ButtonMasher: Resistance 2 Review

ButtonMasher writes: In terms of value for money R2 is going to be hard to beat this year, it features a full length single player campaign along with separate co-op missions (with their own little story) and a beefy adversarial multiplayer system. So there is plenty of content to be had for your money. But is it fun?

Sounds like they didn't enjoy it. Sounds like if there was a score to this review, it would be to the tune of flop.

Mr_Potato_6408d ago (Edited 6408d ago )

A flop is something like Too Human, which gets 6/10 after 10 years.

Please remind me which AAA exclusive were released this year on 360 except Gears of Wars 2 ? None, okay then. MGS4, LBP, Wipeout were released as AAA on PS3...

"Some people are going to get an absolute kick out of the entire experience, and while there is no doubt in my mind that it is a solid purchase, I can’t help but feel that there just weren’t enough moments where I found myself noticeably enjoying the experience. There were moments of brilliance but a lot of time in between filled with forgettable encounters. Resistance 2 is such a polished game that I almost feel a little bad that I didn’t get into as much as I thought that I would. The multiplayer is really what seals the deal, it has a clan system and with the server based network in place there is little to no lag when you want to play. So if you have your PS3 connected to the PSN then the value you will get out of this is truly awesome, if not then it might be about time to sort that out."

It sounds like a different opinion that what your fanboyism took away from it.

OFF TOPIC... I must be dreaming, a BLACK man is president of AMERICA after all its history of racism and kkk and slavery..e.t.c

I never tought i will see this day... NOW i hope racism can end FOREVER and we can all live in PEACE.... GOD BLESS THE USA :)

callahan096408d ago

What the hell is with all the criticism of Resistance 2? People say the sound sucks, the graphics are sub-par, it "isn't fun." What what WHAT?

I got this thing yesterday, and after Fallout 3 stole my life away from LittleBigPlanet (I thought LBP was going to be my sole obsession for a long time, but as soon as I put F3 in my system, I couldn't stop playing until I'd racked up like 50 hours in under a week!) ... anyway, after Fallout 3 stole my life, I wasn't even that excited to put Resistance 2 in my console yesterday, but I just had to see for myself. Well, I played it for a couple of hours and got through the first couple of staging areas in the game, and I must say, this is one hell of an intense, massive, incredibly beautiful and ridiculously fun game. And the sound is great too.

If there's one thing I've learned from my experience with Resistance 2, it's that IGN is the only review source that seems in tune with my gaming desires. Game Informer, GamePro, and all the rest definitely under-scored this game. LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3, and Resistance 2 all deserve 9.5 or greater, in my opinion.

Yet another MS fanboy site.

I guess I'll stick with IGN, one of the only websites MS couldn't buy until now. It gave Resistance 2 a 9.5 / 10, that's all I need to know.

Daz6408d ago

i never herd of the site and its a fanboy site already because you dont agree with it?
lol some people.

Mr_Potato_6408d ago (Edited 6408d ago )

@Daz : if you mean never heard of IGN, well IGN is the biggest gaming site on the net according to stats

(Edit : ok, you were talking about the other site)

(Edit : no, lol... Relax man... I said 'IF')

And no, he's not a fanboy because I disagree, he's a fanboy because he tries to find reasons not to love the game. You know, like when Gamespot said they didn't like Ratchet because there was too much variety.

Edit : I totally understand he can disagree. I just happen to think he was biased.

That's MY opinion about his review, get over it ;)

Daz6408d ago (Edited 6408d ago )

i didnt know buttonmasher was ign now :P

why you edit you comment????? whY??? because i was right?thank you :P lol lots of edits here.

Persons opinion m8 he dont like as much as you get over it.

edit. I get angey because peopel and never bloody happy because someone dont agree with them tehre wrong, biased e.t.c and some sites are dodgy.

edit. LOL editing finished and end of disagreement :P

BUt ign is the best :P

xg-ei8ht6408d ago

If they'd have given it a score, it would have been 8.5

It's like bioshock everyone goes on about, very good game, but after awhile it's the same game, doing the same things. It's the story that keeps it together. sold just over 2mill.

Resistance 2 has so much more. will sell about 5-6 mill.

I just notciced vg chartz inflating 360 total sales. 22.21mill.

Take off 3million for rrod replacements.

Daz6408d ago (Edited 6408d ago )

dont use vg charts :P use others :)

Why care how many 360 sold anyway? its it affecting you?

What you think bioshock is your opinion and not others.

pp6408d ago

Confirmed RESISTANCE 2 is a FLOP.

6408d ago
CrazyOrange6408d ago

im not trying to be fanboy but fable 2 is AAA.(90/100)

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

d2dahoopa6408d ago

since the xbox 360 and Ps3
reviews have gone downhill a whole lot..

the best review is your own review.. all an online review is tell you things about the game to let you still come to your own opinion..

you can read a bad review and still say a game is good,, so you kind of waste time reading it in the first place.. if you like something,, you should like it because you want to and not because of something what someone else has said about it.

A Change In History!!!

SaiyanFury6408d ago

History doesn't need changing as only history revisionists love to do, but certainly an influx of new government is needed in the US. I look forward to seeing whether or not Mr. Obama delivers in the long run.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit560d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist560d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981560d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2560d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist560d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981560d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno560d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt1483d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon1481d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 1481d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris1483d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy091483d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty1481d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb1482d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021482d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop1482d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv721481d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya1482d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Jin_Sakai1838d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721837d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021837d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721837d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1838d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021837d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1837d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1837d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1837d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1838d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1837d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1837d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121837d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1837d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
