This sequel introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. View larger.

Resistance 2 takes up right where Resistance: Fall of Man left off. Hale is kidnapped by a black ops group in London and forced to Iceland for research testing. The full scope of what happens in Iceland is a mystery, but the game reveals that as Hale wrestles with the insidious Chimera war machine, he must also battle the virus raging inside his body that threatens to transform him into the very creature he fights against.

The Return of the Chimera
The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise. For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans into Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes. They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth’s climate to a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat requirements.

Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying species that attack in hordes.

The Battle Moves to the United States
After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco. Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies, demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no survivors. As the battle continues across the United States, you’re sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more powerful enemies.

In Chicago, you’ll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the level, you’ll need to work together, moving from cover to cover, setting up your squad in a smart and defensive manner. These are just a few examples of the challenging levels you’ll encounter as you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if you’re hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won’t leave you disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter experience.

Online game play Goes BIG
Powered by Insomniac Games’ third-generation PlayStation 3 technology, Resistance 2 delivers several console gaming breakthroughs. Most impressive are the stand-alone, class-based, online co-operative campaign mode that can accommodate up to eight players, and the mind-blowing, 60-player, squad-based online competitive multiplayer battle fest. This unprecedented 60-player option could revolutionize online multiplayer game play and is sure to provide countless hours of action-packed fun.

Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online gaming experience.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars not great
I loved Resistance, I played it on all difficulty levels, got all the bonus awards. I can’t wait to start the resistance 2, but it is not as good as the first one. So, if you are fan of the first one, may just rent the 2nd one, I can’t imagine I will play it again.

1. graphic is not good as the first one. I have to turn the LCD all the way up on brightness and contrast to see, my normal setting, the other soliders looks like a glob of color, I can’t really tell.

2. the story line is not as good as the first one.

3. 2 guns? running out the bullets all the time, no fun.

4 Stars fall of man was better
I would have liked more if cooperative mode was like the resistance fall of man.

2 Stars Resistance 2 - kid stuff
Playable - but not great by a longshot.

Very simplistic controls, Energy Weapons imo are boring here and in Fallout 3, seems like a game for younger gamers, not adults, green goo, no gore and little memorable animation of weapon strikes.

Rented this game for 5 dollars for five days, played through the whole game in 3, little replay value. Boring, repetitive. And you are supposed to be fighting ‘frightening alien invaders’. Never was I surprised, or frightened even once. They look like goofy cartoon aliens a teenager would draw. Again - Deadspace would be the obvious recommendation IMO if you want to shoot at something that is a frightening alien.

There is no comparison in complexity of controls / replayability /graphics quality (1080p not 720p- which is a huge difference - actually 1080p is DOUBLE the clarity / information of 720p if you didn’t know, but you won’t see it unless you have a real 1080p monitor).

Very much overhyped, visuals were ok, not amazing like a killzone 2, DeadSpace, Fallout 3. So generally would be very disappointed if I had purchased.

5 Stars Love it !!!
Best game ever played. The actual game was ok, but online is where the fun begins. First real online game I’ve played and can’t get enough.

5 Stars better than the original
Resistance: Fall of Man was excellent but Resistance 2 is a definite improvement over the original. It’s much more colorful, the terrain is more varied, there are new and interesting enemies, and the story is better and more fleshed out. I did not have a problem with the two weapons at a time limitation because the game presents plenty of chances to change weapons. Overall, this is a fun, easy shooter that’s worth paying full price.

Resistance Retribution

The third game in Sony’s Resistance franchise, and designed exclusively for PlayStation Portable, Resistance: Retribution is a third-person perspective shooter that continues the story of humanity’s battle against the alien-like Chimera and the biological terror they threaten the world with. Set in an alternate Earth history, circa 1951, the game takes place between the events of PlayStation 3 blockbusters Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. In this game world, although WWII never happened, mass destruction on a worldwide scale remains humanity’s fate, and retribution against and eventual conquest of the Chimera are the player’s goals.

