If you are talking abiut the quality of the graphics indeed I totally agree. Some flat textures on the model and polygon edges. This one unlike DOOM3, atleast has huge open enviroments, vast draw distance, and tons of things happening on screen.

I'll see if I can get some. I might end up forgetting -- it'd need to be a video too, as pictures don't really show it very well.
I think there was a video of the Snow recently -- it's the area where you have to jump on the rooftops.
I think what nAo was saying is that a game can look great for art and content reasons, and not technical reasons. Many people thought Half Life 2 looked amazing, but the Source engine is primitive, a piece of hacked up junk IMHO, and HL2 looks good because of excellent texture, geometry, and character design. I don't know anything about the Resistance engine to say anything technically tho.
I'd love to see some of those effects too. Haven't seen any vids or even half-decent screenshots so far ... What has drawn me to Resistance is the physics, above anything else, as this shows, to me at least, areas in which we can expect to see some nice innovations.
Even simple stuff by the way like the way the couch is shot to pieces in one of the multiplayer maps in GoW is pretty neatly done. This stuff really adds to the experience.
Is "Chimera Cooties" an integral part of the gameplay?

Well...where do you think baby Chimera's come from? It's key!
Yeah, and you have to shake the sixAxis to get the insanely smart "cooties" (thanks to the smarter cell chip than our brain) off you and even use your anti-cootie shampoo weapon which makes insanely realistic deadly bubble effects that kill them. Or even use the sixAxis to simulate scratching on certain areas of the characters body (you know where) because you had some lovely time with the Chimera earlier (huggies kisses) so your main character wouldnt lose concentration, smooth movement and precise aim from the virtual itchiness.
..........What am I saying? Someone slap me
I am more than slightly disturbed now... 
*slaps Nesh*
(with a spade)
Next time use a whip. I prefer whips. They are so kinky.
Anyways back to the game
Are there any other uses for the sixAxis besides shaking to get a chimera off?
Apparently you can also use the SIXAXIS to extinguish yourself if you happend to have caught fire (forward-backward), and you can trust forward for melee action.
Gamespot has a guide now for members, which has videos of some of the tougher sections, and two of these have the snow we discussed earlier. Very nice, indeed! Even follows different wind-speeds in different sections. I also loved the nuclear reactor ... a certain 'creature' there was rather impressive, looks promising to have such creatures to fight against in games in the future.
I also looked at the guide for Gears, and I can see that all the energy in that title went into creating some big fellas. The big spider is nice, although he seems a bit pathetic (far too afraid of you and your pesky gun). But his surface and skin textures look excellent, and the game has some great lighting effects. I can see what the fuss is about.
Love the physics and huge areas in Resistance though! Look forward to giving the game a go sometime soon.

It's not (just) the cars - there's a different type of grenades that set people on fire, which I suppose you get a little later in the game.

Look at what Cliffy B. (maker of Gears of War) has to say about Resistence.
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/resistancefallofman#users
Even the man that made one of the best looking games in history has said these great things about Resistence. Honestly man this is a great great looking game. And I'm playing it in SD right now.
HDTV playing should start sometime this week for me.
It says "Cliff B", actually. Since when does Cliffy call himself Cliff?^^ Just because it says Cliffy B it doesn't mean it is the real one. Believe or not my name isn't really Ben-Nice

Well the way he expressed his opionion it seems like it could have been him. Anyways Cliffy did say you looked forward to playing this game a lot in the past so....

Honestly, I don't think that Cliffy would spend half of a review on graphics. After reading his blog, listening to him on blogcasts and interviews, etc. I'd be pretty hesitant to believe that he wrote that.
