What our customer's say!

"Too Short", While the graphics were excellent, the game itself was just way too short. I felt kind of ripped off. I finished it up in about 8 hours, which is way too short a time for a great game. I would suggest renting it but don't fork out the money to buy it. I don't foresee a Resistance 3 coming out.

"Resistance 2 - Better Than The Original ", This is one of those few games that lived up to the hype for me. This game not only freshened up the graphics with some great textures and settings, but also gave quite a bit of diverse locations to fight the Chimeran invaders. Most of the negative reviews are from the typical Xbox fanboys who have too much time on their hands and post on PS3 boards and reviews. It's not a perfect game, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable one.

I played the first Resistance and found myself immersed in a shooter that I wished had never ended--it was that addicting. Resistance 2 was more of the same and many complain it lacks new features, and I say why mess with a formula that works. The graphics are better, the settings are better, the enemies are better and more clever, and the storyline better.

The shift in moving the game to the U.S. was much needed. Now there are lush forests, big sprawling cities, etc., and the muted colors of the old game are few and far between. This is one sharp-looking game.

The variety of weapons is much the same with a few new ones throw in (or updated versions of old ones). As with most shooters, you find your favorites and stick with them or use ones you know work most effective against certain enemy-types.

The music and sound effects are all big-budget sci-fi movie-type and the story is good enough to keep you wondering what is going to happen next. (I will say the ending is abrupt and leaves one shaking their head, but then again, so do a lot of movies these days.)

If I had to nitpick, it would be that some of the weapons are not that accurate, even when you are clearly targeting the enemy. (In particular, the Auger is supposed to allow you to see through solid material and target yellowish glows that represent the enemy; it is hit or miss most of the time, as to you seeing the enemy.) Also, the squad AI is really not there. Most times it seems like it's just you against the whole Chimeran army even with them by your side. Also, it is rather short at about 12hrs if you take your time. And like I mentioned above, the ending will leave some with a bad taste in their mouth.

The trophies are plenty and 30-50% seem to be able to be obtained in the single player campaign and the others in co-op and multi-player.

Overall, this is not an over-hyped game at all. It is what a sequel should be: an improvement over the original and one that keeps the elements that made the original so enjoyable.


"Better than the first one", I just wanted to say that despite what i heard i have so many good things to point, that i needed to mention them here :

PROS's
-newer and badder chimera to kill. You never will get bored at killing same class of chimera. Bosses included
- Even tough you can only carry two weapons, you will always find plenty of ammmo to enjoy
-New characters to fight along with Hale
-Great Videos that ties the story instead of seppia pictures and narrated info on missions(yhis helped me to get the story even easier than the prequel)
-Bigger Stuff to shoot at...the scale sense is notorious....
-Great end... R3 coming?

Cons:
-Kind of short total gameplay ( Online coop and competitive, compensates this!! you will always gets fresh action there
-Some graphics may look pixelated specially far enemies or weapon ... tought you may get the best possible visual graphics after R1
-we miss an on screen map!

"The Ultimate Gaming Experience!!!!!!", I don't review games that often but I have to say that this one of the finest games ever made. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first game, mainly due to the annoying weapon switch function, confusing cluster of fellow soldiers constantly in the way, and the small scale level locations. The Chimera were also kind of fake looking and didn't scare me at all.

WOW, what a change for RE2! The weapon switch is a simple button (triangle), and your team is hardly EVER in the way of the action. I also love the way Nathan "regenerates health" so you no longer need those health packs. The weapons are amazing (I LOVE THE MARKSMAN) and are all easy to use. The shooting is so much fun and very simple to use! Its almost identical to UNCHARTED in that respect.

Speaking of similarities to UNCHARTED, this is also one of the most lush and beautiful games I have seen. Who would have thought. But man, these locations are complex and so beautiful. Its definately the most immersive experience I have had. Also, if you like DEAD SPACE, this game is pretty darn close. My heart was beating like the bass drum from a MEGADEATH cd. This game is scary as hell! Beyond amazing battles, are some really fun moments where creatures of all sorts are ready to pounce you in the dark.

