Both are great games with some issues, but really in the long run for fun replay value I have to say Resistance is the winner. But before you flay me, here are my reasons why.
Resistance Fall of Man on the PS3 is a nice looking shooter with some great game play that does not break the mold for First Person Shooters. But what it does do and do very well is amp up the cool factor in level design and removing the fact that each area does not need to look like the last area syndrom which many games suffer from today.
It is also a long game and while I have not timed my self, it does come in at around 15-16 hours of play time. Which is plenty, even a little to long for a FPS.
But the main fun factor is the game changes things up constantly from driving a tank, running and gunning with tons of friendly troops, to going on a corridor shoot, to driving a mech, to a jeep, etc in open fields, sewers, underground bunkers, city scapes, towns, snow and ice areas etc. This really is something which Gears misses out on, but makes up for with chainsaw, great game play, rumble *cough* and some of the best AI.
While both games are really impossible to compare they are the "flagship" games of the holiday season past and worth checking out Resistance if you own a PS3.. its not a game that you should buy just for a PS3 though, unless you LOVE FPS..
Resistance is a must buy and 8.9/10
