NZGamer Review: Resistance 2

Resistance 2, the follow up to PS3 launch title Resistance: Fall Of Man. And my God, for a company with such a happy-go-lucky reputation, they've sure pushed themselves with this one. Including three different and intensive modes in one game – single player campaign, 8 player online co-op and 60 player online multiplayer - Resistance 2 is gutsier, it's gorier, and it's much, much bigger.

[Arsenal4Ever]

another fantastic review for Resistance 2. Keep it up Insomniac. Day 1 buy confirmed.

[aaron23]

day 1 biatches

Reviewers said this

"So there we have it. Insomniac – one of the best small companies to work for in the USA, mind you – have pulled off one of the more ambitious games in recent years. Resistance 2 fulfils it’s predecessors potential not only with a solid single player campaign, but also introduces hours of replayability with its accessible and innovative online modes. Check out www.myresistance.net to tie it all together in a Resistance social networking site, and you can expect that Resistance 2 is going to be around for a long time. A long long time. Buy a PS3 for it? I would. "

MashAllah

[SullyDrake]

It probably should have earned an A.

[Ninja-Sama]

She means to say bigger, better and more badass. Sry GeOW :(

[actas123]

This game should score in the range 85-94, not more not less. It's a very good game but not jaw dropping. Take this from a guy who thinks GTA IV should have scored (6.9-7.5)

[FBl]

Insomniac Games>>>>Epic Games

[aaron23]

You would be playing the game for ages

It's a sign of Losing!!! ;-D
I can see him/it smashing his Keyboard up while typing on every PS3 News bit!!! ;-D
Keep going 'pp'!!! I can't see what your saying anyway!!! ;-D

[Haruhi Suzumiya]

One just knows how to tell a story and have a solid gameplay. The other just know how to make a fun game.

[Arsenal4Ever]

Insomniac's engine > Unreal Engine 3.0

[ps3 win 360 loss]

don't even mention the unreal engine in a ps3 article. no one here knows what that is.(its so old)
one disagree

[aaron23]

i agree

[San anto]

unreal engine is soo fuccking shiiit agreee.

[Blademask]

There are rules.

[pixelsword]

I'm sorry, when I see that "Nam" statement coupled with the Kitten with the eyepatch, it makes me smile.

[aaron23]

good for ps3 owners no doubt

[aaron23]

AAA title confirmed
Well IGN's review confirmed that days ago-9.5 from them

[ICUP]

ONLY AND POSSIBLE ON PS3 !!!!!!!!!!

X-B!TCHES!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Restriction time left: 11 days 9 hours 44 min

F!CK YOU MODS !!!!!!!!

[chrisnick]

dude is cursing at the mods lmfao......by the time im done typing this all ill see is ...........

ICUP-deleted by mod-

[Tmac]

Lol, it just keeps scoring higher than Gears 2!

[aiphanes]

R2 for the win.....along with LBP!!!

Go Sony Go!

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

R2 is the shiit! I loved the BETA.

[cmrbe]

keep saying the Chimera are alien. For all we know we could be the Aliens. I am so looking forward to find out the truth.

Anyway. Great scores keep coming for R2 as expected.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Head's will be spinning o.O

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Is great! I don't see why it wouldn't get good reviews.

If a game improves on everything, and has no game altering flaws, then it deserves good scores.

[Silogon]

I'm playing thru Resistance 2 as we speak and will post my review tonight... And since when did B+ not get you into college? B+ is a damn good score, guys.

Want an honest review? Check my site later on tonight or tomorrow moring.

[Ichiryoka]

So whats your impressions of it so far?

[aaron23]

a B+ doesnt fit Resistance 2 as most people are claiming that it is much better than the first one

9.5 from IGN ..does that ring any bell?

@ichir
IGn gave it 9.5/10 and please dont even talk to that guy Silogon. He doesnt even have a ps3 i believe

[The gaming GOD]

And I disagree with many things he says

BUT, none of us has the right to report his stories or keep them off the site. Why you ask? Simple, blogs get posted here EVERYDAY. So even if sometimes I dislike or disagree with his opinions, he does have a right to them. Just like you, me, or anyone else.

But yeah, he DOES have a ps3.

P.S.- Nowadays, even A students have a difficult time getting into some schools man. Times have changed since they days of B+ being ok.

[Silogon]

I'm not posting stories here anymore... Thanks. I'm tired of dealing with you all to be honest. And if you want an honest take on the game, since I have the benifit of getting my content a week early a lot of time, I'm around if you'd like to know. If not, you don't have to be force fed my opinion over someone elses.

And to say I don't have a Ps3??? ahahaha, please...

[The gaming GOD]

I disagree with you plenty of times.

But don't let people stiffle your opinion. Whether I like your stories or not, they are allowed. YOU know that. People can't sit and pick what blogs are ok and what ones aren't. Either they are ALL banned or ALL accepted. And since people post their blogs here EVERYDAY, I can "assume" they're accepted.

