Introduction

Resistance 2 presents an alternate reality in which an ancient race, the Chimera, have been resurrected, and they aren't happy to discover that the planet's got a pesky human infestation. In this reality's 1953, humanity is fighting a battle against the greatest threat ever encountered, and we're losing.

The good news is that as Chimeran virus-infected supersoldier Lieutenant Nathan Hale, you've got what it takes to take on the not-so-alien threat. You'll brush off bullets, zombie scrapes and acidic bug puke, but the Chimera have numbers on their side. They never stop coming, and you'll soon realize that you're only one man—in fact, as the virus begins to turn you into a Hybrid, you'll find you're even less than that. There's no reason to go it alone, though. Let IGN Guides be your backup. We'll give you some cover fire so you can cut through the Chimeran horde and save the world—or what's left of it.
