PS3 owners are in luck – they have yet another triple A title available for the slow moving console – Resistance 2. Developed by Insomniac Games, Resistance 2 is the fourth PS3 exclusive title released for the platform, and will expand upon its predecessor, Resistance: Fall of Man, by offering gamers a bigger, more innovative and technically-advanced experience (don’t they all claim to do that?). You will be able to engross yourself in an epic single-player campaign, while multiplayer gaming allows you to duke it out with 59 other people just in case you feel that flying solo is not your cup of tea.

From the enflamed shores of San Francisco to the ravaged streets of downtown Chicago, Resistance 2 finds mankind on the brink of annihilation in an alternate reality 1953 America. With original new weapons like the devastating Splicer and redesigned favorites from Resistance: Fall of Man such as the Bullseye, players will be immediately thrown into a fast-paced, brutal single-player experience as they fight for humanity’s survival against the vicious Chimera. Undaunted by defeat in London, the Chimera have continued their quest for worldwide obliteration by now targeting the United States. Picking up immediately where Resistance: Fall of Man concluded, players once again step into the war-torn boots of US Army Lt. Nathan Hale, who not only faces near impossible odds on the battlefield but also constantly struggles with the Chimeran virus raging within him. Fortunately, Hale is joined by a group of genetically-enhanced soldiers known as the Sentinels as they fight their through highly-detailed and interactive environments approximately up to two and four times larger than Resistance: Fall of Man.

Multiplayer is where it is at, really, and this will be a cornerstone feature for Resistance 2 as it proudly takes up the boast of offering the largest PS3 online community that is able to cater up to 60 players. This will be pure carnage, just like how those enlarged multiplayer deathmatches I experienced back in my Quake 3 heydays. You will be able to pick up a standard copy of Resistance 2 or get it in a special collector’s edition set that will retail for a higher $79.95 price point.