Post your stuff man. F*** what people think. Dude, if you live in America, the first amendment is your friend lol

[Mr Fancy Pants]

how you're going to review the online aspect if there's nobody online? or the review it's going to be entirely based on the 1p campaign?

[mercenarie]

some may treat you like garbage after your criticism towards the PS3 version of Fallout 3, you gave what i believe to be truth about a bad port and some people on here take it as you trashing the PS3.. i don't see it that way and i in fact own the ps3. i may join the mob if you don't decide what day your going to hold the competition though =]

[jollygoodchap8]

Your unbiased bashing/praising is quite welcome and refreshing.

You tell it like it is, good or bad, no matter what platform. I take your word over most of these other "peoples" around here.

Check his past comments, if something is screwed up he'll say it. Some people can't handle that I guess.

[Bathyj]

Its funny how all your trashing is usually when you have plenty bubbles and when down to one you start sweet talking everything. Still thats more of a guideline than a rule for you.

I'm glad you're getting sick of it here and are leaving cos I think you're a bi-polar freak and you wont be missed. Dont let the door hit you on the vagina on the way out.

[pixelsword]

...Just stay honest. I love an honest review. If it seems honest, it will do well; if not, or if you are trying to fish for this or that in terms of making it seem too good or too bad, then backlash will ensue.

Be straight. If it seems like you are trying to find a word to describe the game, then you're looking for the wrong words. Honesty is simple and direct; A critic should season their words with salt; as long as like salt, the essence of a good point is brought out that everyone can enjoy.

If you don't post your review, at least PM me so I can read it on your site.

Thank you.

[na2ru1]

U just proved ur a bunch of cry babies. 1UP your on ur own with the hating.

I have lots of money saved for lotsa games for end of this year..because the most amazing age of gaming is here. 2008

[Kush_Reaper]

Really can't wait to play this gem. Hopefully more reviewers give R2 the recognition it deserves.

PLAY BEYOND NOT BEHIND

[pp]

Graphics 8.5 proves why Insomniac should consider opting for Unreal Engine next time round.

[aaron23]

lets face both gears2 and resistance 2 look crap vs killozne 2
However resistance 2 has unlimited replayability something which is not offered by gears2

i pay 60$ for something which will last me atleast 2 weeks and thats r2 for u

[ultimolu]

AAA confirmed.

[RememberThe357]

And everyone was freaking out about the 1up review. Nice to once again see that this game is looking like it's going to kick ass.

[aaron23]

needs to shut up
that site is just so full of ps3 hate

[kazan]

guys i really don't understand what the hell is wrong with a B+ (8.5-8.9) ..the game for me looks 9.5. However a B+ is still very very good. in the end most reviewers are happy with the game and how epic it is :)

[4cough]

Hmmm I hoestley think that Resistance would be possible on the original XBOX because it don't look as good as DOOM3 or chronicles of riddick.

[ultimolu]

...SHUT IT.

[pp]

I'm after a next gen game and sadly Resistance 2 does not fall in that category.

[ultimolu]

9.0
9.0
9.5
97/100
85

ZIP IT WEE-WEE.

[digger18]

PP, You might as well sell your Xbox 360 then.

[badz149]

I can't wait for this and after all the reviews and after watching the 10 mins video, I'm certain that this game is gonna be AWESOME! it's not that I've ever doubt it because it's Insomniac's, but the scale of the game really is something else compared to any other shooter I've played!

"...the sheer scale and scope of the game, which is nothing short of epic." - IGN

[Raoh]

all an all

this brings us closer and closer to a fanboy-less gaming experience.. one day

with gears of war 2 and resistance 2 getting good reviews..

both systems having good rpgs

both having new social experiences

there is really only two console debates left

first party vs. third party

the console with the better hardware vs the console with the better software (servers etc not games)

________________

good holiday... or should i say expensive holiday..

sucks to have both a 360 and a ps3 right now... too many good games worth buying... the only good thing is that both games are different. the same experience can not be had on both games..

good job insomniac..

[Warbletot]

Remember people 9.2 is a fantastic score, and with Killzone 2 not so far away some room has to be made for 10's

[ActionBastard]

91 on Metacritic. Flop!

[poopsack]

picking this flop up on day one!

[anubis12]

i cant wait 11/04....should be a fantastic campaign mode

[ar]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've heard it. Now give it here!

[KARMA2009]

where else your gonna see a first point shooter game that has a 300 foot monster or monsters...

[aaron23]

It would have got 10/10 from all sites

[pixelsword]

...when you first get the game, throw a spike grenade at an enemy... not for the weak of heart.

[na2ru1]

spike grenades are kickass in Res1

[abuze]

I liked the Fuel grenade! That nade is F**in amazing. I hope its on Res 2.
