Resistance: Fall of Man was a launch title for the PS3 in Europe. This game was a big hit for PS3 owners as it was one of the only good games of the time of launch. It's mix of superb storyline which rewards the player for looking deeper into characters and events, and brilliant online mode gave the PS3 a firm foundation for its future.

Gameplay: 7
This game didn't really do anything special in terms of gameplay. Standard controls for a FPS were put in place and guns were reasonably average (apart from a good idea with the wall-penetrating 'Auger' gun). Using aliens on multi-player is cool the first time, but quickly becomes annoying, as they can't crouch down.
Graphics: 7
This game doesn't really look great, it has a good frame rate with no slow-down online EVER. Explosions look good and character models are solid. Nothing special/nothing bad.
Sound: 8
Good music plays on the player's thoughts and makes them feel tense/excited at appropriate points in the story mode. Great character voices and gun noises throughout.
Online: 10
This game is amazing online. It has always worked and has always been solid, just like online games should be. Very impressive microphone audio, which for me, is a must. There is also a great party system where you and your freinds can go into a match and talk to each other without having to hold any buttons down. Map add ons ensure the game will have lasting appeal, and 40 player matches are great fun. Rank increases and effective clan support also help this game cement its place as the best online game on the PS3.
Longevity: 10
The game's online capabilities make this one last a long time. There is some replay value for offline players though, such as intelligence packs which give you more in-depth information on the storyline. There are lots of different difficulty levels for veterans of the game. New guns with replay and achievments which unlock cool stuff like concept art, help the game's longevity get the perfect score.

Overall Score: 9/10

+Brilliant online mode
+Lots of replay value
+Great storyline
-Gameplay doesn't do anything new

Quick summary: A must buy for online gamers
