It's July, 1951. An alien race known as the Chimera have taken over Europe. This bizarre alien race has moved westward to infect the entire European continent with a virus that transforms its people into ugly gun-wielding monsters. World War II never happens in this story but humanity's cities still fell. In the midst of this, players assume the role of Sergeant Nathan Hale, a tough-as-nails American soldier that joins Britain's final defense effort. That's where your story begins.

At first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking this game was a Medal of Honor or Call of Duty game. The land you see before you looks like something out of those games with rubble and steel littered everywhere around you. That's where it ends. When you face your first enemy, you realize it's something quite different. The atmosphere in the game is what makes it so special. At times, it's can be extremely creepy, especially when you're going through dark corridors amd maze-like tunnels. When you think you'll be facing the Chimera, you don't. When you don't think you will, you do. In that respect, Resistance will keep you alert and ready for anything. The weapons, much like in Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank series, come in a wide variety. I won't lie to you, though, Resistance is challenging..very challenging..as in hard as heck. I guarantee you that, if you stick with it, you walk away from the game feeling very satisfied. As for multiplayer, you will be pleased..it's absolutely amazing.

The only gripes I had with the game are that co-op can only be played offline when most games have went online with their co-op and that most of the areas started to look the same to me after awhile. You can count the ending of the game in there, as well. Considering there's a Resistance 2, I guess I could let that one pass.

At any rate, Resistance: Fall of Man is an exceptional FPS game. Considering what I went through to make it to the end of the game, I'm going to have to think about getting the second game in the series. I've played some hard FPS in my time but this one really challenged my expertise in playing this game. I think what I loved most about the game was it's old-school FPS style, Doom 3-like enemies and the fact that challenging yet addictive enough to where you'll want to go back into battle once more. Definitely a FPS that ranks up there with the absolute best of the them. My only gripes about the game is there was just too much grey and brown in the game. Everything seemed to blend in together in the game.
