I remember playing the first resistance, fighting hard for 10 minutes + against a seemingly endless onslaught of enemies. You would fight onwards and finally you would be the last living thing standing. You would have almost no heath, you would have only a few clips of ammo left, but you would be proud... that is, until 30 more enemies appear on the horrizon and you realise the game has no intention of giving you more supplies. You die. you get thrown back to a checkpoint you passed 20 minutes ago.

I loved the original, but I always felt it was a little too hard at times. So, when I started playing R2, it was the easy setting for me. However, despite playing on easy (normally play games on normal), R2 is still bloody hard in places. It is sooo easy to get surrounded. I think the only think I dislike about this game is the trial and error gameplay... I often seem to have to die numerous times before I realise how to approach a battle.

Thank god there are lots more checkpoints this time round.

Also, did anyone find the graphics hugely impressive at times, and then rather average at other times? As I play i realise that the game engine is actually very powerful... great shadows, great lighting, solid framerate despite hordes of enemies, depth of field... its all there, but the devs often seem to push you through boring interiors... oh well, fantastic game!

I agree with most of your post, I played it on normal, thought there were some difficult parts, but not overly difficult. I really liked the huge expansive environments and enemy types as well. The graphics were very hit and miss. Had a lot of tech issues with it as well, but overall great game, and I will be playing co-op for a long time

I was very surprised how much I died on Normal till I got up to speed on the Chimeran tactics.

It took me a bit to get the hand of it, just because I hadn't played a FPS in a long time.Overall I really like the game alot, the only issues I had a lot on in online play when like Chamleons, Grims, or Titans don't move, yet just slide along the ground, sometimes not registering hits. But besides that can't speak of any issues. Completed it on normal, and doing CO-OP playing now.

Yah you die a fair amount of times on normal/hard but overall I wouldn't call this game difficult. There really wasn't anything about the game that frustrated me to give up or quit for a while.

For me, there were some parts that seemed hard at first, like the HUGE fight in the courtyard area with all the cars. That fight just wasn't ending on the first try, so I restarted, and realized you were supposed to move with your troops to the left behind that wall, where you were given a rocket launcher and plenty of cover. :P

I agree, the game is hard as nails, that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are..

There seems to be a lot of try and die. I didn't find it too hard, but I thought it was funny that one swipe from those moronic Chameleons could kill you but you could take multiple hits from the bosses that are as big as buildings.

It's not that hard, really, you just have to hang back and not just charge in all the time.

I agree the R: FoM was difficult. The end was hard as hell and that was on easy. I played R2 on easy, but honestly I didn't think it was half as hard as R: FoM. I mean yea it's still a hard game but they cut down the difficulty from the first one. It's an awesome game.

I cannot count how many times I died in the same situation , but I never gave up.
