Resistance 2 takes up right where Resistance: Fall of Man left off. Hale is kidnapped by a black ops group in London and forced to Iceland for research testing.

4.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Solid storyline, engrossing combat, decent multiplayer, developer support.
 Cons:
 Where is the 2 Player Campaign Co-op? Repetitive grinding online.
Bottom Line: Great storyline with solid gameplay. The missing Two Player Campaign Cooperative Mode is a sad loss, but the replacement online cooperative mode is a unique FPS experience.

Average Shooter
from itlog on Wednesday, March 18, 2009
3.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Making stuff go boom still appeals viscerally. 60 player online matches.
 Cons:
 Been there, seen that, five years ago.
Bottom Line: If you've played any other first person shooters within the past year, there's virtually nothing new here. Dreadfully average.
Review: I always wondered what it's like to be a videogame designer, not because I want to play videogames a...
