My take: Yes.
1. First off, I've heard some people complaining about the textures, and thats a big myth. The textures in Resistance 2 are better than Gears of War 2.
2. Secondly, the game has an insane lighting engine. Resistance 2 just recently added self shadowing and the reults are fantastic. Just look at the shadows in this photo:
3. The environment is VAST. There are ships flying in the air, explosions all over the place, and tons of enemies on screen at one time. Notice in this photo there are planes in the background, explosions going off by themselves, two goliaths, and one chimera. In the Co-Op there are moments where there are over a hundred enemies of all sizes coming after you.:
4. An INSANE amount of character detail. While doing ALL of what I mentioned before, the game manages to have characters as detailed as Metal Gear Solid 4's Snake. Look at this guy:
5. Finally, Animations!! The game uses Motion Captured (not an easy feat) animations for the characters. Both the running and death animations were captured at a Sony Mo-Cap facility in Santa Monica. Here is an example of a Mo-cap death:
