"Resistance: Fall of Man" is one of the launch titles for the PS3 and goes as a potential shooter challenger and rival for Microsoft's "Halo" into the race. Whether this endeavor a "halos for the Playstation" is successful, I will try to discuss in this review. First of all, the history of the game that I classifies as very interesting. The Second World War, as it took place is, as occurred in this game universe, as a mysterious species that have invaded "beasts", the entire continent of Europe before Nazi Germany could ever start for the first shot. Now start these "beasts" their invasion of England. The player takes on the role of Nathan Hale, who was just these beasts is infected with genes, which explains why he survived the brutal attacks of the only monsters. The player spends his time in this game, so to fight off massive waves of attack of the beasts and to explore their futuristic appearing positions and fumigate. So far so good. But what is immediately clear when starting the game is that "Halo" but plays somewhere in a different league. The graphics of "Resistance" is not bad, but still works but dowdy and of an Order for the PS3 not worthy. The textures are spongy, the characters do not really detalliert, the effects of firearms sometimes ridiculous, all in all, just a bit unfinished. Only the environments of beasts stations provide a next-gen feel the player. The gameplay seems somehow a little half-baked. I can somehow not really grasp what it is, but it is so. The whole reminded me very much of the average Medal of Honor series. This looks at the beginning somehow all a bit mediocre. With continuous playing time but you noticed yet that the game has far more substance than originally believed, which is primarily due to the best weapons that have taken place in one game for years. Let's be honest: No matter what you play first-person shooter, you always have the default selection of weapons here: pistol, small machine guns, big machine gun, shotgun, sniper rifle and rocket launcher. While these appear well here, but they have been modified very interesting. The standard assault rifle is still very unspectacular. But to use the alien gun, so the whole thing looks already quite different. The second function of the gun makes it possible to attach a kind of homing beacon to the opponent, which around obstacles reaches every shot from the weapon to the enemy. The sniper rifle has a bullet-time feature that allows one to dispense precise shots. The so-called "drill" shoots through any wall, and assumes power added with every obstacle, which provides mainly of opponents used for very hectic moments. The weapons selection at Resistance raises the whole game considerably upwards! What the game lacks in the end to really cool to be so are these "special moments". The first time driving a Warthog on the surface halos, the capers of a giant spider tank, who has just broken down a whole city or the like. Moments in the game, which remain a truly adhere correctly, you will experience again and again. The Halo series is full with such moments almost every second, Resistance is lacking a little on bombast simply. Apart from this, "Resistance: Fall of Man" a rock solid first person shooter with great weapons, an interesting story, but also moderate technical difficulties. For a cheap price you can play on the lookout for a good first person shooter acquire sure who the price matter is should consider the grandiose successor or "Killzone 2" in the eye more.
