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

Resistance 2 Reviews
Well the price seemed reasonable for the game. I didn't receive it though so I can't review it really, seemed fun at my friends.. I can say that after I emailed the company I received a response a couple days later informing me that I would be refunded. My interaction with gohasting was good at least
SINGLE PLAYER HAS BEEN RUINED SOMEWHAT,,STILL PLAYABLE IF YOU CAN GET PAST BOSS HIT POINT TRICKS
MULTIPLAYER IS THE TRUE FLAW HERE.. SOME GAMES YOUR GUNS TAKE DOWN ALL THAT COME IN YOUR WAY AND THAN OTHER GAMES YOUR SHOTS SEEM TO BE INVISABLE..MASSIVE CHEAT NETWORK AND CODE PROBLEMS.
I got a great deal and bought this for $30 brand new off eBay. Graphics are noticeable better than the first Resistence but no way near the quality of Killzone 2.
Not sure if it's just me but I find this easier to play than the first game. Game has trophies too...
How is this game still retailing for $57 when it is over a year old and you can get it used for $25...Before you buy read the reviews (from each rating) and decide for yourself, some people like it but a lot of people don't, including me. Fortunately I bought it used, but It is not even worth the space it takes up on my shelf. Its not very original, entertaining, challenging and it is just kinda meh, boring.
I bought this game to play with my boyfriend because Resident Evil 5 was soo fun to play together. However this game was not as exciting/thrilling as RE5 but it is still a good game. The price was reasonable and I'm happy.
