Resistance: Fall of Man - 9/10
Resistance: Fall of Man
I picked this game up on launch like most people but the question is, Is it really a great game like everyone sais?
Graphics
This Game isn't, thats right, isn't, stunning when it comes to graphics. Don't get me wrong, it is brilliant but it just lacks in the "oomph" factor. When you pick up a $1000 console you expect your first game that has had great reviews to be absolutly fantastic.
Here's the catch, people arn't looking at the graphics when they say "Woh." they are looking at the movement of the game. How you can shoot down chairs and shelves, and how the players move around and breath, that is the awsome thing about this game.
Main point
The graphics are good but it is helped alot by the movement of the game
Gameplay
The gameplay is fantastic, every time you play this game it is like a new battle. Thanks to the PS3's real time gameplay your opponents don't repeat ther actions over and over again. But Insomniac (producers) are in my own opinion, the best story writers in the business. The storyline is the thing that you come back for. I first got hooked on thier games when the first Ratchet and Clank game came out, but this game has got to have the best storyline in gaming history.
Main point
Each time you play it is like a new battle, and the storyline is why you buy the game
Sound
The music is, well, special. The thing is, you don't notice it when your playing the game, it just sets the mood of the whole place. I only noticed that when I was playing with no sound at all (so not to wake the family members) and it just diddnt feel the same. It felt like you were playing a game with the music off and with the music on it felt like you were in the game.
Main point
Without the sound it wouldnt be the same, its like taking away the guns in a gun game
Boredom Factor
First off is the game itself, it doesnt get boring full stop. The story in the game is just to good to stop half way and never play the game again.
Repeating the game in a single mode does get boring because you have done it before so there is no extra achievment.
But once you have beaten the game it still doesnt get boring, why? Because of co-op. Thats why. Co-op is really fun when you have your mates over and it is even fun when your doing it via the internet because you can just mess a round and have a laugh. And finaly online, what can I say? It is just awsome, fun as, I havnt had one boring match when I have been playing online.
Main point
Great game, Great co-op, Great online, this game will last.
Conclusion
This Game is worth it's money, although it isn't the shiniest and polished game out there it is a must have game to even people who dont like FPS games.