New Story, New Anti-hero
Resistance: Retribution follows the story of former British Marine, James Grayson. A veteran of the struggle against the Chimera in Britain following their conquest of the European continent, he did not escape those battles unwounded. Months prior to his entrance into the game, while leading an attack on a Chimera conversion facility–locations where humans are changed into monstrous slaves serving the Chimera–he was forced to kill his own brother in order to keep him from turning into one of these abominations. Following this Grayson goes on a vendetta to destroy every conversion center he can find, eventually even deserting his unit to fulfill his lust for revenge, a crime which he would be locked up for. Unfortunately, for all his compulsion, success and sacrifice Grayson learns that his efforts have been futile. In Western Europe the Chimera have evolved a new method of converting humans, one about which nearly nothing is known. Aware of his experience with the Chimera, the European resistance–the Maquis–enlist Grayson’s help, and he joins Cartwright and Parker in Operation Overstrike, and so the war to retake the European continent and the game begins.

Advanced Targeting and Cover System
With easy access to a weapons inventory, reloading commands, intel and player movement options, gameplay in Resistance: Retribution is easy to pick up and generally similar to many third-person shooters on the PSP platform, but two things also make it a stand out, its advanced targeting and cover system. Unlike many other games that limit players to manual firing, Resistance: Retribution gives players the option of aim assist. Accessible quickly through the options menu, this allows players the choice of automatically locking on to the closest enemy target, to target manually or toggle between the two. Similarly, unlike other games that require you to push a button to lock you to a piece of game environment to be used as cover, here that is automatic. Just walk up to to a wall or ledge and Grayson will duck behind it automatically and will stay ducked even as he creeps from side to side. And since aim assist is constantly active you are also able to time your fire and weapon switching from the safety of cover.

Key Game Features:

• A stand alone third person action shooter created exclusively for the PSP that continues the Resistance saga in Europe.
• An advanced third-person targeting system designed specifically for the PSP provides an unparalleled portable shooter experience.
• Intense eight player multiplayer gameplay with five game modes including Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Containment and Assimilation available via ad-hoc and infrastructure.
• With Resistance Connect, you can plug your PSP into your PS3 with Resistance 2 and unlock additional features and content.
• With Resistance: Retribution Plus, experience the game in a brand new way by using your DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller.
• Developed by the critically acclaimed Bend Studio using their 3rd generation PSP game engine.
• Over 10 different types of enemies, including Chimera from Resistance 2 and Resistance: Fall of Man – including the Titan, Slipskull, Hybrids and Leapers – and all new enemies like the Hag and Cloven.

Game Modes
One of the things that sets Resistance: Retribution apart from other shooters on the PSP is the variety of ways to play. Along with a compelling singleplayer campaign it also comes packed with multiplayer options that wirelessly support up to eight players in both ad hoc and infrastructure configurations. Along with familiar modes such as Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, players will also enjoy two modes called Containment and Assimilation. In addition, players who have a PS3 and a copy of Resistance 2 will also have access to two additional modes, “Infected Mode” and “Resistance Retribution Plus” via the “Resistance Connect” game feature. To access Resistance Connect, players simply load their copies of Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 2, then connect your PSP system to your PS3. Once you’re connected, Resistance: Retribution becomes “infected.”

Infected Mode
Infected Mode provides an alternate story within Resistance: Retribution. While in prison for desertion, James Grayson is recruited by Specter Lieutenant David LaSalle (from Resistance 2) and is infected with a mutated version of the Chimera virus, a different version of the virus than the virus that infects Nathan Hale. While playing in Infected Mode, Grayson wears a SRPA uniform and now has glowing Chimera eyes. Grayson now has regenerative health and can breathe underwater. The HE .44 Magnum from Resistance 2, which fires explosive rounds that can be triggered remotely becomes available as a weapon. An entirely new class of intelligence also becomes available that is hidden throughout the levels. Collecting all of the “infected” intel will unlock another Resistance 2 weapon, Plasma Grenades. In addition, thanks to your new Chimera DNA you will have access to areas of the game previously unavailable, as well as experience new AI interactions with the characters you meet through out the game play.

Resistance: Retribution Plus
Resistance: Retribution Plus allows you to play the game using your PS3’s DUALSHOCK 3 controller, while adding dual analog stick controls and rumble support. Simply activate this feature through Resistance 2, and then play the game on your PSP screen or through your televisions using the available video out function. This mode increases the challenge level and disables aim assist, allowing you to experience the game in an entirely new way.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Resistance… simply amazing.
Best way to sum up Resistance: Retribution… simply amazing. It’s my first Resistance game, but the gameplay is intense. Amazing graphics (PSP games should all be this good), great plot (really involves you), and very good controls (third person shooters, take a note!). I’ve only had the game a week, but have hardly been able to put it down. Definitely one of my favorite games now. My only issue is that there isn’t a “save” option in the middle of a level which can get on your nerves if you’re only able to play about 5mins or so. However, I’ll overlook the save bit since I love the rest of the game. Even the unlockables are pretty fun. Finding intel definitely gives the game some replay value as well as the Infected and Plus modes. Overall, this game is a must have for anyone that enjoyed Resistance, third person shooters or just wants a fun action game. I give it 5 stars… I’d give it 6 stars if that was an option!

