"It's probably just me"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I got this game expecting a lot more and was let down quite a lot. It is a good game but I think I may have just bought it a bit late and so have the likes of KZ3 to compare it too. It is considered an old game now so I shouldn't really complain about graphics also it has been a good 3yrs since I played the first one so forgot the story a little bit but it feels like their is a big chunk missing we go from hale being picked up to just being expected to know what's going on with the whole sentinel thing. Maybe if I play the first one again then do this story I might like it better but if you are only just buying this don't expect a lot remember it is old now.

"A brilliant sequel."
5 stars"

Resistance 2 is one of the best first person shooters on the PS3. You probably need to have played Resistance Fall of Man to really grasp this game, but even so I would highly recommend Resistance 2.

It features a great, mysterious campaign full of twists and an intriguing shock ending. You will fight through a multitude of different settings, ranging from Bryce Canyon, Chicago, and a giant Chimeran ship. Not to mention a plethora of incredible, massive, boss battles.

R2 also features a great standalone co-operative mode, playable both off and online. It features three different classes, Soldier, Spec Ops, Medic, and each offers valuable assistance to the other classes, resulting in the need for true team work. You and your comrades will fight it out over a dozen or so different locations with about a hundred different combinations of objectives.

And on top of that, R2 also features a robust competitive multiplayer also playable both off and online. It features great game modes, great maps, and with so many different weapons, accessories, and skill perks, offers hundreds of different character variations.

All in all expect to play Resistance 2 for easily over 100 hours, and if you're really keen, you can even go after PS3's hardest trophy (10,000 kills in online competitive play). A must have game for proud PS3 owners.

"Good follow up but not a masterpiece"
4 stars"

As a follow up to the original Resistance: Fall of Man, it is overall a good game. If your looking for an epic, then you may be slightly disappointed. Dont get me wrong, visually its amazing. Story line is also good, but for a hardcore gamer, especially if your an FPS expert, you will probably have the game completed within a day or 3.

There is a lot of new Chimera in the game and each graphically done very well.

The strongest feature this game has is the online play. Great choices between co-operative and competitive, and with the ranking and medal rewards, it will have you logging in to play again and again and again.

"A great shoot him up game"
5 stars"

Love the shoot him up games and this one didnt dissapoint. The game is linera but thats ok as the action is nearly constant. The guns and ability to pick up any gun is great. Did suck that you could only carry a few at a time tho. Its been out for a while but stilla good buy.
