Resistance 2 is not perfect but it is one of the best games I`ve had the pleasure of playing on Playstation 3 and this generation, there`s no way around it. The score does not mean perfection, it refers to the quality of the game that lets it distinguish itself from others in the genre. The epic campaign would be itself more than enough to secure a high score but Insomniac gives us cooperative and competitive modes that raise the game to a superior level. Resistance 2 is a epic that should be alongside any Playstation 3.
Not many gamers will actually get the advertised 400+ hours of life out of it, but the solo, co-op, and competitive multiplayer options should keep R2 spinning in your PS3 well past the holiday season, and probably until Killzone 2 arrives.
The evolution over the first game is quite remarkable, more depth in the characters and with more action, a bigger and more balanced Multiplayer, a new cooperative mode that is unique, its visuals and animations are a huge improvement.
When it comes down to it, Resistance 2 is bigger, faster, and just plain better than the original - and the original was quite good. It may have its shortcomings, but the sheer enormity of everything that is offered on the disc overshadows the game's minor slip-ups.
Fast paced from beginning to end, visually impressive and with a great multiplayer serving as the icing on an already delicious cake, Resistance 2 has earned its right to rub shoulders with the greatest of the genre.
Resistance 2 has a rubbish single-player campaign, which left me angry and confused. The lack of coherent storytelling is my biggest issue, but there's really nothing wrong with the overall gameplay. I am still of the opinion that the rest of the package makes it one of the best multiplayer shooters currently out for the PlayStation 3. Though my experience with the co-op definitely varied depending on the group I was with, it never ceased being entertaining.
Resistance 2 is every bit the product of Resistance: Fall Of Man’s mentality: it’s OK to do things by the numbers so long as those numbers are bigger than everyone else’s. [Christmas 2008, p.91]
Resistance 2 is better than the first game, but barely. Graphically it is leaps and bounds better than the first while the story remains as interesting as the original, in fact its a continuation, but gameplay is even more dull and one dimensional than the first game, if you can believe that, I really didn't think it could get more one dimensional than the first game but somehow Insomniac managed it here. The very mild peppering of variety the first game had with driving jeeps, being able to use mounted turrets, and drive tanks is all gone replaced with dull as dishwater traipsing from point A to point B from start to finish of the game only this time combat is made more boring because you can only carry two weapons at a time. There is just as many shenanigans in this game as the first as well to pad playing time and rather than the game introducing different obstacles mobs just get more and more the deeper into the game you get. Enemies that could have provided genuinely interesting challenges are used once or twice at most never to be seen again, play it if you like FPS games on consoles, for everyone else just watch a youtube game movie video for the story and move on.
Good game. Good story mode . Fight the aliens for hours. Fordernd auf normalen Level. Steuerung gewöhnungsbedürftig spielt sich aber ein. Story spannend .
Horribly boring game with poor level design, weak weapons, and bullet sponge enemies. Nothing from the first game was fixed this time around. If you didn't like the first game you won't like this one.
