60 players online:

Any crazy multiplayer fanatics over here? Well this is definitely the game for you. As soon as i popped in the disc in my PS3, i went straight to multiplayer and i started playing on a 30 vs 30 battlefield. Wow was i shocked. It was freaking epic. There was so many stuff going on all at once, it was just overwhelmingly mind blowing. I couldn't believe it. It was fantastic.

Single player campaign:

The campaign is probably the only drawback of this game and it's only by a small bit. The objectives get kind of repetitive and the multiplayer is going to keep calling you to go play because it can get a little boring. But the bosses are freaking awesome. They're huge as hell. Another thing about the single player campaign is that i was playing it on normal and it felt as if i was playing it on easy. So yeah, hopefully the hardest difficulty is harder.

CO-OP!:

Now to my favorite part of this game, the co- op. The 8 player online co- op is breathtaking. I love how there's a huge swarm of Chimeras that come attack us. Again, an abundant of things going all at once. What's really cool is that the co- op campaign is a different story than the single player campaign story and i actually find the co- op one better. Much better especially being on a team with real people. You can choose any type of human want. Whether it's a medic, rifleman, and the other which i forgot. You can revive someone if they're dead.

If you're a PS3 owner get this. You won't regret it especially if you're a big online fanatic. It's awesome. I love it.

Right up there with Halo and Gears!!

This game is the best exclusive FPS on the PS3 by far and one of the top 3 overall. The weapons are crazy, I love the Auger and the Wrath!! Visuals and audio are great for the most part. Some of the environments look a little bland here and there. There's also some great sniper parts of the game, like shooting from the chopper. I wish the single player mode was longer, but the multiplayer makes up for that.

This game suceeds in all expectations. Online is great, single player is great, and the graphics are also great. But the game was shorter then RFOM and their are some graphical problems but other than that its great. The boss fights also are epic. But still i expected a bit more since it was so hyped about.

Falls short of the hype

Pros Cons
Loads of content Ugly visuals
Intense action Poor storytelling
Tight controls Doesn't live up to expectations

As a hardcore RFOM fan i was really excited about this game. However now i feel dissapointed. I'll start with the single player. The campaign mode in this game is a huge downgrade from the original. The graphics, enemy AI, storytelling, and even the audio are worse this time. The Chimera used to be very intimidating and cunning but now they look so puny and they dont even sound threatening. Also, instead of challenging the player with intelligent enemies who actually try to flank you and outmanuver you like the original, this game is just hard becuase the enemies do incredible amounts of damage. You would think this is balanced out by the rehcargeable health (Halo but its not. Also, the new two weapon limit completely KILLED the feel of the game and made it a bit too much like Halo.The storytelling actually felt better with the old narration from the old game, and the campaign is like half of the original's campaign. The coop is pretty good though, its definetly the best part of the game...its intense and fun, its a fine mix of strategy and firepower. The competitive is fun, but its also a downgrade from the original. 60 player games is unnecessary because most of the game you play won't even have forty players...they really should have just kept the 40 player limit from the first game. The gameplay feels more fast paced then before, but that's not really a good thing in this case, and the RPG-like character organization doesn't help the game much. All in all, the game's main problem is its size. The huge bosses in the game and the 60 player online are completely unnecessary and don't help the game much. Better graphics, storytelling, and a longer campaign would have been much more beneficial. Nonetheless, this is still a great and fun game...its just not as great as the first and it fails to live up to most of its hype.

This game is the best Alien action game thus far for the PS3!

Pros Cons
Epic boss fights  
Intense action  
Tight controls  
Just plain fun  

Well this game seems to be compared a lot to Gears of War 2 for the Xbox360. Let me tell you that both games have their highlights and differ and gameplay and graphics. Both games are fun to play and the graphics are just as good.

I would say the only con I have for Resistance 2 is that it wasn't 1080p which would have been a little cooler, but doesn't really take away anything.

