Resistance: Fall of Man has everything that a flagship launch title should. It looks great and runs well, it has a compelling single-player campaign and its multiplayer aspect is not only fantastic fun but it shows off the PlayStation 3's online capabilities. This is the PlayStation 3's showpiece game through and through, and we're thrilled to get something this complete and expansive at launch.
Insomniac is well known for its weapon and character design, and the developer doesn't disappoint with Resistance. The creatures that come at you through the course of the game not only get bigger and stronger, but move, act and think differently, providing for ever-changing encounters. The weapons are wildly unique, each offering multiple modes of fire that challenges the player to come up with different strategies and think on their toes.
While the single-player game is good, multiplayer is likely to be what's most fondly remember about Resistance in years to come. To say it's big would be an understatement. With 40 player support, more than a half-dozen game types, the ability to play as humans or Chimera... I could go on and on. The point is that it's fun as hell and should keep us all glued to our systems for weeks if not months.
