Truly Groundbreaking Technical Achievement
The biggest achievement of this game is the sheer scope and capability of the multiplayer. Never have I witnessed or played a game online that has this many people on-screen with this little slowdown. It is simply amazing to witness 40... 50... 60 people in one game and for the frame rate to keep up with it. It is something that truly should be admired by the gaming community and be something noteworthy to the development community. Setting aside that massive technical achievement this game is downright fun. The gameplay is phenomenal, the story is epic and well-done considering the current generation's shooters, the graphics are beautiful and the environment engrossing. There are only really 2 things this game could do better. Ultimately they are preference things, but personally I like my controls tighter, the control here can feel very loose at times, and made for a lot of trial and error for me in adjusting. This was never so much as to hurt the gameplay, which is why I consider it an element of personal preference as opposed to a technical issues. The second thing is that the story honestly needs a narrator, newcomers to the series won't be bothered by this, but I had some affection for how the narrator of R:FoM tied the story together in a very nice bow, giving the player a much greater sense of what was going on... while the story compensates for this by making better use of cutscenes, it doesn't replace the narrator. Ultimately this game is incredibly fun, something that any shooter fan should desire to have in their library. There is not really anything this game does poorly, or even mediocre. From front to back, single player to multiplayer this game is everything a fan can ask for from a game.

Resistance 2
Resistance Fall Of Man was a great shooter on PS3 , now with this sequel , Insomniac games just show us the work that they can do with the series , in this game we take control of Nathan Hale , whos more infected by the chimera virus and its just about time to become one of them , so hes last mission its to stop that virus once for all , story mode is good but the game is not so long as the 1st ones but here we have better boss fights against biggest creatures and some new enemies and guns then are just amazing , the game is shorter but we have an arcade mode after beating it and also co op with short missions but with friends gets fun , Multiplayer is now for up to 60 players with modes like capture the flag or team deathmatch ,. is fun but in my personal opinion i feel then they were a lot of people in the servers wich was allright , overrall , the game is good on everything and eliminates the errors from the past game and the series just get better

AMAZING BEST RESISTANCE EVER
This game is amazing. The campaign is really good and the cooperative campaign is the best thing about it. The only thing that really disappointed about was the competitive its ok but im not a big fan of it. BUT its a must have game.

Resistance 1 was good this is a mess
Okay I liked the first resistance it had co op campaign which every FPS should have. I thought this game would carry the tradition but it fell short of being in the same category as the first. The game play is good in campaign but not great. The co op game feels like an unfinished idea its a mess. you have to keep repeating the same map over and over until you beat variations of the same missions its a lost cause. Luckily I got this game for 6 bucks cause I would have been very upset if i had even paid 10 for it. The graphics in single player or campaign mode are good but not up to the standards of say halo or other games in the genre. the co op multi player graphics look like a ps2 game they are bland and plain there is hardly any trace of shaders being used. No wonder this game is so cheap now. Insomniac needs to stick to ratchet and clank now thats a top shelf game. But resistance just fails to compare to halo or borderlands. If I wasn't interested in the story I would have sold back right away. Oh 1 other thing you can only hold 2 guns at a time and the co op mode you have to choose a class, medic, solder, spec ops or something like that. unless you have 3 people playing the missions are impossible to beat so you end up playing the same thing over and over like 100 times. unless you need to know what happen in the story I'd pass or go straight to part 3 which I haven't played yet so o should probably wait before recommending it. If your looking for a full experience avoid this game or for co op campaign look else where.

it was okay
The storyline for this game was okay and the online was irritating because it was so hard for me to kill my enemies and the weapons were so weak and there weren't that many people playing online either. Resistance 3's better than this.

Great Game
Resistance 2 in my opinion is better then The First One , I reallylike this game , here we are Nathan Hale , who is infected with the Chimera Virus , here we try to stop the Chimera Invasion , Chimeras have take a lot of territory , and the humanity is on extincion , i really like this game , the enemies are very Creepy and They have a great intelligence , the game campaing is long , it took me like 12 hours, also you have a mission mode ,who is like spec ops in CoD , but not so variable , But In My personal opinion , this game is really good , I really like it

Great Game/Short Review
This is a great game because of its single player campaign. Single Player Campaign is excellent, but split screen missions are terrible. Cooperative play is okay with at least six other people online. The main reason to get this game is for the single player story line.

Gross
This game as a whole is pretty good but they over did the gore.The levels were very fun but creepy at times. In many levels particularly the later levels your Standing in pools of gore, seeing it poor down walls. It is simply sickening after half the levels are completed. I got almost to the end when I simply couldn't stand it. I stoped playing this game and played the first one. I recommend if you can't handal tons of consistent gore or you freak out when unexpected scary creatures attack don't buy this game. But if like gory and creepy games go for it.
