Amazon.co.uk Review
The United States is being invaded by the evil Chimera hordes, and only you can stop them. Set in an alternate universe in which World War II was cut short by an alien invasion, this exclusive PLAYSTATION 3 first-person shooter sees the battle moving in the 1950s from the recently liberated UK to a human resistance base in Iceland and finally onto America.
 You play as Nathan Hale, a U.S. soldier immune to the Chimera’s mutagenic virus |  Chimera spaceships appear over the America's coasts |  Resistance is set in an alternative 1953, where World War II never happened |  Fans originally accused the monster in the movie Cloverfield of being inspired by the Chimera | Although the single-player story mode features much more variety than the original, with many new weapons and Godzilla-sized enemy bosses, the game’s real appeal has always been the multiplayer. There’s now a whole separate story mode to play co-operatively with friends, either in split screen mode or with up to seven people online. There were some complaints that the original played the first-person shooter formula a little too safe, but the unique new 60-person online versus mode should help to silence most critics for this sequel. Key Features - Co-operative carnage: Join the battle with friends in an 8-player online co-operative story campaign.
- It takes two: Weapons can be used in pairs, including the new “Marksman” semi-automatic rifle, a .44 Magnum revolver, and a chaingun that can double as a sentry gun.
- Know your enemy:Fight more than a dozen new enemies in the Chimera horde, including the invisible Chameleon and underwater Fury creatures.
- Massively multiplayer: Up to 60 people can play online in giant-sized battles in which gamers will be organized into smaller sqauds to focus on specific tasks to win the overall battle.
- Team rewards: Do well in the multiplayer and earn battle points to boost your soldier’s strength, gain score multipliers, and acquire personal shields and other special bonus items.

A True Halo Beater... November 22, 2008
(I brought this game from the US before English release)
Coming from a person who has played Halo 2/3 many a time at mates houses and who really doesn't believe it deserves the praise it gets "A True Halo Beater" could seem a little bias. The reason why I bring this up then is because the first game R:FOM was dubbed as PS3's answer to Halo. But even though I don't think Halo is all that I really didn't think R:FOM was close to Halo. However it was clear that R:FOM had potential, and with the second one the makers really have created something that is better bolder and bigger. (And I really do mean BIGGER!)
The first two levels are breath taking. When you first come out to see the chimera ships covering San Francisco you'll be amazed at the level of detail and the real illusion of being in a war/invasion, and that really is what this game does; creates the illusion of you being a soldier in a war, and that there are loads of other separate fights happening all around you. The graphics are superb, and that was such an important element for this game, especially fighting the huge bosses which is a brilliant feature. The single player campaign so far has been an experience which rivals Call of Duty 4 and I'd never thought I'd be saying that.
I haven't played a lot of multiplayer but it seemed very enjoyable. When they said 60 players with no lag I was thinking that's unlikely. But the first game I joined I had 80% or less wireless signal strength, it was 55 players, most if not all of the players aren't from the UK and there was absolutely NO lag.
If you have a HDTV with surround sound then you have to buy this game, its that simple.
To sum is up with one word resistance 2 is IMMENSE.

I have the US version of Resistance 2, and after playing it i must say that this is the best game of 2008, at least in my opinion.

very hard November 10, 2008

I went to the What Stuff exhibition in Excel london.
The Playstation stall had Resistance 2.
I have completed resistance fall of man ( first game)3 times.
I must say graphics on the second game are on par with COD4, except the grass was clumpy, not windswept and wispy like COD4. slighlty lower than cod4.And the sun reflection in the game is very real, better sun reflection than cod4.
The 3 levels they had in the show ( beta version) were really hard.
And the game play is still wonderful. the chimera are even uglier, if thats possible. level design linear. You can crouch and crawl in this game.
why did they make the game so hard.?
or is it for the show.
 A PS3 fps that's good! November 10, 2008

Fps nothing more, nothing less - better then the average 1st game. Better graphics - probably on par with Call Of Duty 4. The game is still liner and the vehicle section are just plain average. The game bosses are great and absolutely huge. Probably a great game on PS3, but if experienced other fps on PC/360 this is just a good shooter. Great fun with high production and worthy title.
