Resistance 2 is a great follow-up to the original, and a great all around game, but a few minor problems stop it at that

As a huge fan of the first game I got this game expecting greatness, and i was not disappointing. The single player campaign is a great experience full of the good stuff from the first. It is on a much larger scale this time around and each battle is far more hectic and exciting. You do not feel as alone as you did in the first game, because you almost never are. And while the list of supporting character falls greatly, as does the depth of relationships between any characters, the story maintains a good feel to it. The single player does have its short comings though, the weapons feel far less varied and unique as compared to the first, as does the variety of enemies. Several great boss fights through the story make for great fun but lead to disappointment at the end of the game, where the final boss feels much less grandeur and difficult. The multiplayer is great in all aspects but one: no offline co-op for the main campaign, no co-op for the main campaign at all. While the class based, separate co-op campaign is fun, this lack leaves a big hole where the previous is concerned. Yet, the competitive multiplayer delivers well, and short of some current server issues is absolutely fantastic. All in all, a great game, but falls short of perfect with a few missing elements.
