Resistance 2...I'm not impressed

[Kyros]

Resistance2 was a good FPS! Not great, not innovative not spectacular but good entertainment.
Personally I enjoyed the first one more because even though the story was not awesome the whole experience in a destroyed England with external story teller and the whole dark look was setting a much better mood. The second one seemed a bit off, esp. the weird bright coloured look. (Yes I like my FPS grey and brown, unless you are Halo its very very difficult to pull of a brighter look wthout looking weird.)
Second: story seriously the second one was terrible cliche and on some occasions pulled out of context. The first was much better at story telling mostly because they didn't tell much of a story. Everything was a bit mysterious which was much better than the explanations of the second. Sentinels, Daedalus, the weird swarm, please... (it had some cool points though Go Capelli go.
Third level design: The first one had some really cool levels where you were inside a warzone. The second tried but they didn't pull it of as well. The indestructible fish monsters and cannons were bad for immersion as well. Although the big battleships were cool.
Misc: Whoever had the idea that you are limited to two weapons should be shot. This was cool in Call of Duty4 but R1's fighting did live from its cool weapons. Limiting you was really stupid I also want my health bar back.

So all in all, R2 was cool R1 was better and both are decent FPS although not comparable to Halo or Half Life or Call of Duty or hopefully killzone2 which looks really amazing. I really don't know why it got such great review scores and the sales are more than ok for it.
