Resistance 2 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

The story mode is not what I liked about this game, I rarely play the single-player modes if i don't have to. The online mode is flawless, since the new patch lag is almost non- exsistant. I really like the new download packs. they do make the game way better. I want everyone to rent then save up to keep it. Worth every dollar. Also the new PS Home Space is a nicely done effort from insomniac. I am saving up to play it for keeps. I can't imagine a r3, where would they begin? the moon? who knows?

Resistance 2... yeah, kind of a let down for me. Sure the game has pretty much the same action as the first one, but the differences between this game and Resistance: Fall of Man left a bad taste in my mouth.

The Chimera are different. They're bigger, badder, and better than the first Chimera. The regular grunts return. But now they have new monsters. For one, hatchlings. They don't need a conversion center to make a chimera. A ten foot egg is laid pretty much anywhere. These guys may not look like much but they can kill you easily in numbers. The little crawlers - as if they weren't annoying enough, they now spit acid at you. Seriously?!!! Plus, furies are here. What are they, well, if there is a large expanse of water, a furie will be there and will kill you instantainiously. They now have a craken. Plus there's a 100 ft. tall chimera. He's not that hard, and he does give you a cool action sequence. He's just too ugly. Plus, the technology, like in the movies is incredibly big and weird looking.

The female narrator has and been removed and, oh, get this. Nathan Hale has a personality. He actually talks every cutscene. Plus, he's not the only one of his kind. There are others who are like him to, known as Sentinels. They've been affected but appear human, and have Hale's abillities.

A big flaw in gameplay was the lack of a weapons wheel. Hale can only carry two weapons at a time. And there are some cool weapons in that game. Plus, the health bar has improved. Why? Because there isn't one. Just a red screen. This gets very annoying as enemies get stronger and Hale gets weaker. You'll find out why. But my biggest disapointment was the ending. Sure, the gameplay was fun at the end, but the ending wasn't cinematic enough. It had a twist, but it was just a pretty blah ending.

Overall, this game wasn't as good as Fall of Man, but it was still fan. If you liked the first one. You have to play this one. Overall, I had a good time, despite the bad challenge.