Resistance 2 has a lot of big boss battles and a ton of action, I definetly like the switch between action and suspense moments. I love this game and Gears of War 2. Both games are in my inventory. One day I play Gears with my family and friends and another day Resistance. I love the variety. I am glad they made both games. If you are lucky like me to have both systems, don't miss out on any of them.

p.s. The monsters are really cool looking, now that's how aliens are supposed to look like, unlike Halos aliens.

RFOM2 equals GOW2

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals  
Epic boss fights  
Intense action  
Addictive gameplay  
Tight controls  
Innovative concepts  
Fantastic multiplayer  

I never played RFOM, so I don't know how much it copied it, so I think of this as a new game. The graphics are amazing, a much better improvement from the video I saw of the first one. The guns are extremely innovative, like the auger that can shoot through walls, the bullseye that can target an enemy and shoot trough walls, and the small magnum can explode its bullets. The gameplay is great, and the multiplayer is really fun. Co-op is as awesome as competitive, which is usually hard to do in a game. Overall, this game goes with the categories of MGS4, LBP, Bioshock, Fallout 3, and GTA 4 as games that must be bought for your PS3 now!

Great Multiplayer, Questionable Singleplayer

Pros Cons
Epic boss fights Ugly visuals
Intense action Braindead computer AI
Addictive gameplay  
Tight controls  
Fantastic multiplayer  

This game is for those folks looking for a GREAT multiplayer experience. 30 v. 30 runs smooth, as do the rest of the MP gametypes. This game is a true light in the dark with the many bottom-feeding PS3 multiplayer games.
The singleplayer campaign however, is nothing to write home about. I think if I have to stop one more alien/monster invasion I'm going to go insane. I mean seriously, you would think that word should be out by now. We've whipped enough intergalactic butt that ETs would just stay away.
Also, unlike virtually every other shooter I've played in the post COD4 era, this one has not (yet) made me want to Report for Duty. The online CO-OP is inventive, and just try not to have fun chasing foes around with a hand-held table saw. For you fellow pyros out there, you will squeal with satisfaction as you watch your foes burn!!!
PROS: Diversity in MP weaponry, Good framerate, Bersek ability adds key MP depth
CONS: Campaign lacks innovation, Relatively small online community, no smoke grendades huh?

BOTTOMLINE: Though the campaign lacks innovation, the Multiplayer experience packs more than enough fun to warrant surrendering $60.

Yes this is it!!!!!

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Not enough content

As I played the Beta multi-player I fond something that made me look differently at HALO(SORRY). But I am not a PS3 fanboy but I am now a Resistance fan...lol. Now for the real small talk...there are no cons in this game for me...not enough content...was chosen in order for me write this review....if you want a game that kicks ass this is it...Later see you on line...peace

Resistance flop of sony II

Pros Cons
Tight controls Ugly visuals
  Doesn't live up to expectations
  Repetitive gameplay

This is my review so you can get the truth about this game.

Ok so the gameplay is the exact same as RFOM. Its like they copied and pasted the gameplay. I noticed no real earth shattering changes in the gameplay department. None warranting a $60 price tag. The controlls were the same for the most part. Nothings special but nothing terrible.

The story is also pretty much the same. Theres some aliens and they have some bad ideas for humans, BLA BLAH BLAH now you have to kill them all. You get a nice selection of guns, but what FPS doesnt have this now or even last gen. Once again nothing to blow $60 on.

The graphics are only slightly and I do mean slightly better then RFOMs. I really expected much for from teh almighty cells and teh almighty blurayz. But nope no major mind blowing graphics either. Once again not $60 worthy.

To sum it all up, Resistance 2 is an average cookie cutter FPS. It brings nothing new to the table and performs no new spectacular tricks. We have all shot aliens in FP view with guns. Its nothing new. Also huge bosses arent new either. Lots of games had huge bosses before R2. I say Hold onto your $60. Buy a pizza or buy Fallout 3. R2 isnt worth the $60.

I would say R2 deserves a 7.5/10.
