Resistance 2 puts you in the heroic role of Sgt. Nathan Hale. View larger. | 
This sequel introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. View larger. | 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. The full scope of what happens in Iceland is a mystery, but the game reveals that as Hale wrestles with the insidious Chimera war machine, he must also battle the virus raging inside his body that threatens to transform him into the very creature he fights against. The Return of the Chimera
The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise. For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans into Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes. They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth's climate to a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat requirements. Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying species that attack in hordes. The Battle Moves to the United States
After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco. Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies, demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no survivors. As the battle continues across the United States, you're sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more powerful enemies. In Chicago, you'll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the level, you'll need to work together, moving from cover to cover, setting up your squad in a smart and defensive manner. These are just a few examples of the challenging levels you'll encounter as you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if you're hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won't leave you disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter experience. Online game play Goes BIG
Powered by Insomniac Games' third-generation PlayStation 3 technology, Resistance 2 delivers several console gaming breakthroughs. Most impressive are the stand-alone, class-based, online co-operative campaign mode that can accommodate up to eight players, and the mind-blowing, 60-player, squad-based online competitive multiplayer battle fest. This unprecedented 60-player option could revolutionize online multiplayer game play and is sure to provide countless hours of action-packed fun.
  
Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online gaming experience.

Just finished playing this game. I enjoyed how you have a larger variety of new weapons to pick from & the challenge. But one of the things i miss most about the 1st Resistance game is that your character has the option/capacity of carrying a lot more then 2 weapons at a time. A other thing i enjoyed about the said game is that it was a narrative game. Which in my opinion made the 1st game a lot of fun. But i do wonder what they are going to do with the Resistance franchisee now after the events in this game.

I played this game for a few hours before I decided it wasn't worth my time. That's pretty bad considering I love video games. I found the storyline to be poorly written. I had a really hard time trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.. not because it was challenging, but because it wasn't intuitive. Some objects that I was supposed to shoot highlighted my guns curser red when I highlighted over enemy's when some didn't. It was completely random and poorly written. The characters in the story tried to tell you what to do, but they all mumbled and were hard to hear. (my speakers work great by the way)
Honestly, I don't think I would buy this game again if it was on sale for $5. Not worth you money, try any of the Call Of Duty games or any of they Battlefield games. There so much better.
Don't waste your money on this.

The first Resistance game was actually better. I'm not sure why, but this game feels like it only has three quarters of what the first game had. Don't get me wrong, it's still an awesome game, but the first Resistance was way ahead of it's time and quite possibly still could be. Overall, R2 is still worth the price.

This game is great. I played the first Resistance, and absolutely loved it. I just recently got this, and after playing through a couple levels, I can honestly say it's one of the best shooters I've ever played. Great graphics, amazing gameplay, and the story seems to be pretty good so far as well. Also arrived in great condition, I couldn't even tell it had been used before me. So overall, a must buy game for anyone who's a fan of shooters and owns a PS3.
