First review - http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/924/924372p1.html

Closing Comments

Resistance 2 is one of those games that manages to expand on its predecessor in every way. The single player is epic in scope and in story, which is practically worth the price of admission by itself. Then you throw in the extremely engaging co-op and competitive play, which expands on replayability in just about every way possible. Toss in a generous number of unlockables, trophies and community support, and you've got a phenomenal experience. This is an exclusive that PS3 owners should be proud to have in their collection.

9.0 Presentation

A continuation of the launch title franchise, Resistance 2 continues the battle against the Chimera. Lack of a narrator does hamper some of the cohesiveness of the game, however.

9.0 Graphics

Resistance 2 does have some weird technical and visual glitches, but the sheer number of enemies onscreen at once adds to the feeling of a massive battle for humanity.

9.0 Sound

Otherworldly sounds coupled with great voice acting and ambient effects heighten the action of the game.

9.5 Gameplay

Single player is a great experience with an epic scale to the campaign, but adding co-op and competitive play within the game only serves to augment the overall gameplay.

9.5 Lasting Appeal

A fast paced 10 hour single player campaign with multiple unlockables and difficulty levels are matched with extra multiplayer modes, gameplay options and community features.

9.5

Incredible OVERALL

(out of 10 / not an average)

Definitely not worth buying then :rofl:

Well done Insomniac (Y)

Just got hooked on two full 60 player team deathmatch games there.

Holy **** this game is fun :woot: It was non stop action. I didn't do that well though, position 30 something first time, then 50 odds next :laugh:

Not one bit of lag at all, smooth as silk.

:yes:

I only went into a competitive match for a few mins before leaving.

But what time I did have there was pretty cool, it felt like a true warzone with 60 people running around shooting the crap out of everything and anything.

Specially when a bunch from each side get into a fight in the middle of two buildings, it was pretty awesome, but then I ahd to go out.

I think I will have to buy this game, I enjoy the co-operative a lot with the simple mission based objectives, and enjoyed the story form the first and look forward to how they will advance it.

Plus with people moaning at the co-operative, I would like to see someone come up with a great way of doing 8 player co-operative missions without having to just add health to the monsters.

In the end you can only add so many enemies with a normal amount of health before it gets silly on screen, but a bunch of enemies with scalable health and difficulty is form what I can see the best way to do it.

Though what I would have liked which I cant see is in the game from the beta is more customization for multi-player co-operative characters.

With 60 players I can understand not everyone looking completely different, but with maximum 8 different players to have on, I had hoped that we could make them unique instead of just adding new equipment for each class.

I think you can, it's just that the beta is really limited.

Go check your Walmarts, they've started selling it!

LOL at that HS pricing, stupid ass Walmart.

[Pheee]

So does this mean us Uk'ers could get the game much earlier than 28th?

If so are there places that will ship to UK?

Gameplayer - 9/10

R2 circles the arcade FPS G-spot pleasurably, and occasionally even manages to find it.

Scope out the ying yang

Sound design is awesome

Hours and hours of gaming

Robust community features

Visually inconsistent

?29.30 and a couple of pound postage.

I'm ordering from there, they mark down pricing on packages as well so you avoid import tax.

[Pheee]

Have you ordered from there before? if so how is delivery?

No I haven't, but reported delivery is 5-10 days.

Seeing as the current rumored EU release is the 28th, that's still a good bit before.

However the EU date could end up sooner.

[Pheee]

it could be like Motorstorm, when I preordered that it was for 28th, now its moved to 7th.

Only just checked my email after getting back off holiday, yesterday. Low and behold I'd been accepted into the beta on the 23rd :/

tbh I don't even remember signing up for it. I swear I'm gonna get Alzheimer's when I'm older :(

Had a bit of a scare too, when the code wouldn't work, but a quick google told me to use the old US account. (why didn't I think of that?)

Downloading now :)

P.S. Benidorm is ****!

Yeah wtf? That's a bit early to be turning them off isn't it?

Did you guys even arrange a NW match? If we can't get it together for the beta what hope is there for the final game? :/

I deleted the beta yesterday after playing it for a while because I thought it was going to be the last day. :(
