Yawning Through The Fight
Resistance 2 is nothing more than a great game with great online multiplayer. The problem arises when in game, on either solo or multiplayer, you begin to realize that there's something missing. Nothing is absent that makes the actual gameplay non-functional or non-satifiying, and I'm sure that die-hard Resistance fans will find that this sequal does everything Fall of Man did, only better. No, the problem with this game is not within the gameplay, rather, in it's standing amoungst other titles within the first person shooter genere. If you take the solo campain, for instance, at face value, you will find that essentially all you are doing is gunning shit down untill you reach the end of each level. If you play multiplayer you find yourself either gunning down Chimera cooperativily with other players, or gunning each other down in deathmatch or some other varient competivive type gameplay. But there's nothing to be found in either multiplayer mode that lends itself to addictive gameplay unless just shooting oppenents is something that you find addictive. Alongside other games like Call of Duty: WAW, or even the striped down leveling system of Quantum of Solace, Resistance 2 just dosen't stack up to the competition.
So unless you are a hardcore fan of the Resistance series, save your money. There are plenty of titles out there this season that do what Resistance 2 does in a more enjoyable way.
