Resistance 2 Review

The original Resistance was an amazing playing game brought down by its lack of compelling characters, story, graphical style and musical originality, it's a lot to be brought down by and almost sound… Read more

Pros: -Guns are unique and creative -Campaign is fun -Multiplayer is great and features 60 player battles -Co-op is fun -Boss battles are epic -Good map design -Chimera are excellent enemies Cons: -We… Read more

play if you're sick of a better FPS

I wanted to really enjoy this game but it simply cannot hold my interest nearly as much a good game should. I play a fair amount of games and expect there to be fantastic game play, beautiful art or a… Read more

Online good, offline bad

The 4 words in the headline sum up my feelings on this high budget PS3 exclusive. Most reviews at the time of its release were quick to point out the excellent multiplayer suite, including the MMO-sty… Read more

Insomniac puts the original Resistance to shame with their sequel

I had a lot of fun playing Resistance 2, and when it comes to games, that’s by far the most important thing for me. It is essential that I have fun when playing a game. I can ignore graphics and I can… Read more

An Quick Summary of Resistance 2

Resistance: Fall of Man was one of my favourite PS3 games at the time. So when an sequel was announced, I was more than happy to pay top dollar for the game on Day One. Once I'd finished the game howe… Read more

Confounding single-player is a huge letdown.

Very few major gaming sites called out Resistance 2 (Giant Bomb excepted) on its confusing, disappointing single-player campaign. While the original Resistance offered a rigorous challenge with a reas… Read more

Size DOES matter. Literally.

If you enjoyed Resistance: Fall of Man's great first-person shooter experience, you will definitely benefit from this sequel that surpasses its predecessor--in several ways possible. Resistance 2 take… Read more

Bullet Point Review: Resistance 2 (PS3)

What I liked: Backgrounds - The backdrops you fight in front of in R2 are pretty amazing with lots of action and detail in them. The Chicago and San Francisco areas are, IMO, the best. What I didn't l… Read more

How would you like a cup of tea bag?

I'll only focus mainly on the online portion as I haven't really dug into the single player portion. Of all the games I'll played, the online portion can get really crazy. Team death matches of 30 ver… Read more

Resistance 2 Review

Why would I give Resistance 2 a 10? Many reasons but manly because it is almost totally perfect! This is the only ps3 game I have ever played that has not had a single noticeable glitch in the entire… Read more

Great game, but could have been better

I thought "Resistance 2" was a pretty good game, especially what it was doing with its XP system. Rather than keeping all aspects of the game separate, "Resistance 2" combined single-player, 8-person… Read more

A Varied but Forgettable Experiance

Resistance 2 is a fun fps that you probably will not remember, you won't find any memorable characters or ground breaking innovations here but it's a varied and colourful game with the co-op mode bein… Read more

Second Best FPS I've Played

Futile

The first Resistance title was the first purchase I made the day I got my PS3. At the time, Resistance was everything I wanted from a console shooter and the multiplayer options had me playing it for… Read more

Fun for the whole universe!

In short Resistance 2 is exactly what a sequel should bring. It doesn't necessarily give alot of new gameplay mechanics to offer with its overall gameplay scheme, but still improves on virtually every… Read more

Resistance 2

A solid game even if it is only a sideways step for the franchise

I am going to come right out and say it, I never finished Resistance: Fall of Man. I liked it well enough I guess, The story seemed interesting enough and at the time I got it, there really wasn't all… Read more

Resistance 2 is the perfect mix of single-player and multi-player

Resistance 2 is Resistance: Fall of man but improved in every aspect, and not only slightly but by large margins. Resistance 2 has almost as long of a single-player but is of a higher quality over all… Read more

A solid sequel to the PS3's premier launch title

Best PS3 game

In 2006, the PS3 launch was a failure, due to god awful games. But, there was a fun exclusive called Resistance from the creators of Ratchet and Clank, Insomniac games. Now, the long a waited sequel h… Read more

Now thats what i call a shooter!

Wow, I can honestly say that after I played this game.. Simply wow. As stated in my past review I am a huge RPG nerd so it takes a little something to pull me into a shooter. And Resistance 2 brought… Read more

A great game, but not perfect.

First of all, Im a huge fan of the first resistance so i already had promised myself to love this game. So I might be more forgiveable to some of the games faults than many other would be. So, the Sin… Read more

Multiplaer Brilliance

This review a little premature seeing as I haveen't even come close to completing the SP Campaign, and is certainly too sort for a game with this scope but I'm going to bang this out...and then get ba… Read more

Holy crap

Resistance 2 is everything that a stellar sequel should be, and then some. The graphics, sound, and scale of the game have received dramatic overhauls since the first Resistance, and the new additions… Read more

War has changed. But just a bit.

Resistance 2 Review Graphics are great... No doubt, the graphics are better in many ways. More enemies on the screen, more colorful etc. It still has some of the monochromatic themes per level but the… Read more

Co-op is a blast for those who play well with others.

Resistance 2 is a game that tries to spread itself out evenly between multiplayer and single player. It takes some risks which unevenly pay off. Overall the game is not more than the sum of its parts,… Read more
