Resistance: Fall of Man PS3

An average story line followed by brilliant gameplay, but boring level designs
Resistance Fall of man was great the first time I played it early 2007 when I bought my ps3, and I decided to plug the game back in and was hugely disappointed. The game didn't age fairly well. I'll first mention how brilliant the guns were, and how amazingly fun they were to use. I had a blast using the auger, the bulls eye, and the laark but, the level design and graphics haven't aged well. The multiplayer is still fun to play.

I'm going to first mention the sound, why does this game not use orchestrated music? This is so cheap, especially for a premier exclusive, even Lair had orchestrated music. This is a minor complaint though.

Now onto the story, why is there a narrator. This takes away a feeling of an epic feeling, and makes the story rather boring. The story also is incredibly generic, and is basically the same story as every other fps.

Graphics for its time it was the best looking ps3 game, and now it looks like a mid point from last gen to next gen. The improvements from RFOM to Uncharted and R&C TOD are remarkable. The game has ugly textures, and backgrounds are ugly compared to likes of Gears of War, and Uncharted Drakes Fortune. The game character/enemy design though is top notch.

The single player campaign hasn't aged well at all. It is a boring SP almost as bad as halo 3. For some reason Insomniac cared about the longevity of the game rather than the quality. It takes hours upon hours but never gets fun until the end.

Multiplayer is still as good as it was in 2007. The game is still fun to play, fast paced, and reminds me alot of pc fps. Highly recommendable and the reason why I'm giving this game a higher score.

Overall: This game is a buy if you enjoy quality multiplayer games, and enjoy shooters.

I don't think this review is very fair. Yeah graphics have become much better since then but an older game should never be judged upon its graphics and sound merits. Honestly, do you judge Super Mario Bros. the same way? I know thats an extreme example, but the game is a year and a half old. I just don't think it should lose points because its graphics haven't aged well.
Your scores for gameplay and funfactor should be what this review is mainly based on.

I don't want to give the idea that your review is horrible, because regardless its still your review, and how you feel about a game is how you feel about a game, and I'm not gonna try to change that. My only beef is with so much emphasis on graphics.

i actually thought resistance graphics were pretty good. Sure they could be a lot better but it still stood out among all other fps's being made at the time.

You were a wee bit too harsh in the wrong areas, such as sound, graphics, etc.

Still, a review is nothing but an opinion, and you conveyed your points well, even if I didn't agree with all of them.

Personally, I'd go for the mid 8's for this game.

5.2 - Face sony bots wrath?
How bout no. I obviously own a ps3, and giving rfom .5 higher than halo 3 is justified. I'm not going to overrated the game, but give the game what it deserves. I'm about to write and give Super Mario galaxy a low score. Why? Because it is another heavily overrated game.

"I'm about to write and give Super Mario galaxy a low score. Why? Because it is another heavily overrated game."

Thats probably one of the stupidest comments iv heard. Omg...i dont even know where to begin.

WTF does a games over-rated-ness have to do with anything. Your gonna give it a low score just because everyone gave it a high score? You're one big rebel. Usually a game scores good because people/reviewers like it. Theres no conspiracy throughout the internet. No one is trying to trick you. Theres a reason why this and halo have some of the most players online...its because its a GOOD GAME. Giving it a low score doesnt make you better than the other people who gave it a high score.

If you didnt like the game and reviewed it low, then thats fine. But, to give it a low score because its "overrated" is pure ignorance.

Is not as good as the reviews give it. I did not enjoy it as much as everyone else. Probably give it a 8.

I don't get how Resistance:Fall of Man graphics are being trashed but Rainbow Six Vegas' graphics are being praised or rated higher than Resistance's?

Leave the guy alone, if you don't like his review go write your own. It's an opinion; so what he didn't think the game was that impressive, I didn't either. That's not to say that it is an awful game it's just an opinion, not everyone likes the same thing. Although I do agree that he is being a little harsh with the graphics but then again it's his opinion.
