In '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.

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.

Like many other people i bought this as my first game for my PS3. The campaign mode has a pretty good story and reminds me of the 90's classic Marathon. At some points in the game you get to drive Tanks, A Range Rover and even a Gundam style walker in a huge battle. As with all single player games though, the AI of the enemies is pretty weak. They are always waiting in the same buildings in the same places in the same numbers. All it takes is a well thrown nade and they are dead. It shouldn't take more than three days for you to finish this game in campaign mode.

It doesn't matter that the campaign is short, because the online multiplayer is where the real battles are happening. I have personally played on a server with 40 people and its just mayhem at its best. The smooth and detailed graphics make it great to sometimes just be a spectator and watch people go for it. Another pleasing feature is that there are no slowdowns or dropped frames even in intense battles. The only downer to online play is that none of the vehicles are available...

Anyway, i think its a great game that all FPS lovers should own, by R Hook (Alstonville, NSW Australia)

This game is fantastic offline, however if you are a hard core multiplayer gamer be warned - you already have a crap load of players who can't pull their own weight and resort to cheating much like in SOCOM 2 for the Playstion 2. Players hide in places where their not suppose to be quickly obtaining untold kills and being rewarded with ranks they never earned. It's frustrating and ruins the online multiplayer experience.

If you intend to play multiplayer join a clan and block out the cheaters. As long as players can pull their internet connection cord without getting kicked off this issue will not be resolved. If it were not for that problem I would give this game a 5 star rating. This game is incredible but the online cheaters have killed it for me, by AJ (NY)
