Resistance 2 is everything that a stellar sequel should be, and then some. The graphics, sound, and scale of the game have received dramatic overhauls since the first Resistance, and the new additions make R2 one of the top shooters released on consoles. From the moment that the single player ...

If you enjoyed Resistance: Fall of Man's great first-person shooter experience, you will definitely benefit from this sequel that surpasses its predecessor--in several ways possible.

I'll only focus mainly on the online portion as I haven't really dug into the single player portion. Of all the games I'll played, the online portion can get really crazy. Team death matches of 30 versus 30 is such an incredible blast. Well, I suppose I should retract that. ...

I thought "Resistance 2" was a pretty good game, especially what it was doing with its XP system. Rather than keeping all aspects of the game separate, "Resistance 2" combined single-player, 8-person co-op and multiplayer XP (and, thus, your rank in the game) into a single number. This allowed people ...
