Resistance 2 puts you in the heroic role of Sgt. Nathan Hale. View larger. | 
This sequel introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. View larger. | Resistance 2 takes up right where Resistance: Fall of Man left off. Hale is kidnapped by a black ops group in London and forced to Iceland for research testing. The full scope of what happens in Iceland is a mystery, but the game reveals that as Hale wrestles with the insidious Chimera war machine, he must also battle the virus raging inside his body that threatens to transform him into the very creature he fights against. The Return of the Chimera
The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise. For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans into Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes. They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth's climate to a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat requirements. Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying species that attack in hordes. The Battle Moves to the United States
After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco. Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies, demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no survivors. As the battle continues across the United States, you're sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more powerful enemies. In Chicago, you'll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the level, you'll need to work together, moving from cover to cover, setting up your squad in a smart and defensive manner. These are just a few examples of the challenging levels you'll encounter as you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if you're hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won't leave you disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter experience. Online game play Goes BIG
Powered by Insomniac Games' third-generation PlayStation 3 technology, Resistance 2 delivers several console gaming breakthroughs. Most impressive are the stand-alone, class-based, online co-operative campaign mode that can accommodate up to eight players, and the mind-blowing, 60-player, squad-based online competitive multiplayer battle fest. This unprecedented 60-player option could revolutionize online multiplayer game play and is sure to provide countless hours of action-packed fun.
  
Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online gaming experience.

 Multiplayer milestone, The bar is pushed way higher November 4, 2008

It was very obvious from day 1 Sony and Insomniac focus was on PSN/multi-player. We heard a lot about it. Now the game is out, every bit that was promised is delivered. My most favorite parts in the game are the co-op missions. It is so much fun to play with buddies split-screen, the game levels are randomly generated. The experience is never the same any time you play back the levels.
Co-op missions are class based. Dont try to run around and get killed. You need to be organized and push inch by inch. Every one has a role to play and all of them are fun. You can play with upto 8 people online. The game completely suits itself for the number of people playing at a time. I like it when there is a minimum of 4 people, with a good medic. It is so satisfying and epic.
They have also pushed the competitive bar to 60 players. It gets really crazy at the last min when every one converges to the center. It has a similar feel to UT3 warfare mode. If you are tired of the vanilla kill count based games, R2 is the decisive answer.
We are going to be talking about R2 for a long long time to come. This has set the bar for multi-player. We are going to see a lot copy cats too. The engine has been revamped a lot from R1. The game never slows down with all the explosions and 60 people running around. It is a amazing technological achievement. Even PC games couldn't do what R2 has done on a console. Competitive levels are much more methodical than run and gun. It takes a few shots before the person dies. So you can always move away and find a better flanking position.
Competitive multiplayer levels are very well balanced. It is not winner takes all. If you play well you become a bigger bulls eye in the map. So every one has a chance. It also increases the challenge for higher skill palyers. It is a win-win. Very well thought out maps. Take your time and play slowly. It is a very enjoyable game. If you are looking for a simple bunny hop and shoot multi-player; you are in for disappointment.
The game is slightly different from R1. No more weapons wheel. You can just carry two weapons at a time. You also get a Uncharted style fully recovering health. Some of old weapons are tweaked to make it more interesting to use. Art direction also has changed. Now visuals have a pop. Forest is no more the post apocalyptic gray burnt one.. it is a green lush forest. Every thing feels fresh and natural.
Resistance 2 is in direct competition with LBP for its massiveness. I don't think there is any other games that packs so much content in a single disk. I have a strong feeling Insomniac filled up the entire Blu-ray disc.
Single player mode much more narrated. The game walks you through a very cinematic presentation. The games takes control of the camera to several times to show all the glorious backgrounds and set pieces. Boss battles are huge. Some of the levels are just one single big boss battle. You are just circling around slowly taking the health of the big behemoths.
So far I have killed more than 1000 enemies in single player. The game sincerely makes you feel helpless. AI is stunningly smart. My winning formula is survey, find a safe position, move & fortify, then survey again. Run and gun doesn't seem to work. I was able to be finish R1 without thinking this much.
Audio in this game is amazing. This time it feels lot more like Hollywood. Weapons pack a punch. If you have a 7.1, close all the doors and crank up the volume. You will be in the edge of the chair through out the entire mission.
The franchise has solidified its base now. Iam very eager to see what they have under their cloak for R3. I would love to see the weapons wheel back in R3.
fast pace shooter December 2, 2008

this sequel was better than the first on many levels. The main thing that you will notice when playing this game is that it has a fast pace with enemies swarming over your position. The improved AI makes the enemies more skillful with better fighting tactics. On several occasions you have to think of a better way to deal with the enemies then simply shooting them down since they always outnumber you. The story of course delves deeper into what the Chimera are and their possible history with some intersting twists. There are few changes that the game made such as limiting you to only 2 weapons and the omission of a few weapons from the previous game but this makes it again a game where you have to think more of tactics than simply aim and shoot. The only complaint I have is that your fellow soldiers do not act consistently. For some situations they are there with you killing the enemies and then for some others they just stand around or do not even follow you into the next area until you clear it out. Overall I highly recommend this game.

I bought this game to play with my boyfriend because Resident Evil 5 was soo fun to play together. However this game was not as exciting/thrilling as RE5 but it is still a good game. The price was reasonable and I'm happy.
The Pros and Cons of Resistance 2 April 26, 2010
Zamato Elite
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For $29.99, Resistance 2 is an incredible deal. It's not perfect, in fact it's far from it, but it still manages to provide hours upon hours of great gameplay.
Pros:
1) Amazing multiplayer: this game is worth buying just for the multiplayer alone.
2) Fantastic co-op: party up with your friends or use the matchmaking system to find an online game. In this mode you use teamwork to complete custom designed missions for co-op. This is the best mode in the game, in my opinion.
3) Beautiful visuals: I like the orange color pallet used in this game. In the background, there are massive units destroying cities and other things. It's very similar to God of War III in that respect. The overall presentation and graphics are incredible, even by today's standards.
4) Great ranking system: XP towards your main rank is earned from playing competitive, singleplayer, or co-op. I like how Insominiac did this. It rewards playing all aspects of the game.
5) Great party system: Partying up with friends is a peace of cake. It's not as good as Halo, but it's one of the best I've seen on the PS3.
Cons:
1) Nothing like "Resistance: Fall of Man": fans of the original game will be VERY disappointed. The game no longer plays like a fast paced arcade shooter, it plays more like Call of Duty. New comers to the series probably won't care, but fans of the original will be very pissed off. I sure was at first.
2) Controls: Horrible, horrible, horrible. They are now like Call of Duty's controls. Luckily they are customizable, but I doubt anyone will be able to create a comfortable layout. The biggest problem is how slow the game feels. The main character seems to walk soooooo slow. Or is it just me?
3) Story: Not a very good story, but I do like the direction they took Hale in this game. He is more outspoken and dominant than in the first game.
4) Health system: The singleplayer health system is awful. It's right out of the Call of Duty playbook. As you get shot, the screen gets more red. That's right, no more yellow health packs. The new health system just doesn't work. It doesn't clearly display how much health you have left.
Overall: Great game, but it has its shortcomings. Fans of the original Resistance will be disappointed, but maybe over time will warm up to the game. Addicting multiplayer, mediocre singleplayer. Nothing more, nothing less.
