Resistance 2
Resistance 2
Resistance 2 est un jeu de tir à la première personne développé par Insomniac Games et publié par Sony Computer Entertainment sur PlayStation 3. Sorti en Amérique du Nord le 4 novembre 2008, puis en Australie le 27 novembre et en Europe le lendemain, il constitue la suite directe de Resistance: Fall of Man, titre de lancement de la PS3. L'histoire place le joueur dans le rôle du sergent Nathan Hale, qui doit faire face à l'invasion des Chimères tout en luttant contre le virus qui menace de le transformer en ces mêmes créatures. Après un combat mené en Europe, l'humanité tente un dernier barrage sur les côtes des États-Unis.
Le jeu propose une campagne solo riche en combats de boss et en nouvelles armes, complétée par un mode coopératif en ligne pour huit joueurs avec des classes, ainsi qu'un multijoueur compétitif pouvant accueillir soixante participants. L'accueil critique a été globalement positif, avec une note agrégée de 79,95. La presse a salué une expérience améliorée par rapport au premier volet, tout en regrettant une mise en scène faible. Du côté des joueurs, certains ont exprimé leur souhait de voir la série revenir, tandis que d'autres ont apprécié la conclusion de l'histoire de Nathan. Le jeu tourne sous le Insomniac Engine et offre environ dix heures de jeu pour l'histoire principale, et jusqu'à quatorze heures et demie pour les complétistes.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Resistance 2 is a major improvement over the original in every way. It is an awesome experience of seeing a team of developers at the top of their game and pulling out all the stops. There’s something magnificent in the campaign’s execution, a wholesale devotion to having a lot of fun. »
« The story presentation is bleak, the cut-scenes weak. But these are my only two criticisms, because everything else rocks! Brilliant technology, suspenseful fights, a hard, but never unfair difficulty, nice weapons and stunning enemies. Shooter-heart, what more do you desire? »
« Resistance 2 is not perfect but it is one of the best games I`ve had the pleasure of playing on Playstation 3 and this generation, there`s no way around it. The score does not mean perfection, it refers to the quality of the game that lets it distinguish itself from others in the genre. The epic campaign would be itself more than enough to secure a high score but Insomniac gives us cooperative and competitive modes that raise the game to a superior level. Resistance 2 is a epic that should be alongside any Playstation 3. »
« Resistance 2 is a fantastic game. It’s one of the best shooters available on the PlayStation 3 and one of the console’s strongest exclusives. »
« A highly recommended game which manages to improve on the excellent sequel by doing things bigger and better. »
« This is a must-buy in every sense of the phrase; entertainment that truly sets the bar for the FPS genre both on the PS3 and for gaming in general. »
« The single player is epic in scope and in story, which is practically worth the price of admission by itself. Then you throw in the extremely engaging co-op and competitive play, which expands on replayability in just about every way possible. Toss in a generous number of unlockables, trophies and community support, and you've got a phenomenal experience. »
« Resistance 2 is a sweeping, grand epic of a masterpiece issued in staccato bursts of ceaselessly entertaining action, which ultimately provide the gamer with a wonderfully paced and satisfying adventure. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Please bring the Resistance Series back Sony and Insomniac, I beg you please »
« Great way to end Nathan's story. Story, combat, movement, atmosphere, and the use of the secret American military branch was awesome. Ending fight was a little tedious but it didn't go overboard with the hive swarms. »
« This game is the worthy sequel of a pretty good first game. It has better graphics, better battles, and no health bars. However, it still feels a bit repetitive here and only allows you to carry two weapons instead of all of them. I get why they did that but it's just a bummer when that's why I enjoyed the first one. Still, it's a solid sequel that is worthy of trying out. It's not essential but still a good play. »
« An den ersten teil, kann ich mich zwar nicht mehr zu gut erinnern, aber definitiv war Teil 2 besser. Das Waffenfeedback hat sich echt sehr gut angefühlt und das man so viele verschiedene Waffentypen hatte, brachte natürlich auch einiges an Abwechslung **** Story fand ich erst so ab Kap. 5 interessant, aber ansonsten hatte ich unterstrich echt mein Spaß **** ca. 15h Spielzeit hat auch vollkommen ausgereicht. Bin gespannt wie es in teil 3 weiter geht. »
« One of the most beautiful, best and most enjoyable games I have ever played in my life. I hope it comes back again. »
« A wonderful game whose series was buried by Insomniac games. I'm looking forward to the return of this franchise on PC and Xbox »
« Gameplay, violence, physics, sensitivity... Everything is superior to RESISTANCE 3 (except the graphics) I felt like playing Killzone but this game is very dark and doesn't allow you to change the brightness or **** coolest thing about this game is the number of bodies it accumulates on the ground. »
« The story is not that great,ans it is **** enemies absorb every bullet like they are made from a sponge.Graphics are better than the first **** is dumb.Sound and music not so great. »
