So I finally broke down and bought a PS3 exclusive. What can I say? I am tired of staring at my PS3 and not being able to play any games on it because I don't own any. I went to Electronics Boutique and picked up Resistance: Fall of Man. I had heard a lot of great things about it, plus it had a score of 86/100 on metacritic.com.

What a disappointment. This is one of the most unexciting FPSs I've played in quite a while.

While the graphics are definitely decent, there is just not much "flair" to Resistance.

The feeling I kept getting while playing through the first several levels was "This game is like Halo meets Call of Duty 4, except not nearly as good, or entertaining as either."

The storyline has potential, but the characters (including your own) are so flat that you end up not giving a rat's ass about any of them.

I don't know. I LOVE FPSs but I don't love Resistance. Killzone 2 holds a lot of promise, but until then it is back to the 360 for quality gaming.
