And Done

I’ve seen the end of Resistance 2 and my verdict of the game is that I’d give it an 8 to 8.5 because the overall value of the game (when taking the multi-player component into account) is outstanding, and you could play the title for months and months simply because of that.  Unfortunately the single player component is probably the weakest aspect of the game.  The story is told and paced in an awkward way, and it doesn’t help that this particular first person shooter is coming off the heels of Bioshock which is currently my personal high watermark for telling stories in the FPS genre.  I was also not too fond of the cheap one hit kill creatures the game occasionally scattered throughout certain levels.  Overall, it’s a solid package, but I’m a big believer in a strong single player component and Resistance 2 flagged somewhat in that regard.  The multi-player, however, is amazing.
