Resistance 2

The first one I just turned off because it's crap.so now number two what's really really Glitchy and clunky. But it does redeem hissef how stupid the physics are in this game if you shoot a alien they go flying off somewhere. But I'll say this play this game on casual is no point of PLAYING on hard. because you rearrange it a lot because enemies walk through walls they can headshot you through walls. But it's just fun when you play easy trust me. UMA UMA UMA out

Game became much better than terrible first part. The protagonist now knows more than 2 words, learned how to run.

Developers added normal cut-scenes, added auto health regeneration, normal shooting mechanic, action scenes, better plot presentation. The picture became more pleasant, more interesting locations.

Game on medium difficulty is too difficult, some enemies could oneshot me, too many enemies at once, little disbalanced. Bad checkpoints, pause doesn't work, on pause I can be killed, and you can't skips the cut scenes.

I fired up my old PS3 after nearly 2 years of no use, and elected to start with the Resistance trilogy. As mentioned in a previous review, despite some clunk, Fall of Man had aged exceptionally well, so I looked forward to what I remembered being the series black sheep.

Resistance 2 is a divisive beast. While the overall quality of the game was never in question (it was and still is exceptionally well produced), elements of the story and changes to the gameplay were not exactly loved by fans of thd original, including my teenage self. So it was something of a pleasant relief to see that the game was better than I remembered.

Taking control of Hale again, we are now a part of a team stopping the chimera from invading the USA, this time led by insane human/chimera hybrid Daedalus. If there is something I can give this game over the 1st, it's scale. This thing is huge! It genuinely feels like the end of the world. The story works as a great excuse to move us from location to location, and it all feels natural. It is very different in tone from the 1st, but that isn't a bad thing.

What is a bad thing is that the characters are very hit and miss, namely misses. Hale suffers the worst, with his refusal to take his life saving medicine being very flimsy and making him come off as kinda dumb. Daedalus is also a very uninteresting villain, speaking poetically and having a very peculiar design (and an even more peculiar boss fight), though he does work well enough as a threat. Only Doctor Malakov and Joe Cappelli really work as engaging characters, but their screen time is minimal until the final chapters.

The gameplay leads to some phenomenal setpieces and spectacular (if simplistic) boss fights. The issue fans have is that it abandoned the 1st games weapon wheel, limiting you to only 2 weapons at a time, and ridding you of health packs so that you heal over time (the fact that Resistance 3 brought both back makes it more perplexing that this was done). It feels odd in this series, and was completely unnecessary. But in the game as is, it works. It adds to the sense of thrill and scale, even if I do find myself missing the tension of low health and the freedom of weapon choice.

Compared to its former and latter brothers, Resistance 2 falls short, but it is by a hair. It is a damn good game and absolutely worthy of the 8 hours it asks for. If you have the means to, play it as soon as you are able. Game 3 is just around the corner, and the ending of this has me begging for more.

Ah, Resistance is the only reason I bought the PS3. I picked up both of the games on the same day, I bought the collectors edition of this. It was worth it for the art book and Chimera figure. Now since I played two before one, I ended up liking the feel of two better. This game is tied with God of War 3 for my favourite PS3 exclusive. I can throughly say this is one of the best FPS games I have ever played, here's my thoughts.

The Game: The story picks up directly after the first game ended, and you are quickly thrown into battle against a Goliath war machine. Well you destroy it with a few rockets, was that a boss or just a side objective, it was pretty lame. The game's controls are now identical to lets say Call of Duty world at war, except the sensitivity on your movements is different. Now you can only carry two weapons, I would have at least liked two primary's and a special, but I can accept just two. Hale now talks more, he literally only said a couple words in the first game. The graphics are great, they don't look realistic, but they do go hand in hand with the atmosphere, the music fits this game very well, it couldn't have been better. I would rate the atmosphere a 10/10 stars. There are quite a few boss battles in this game, only one offers some difficulty, that one being The Swarm. The Kraken was short lived. The Maurader required you to head glitch out of a window, good job so far Insomniac. I must say the Leviathin stage is incredible, how on earth could you beat this thing, simple shoot it in the eye. Some of the more basic enemies offered more of a challenge. This game strives for huge memorable moments and it achieves them all. The auger is the most improved weapon in the game, it is really powerful. You get enough enemy variety, and they all look great, they did a good job. This game is definitely bigger and better than Call of Duty, but don't worry Resistance 3 toned it down a lot. I have some truly great memories with this game, you would have had to have played it when it first came out to get the full effect, nothing beat playing some Resistance 2 on the PS3.

Co-op and multi-player: The online mode was fun for about 5 hours, then I got sick of it. But I must say dozens of players going at each other on a single street made for some chaotic fun. I have to say the co-op is superior to the online mode, it has much more re-playability.

The verdict: This game is a fond memory that I will never forget, I highly recommend it. Note that nostalgia had a impact on my score.

This game is flawless, brings back so many old memories, one of the best games i ever played, the trilogy of resistance will always have a place in my heart, I do hope they release the 4 soon but it is unlikely.
