Resistance 2

Wow, I played through the game 3 times already. It really is a fun game although I prefer the first one more. However, the AI is surprisingly good for this game. your teammates actually help kill things. I love the radio guy too. That little side story was very nice to listen to and it really sounded like a 1950's program. A real shame about the leviathan battle though since it's more set piece than actual boss fight but still, it's a very nice moment.

Alright, now for the glitch. The only one I could remember was in the Chicago level. There's a bridge where there are two hellfire turrets at the end. Normally you would have to defeat all enemies on the bridge to get two armoured drones to appear which would take 5 mins each to bring down before planes would take out the turrets. On my first playthrough however, I managed to kill the enemies on the bridge but before the drones appeared, I foolishy ran straight towards the turrets and got killed. The thing is, when I spawned, the game decided I had cleared that checkpoint and so I skipped the battle with the drones. So it was kinda surprising when I played on superhuman and suddenly had to deal with enemies I never encountered before.

On the other hand, this is one of those bigger games that tries to kill me. How else can you explain the enemies being surprisingly accurate on normal mode? I mean, I can get killed without showing signs that I got hit before. I mean, it usually takes like 3 shots to even injure Hale to get the screen to turn red but there are times where I turn the corner and BAM, hybrid kills me.

On a smaller note, there have been some unintentionally funny moments in the game. Did you know that the lifts have some powerful cleaning devices on them? All dead bodies on elevators immedietly explode when you reach your destination. And the physics in the game causes moments like lamps that roll on the floor like some hamster is inside going at 100 km/h. Or there was this moment where this grim I killed landed with its hand over a table so it looked like it was standing there and it's hand kept waving. Very creepy.

Well, I'll be back tomorrow with tales from Fallout 3.
