Nathan Hale as he struggles against overwhelming odds to defend humankind from an insurmountable Chimera.p style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /style table width="250" align="right" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10" tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001EVNV5K-8-lg.jpg" border=0 align=top /td /tr tr td table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class="callout" width=250 align="right" trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-top.png"/td/tr tr td class="vgoverview" valign=top bPlayers:/bbr Offline: 1-8 br Online: 2-60 brbr bgame play Modes:/bbr Single player offline, multiplayer offline cooperative, multiplayer online cooperative. /td/tr trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bottom.png"/td/tr /table /table table align=left width=250 cellpadding=15 cellspacing=15 tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001EVNV5K-3-sm.jpg" border=0 align=topbrbrspan class="caption"Resistance 2 puts you in the heroic role of Sgt.

View larger. /span /td /tr /table 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.p bThe Return of the Chimera/bbr 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.p 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.p bThe Battle Moves to the United States/bbr 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.p 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.p bOnline game play Goes BIG/bbr 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.p br clear="all" center img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001EVNV5K-5-sm.jpg" border=0 img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001EVNV5K-6-sm.jpg" border=0 img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001EVNV5K-7-sm.jpg" border=0brbr span class="caption"Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online gaming experience./class /center br clear="all"

Simply Amazing! November 18, 2008
M. Saarloos
I don't normally write reviews but the other review for this game that I saw is completely inaccurate. This is an amazing game that takes what was good in the first Resistance and makes it twice as good. The other person that reviewed this game obviously only played the first level of the game and stopped playing. This game has amazing graphics and gameplay. The single player is lengthy and will take you a while to complete. The online is where this game really shines. This is definitely the best online game for the PS3 to date. There is no better time to buy a PS3 than right now. So if you are still reading this go and buy yourself a PS3 and this game right now!
 Disappointing November 11, 2008

This review comes from somebody who *LOVED* the first part. I played it 5 times and I was eagerly anticipating this sequel. But, alas, what a letdown. Insomniac for some reason decided to completely change the single player experience: br / br /Instead of gathering an array of cool weapons, you can now only carry two and you find them as you need them. Gone is the fun of figuring out which weapon to use in which situation. On top of that, there's people telling you over the radio where to go and which weapon to use.. WTF??? br / br /There are no more health packs that you have to pick up - just take cover for a sec and your health is restored. The whole screen now serves as an health indicator by turning red when your health is low. Hmm. br / br /The graphics are lush and 'improved' over the first part but I have to say that I liked the gritty brown-grey look of the first better as it perfectly underlined the notion of doom. As it is, the game feels to slick to me. br / br /Finally, the split-screen co-op story mode is gone. That means if you want to play with your friends, you can only do it online. br / br /I haven't tried the online multiplayer, so I can't comment on that. br / br /My advice: Rent first.
