I'm two years late to the PS3 party because I wasn't going to drop $600 on a game system. WHen they hit $299 it was enough for me to make the plunge. WIth this game in the <$20 range it's a great pick up and a no brainer. Content wise it will keep you going for hours and a great use of all the main features of the controller + system. Multiplayer is still alive and well and it was easy to find a group of people to run around and shoot at.
The story line was a surprise to me as I had not read any reviews and had only played it slightly in the store years ago. Having it set in the 1950s was a surprise and a welcome treat because I'm a fan of alternative history speculative fiction. The bad guys are pretty tough in the PVE mode and include teaming up on you and going for cover. Very creative for FPS even with the newer titles out.
The opening chapter/massacre was pretty intense considering how blind I went into it. THings softened up a bit afterwords but at first I was wondering if it was going to be this difficult even at the medium difficulty.

This game is an absolute blast to play. The campaign is very well written with great, informative cinematic part between missions. Also, most importantly, the campaign is LONG! Do not expect to beat this thing in 5-6 hours like a Call of Duty game. It will easily take 10+ hours. The first night I got it, my friend and I sat down and played the campaign in split screen co-op for about 6-7 hours and only got half way through, and the later missions take longer due to their difficulty.
I'm not one of those reviewers that breaks down the game to scrutinize each part, I judge it on how much fun it is to play, and this game really is fun. The storyline is interesting, and the game play is great.
I have yet to play online though I did play some split screen competitive with some friends, and my only gripes are that though you can only have 4 people play locally, their smallest map is 8 player, and also, you can't link two PS3's and play 4 person per PS3. When linking systems, you go down to 1 person per console. So basically you need 5 consoles for 5 people but only 1 console for 4. Very lame if you ask me. Also, the damage needs to be turned down to about 20% for any real fun game play, or else everything is more or less a one hit kill.
As for the campaign, was that in co-op mode, the second player is just some random guy that is never mentioned in the storyline or cinematic parts, so he's like a ghost that appears and disappears.
However, despite my gripes, I still gave it 5/5 for both fun and overall because this game really is a ton of fun and it is overall very good.
It is one of the few games that allow split screen co-op for the main campaign (VERY disappointed that they don't have this in Resistance 2 - I have just ordered this and have yet to receive it).

First said, im only commenting on multiplayer deathmatch. Ive played multiplayer for many years, back when doom and duke nukem were new. Of all the games with intense multiplayer competition, fall of man is the best. The call of duty series and the old un-animated half life probable come very close. You can't run thru a door and drop a frag or hedgehog grenade and waste all that follow any quicker than fall of man. Face a group of supreme commanders and get your tail handed back to you. Nice :)

Nice balance for a first person shooter!! Really cool storyline, inmersive and nicely balanced with all the chaos form the chimera!!! At first, for all the casual gamers, the controls take time getting used to but never the less is an exponential curve and in no time its the least of your problems when surrounded by 10-15 hybrids all shooting merciless on you!!! Play the game's storyline and really enjoy!!! Call a friend and enjoy one of the strongest co-op storyline games I have ever seen (trust me, after playing from Perfect Dark to James Bond to Timeslpitters to Metroid its A REAL DEAL!)
And playing online is madness, sweet, chaos and everything else as it is enjoyable but mayhem is awesome!!! Playing with other 39 players(!!!) is just pure craziness in a very satisfying and incredible way!!!
