The Resistance 2 multiplayer beta is underway, and lucky for us - it has co-op! We dive head first into the game's 8 player co-op mode and give you the skinny on the Chimera slaying. We also have 3 minutes of exclusive video footage!(Read More)

Resistance 2 is out, and with it an all new co-op campaign mode that lets you and up to 7 of your friends team up on-line to tackle the deadly Chimera threat that’s invading U.S. soil. But has Insomniac Games managed to wake a sleeping co-op giant, or merely prod a tired agreeable dwarf?(Read More)

WOW! Insomniac, you really screwed up the sequel! Well at least it’s not like a movie in that it CAN BE FIXED? If I were in your shoes I would issue a patch (even if it’s a big one) for R2 or get R3 (with proper offline Co-Op campaign of course) out as soon as possible. Just Sayin...

Its has its goods and mostly bads. the only 1 player campaign pissed me off. plus the hard enemies on the missions made it even more sucky.

RFOM was awesome! My husband and I had so much fun sitting on the couch playing it, and we were really looking forward to R2. The campaign for one player is alot of fun, but this game is horrible for 2 people who want to play together. Insomniac should be ashamed of this game.

This sucks, Insomniac guys are plain stupid.

Yup, bad, bad, bad. After RFOM, I was really looking forward to R2.
I look for co-op games where 2+ people can play through the story locally on the same console.
But with R2, co-op play really felt like an afterthought. I am sorry I bought this game!

I was heartbroken when I actually played this. My roomate and I loved playing resistance 1 as a campaign.... without this feature, resistance 2 falls well short of our expectations.

r2 is an awesome game on all fronts
