Resistance 2 is one of those games that manages to expand on its predecessor in every way. The single player is epic in scope and in story, which is practically worth the price of admission by itself. Then you throw in the extremely engaging co-op and competitive play, which expands on replayability in just about every way possible. Toss in a generous number of unlockables, trophies and community support, and you've got a phenomenal experience. This is an exclusive that PS3 owners should be proud to have in their collection.

Nice! I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect this high of a score. Cows should be happy for the holidays now.

no idea, i have never actually tried m/kb on my PS3, im told it still doesn't feel right. Maybe i'll try it. I love FPS games, i sort of enjoyed the first Resistance just hate the pad controls, just turns me off the games. I'm the same on my PC with 3rd person games, they just don't feel right with a m/kb lol. Maybe im just too hard to please.

That's good, but I think Resistance 1 was AAA over there.

GS will be a different story.

I don't give a **** what they score higher than COD 4, the only FPS that will be better is COD 6.

COD 4 FOREVER!!!

I always said it'd be AAA, but some tried to downplay it, and they'll be the first to brag. *cough* Anyways, congrats to those who were interested in this, but I just don't have the time for another alien shooter right now.

I think its safe to say, this game has a very high chance of getting at least a 9.0 here at GS, I wont be surprised if it get 9.5

the first resistance would of gotten a much lower score if the came out today, standards are much higher now. So 9.5 for Resistance 2 is much bigger than what you trying to spin off here.

there was so much room for improvement. the first one was rushed.

there is little improvement in Gears 2, but thats because, there is nothing to improve with a game like Gears.

what are you talking about now, you said the first resistance got a 9.1 from IGN, why are you bringing GS in this? lol. Your damage control is showing, its better that you let it go.

Yup.

Im definitely Buying Resistance 2 but I dont want to go overboard and take its AAA status for granted here just yet, I dont count chickens before they hatch anymore FF taught me a painful lesson.

Man read it, the AI has improved.

Enemies will work together to try to flank you, run up on you, distract, and the best thing yet they come in waves of 20 or more WOW. Meanwhile you and your group of soliders will combat them from all direction. There is not a single moment in the game where you do not drop your jaw and look at the beautiful graphics and the sheer size of everything.
