Part 5/8:

While the narrative has its strengths, the gameplay introduces a mix of improvements and disheartening changes. Resistance 2 enhances certain aspects—new weaponry and faster enemy encounters create an engaging combat environment. The game alleviates some of the frustrations seen in its predecessor by reducing the "bullet sponge" nature of enemies.

However, the decision to limit players to only two weapons creates a perplexing situation. The completeness of the arsenal from Fall of Man is missed, complicating situations when ammo runs low. Furthermore, the removal of vehicle segments feels like a lost opportunity, diminishing the game’s grandeur amid an all-out war.
