Resistance 2

Genre: First-Person Shooter
Available On: PS3 Exclusive

Graphics:

The graphics in this game are stunning in most cases. The shading and detail on the textures really bring the game to life. However, at times in the game (when you can see really far away), the game looks really terrible. For example, when you're fighting the scorpion-like creature in a tower. If you look over the edge the graphics literally look like a terrible satellite image. Overall, the graphics in this game are very good as there are not many times that have terrible long distance graphics.

Gameplay:

The gameplay in this game is really where this game shines. The controls are easy to use and the weapons handle great. They have a variety of functions and types which offer various gameplay types to reach a broad audience. The story keeps you involved and on the edge of your seat. The co-op mode is made up of a variety of non-linear missions, which can be played split-screen, or online. The online battles are massive and the variety of game modes will keep you occupied for a long time.

Audio:

The sound in this game is very well done. The various weapons in the game all have their own unique and authentic sounds. The environment noises (explosions, etc.) all fit the game and are in good timing with the video. Each different effect has it's own separate sound effect, which really brings the experience to life.

Other:

The game has a very good/in-depth ranking system where you can unlock costumes, skins, and various accessories to trick your character out with. There is also clan support and an "Allies" menu which can be used to easily access your friends list, clan, and party members (this game supports parties).

Average Rating: 9.65/10
