I didn't enjoy Resistance 2 as much as I did the first.
Immediately I see why after an hours playtime. It looks, and plays differently, significantly so. Looks to me like its going to be the bigger is better kinda sequel, full of epic set pieces like the opening, but it lacks the atmosphere and visual aesthetic that made the first game so enjoyable.
What I loved about the first game was how the developers decided to set the game in England, and then have you travel through some anti-hollywood locations if you like. By that I mean alien invasions (if that is indeed what the Chimera are) usually show us the destruction in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo, and focus on world famous landmarks that everybody knows. Here we had a game which took us to Grimsby and had us driving around Cheddar Gorge (Ive been there myself and it raised a smile when I saw it was in the game) rather than the Grand Canyon. Its what made the game feel more real to me, that we visited so many mundane, english villages and towns and not massive, sprawling famous cities. I loved how certain areas actually felt like, the areas in England they where supposed to be representing. York for example still to this day, has alot of the huge walls that surrouned the city still in place, and in the game, these massive stone structures, are a part of the levels. Cheddar Gorge is a tad larger than it is in reality though if memory serves haha.
