I was a little disappointed with Resistance 2. After I enjoyed R:FOM so much I was really hoping for another great game but just felt the story (which was interesting and well paced in the first) was a little slow, although i did love the ending. It was still a good game but wasn't quite as fun as the first for me. I think the biggest factor was dropping the ability to carry all the weapons and limiting it to only two. The fun and unique weapons in R:FOM was what made it a better game than Gears 1 IMO. I enjoyed Gears 2 much more than Gears 1, although I thought the story was still relatively poor. I have to give credit to Gears in the graphics department as although Resistance is ok there isn't really much of a comparison.
The online coop on R2 really saves the game and was great fun but with not owning an 360 I haven't played Gears online so can't really compare.
So for me
R:FOM > Gears 1 but R2 = Gears 2
