Learn more about Resistance: Fall of Man. (Flash demo) For decades, populations across Europe and Asia have felt the fury of Chimera: a rapidly mutating parasite that infects other forms of life, rendering its victims into new Chimera. The unstoppable spread of this deadly disease has made its way to the shores of England in Fall of Man. It's now 1951, and while playing the part of U.S. Army Ranger Nathan Hale, you must fight alongside a group of British resistance soldiers in a last-ditch effort to free England and the rest of the world from the stranglehold of this ruinous plague.Exotic weapons and vehicles team with proprietary physics to create a unique human and Chimeran arsenal. While on your mission, you'll encounter lifelike characters and creatures who display sophisticated behaviors and interactions in complex environments for an immersive experience. You'll be subjected to the chaos of large, crowded battlefields in close combat within infested military command centers and decimated urban landscapes based on actual locations in Great Britain.

Resistance is undoubtedly one of the best launch titles for the ps3. It showcases a lot of the potential that the ps3 has in terms of graphics (which look really good), and gameplay. The gameplay is rather linear, meaning there are no frustrating puzzles to solve, or other nuisances that may slow down the gameplay. This is a good thing because it gets through the storyline rather quickly. Online multiplayer is also extremely fun, with up to 40 players. Split screen co-op mode is also great. Replay value is very high, since you can unlock new items and weapons after you beat the game.
The only minor issue that I have with the game is that the story isn't really developed in terms of characters, but that really isn't an issue at all.
What's great about it: Fantastic visuals, intelligent AI, nice multiplayer mode.
What's not so great: story is a little underdeveloped