What a variety of species presented this time around. I still cant get over how cool it was fighting that 300 foot TITAN. Geeze, this just doesnt happen in other games as realistically as it does here. What a blast!

Now the Multiplayer. HELP, I am addicted. I cannot stop. I love the Co-op so much. It's so much fun to work as a team, WHICH YOU NEED TO DO, and experience the game from completely different maps within the game locations. Nothing in multiplayer is the same as the sigle player campaign. Yeah, sometimes their can be chaos in the 8 player, but who cares, it's a blast. I didnt like the competative death match stuff as much. Too chaotic for me, but truly an astonishing feat by SONY to be playing with 60 people in perfect real time. Much better than BAD CO., which I thought was really disappointing.

I did have one glitch in a cut scene where things froze up, but other than that, I really don't experience many glitches, and believe me, I play this game non stop. A Chimera will just be standing there once a while in multiplayer, but it doesn't effect gameplay. I can't imagine why anyone would give this game only one star. I guess you have to really love this kind of shopoter, and in that respect, its the finest game of the genre and I think it is going to be REALLY hard for SONY to top this one!

"2 player co-op is BS", It says it's a 1-2 player game on the package with 2-8 co-op in online play.

What this means is that it's nothing like the prequel game where 2 player offline co-op runs you and a buddy through a split screen co-op game of the main story line. THIS IS NOT THE CASE on Resistance 2.

This new version of 2 player split screen co-op is virtually unplayable due to the new co-op engine requiring 3 roles and obviously designed for larger parties.

This drastic of a change to the original makes this game a regrettable purchase for offline (2 peeps sitting side by side and sharing a split screen) co-op play and is very misleading considering the original game was fantastic for co-op play.

Rent it if you must but save your money if you are looking for co-op game play anything like the original version.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"New feel...but same fun.", So if you're an avid fan of the first Resistance, there are definitely some different things taking place in the game, such as the overall feel of the game, such as maps, and a lot of things changed visually-mostly for the better. Now if you've never played the first Resistance- you should- but if you haven't and just decide to pick this game up, then it is definitely something worth buying, as it has excellent online play, single player, and online co-op. The shining things in Resistance 2 are obviously the online play, which is far superior to any other games I have played in the past, as 60 player online and 8 player co-op is hard to beat, and Insomniac pulls it off. The stoyline itself is definitely worth playing through, as it has epic battles and excellent play and storyline, as well as the occasional "jump-out-of-your-seat moments" with some ok graphics to go with it. The graphics are definitely not the best ever, but they are better than the first. The only bad thing I have found with the game is that you don't actually play the 'game' in co-op, more rather some custom levels that Insomniac pulled together for people to play through, which I thought was weird.

Overall, if you liked the first Resistance, you will like this one especially if you're an online fanatic like me. Everyone should definitely pick this up, as it is an outstanding game!

"Amazing game!!!", This game contains hours of fun. Even after completing the single player campaign, the online gameplay can keep you busy even longer. Most defiantly worth buying!!

"Disappointed", I really enjoyed the 1st version of Resistance, but I'm very disappointed with this new one. I don't like the graphics or online play. The regular gameplay is nice though and the only highight in my opinion. Please if they make a Part 3 go back to the basics.

"PS3 Must Have!!", Before I had purchased this game, I was hearing about it all over the place so it caught my interest. I went out and purchased Resistance: Fall of Man to see what the hype was all about, just to find out that the game was only mediocre. Even after the fact though, I decided I needed to buy this game and try it out because of the online matches(60 players online) and I have been amazed by it. One thing that isn't mentioned on the game anywhere, is that you can go online in these huge matches with two people on one console, in a split-screen mode, allowing you to play with friends that might not have the ps3 or a copy of Resistance 2.
I highly recommend this game for PS3 owners, making it one of the best exclusive shooters, next to MGS4, on the system.

"one of my favorite games ever", this is an excellent shooter game and i think they have improved a lot since fall of man, i would definitely recomend this game to anyone who likes a good shooter game
