Resistance is futile!,
by Chang Oh, 2009-01-09

I got the collector's edition when amazon was running the initial sale, so paying the price for the regular and getting the collectors was definitely a great deal. The game itself is lots of fun and the multiplayer campaign is fun too. I just wish it were a little easier to start a game with only the people you want to play with, though.

Awesome game!!!,

At first I was skeptical of playing this game. I figured since MGS4 I better get some use out of my PS3. I bought this game and I couldn't put it down. This game is way better than the first one. It keeps you intrigued until the very end. The packaging is kind of lame though. It would've been cool if the thing came in a specialized tin or something. The contents were cool though so I'll give it that much. As for the weapons in the game...for the most part they are pretty much the same. There are a few minor additions but I didn't let that bother me. It was the game content that mattered. Loved it and would definitely recommend adding this game to your collection.

Resistance 2 is a great game, collectors edition is ok,
by J. Sheedy, 2009-01-07

For a fun factor I would rate the game a 5, the single player campaign is fun, and the online (Co-op, competitive) keep the game a high replay value.

The collectors edition was just ok, for 20 dollars more it seems to lack bang for the buck. If you can pick it up for around the price of the regular version go ahead, but if not I would just skip it. I was expecting some type of short book, with more character background, but that was not the case.

Resistance 2 - More of the Chimera,
by A. Rongitsch, 2009-01-06

I enjoyed the first Resistance, and this one is a "bigger, better, and badder" version. It has a ton more content, the graphics are better, and it has a lot better single player campaign. It is actually very hard, too. If you like first person shooters, and have a PS3, this is definitely a good pick.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING THIS GAME

I'm a huge fan of the first Resistance game as well as of the Halo series, but was extremely disappointed that there was NO CO-OP in the single-player campaign mode. I found this very misleading since the "CO-OP" mode is really just playing online multiplayer with up to eight players. The multiplayer is also way too hard to play with just two people and you need at least three to ensure there's a medic, soldier and special ops to keep providing ammo. The other thing I found annoying is that you can't continue the multiplayer online segment with the same players after a game, but are instead booted out into the lobby to find another game to join.

The other thing I found with the single player campaign is that even on casual I found myself quickly dying and having to learn through trial and error like a Tomb Raider game, which was quite annoying if you just want to get through the storyline, isn't that what hard is for? It's not like I'm at an arcade where they want you to keep feeding them coins... well, unless you buy the Collector's Edition.

TO THE POINT
If you like multiplayer online, then get it especially since PSN is free over Xbox LIVE. Just buy the standard edition, the collector's edition is not worth the extra $$.

But if you're looking for the same co-op single-player campaign as in the first Resistance or as in the entire Halo series, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Insomniac has decided to pull one of the easiest features, 2-player split screen, from players who just want to enjoy the single-player campaign with a friend, even if it makes no sense. After all, Halo did it and I believe that they sold quite a few copies in that franchise. - SA
