Cheap Resistance 2

For $29.99, Resistance 2 is an incredible deal. It's not perfect, in fact it's far from it, but it still manages to provide hours upon hours of great gameplay.

Pros:
1) Amazing multiplayer: this game is worth buying just for the multiplayer alone.

2) Fantastic co-op: party up with your friends or use the matchmaking system to find an online game. In this mode you use teamwork to complete custom designed missions for co-op. This is the best mode in the game, in my opinion.

3) Beautiful visuals: I like the orange color pallet used in this game. In the background, there are massive units destroying cities and other things. It's very similar to God of War III in that respect. The overall presentation and graphics are incredible, even by today's standards.

4) Great ranking system: XP towards your main rank is earned from playing competitive, singleplayer, or co-op. I like how Insominiac did this. It rewards playing all aspects of the game.

5) Great party system: Partying up with friends is a peace of cake. It's not as good as Halo, but it's one of the best I've seen on the PS3.

Cons:
1) Nothing like "Resistance: Fall of Man": fans of the original game will be VERY disappointed. The game no longer plays like a fast paced arcade shooter, it plays more like Call of Duty. New comers to the series probably won't care, but fans of the original will be very pissed off. I sure was at first.

2) Controls: Horrible, horrible, horrible. They are now like Call of Duty's controls. Luckily they are customizable, but I doubt anyone will be able to create a comfortable layout. The biggest problem is how slow the game feels. The main character seems to walk soooooo slow. Or is it just me?

3) Story: Not a very good story, but I do like the direction they took Hale in this game. He is more outspoken and dominant than in the first game.

4) Health system: The singleplayer health system is awful. It's right out of the Call of Duty playbook. As you get shot, the screen gets more red. That's right, no more yellow health packs. The new health system just doesn't work. It doesn't clearly display how much health you have left.

Overall: Great game, but it has its shortcomings. Fans of the original Resistance will be disappointed, but maybe over time will warm up to the game. Addicting multiplayer, mediocre singleplayer. Nothing more, nothing less.Get more detail about Resistance 2.
