Great game. Don't listen to these other reviews that are bashing the game...
As for multiplayer, I've already played both co-op and competitive for over 40 hours, and it's simply amazing. 8 player Co-op is highly addictive and requires great teamwork in order to succeed. In Competitive, you can play Deathmatch, Team deathmatch, skirmish and Core control (basically Capture the flag) You can do all of this, with up to 60 players at once, and absolutely no lag! The multiplayer portion of Resitance 2 alone is worth buying the game.
The enemies in R2 are more aggressive than in the 1st game. A lot of the time, they'll take cover and fire from a distance. Other times, they'll just charge straight at you. It's relatively easy to take them down when they do this, but you still need to be prepared for any Chimera charging straight at you.
A new enemy in Resistance 2 that will run at you each time is the Grim. The Grim is kinda like the Menials in R1, except they move fast and are looking to slice you up with their claws. In most cases, they attack in large groups, while other times they will attack in smaller, easier to handle groups.
Another new enemy is the Chameleon. The Chameleon is capable of killing you with one lunging attack. It is almost completely invisible and will strike with little warning. If you manage to spot them, they're very easy to dispatch, but you have to be quick and take them down immediately.
Overall, Resistance 2 is a solid FPS and a tremendous sequel to a great PS3 launch title. Everything about R2 is better and more improved over the 1st game. Other than a weak story, this game is absolutely amazing!
