What a fantastic game. I have been having a blast on single player. This game really looks and sounds great. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet but everything I've heard sounds good. Anyone else get this yet?

    I haven't played the first one but all the reviews say this one blows the other one out of the water. From what I've seen it really does.

    The multiplayer is excellent -- very streamlined! The objective based team games are a blast, and the upgrades you get as you level up are cool, but not as devastating as in COD4 (like... P90 = win once you hit level 40). -- if anyone wants to play or start a clan or something my PSN is Lanion and I have a headset!

    I have not tried the 8 player co-op but that looks very fun.

    The game's story is good, but you don't need to have played the previous one to enjoy this one.

    The story is really simple... one man gets infected with the Chimera virus but fuses with it, or something like that, so there is not a ton of detail. However, the presentation of the story in Resistance 1 was what made it good. Great atmosphere, lots of stuff you learn about the Chimera, etc... but nothing in the way of character development or complex plot like in Halo that will leave you confused.

    Just finished this afternoon. Overall, a good game but not great. Having not played the first one, I was a little lost with the back story, but as mentioned before, it wasn't really a big deal. Good video, but audio was a little off. In the past, I've cranked Halo 3 and COD4 and have enjoyed to audio that goes along with a good gun fight. This title didn't have the punch that is usually brought out with a good system. Not sure what it was, it was just didn't sounds as good.

    Overall I would rate the game a solid 7.5/10
    Graphics would be 8/10
    Audio would be 6.5/10

    An enjoyable time for anyone that will be playing this the morning of the 25th. Enjoy!

    Been renting this for the past few days. Decent shooter. I think the whole WWII meets aliens concept is stupid, especially when they throw away everything from that era except for some human cars. Anyways, it fun. Cool weapons, and I really like the outdoor levels. Very pretty graphics. Will try multiplayer later.
