![]() ![]() ![]() The story follows on straight from the first game. This is the Insomniac who brought us Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction putting all its technical expertise to bear on a big-scale FPS. If you found the original a drab, derivative, worryingly generic affair, then you’ll find the sequel virtually unrecognisable. It is very good, and at it’s best simply great. Around the same time the first reviews started coming through, and before you knew it Resistance 2 had gone from a minor sequel to being Sony’s biggest, brightest hope. Two levels later I was telling anyone who would listen that this was the year’s big dark horse. Then Resistance 2 came through the post and – in a spare moment with only the vaguest sort of interest – I put it in my PS3 for a spin. While Resistance has its fans among the hardcore PS3 flag wavers, I wasn’t one of them, and I wasn’t really looking forward to the follow up that much. A kind of hybrid of Halo, Gears and Call of Duty, with a hint of the manic mass destruction of the developer’s much-loved Ratchet and Clank, it felt underpowered in comparison to the Xbox 360 flagship title. Pushed in to battle Gears of War at the PS3’s launch, the original Resistance: Fall of Man never had a chance. Once again, a heavy burden rests on Insomniac’s shoulders. Hands up everyone with a PS3 who is looking for a Gears of War/Halo beater. ![]()
