Resistance was a good to great game when it came out for the PS3. So I was looking forward to Resistance 2.

Resistance 1 for the PS3 was a very good game. Great story, great gameplay, and fun multiplayer. So imagine my surprise when I pop in Resistance 2 and within an hour I'm ready to toss it. The story in Resistance 2, which had me excited moving to the US, is nothing short of dismal. Graphically it looks nearly the same to the first game, yes I put Resistance 1 in for a bit to compare, so no real improvement. The multiplayer seems to be a step down, and with Gears 2 and COD WAW, why should I even play this game online? Back to the campaign, it's extremely linear, and your usually following along behind a squad mate at break neck speed, giving you no chance to check out anything in the various areas. All in all this has to be the most disappointing game I've played this year. I put it down in the "game shelf" and will come back to try to finish it up when I bore of all the other great games out there. With so many great games right now I would not recommend Resistance 2 at full price if you don't already have it.
