• Resistance 2 (PS3).

.co.uk Review ------------- The United States is being invaded by the evil Chimera hordes, and only you can stop them. Set in an alternate universe in which World War II was cut short by an alien invasion, this exclusive PLAYSTATION 3 first-person shooter sees the battle moving in the 1950s from the recently liberated UK to a human resistance base in Iceland and finally onto America. You play as Nathan Hale, a U.S. soldier immune to the Chimera’s mutagenic virus Chimera spaceships appear over the America's coasts Resistance is set in an alternative 1953, where World War II never happened Fans originally accused the monster in the movie Cloverfield of being inspired by the Chimera Although the single-player story mode features much more variety than the original, with many new weapons and Godzilla-sized enemy bosses, the game’s real appeal has always been the multiplayer. There’s now a whole separate story mode to play co-operatively with friends, either in split screen mode or with up to seven people online. There were some complaints that the original played the first-person shooter formula a little too safe, but the unique new 60-person online versus mode should help to silence most critics for this sequel.
