longbough

Resistance Fall of Man ... you heard me. I got my PS3 today and fired up the game for the first 15 minutes or so. And so far I'm underwhelmed. The last FPS games I've played are Gears of War and Lost Planet - and both of them looked better and had more instinctive controls: GoW for the ability to take cover effectively and Lost Planet for the quick 90 degree turning. RFM's controls are just the basic look and run ... nothing innovative. Even Half Life 2 on the PC had more impressive aliens, environmental design, etc.

I'm hoping the game gets better. I have no idea what the big deal is about. Both Lost Planet and GoW had settings and bosses that made your jaw drop. RFM just looks and plays like Call of Duty...

*update*- I've been playing the game now for a couple of days. It's getting better. Now it looks more like Half-Life 2 but plays like most other FPS games. The game is fun and the controls are simple. Weapon choices are interesting. But still, I don't have any "oh-shit-I-can't-believe-what-I'm-seeing" moments like I had with Gears of War and Lost Planet.
