Decent campaign, exceptional multiplayer
First off i want to talk about the Campaign Mode, what most see as the core of a game.
STORY: Resistance 2 starts where RFOM left, and by that i mean exactly where it left. Long story short, you are rescued and thrown straight back into action. Now you are in the States, the only area yet to be taken over, and are in for one hell of a fight. Over the course of the campaign, you come across various files that will help bring you up to date. In my opinion this game fails to really immerse me as the character i am playing, and the story could have been told better.....6.0
LEVELS: Another weak point to the campaign would have to be the levels, apart from 2 or 3, the majority are bland and somewhat boring. Though the majority are mediocre, the 2 or 3 that shine are truly GREAT levels ( CHICAGO, IDAHO, SAN FRANCISCO ).....7.0
GRAPHICS: Resistance 2 is a mixed bag when it comes to graphics, some areas may be dull and lackluster, but for the most part character models (mainly enemies) ,Textures and scenery are none the less impressive....8.0
GAMEPLAY: Gameplay is the obvious gem which lies within the campaign of Resistance 2. Movement seems fluid and appropriate , shooting mechanics are spot on, and the weapons arsenal is BADASS.......9.0
Campaign Overall = 7.5
Now i want to briefly explain the aspect of this game that inevitably saves it, and will be the main reason to making a purchase.
MULTIPLAYER: Resistance 2 multiplayer consists of 2 options, Competitive and Co-op, both of which are extremely fun and highly addictive.
COMPETITIVE: This is where you will play matches such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Skirmish etc. One of the reasons why this feature is so fun, is the fact that 60 people can engage in a match, which leads to all out mayhem. The maps included are perfect for the occasion, and are varied quite nicely........9.0
Co-op: With this unique twist on co-op gameplay, you can play with as many as 7 or 9 people (i forget haha). The missions are fun and the ranking system is simply perfect, there are 3 options to choose from, MEDIC / SPECIAL OPS / SOLDIER, each with there own abilities to contribute to the team........9.0
So in conclusion, the Campaign is decent and the Multiplayer is exceptional.
