I thought the first one was dull and empty with bad graphics and gameplay, storyline wise, though, it was alright. However, Resistance 2 was MUCH better. Good graphics and gameplay and and awesome follow up to the story. I wouldn't recommend anyone who wasn't interested in getting to know the storyline first to get Resistance: Fall of Man; the second game pretty much explains most of the background details from the first game anyway. You could call me a small fan of Resistance, but not a large one like I am for Ratchet and Clank. Resistance 3 looks like the best one so far, storyline, graphics and gameplay wise, so yeah.
