As arguably the most anticipated PS3 launch title,
Resistance: Fall of Man has a lot riding on its shoulders. So how good is the alternate history first-person shooter with an alien twist favoring in early reviews? Pretty good with positive things being said about the game's single campaign, co-op, and 40 multiplayer online modes. With a current average of four reviews equaling
90/100, here's what hasty critics are saying:
- GameZone (95/100): "It would have been a remarkable title a year into the life of the PS3, but as it is a launch title, it is even more remarkable. With incredible graphics, an evolving story, great action and weapons, Insomniac and Sony have nailed the launch of the game and system seamlessly."
- IGN (91/100): "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 ... Above all else, it's the multiplayer elements that truly ascend this one to the next level. It's a must have for sure."
- GameBrink (91/100): "When you kill an enemy it doesn't disappear and when you blow up part of the near fully destructible environments the pieces don't go away either. The obvious power of the PS3 and the masterful coding work of the developers let everything stay on screen all the time while never taking a frame hit. This is an incredible accomplishment for a launch game on any system."
- 1UP (85/100): "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."

In my opinion, if Game Informer gives it a good review, you know the game is going to be awesome.

I think GoW looks better.
I haven't played either.
What bugs me is the whole scenery of RFOM, Gears of War's scenery just looks much more enticing imo.
Also, if I want to play huge multiplayer games (even 24?+ people), I'll play a PC game like Battlefield 2 or 2142, which are both freaking awesome. And don't make this an EA thing...

"yes its the wii's turn but there is a little game called legend of zelda that could pull off a score of 9+"
That game's graphics suck, gamplay wise it's nothing but a 3rd person hack and slash, so how is it really worth a 9+ rating? Game rating sites shouldn't rate controllers or nostalgia factor, they should rate games on the actual game and nothing else. Sure Zelda will get a good review, but that's just because of nostalgic fanboyism.

Optimus Prime, delusional isn't a strong enough word for you if you honestly think that all "EU3 games are gonna look like Gears or better."

The only reason people compare them is because their launch dates are so close together. Both look fun though.

Get over the fact the Wii doesn't have "nextgen" graphics.It wasn't built to blow your god damn mind. Get over it. No more shallow comments with the graphics please. This machine was built for a new way to play games.
Next, why do you consider Zelda just another hack and slash? Its the same shit that makes RFOM just another FPS. Oh, its got this and that, sweet weapons, great environments and whatnot. News flash buddy, Zelda may just be a 3rd person hack and slash, but its got more bells and whistles than you can count...and these aren't some bullshit gimmicky bells and whistles I'm talking about here.
Last but not least, this game is not going to get a good review because of "nostalgic fanboyism". For example, Robert Summa over at Destructoid posted and article talking about how he has never been into Zelda. At all...and this game has caused him multiple scatterblasts in the general pelvic region. In fact, I was never into Zelda until the Windwaker and apparently everyone hates that one. Damn son. If Zelda games only got good reviews because of the fanboyism, then Nintendo could churn out Zeldas yearly.
No my friend, this game will not get a good review from "nostalgic fanboyism". This game will get a good review because it is a good game.
So shucher mouth and don't be so god damn shallow next time.

1. GOW is good, in fact it's the 360's best game. However, it's not going to have the impact either of the Halos did. Its multiplayer just won't have the legs to keep it interesting for as long. It plays great, but there's nothing, NOTHING more annoying than getting killed in the first few minutes of a match and watching some shitbird on your team hide the last 4 minutes to earn a draw instead of a loss. This one facet has turned 2 of my friends away from its multiplayer (I, on the other hand have more patience and am having a blast). Not to mention the only 3 game variants are all death-match-derivitaves.
Resistance is solid, there's absolutely no question about it. Is it a system seller? Probably not. Is GOW? Not so much either. The multiplayer of Resistance sounds like it could have real potential, but is it worth the 600+? If it breaks as much ground as either of the Halos, then it could be worth shelling out the cash for the PS3.
With regards to all the "Wii needs to produce.." stuff: we seem to be comparing shooters in this case. Red Steel seems like it will fall flat of producing 9+'s accross the board. But Zelda will most likely deliver. Nintendo has almost NEVER sold consoles because of shooters (except Goldeneye), so for the purposes of making it successful, Zelda will probably carry the Wii. Metroid Prime on the other hand.. well, we'll have to wait and see won't we?
