Big monsters are so impressive :D!
Having not played Resistance 1, it wasn't a problem to see what the story was and carry on ... unless if you are a great fan and want to see every details ... I just didn't have a problem with that ...
Resistance 2 is not a short game, so get ready for a long interesting play; fill your fridge with some nice Coke or whatever you drink while playing :P
I just wish if there were vehicles in the Multilayer part, it would be some real fun.
The game is really well worth the price.
Looking forward to get my hands on the next Resistance game :)
