all games are not created equal

This game is based in a different world war two out come, instead of Nazi's you have an outbreak of some sort of species - The Chimera.  The graphics are 8 / 10.  The sound is 10 / 10.  The story line is 7 / 10.  The controls get a 5 / 10.  They need some working up.

 

Turning point, on the other hand.  The game is based around an alternate world war two out come.  The axis control Europe and are now launching an attack on America.  Graphics 4 / 10 Sounds 0 / 10 story line 3 / 10 controls 0 / 10

Turning point was extremely over hyped.  Conclusion from me, Resistance is much better.

I got Resistance 1 and 2 for Christmas, and my conscience won't let me even touch Resistance 2 before I beat the first one.  I can remember that this game, like many others, was supposed to be a "Halo Killer". 

Now I myself tend to hate Halo, if due to the fanbase more than anything.  I never thought Halo did anything incredibly revolutionary or special.  However, I'm finding myself liking Resistance even less.  Resistance does have a few cool weapons without feeling like they're all the same, including a standard assault rifle, sniper, energy gun that shoots through walls, shotgun, and a mini-gun that shoots needles.  Neat!  The enemies are also interesting to look at too.

However, I absolutely hate the AI in Resistance, and for one reason only: They all have perfect accuracy.  Seriously, in a typical FPS these days, you can pop out from cover and sit there while capping off a few baddies while their bullets go whizzing by you.  However in this game, you have to literally be dodging the entire time!  If you hold still for a second, you're gonna get hit!  The only reason you're able to win is because the enemies' energy bullets travel so rediculously slow.

I give the first Halo the win because I remember having more fun during the co-op campaign than I did with Resistance, plus I enjoyed screwing around in vehicles and doing stuff I wasn't supposed to (like squeezing a Warthog through a tunnel that it shouldn't go in)

While resistance was fun, resistance two changed the name of the game. Resistance started the series but resistance 2 added so much more. The main thing resistance two did was make the "zombies" actually scary. In resistance they were boringly place with enough ammo, but resistance 2 some areas had only just enough ammo, and sometimes you had to beat them down. I thought resistance 2 had more boss like units that felt like a boss fight, while it did have scripted super boss fights there were enough monsters that needed to be taken down by strategy, like the titans, and not with destroying a bridge or something. The multiplayer on resistance 2 is also better. With the addition of large coop the missions feel like their own little campaign, my only complaint is that there would be more missions.
