In the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Sony
PlayStation 3 game, Resistance 2 is an alternate-history,
first-person shooter that puts you in the heroic role of Sgt.
Nathan Hale as he struggles against overwhelming odds to defend
humankind from an insurable Chimera.
Resistance 2 takes up right where Resistance: Fall of Man left
off. Hale is kipped by a black ops group in London and forced
to Iceland for research testing. The full of what happens
in Iceland is a mystery, but the game reveals that as Hale
wrestles with the insidious Chimera war machine, he must also
battle the virus raging inside his body that threatens to
transform him into the very creature he fights against.The Return
of the Chimera
The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise.
For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are
of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army
expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans
into Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much
stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes.
They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold
temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth's climate to
a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat
requirements.
Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host
of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a
creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in
one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying
species that attack in hordes.
The Battle Moves to the United States
After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game
play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco.
Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies,
demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and
mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no
survivors. As the battle continues across the United States,
you're sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more
powerful enemies.
In Chicago, you'll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all
carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the
level, you'll need to work together, moving from cover to cover,
setting up your squad in a smart and defensive manner. These are
just a few examples of the challenging levels you'll encounter as
you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if
you're hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won't leave you
disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new
weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter
experience.
