Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance: Fall of Man follows an alternate history where the world did not experience World War II, the Great Depression, or the rise of Communism in Russia. An era of peace and prosperity follows the Great War, ending with the revelation of a ruthless and destructive race called the Chimera. The Chimeran virus originates in Russia, which quickly falls to the threat. The Chimera begin to build their army and invasion infrastructure. The world can only guess as to what has happened in Russia. In 1951, the year in which the game takes place, Great Britain finds itself under invasion. Both Asia and Europe have already fallen to the Chimera by this time. Very little is known about the Chimera and their origins remain unclear
The game follows the story of U.S. Army Ranger Sgt. Nathan Hale, who seems to have somewhat of a resistance to the Chimeran virus. He becomes the key figure in a desperate operation that is launched to try to halt the invasion. The next three days are chronicled in the game as the U.S. and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save what is left.
That said, this is probably the best game I've played in a long time, and I don't even really like first person shooters all that much. The most interesting aspect of the game is all of the fantastically cool weapons in your arsenal. Some weapons are based on real weapons, while some weapons are futuristically altered. Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles, such as those found in the Ratchet and Clank series, with its proprietary development engine and physics system to create unique human and Chimeran weaponry. In addition, multiple documents of Intelligence can be found scattered throughout each level. These give the player an insight into what has, is, and will happen.
Each weapon provides a unique play style and strategy. An example of this is found with the Auger (Chimeran weapon). The primary fire for this weapon is simple rapid fire energy bolts, but the bolts burrow through walls, opening up a whole new level of strategy. The secondary fire creates a barrier that is resistant to bullets. Most weapons will provide unique experiences whether they are a simple shotgun or the unique Auger.
I just thought I'd share this with y'all. This game is a must buy for any PS3 owner!!!! It totally blew me away, and I was glued to the screen for over 3 hours straight................but then my woman made me stop. 😂
(BTW, Lana, I looked for any similar threads, but I found none. Sorry if I made a dupe.)
