About Resistance 2
Undaunted by their defeat in London, the Chimera have continued their advance now targeting the United States. Picking up immediately where Resistance: Fall of Man® concluded, players once again step into the war torn boots of Nathan Hale, who not only faces near impossible odds on the battlefield but also constantly struggles with the Chimeran virus raging within him. Fortunately, Hale is joined by a group of super soldiers known as the Sentinels as they fight their through highly-detailed and interactive environments where familiar American architecture blends with the alien. With original weapons and redesigned favorites from Resistance: Fall of Man, players fight for humanities survival against the vicious Chimera.
