WORTH THE WAIT. And completely blown away by the scale of this game.
You start the game off EXACTLY when number one ended, and right off the bat you get a sense of purpose, and a sense of scale, you first mission is to take down 100 foot+ tall robot called a goliath, the enemies have improved A.I. the water seems so real. It's all so EPIC!
Nathan Hale actually talks now, which makes him even more badass than before. After the first mission the game jumps ahead 2 years to where the Chimaira have completely over taken entire cities, and giant alien chips are flying overhead firing down upon the human city.
The graphics are is just icing on the cake, and if someone said the graphics suck, they clearly were not talking about Resistance 2. If Resistance 1 was a 6 out of 10 in graphics, then R2 is definitely a 10.5 and some scenes even look photorealistic.
I don't want to give away too much. But I will say, that this game WAS WORTH THE WAIT, and then some.
