Resistance 2 Review

1) The site is based in the United Kingdom. A .com domain doesn't necessarily mean that the site is American.

2) Er... what on earth?

3) If you were being satirical, I apologise and bow down to your comic skills.

Another poor review from america, as soon as i see .com at the end of most review websites you automaticly know that a PS3 game will have a slagging, wouldn't supprise me if you didn't play the game. Enough of these xenophobic attacks just because the ps3 is from japan, sorry if another country creating something better than the richest company on the planet is so offensive to you. would be nice if we could have some honest reviews.

i don't won't to sound like a fanboy but come on. A 10 for gears 2 (its great but far from perfect), a 9 for banjo 3 (demo bored me to tears) a 10 for halo3 (witch also has a "dissapointing" camapign) 9 for viva pinata 2 (its hardly changed) a 9 for ninja gaiden 2 (its good but VERY flawed). But then only a 9 for LBP witch the 360 has nothing thats like it and a 9 for MGS4 witch to me is the game of 08 now and now only an 8 for resistance 2?

Don't get me wrong there not bad scores but things they complain about in those ps3 exclusives are also apparent in those 360 excluisives i named above. Gears 2 has slow matchmaking and 10 player lag while r2 doesn't lag at all with 60 player. I don't really want to say that they are bias but gets me wondering, would MGS4 have got a 10 if it was on the 360?

Karlius what are you 12? Gears of war is a third person shooter. Resistance 2 is a first person shooter. This game is above and beyond the level of gears 2. Both are good games but you can't have a war with 5 vs 5. I'm sorry xbot fanboy but you will never play a 30 vs 30 match on p2p with lag.

Epic game! (That word is what R2 and GoW2's maker have in common). That's all I need to waste here.

As i stated a long time ago this is a poor mans Gears of War. It needs a lot more development i guess Epic has been creating this type of game for years and without the large amount of shooters out there i guess this would be a stand up game. Sadly we are swarmed with them and this just sinks into the background overshadowed by COD4, HALO 3, GEARS 1 + 2 and so on! The multiplayer is good but still this isn't a saving grace. Sorry PS3 fans you'll have to wait for your first great EXCLUSIVE shooter. Or just save your £40 - £50 and put it toward a 360 with Gears 2!

wow um. really? i mean seriously. really? has this guy even played the game? or did he just read reviews and pick the bad stuff out of it? the first levels suck until chicago? what? i personally loved blowing up the goliath and taking on swarms of grim in the dark. the utah level was garbage but the rest of the levels before chicago were great. and how could you give the gameplay an 8? um 60 people all gunning for each other. o yeah thats an 8. 8 people backed up against a wall with 100 chimera coming at you. thats an 8. the only thing about this game thats an 8 is the campaign. that wasn't perfect. i didnt like some of the bosses. they were scripted. i can see how you can take off for the non coop thing but still an 8? all i have to say about the graphics is 60 people. no lag. im getting more lag on my computer typing than i do on r2. and sound? how is that even a category? either way they just put 8 just because. and i love how EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD admits that this is better than the first except this dumb ass

you're telling me that the new Banjo game is better than R2? don't make me laugh... even the team xbox site rated Banjo with a 7.

Reasonable review for a reasonable game, as I'm still to get through Fall Of Man and I do like the first resistance. But the main thing what is going to carry this game onwards for the PS3 owners is the multiplayer as of the co-op and the 60 player online.

I shall be getting it after christmas as COD5 and Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe are my top 2 games before christmas and Banjo & Kazooie :)

Hey El-Dev have u not played it? it does have a "steroid fuelled sh*t talking american" called nathan hale, but what does that matter? its still enjoyable the only thing that really disappoints me is the lack of a coop campaign, something which i still cant believe they dont have!!

If only this game had a steroid fuelled sh*t talking american then it would have been an instant classic, still it looks pretty good. First one was decent if not inspiring.

Will we ever get past reacting to the number at the end. It's all a personal opinion and as long as the reviewer justifies the score he/she gives then what is the issue?

Videogamer at it again, So Brothers In Arms HH and Dark Sector are as good as this.I have GoW2 and This and Gears is better, R2 is no 8

I liked the phrase "what is thought to be the most powerful console on the market" No matter what they write about it for 2 years now, they still think it's more powerfull. How can a console that is constantly second in comparison, is thought to be first?

Well, it may or may not be. The barriers are software based. It's like saying that a Ferrari is not as good as a Corvette when the Ferrari is driven by an old lady and the Corvette is driven by The Stig...

If we can get just one developer to get proficient enough on both platforms then we will be able to tell for sure.

The important thing is that owners of both machines are kept happy by the software they have available. It's not like there isn't room in the market for 3 consoles anyway, and unless one console has nothing to redeem itself, the only thing people have to worry about is if they've chosen the wrong console to suit them really.