5 Stars Best Game for the PSP so far
If you have to get just two games for the PSP get Resistance Retribution and God Of War Chains of Olympus. RR is a flawless game for the PSP, sometimes a little bit hard without “infecting” it but is worth it.

5 Stars Resistance: Retribution
Great storyline, great graphics, and thrilled this is now available on a PSP. If you like Resistance: Fall of Man…and have a PSP, don’t miss this title.

5 Stars Awesome game!!!!!
This is by far the greatest game out there for the PSP. It reminded of the joy I had the first computer game I ever played- Doom. It’s just plain fun with a great background story and lots of things to kill. I played the whole game in Normal mode and while it’s definitely hard in parts, and frustratingly difficult toward the end of the game, it can be completed which is always great. I was also pleasantly surprised with how long the game was- it just kept going and going. Truly a magnificent game.

4 Stars a great game to add to your psp library
There are alot of games out for the psp however, there aren’t alot of good games. This is one of them, along with god of war, syphon filter and ratchet and clank. The graphics, control and sound are all excellent. The only complaint is that it is a third person shooter and not a fps.

Resistance Fall Of Man

In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horric scourge — the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera. In mere decades this race has ripped apart populations across Asia and Europe and by 1951 has landed on the shores of England. You play the part of US a Army Ranger, fighting alongside a group of British resistance soldiers to free the country from the Chimera and to halt their spread across the globe.

The Chimera wars
War is everywhere and everything in Resistance. An alien race began toying with the planet just after Word War I and in mere decades, the Chimera ?a species of unknown origin propagating a virus that converts other life forms into more Chimera ?has overrun Russia and all of Europe. Humanity?s hope for survival is slim, and the tide of the battle rests on the shoulders of U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale.

The Chimera didn’t plan to take this protracted war lying down, however, and amassed their forces in Russia. Once Russia was captured, they quickly erected a wall around the former country, rebuking all efforts at communication or contact. While the world waited and wondered what other terrors might spill from the wall, England prepares for and falls to a major Chimera invasion in 1951.

The United States comes to aid their English allies, but all does not go as planned. The next three days will see some of the most intense fighting the war has known thus far, and it’s up to you to end the Chimera threat before the plague of defeat can encircle the globe.

Next-generation gameplay and style
The gameplay of Resistance is classic First Person Shooter. Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with a proprietary physics system to create unique human and alien weaponry. Many of the weapons of the game are era-appropriate, such as pistols and grenades. Other weapons, such as the Chimeran Auger, are of alien design. Due to the differences in the ways that the various weapons handle, great care must be taken when entering an area infested with Chimera with their own weaponry. In addition to the obvious array of weapons, players can use melee attacks and jump to avoid attack.

Special game actions, called “Skill Tasks,” are worth set number of points that can be spent to unlock new content in the game. A Skill Task may be something as simple as killing a number of enemies in a short period of time or as involved as locating a hidden area in the single player campaign. The mystery of the tasks, however, is that they aren’t actually revealed until you have completed the task. This makes for a great reply incentive, as you will be mowing down Chimera and be suddenly rewarded with task points, often when you least expect the reward.

Obviously, presentation is one of the areas in which Resistance shines. The frame rate is silky-smooth, and never seems to get bogged down when there is a large number of Chimera or teammates on screen. Animations are believable, the locations are detailed, and the voice acting is top-notch. Explosions are especially impressive, sending shrapnel and smoke in all directions. If you’re looking for a game to impress your friends with graphically, look no further. Resistance is the type of game that makes you feel confident about the future of the PLAYSTATION 3.

Track stats and more online
Resistance also boasts an impressive 40 player online multiplayer mode. It’s not uncommon to find large-scale battles with both intricate strategy and simple “run and gun” play styles. Created and managed jointly by Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment, MyResistance.net is the official online community destination for Resistance: Fall of Man. At MyResistance.net, players can view their multiplayer stats in near-real time, participate in forums with other fans, download unlockable content and more.

