Hope you can beat the horrible SP quickly and sell it for a true sequel (KZ2).

It's amazing the total opposite nature of both games.

KZ2: Good sequel to horrible first game

R2: Horrible sequel to good first game

 

On this note, I am curious if people might be holding the original Resistance in too high of a regard, if they thrash the sequel like this.

 

I really enjoyed R2. I think it was definitely a very good game.  The MP was greatly improved the story mode was more entertaining than the first Resistance. With that being, I was somewhat disappointed with it.

I think I speak for most people when I say that the reason for some people's disappointment with the game is because they drastically changed the format of the first one.  Playing Resistance 1 and then playing Resistance 2,  does in fact feel like two different games in many regards with the same name.   This difference makes these people (Especially people who liked the original game) possibly disappointed. 

If you've never played the original game the best way I can describe it is as a WWII game in the way it felt.  Resistance 2 felt like Independence Day set in a more present time frame. 

 

I think R2 is a better game than R1, But I think it's a very different game and that is the underlying issue.
