm so annoyed I have to put this down, imagine medal of
honour with mutant aliens. Heavily scripted gameplay,
mahogany wooden charicterisation, as linier as a...
laser beam. Sure this was a release game with console some
two years ago but really. Compared to gears of war, halo 1 2 or 3
Microsoft ... Read More

Rating: - Its a BLAST!
Resistance has been out for a pretty long time now and I have only recently picked this title up. I did not know what to really expect but I wanted something new after playing Killzone 2 and COD to death (no pun intended) - however, I am pleased to say that Resistance provided everything that I was looking for.

Resistance is a solid, old school, arcade shooter. The action is flued and never stops from begining to end! The presentation is really nice and sticks with the alternative WWII theme through ... Read More