3 Stars Hype machine
Don’t really see what all the hype is about this game. I mean, sure it’s a decent first person shooter but don’t see why some people think its the greatest game ever….

5 Stars Absolutely superb!
I am a grey haired chap who is rapidly approaching his sell by date. Over the years I have played many FPS on just about every platform that there is and I have to tell you that between 1993 and 2007 only two games have caused me fight fatigue and soldier on into the night to get to the next level. One was the original 1993 Doom and the other is R:FoM.

The strange thing is that there is nothing in particular that you can single out as being particularly unique about R:FoM but taken as a whole it just works, you really do want to get to the end of this street, you know that the elevator will deliver you to a world of pain and that over this rooftop lies madness. But what the hey it’s fun…

Overall good game play and story line that just begs you to finish…Highly recommended….

5 Stars Resistance: Fall of Man
After buying this game and playing it, I believe it has deserved to be a greatest hit. I usually don’t play first person shooters that much (I know, I’m a loser! lol) but the storyline really intrigued me. I like how during the cut scenes, there is a narration that makes you involved with the storyline and instead of other FPS where you just shoot things and there is really no storyline at all. The different environments are pretty cool and diverse but there are some that are kinda repetitive. I like how you can carry every gun that you get in the game instead of Resistance 2 where you are only limited to 2 guns you can carry at a time. The graphics are great but of course since it was one of the first games that was made for the PS3 there are games that have a lot better graphics (for example Resistance 2). The only thing I could think of as a downside would be no unlockables or extra content, once you beat the game that is pretty much it. I mostly play single player campaign so I have not tried out the online multiplayer yet. Overall, I think this game and its sequel Resistance 2 is definitely a series of games to get into because it was very fun and entertaining to play.

5 Stars Great shooter for the PS3
I’m sure everyone’s covered all the great things about this game but I just wanted to mention the controls. I’m not a big fan of the Playstation controllers probably because I’m just used to playin Xbox but I thought the controls in this game were very quick and responsive. Resistance felt the most comfortable I’ve ever been on the Playstation 3, (for shooters anyway). Great game and fore [...] bucks it’s a steal.

5 Stars VEERY GOOD
I read some review of this game, saying it was dead hard to stop playing chapter after chapter once you start. I say its true.

Im a 25 y-o engineer who gets easily bored with a video game unless it’s very good. Resistance IS very good, close to excellent. I’m playing it now, just got it a few days ago. The other night i played until late in the night, and when to sleep just for the idea that i had to get up early to keep playing. The story is very good. I keep wondering if in the end, hale will become an alien and join the chimeran forces, or will just become a super human but keep his own mind. Like any good book the game keeps you wondering, unveiling bits of the story as you play it through.

100% recommended.

The PlayStation 3 is seen as the ultimate gaming console and it provides entertainment never thought possible.

Unlike other gaming options, you get to choose different types of PlayStation 3 consoles. One popular version is PlayStation 3 with an 80GB hard drive.

Masses Of Storage

As games and the graphic design becomes more life like, the larger storage provides more than enough space for the upcoming changes. If you use the free membership, you can play games online and download loads of games and stay in touch with friends.

Newer designs of the PlayStation 3 mean it’s operation that is silent compared to other consoles. Also you also get access to high definition games, easy use interface and the option to play Blu-ray movies in high quality.

Console gamers are a demanding market who want access to latest and greatest gaming now. The larger storage allow more options to do more with this great machine. This means changes, and more game options will be built on using the online gaming method, as Internet online gaming becomes standard.

The slight drawback is that game makers are in the process of catching up with the options that these faster machines with extra storage can provide. Currently, you may be restricted to playing games such as Resistance: Fall of Man and WarHawk and Heavenly Sword.

However some outstanding third-party games such as Call of Duty-4 and Assassin’s Creed are being developed.

The truth is many gamers will spend the five hundred dollars for the PlayStation 3 with an 80GB hard drive. This is because the new games are developed they will be looking to the new more powerful machines. Game consoles started off as just that: consoles, now they have developed into full blown computers with more power and speed that the Business PC.

This creates an every increasing circle that feeds of each area, which means the more games are created, the higher the speed and storage of the machines will become to run them. The PlayStation 3 with an 80GB hard drive is creating a new standard that others with struggle to catch up with as it becomes a baseline of consoles.
