Resistance: Fall of Man (PlayStation 3)
common sense media says
Intense sci-fi title for mature action fans.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this game contains graphic violence and gore. It's played from an immersive first-person perspective where the fight is against an alien race instead of humans. However, friendly fire is part of the game, so you can shoot other soldiers and watch the blood fly. Expect to see gory close-ups of heads being shot off and blood raining down as creatures explode. Characters under duress swear. Parents should be aware that the game allows for online play; Common Sense Media does not recommend unsupervised online play for anyone under the age of 12.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Many scenes of intense fighting, with gory repercussions. You can use a sniper rifle to zoom in and take down creatures with a bloody head shot. Once you have pumped Chimera creatures with enough bullets to take them down, they begin to scream before exploding into blood chunks, which rain down.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not out of context, but players will hear things such as "holy s--t" and "move your ass."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

I was disapointed
I was looking forward to this game for a while, and when I got my PS3 and popped the disk in, I have to say I was a little bit dissapointed. I mean, at first I thought "WOW, this game is fun!" But after a while it got very repetitive, I wanted more Tanks, Jeeps etc. Like in Halo, just to get away from running around, There were Tanks and Jeeps tho, but I wanted more.
The Nice part of the game is that its long, not short like 360 games.
Over all, this game was ok.

LOL...die aliens
First off, there is like no language in this game, I heard more language in Shrek. The violence is bloody and there's some gore. you can also shoot dead enemies and blood flies. Fine for anyone who can take a some blood.

Doesn't deserve its' reputation
Hi this is my first review
This game is a brilliant game but there is some bad stuff in it
Violence: Blood is noticeable a lot throughout the game. Certain guns result in more or less levels of blood. Certain aliens produce more blood than others Hybrids for example shooting them every bullet produces blood note: most of the aliens are like that. Whereas Titans don’t draw much blood until they die which they explode but there isn’t much blood by them exploding.
Language: Not that bad it is meant to say holy s**t but I have only heard it once but it isn’t that bad because I have played it loads of times over and over again and I have only heard it once by my team-mate shouting it.
Sex: none.
Drugs and social behaviour: none.
Message: Nothing much other than when countries fall help them survive and work as a team.
A great game recommend it for 10 and up
But if they can’t take a bit of blood then not recommended.

one of the best games ever made.
although this game says strong language, there is practically NO CUSSING. they say "hell" at most 5 times the worst is the s-word once. but the blood is pretty heavy as well as violence. 3 creatures explode into many pieces when shot enough, little scorpion like bugs pop like a fly on a windshield when shot. the violence is just as bad as any other shooting game. so basically if they took the blood out of this game(or at least half of it) then it would be rated T.

Violently awsome
The first action shooter for Ps3 is out of the gates and running. Despite the mild violence, there are many redeming qualities. The action sequences are huge and explosive. With weapons that can shoot t.v. guided rockets, to frags that are napalm in a can, its all good fun. One good quality is the learning. The AI are extremely advanced, the second or third best I've ever seen. This challenges kids to be a effective and skilled killer. Instead of mundain shoot,duck,frag,and shoot combat, there are strategies that come into play. To survive, players must use effective cover(because lighter cover is distructable) and learn to flank. Teamwork is also important. With more men, you can survive longer. There are certain secenes in which a teammate may be about to be eaten alive by smaller,numerous enemies. If you save him, you have a better chance to survive. There are also many great social and moral themes, like togetherness. The world is bieng taken over and all humans left have taken up arms in defense of the race. If the world was under siege, I know I'd want my kids to know how to be a hero.

Not as bad as Resistance 2.
After playing and reviewing Resistance 2, For some reason I get the sequel before the 1st. I decided to have a go at this. Its not as bad as Resistance 2. Its still graphic though. Blowing creatures into chunks is unpleasant shall we say? There is a lot of blood in this and a lot of very graphic headshots. I saw a decapitation at a time. But i'm not sure if it happened or they just fell weirdly. The language is what you hear normally. Its in moderation. Very mature still.

Fun but dark shooter for the PS3.
The game is not as bad as you would think just by looking at the cover. Honestly I think anyone 15 years old can handle the violence, but just due to the dark tone of the game, as well as the various creatures that are in the game, the game is alright anyone around 16. The game is fun, even if it is a bit repetitive later on, and should be in anybody's PS3 collection.

I wunna kill some aliens
This game is great. The WW2 visuals combined with the futuristic wepons and ships creates an amazing mixture. I also like the fact that this game has non-stop action where you can run and gun. The feeling of seeing a big alien being destroyed and explode is great altho violent. Parents should be aware that this game is gory and violent altho not to the extreams. The worst the violence gets in this game is when a creature will explode in chunks of meat (this is somewhat hidden in an exploding flash of fire). The language only gets as bad as "Son of a B**ch" but " D**n, hell, and goddamn" are used somewhat frequently. A great game highly reccomend.

Good Action Game
I played this with my friend, and I admit, It was good, It was also somewhat of a disappointment. The graphics are truly amazing, but the enemies are hard to defeat, even on easy. I recommend this game for kids 10+ because of the difficulty.

Amazing sci-fi shooter
This is an awesome game with a great story. The graphics aren't the best because it was made in 2006 but that doesn't matter. It is violent and blood does splatter on walls and the floor and poors out of wounds of both enemies and allies. The larger creatures explode into chunks when killed. It does tend to get creepy when your in abandoned train stations all alone with hordes of Chimera to fight off. The language wasn't bad at all, what you would expect from a PG-13 movie. One time I heard what sounded like f--king but it might of been bugging. There was a handful of s--t, d--n, h--l, and various British profanity like bloody h--l, bugger, etc. Neither blood nor language can be removed. I might even get this game for a mature 10 year old. Totally awesome game and your kid will love it.

One of the best games i have ever played
Resistance is without a doubt one of the best games i ever played. The gameplay and enemy AI offers an experience that, I think, rivals that of the Xbox LIVE play for Halo 2. The action keeps you on your toes and constantly thinking of a strategy to overcome the enemy. A deffinate must-have for any PS3 owner.

Sci-fi shooter has plenty of battle-style violence. Not for kids.
Resistance is a fairly violent and gory, but still dated video game that was also one of the first games ever for the PS3 gaming system, and so the already dated graphics make the violence look a bit sillier and less realistic. Still, this is a horror-sci-fi-action-shooting games that can be quiet terrifying at parts, primarily during a sequence where you must kill many of the chimera creatures in a underground level which is very dark and hard to see. Also, there is plenty of bloody violence and gore when the chimera creatures are shot, and some of the smaller ones often explode into huge bloody chunks that rain down on you. Finally, there is occasional profanity like F-ck, sh-t, ass, h-ll and more, but mostly during the intense action sequences. Still, the M Rating is well deserved and is not for young gamer's.
