A respectable 80 average that never found its audience. This is about the gunplay, from the studio behind Spider-Man. Fantasy, science fiction set the stage, the shooting does the talking. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die.

About this game

After a valiant struggle to stop the Chimera invasion in Europe, mankind must make its last stand on the shores of the United States. Resistance 2 delivers an unprecedented console gaming experience with a standalone eight-player, class-based online co-op campaign and 60-player online competitive multiplayer. An epic single-player campaign will feature a new weapons arsenal to combat giant boss encounters that increase the scale of the conflict to new heights.

Resistance 2 places players in the heroic role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as he struggles against overwhelming odds to defend mankind from the unstoppable Chimera. While wrestling with this insidious war machine, Hale must also battle the virus raging inside of his own body that threatens to transform him into the very creatures he fights against.
