Resistance 2 Review

By Tom Orry - 10/11/2008 - 12:01pm GMT

If you own a PS3 then you should pick up Resistance 2. It's a solid FPS, with moments of brilliance and some top notch multiplayer modes. It isn't the system seller it could have been though.

ProjectPat	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post 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.

HammersUK	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post 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? Report Reply

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.

Karlius	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I love the people who comment before playing a game for me 8 is being generous. The first game was rubbish. The second not a lot better. I have said before this game just ain't going anywhere. MGS4 got a 9 here as it doesn't play as well as others but is solid. Hence the 9. LBP I believe should be a 10 too its awesome but saying that there are some ultra floors in the control/movement system maybe this is why it got a 9 here did seem to irritate. To Summarise Sorry guys this game just isn't good. The reason I compare this to GOW2 as its a similar SETTING not GENRE I appologise if i confused. The atmosphere is nil compared to GEARS2. If i was to compare it on genre to HALO 3 it would fall even further short of the mark. Report Reply

ProjectPat	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Hell you don't even have the game at all. If you do I can record the match on my capture card, add me fanboy. KaiserSosate You have some excuse, I mean I would say this is a shitty game if I played it on easy and couldn't keep up with the multiplayer. Gears 2 and Resistance 2 are not in the same setting. Gears is somwhere in the future, Resistance 2 is in the past. Both have aliens except the Chimera's are infecting others and killing while the Locusts are just killing off the entire planet to make it theirs again. Resistance came out in NOV 14 2006 while Gears came out in November 9, 2006. You fail at bringing the comparison in here. If anything both games are copies of past games. To Summarize both games are good if anything if you have both consoles you should get these games. Both Multiplayer games will last you for a long time, resistance 2's multiplayer will not disappoint nor will the 8 player co-op that has no lag. Karlius you try to compare both games because your biased opinions and fanboyism gets in the way of your ignorance.Last edited on Wed 12 November 2008 by FantasyMeister Report Reply

Wido	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I shall be getting Resistance 2 but after christmas say boxing day. But the people who are moaning about the score at the end, and being a '8' is plain stupid and need to grow up. If the reviewer has reviewed the game at 8 then its got a 8 no question about it, if you want it to be a 9 or 10 then keep that thought in your head not blasting the reviewer as of not meeting your expectations. Lack of respect. Report Reply

Rolo18	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post As soon as I watched the final cut-scene of this game in the single player campaign all I could think was damn, I can't wait for Resistance 3! Multiplayer is so addictive. It's just such a damn shame that it has become so fashionable to hate on the PS3. Reply
