Resistance 2 is like the new, hot car you always wanted to own but once you’ve test driven it you realize it’s not as awesome as you’d thought it would be. Sure she’s fast and loads of fun to drive, but when it comes down to stuff like a long term commitment, she just doesn’t cut it. Ok so random analogy aside, what I’m trying to say here is that Resistance 2 is an attractive package to look at but it isn’t a very good long term companion. It’s got the production values of a AAA shooter offering players a so called "revolutionary" 8 player co-operative mode and massive online multiplayer battles. But at the end of the day the game is a generic shooter that cannot shake off the been there done that vibe no matter how hard it tries. The single player campaign picks up from where Resistance: Fall of Man (FoM) left off with Sgt. Nathan Hale walking around aimlessly somewhere in London after destroying the Chimera Tower. From there on, he gets recruited by a team of Black Ops soldiers called Sentinels who enlist him in the war against the Chimera that’s tearing America apart. The reason Hale was selected to be a part of this squad in the first place was because Hale himself got infected by the Chimera virus (during the first game) but instead of mutating into one of them he becomes a hybrid of sorts using his new found powers for the good of humanity. Now when you hear the word hybrid you’re probably picturing a badass mutated mofo capable of annihilating an entire army but sadly Nathan Hale is nothing more than a puny little bitch who can barely take any damage on the battlefield. Even on the lowest difficulty level Hale can barely withstand enemy fire. Stay out in the open for a couple of seconds and you’re mince meat in no time. Now I’m not expecting Hale to magically absorb bullets like a tank, but since the game’s obviously not grounded in reality, I don’t understand for the life of me why the damage he absorbs is so realistic. |
