Amazing graphics, incredible gameplay and surround sound makes Resistance 2 my best PS3 shooter ever.
To begin with, I must talk to you about the graphic. Guns, reflexion, nature, bloom effect, water reflexion and movement makes you stop playing just to enjoy how beautiful the graphic can be.
You will also be surprised by how good the gameplay is. You cant be lost because there is always an automatic redirection screen to where you need to go or just a simple spot with a distance indication.
The A.I. in that game is amazing because your allies are actually killing enemies and the enemy doesn't always concentrate their fire at you.
There is always the nice ending of a level with a boss. Ah hhh how nice to kill these big thing with the powerfull gun that is give to you.
Talking about the guns, the effect of light on them is extremely impressive and there is new weapon much more powerfull then a simple rocket-launcher.
What stunned me when I played that game is the realism in the blood and gore effect. Resistance 2 is much more violent then the previous game with bullet hole on the ennemy and body exploding in peaces that you can see rolling on the floor or splashes on walls and then slide to the bottom of it.
What is also nice in the game is listening to the radio. If you pass by a radio. There is no ennemy around so stop and listen to it. The apocalyptic messages that is give by the show animator from different cities is a nice addition to the game.
There is only one reason why I do not give a 10, campaign does not offer a cooperative option. You can play co-op games but they don't have any story behind it or if there is, I haven't got enough far because after you and your friend dies, there are no restart option. You go back directly to the main screen.
Also for technical problems, there are no way to adjust brightness in the game and that sucks because the game is dark most of the time and that most of the game these days offer this option. Resistance 2 only offers a 720p HDTV option but I can understand this because of the enormous size of the game. But I can assure you the 720p option doesn't shows any difference on a 1080p HDTV.
My last bad thing is the co-op on the same TV. It sucks, really sucks. There are no way to adjust the split-screen if you want it horizontally or vertically split. It's only horizontal, the graphics are reduce and It's not even in full screen so you have two big black line that cover the quarter of the screen.
I don't know if this problem only concern me, but enough of these disagreement on Resistance 2. It has a powerful campaign and an extraordinary online multiplayer that makes a game that anybody who love FPS game should buy.
