Resistance: Fall of Man is arguably the most eagerly awaited launch title for the PS3. Does Sony’s next gen console have it’s first killer app, or its first major disappointment?
Reviews:
1UP: (7.4 out of 10) “It’s no secret that this is intended to be the beginning of a new franchise. And with the list of questions built up even before the sequel-setting ending, the potential for a refined return engagement measures almost off the charts. For now, Resistance falls a little short of being the hoped-for “Halo-killer,” but with a package that would be considered complete by any standards, it delivers a launch classic, and it lives up to its billing as the PS3’s killer app.”
Gamespot: (8.6 out of 10) “If you consider yourself a fan of first-person shooters, then you really owe it to yourself to give Resistance: Fall of Man a shot. Whether that means taking the plunge for a PlayStation 3, playing one over at your filthy-rich friend’s house, or whatever else it’s going to take is beside the point. What matters is that developer Insomniac Games took the best aspects of some of the best first-person shooters from the past couple of years, added some great weapons and visual flourishes, and put it all together just in time for the PS3’s launch.”
IGN: (9.1 out of 10) “Resistance doesn’t have to be perfect to be fun, and fun is exactly what it is. From start to finish, Fall of Man is one hell of an outstanding roller coaster ride that every last PS3 owner needs for day one. Epic boss battles (the final few are crazy!), ever-changing scenery, addictive weaponry, and a unique thematic are just a few of the reasons Resistance stands out. But above all else, it’s the multiplayer elements that truly ascend this one to the next level. It’s a must have for sure.”

Bottom Line:
It may not be the most original FPS ever released (think Half-Life 2, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor), but it is certainly the must-have launch title for the PS3.
