Reviews of Resistance 2

    Reviewer: GameSpot

    All in all, Resistance 2 is an excellent game. The stirring scale of the single-player levels is impressive and the pervasive details make them truly awesome. Despite the squandered story, blasting your way through the campaign is electrifying, thanks largely to the deadly weapons in your arsenal. The cooperative multiplayer is a resounding success, and the competitive modes are terrific in their own right. Anyone looking for a superb shooter experience need look no... Read more

    Resistance 2's single-player is a patchy mix of some rather spectacular set pieces with otherwise underwhelming, run-of-the-mill shooting action that just doesn't rise to the standards set by today's best shooters. But it has to be commended for its massive multiplayer games and efforts in co-op. Read more

    As far as frantic FPS action goes, Resistance 2 certainly offers more than most. The few set pieces are generally epic, and there are constantly numerous bullets flying across the screen as humanity tries to strike back against the Chimeran threat. But, the frequent deaths, the dull main character, and some new irritating enemies hold this one back from being a true classic. A shame. Read more

    Those who loved the original won't be disappointed; a fantastic sequel packed to the brim with action, amazing scenery and a rich storyline. Plenty of new Chimeran to unload your ammo into and the online modes are great too, a definite must-have for PS3 owners! Read more

    In today's gaming milieu, the First Person Shooter has emerged as something of a banner genre; it would seem that every platform is judged in the eyes of the hardcore by the quality of its signature shooter. Indeed, such was the case with Insomniac Games' PlayStation 3 title Resistance: Fall of Man . By virtue of its position as a FPS launch title, early adopters gathered at its heels and elevated a solid but unremarkable game with a fun multiplayer into a veritable... Read more

    The graphics were dark orange in the begining then when I got to the prison the coloring was still to poor for good game play, oh yeah I can play and there were aliens which appeared to be kind of 1980's theamed. The game doesn't say play me it says we tried to make a game. Read more

  2. Not the best FPS, but a great shooter nonetheless

    This game starts where the 1st one left off (literally), and the action takes place in America this time. Being set in the U.S.A means the whole game is bigger, and badder than the 1st one (America being much larger than the U.K you see). Graphics are alot better, with smoother textures, and more colour than before. The enemy A.I is not the best - they just come swarming towards you, instead of ducking and hiding ect.. - but the Chimera are more varied and nastier than... Read more

    Amazing campaign, great co-op, & an addicting multiplayer makes this worth every penny. A must buy! Guns did feel a bit...cheap, but overall were great. Read more
