Resistance 2 vs Killzone 2

Two of the biggest FPS (First Person Shooter) on the Playstation 3 at the moment are Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. One of the things that make these titles good to compare are that they are both Playstation 3 exclusives. I was originally going to compare Killzone 2 with Gears of Wars 2 (an XBox360 exclusive) but since their is enough fanboy debates on the internet I thought it would be better to compare exclusives for one system.

Resistance 2 has been out a few months now and has already gained a nice following, it is the follow up to another Playstation 3 exclusive, that being Resistance: Fall of Man and it follows on from where Resistance: Fall of Man left off.

Killzone 2 is due for realease at the back end of February 2009 and is surrounded by more hype than Metal Gear Solid 4, if that is at all possible. Unlike Resistance 2 though it is not a follow up to a Playstation 3 exclusive but it is a follow up to a Playstation exclusive as the last Killzone was a Playstation 2 exclusive.

Your Views

Since this is a debate unlike other biased views on either game it is up to you the reader to tell other people why you think one of these two games is better than the other. Of course both will have features that beat the other so if you like you can offer views for both games.



The only thing I ask is that you keep it clean, any rude comments will be deleted.

What makes either game better than the other?

Resistance 2

Kevin says:

I prefer Resistance 2. Although I liked Killzone 2's campaign, the multiplayer got boring after a while. Whereas Resistance 2's multiplayer was much more fun, and the campaign felt more original.

Viradian says:

I love Resistance, but Killzone 2 was better, especially with Online Multiplayer. Resistance 2 lost focus on what made Resistance 1 great...Resistance 3 needs to get back to its roots.

i platinumed moder warfare 2 says:

resistance 2 + isomniac the best developer ever made it NEITHER TOP RATCHET AND CLANK THOUGH

Andrew Wilmot says:

resistance 2 all the way. sure killzone is good for a campaighn, but resistance 2s campain is killer.

Jesse says:

i say resistance 2 because of the story mode when your done with the game it keeps you wondering when the next game is going to come out SP mode is very good and there is rumor that Resistance 3 going to come out i think it is

Imnotdarrell says:

I hated the original resistance. But the 2nd one i found as fun. Im more of a fanboy for halo and arcade type fps games because of their speed. Resistance reminds me more of a halo type shooter with call of duty perks which added a little more depth. I got killzone 2 a little after its released and playd it for about 2 hours then sold it. Im not the patient type. The movement i found to be really slow when u die its waiting a while to respawn. Im more of a fast action player that doesnt have alot of time to spend gaming. Running from original spawn point to the action when another point isnt closer i found a waste of time specially when you jump back into action and get picked off.

Uncharted 2 platinum says:

both games were great and the campaigns were about equal but Resistance two wins because of the online.

Slim shadey says:

If you are looking for the best visually pleasing game then definately go with killzone 2 but if you want a game with a huge epic scope and insane bosse, very creative guns, great controls, interesting story, 60 player online competitive mode, a seperate co-op campaign with 8 players at once, then go with resistance 2. Overall resistance 2 wins because of the fun factor. Can't wait for resistance 3 the way resistance 2 ended also. Very cool ending. If you havnt played the first resistance, then you need to go buy it, it is very cheap now and still after nearly 4 years is one of ps3's best games. Other recommendations are uncharted 2, metal gear solid 4, and resistance fall of man. Hope this helped. By the way i am also slim shady on the killzone 2 section. Why are u still reading this?

camaro rider 1 says:

resistance 2 because it may have a really short campain but the multiplayer is awesome and there is always somebody on. Yet i havent played kilzone 2 either but killzone looks better

LEEK says:

Resistance 2 is Amazing, but Killzone 2 is really good. Buy both. My Choice though is Resistance 2.

Sebastian says:

I'll take Resistance 2 any day bcause let's face it there are more weapons, more enemys and basically theres more of everything.And from the videos I've seen on youtube, it looks to me like Resistance 2 has a better multiplayer.

klann says:

resistance because there is more firepower

jr says:

kill aliens

DimeBagHero says:

Resistance 2's single player was decent to say the least. The competitive multiplayer is solid but the co-op multiplayer is what's having me come back to the game even a year after its release. Killzone's 2 single player was a bit better than Resistance 2's and the online multiplayer (Warzone) is pretty good too. The real heavy controls ruined the experience for me. It's pretty hard to recommend a game when the controls aren't there. I recommend Resistance 2. =)

Atay says:

Resistance 2 is better hands down. I've played both and trust me Resistance will keep at the edge of your seat more thaqn Killzone 2 because you'll won't know what to expexct in R2

anthony says:

not the best online play. if they could work on it and turn into a but more halo 3 like from the x-box 360. but the campaign is very spectacular with the monsters you must fight.

jack says:

I say buy both they both look similar

Sam says:

EVery PS3 owner is going to buy the two games at some point. I say, buy Resistance 2 first, beat the story, play online, and then buy Killzone 2. Its a way better solution. BTW, i only put Resistance 2 down because i had to put something down

Andhil says:

Resistance has a decent matchmaking system. If someone leaves, they're gone, while Killzone possibly has the worst matchmaking sytem ever. I spent at least 3 hours of wasted game time in games which for which I did not even get my rewards because "oh my, Game host not available. You got screwed. Too bad" That by itself proved that Resistance is the better game, It's not all about graphics, Kz2 looks good, but the online gameplay just sucks.

Crooner29 says:

I have both games. It's true the KZ2 has better graphics, but R2 engaged me more, especially the multiplayer coop. The multiplayer coop made a huge difference. I definitely prefer R2.

Killzone 2

apewithshape says:

im looking for a great ps3 fps.. currently i am thnking about gettin killzone2... resistance looks a little too much like half life, and i am currently awaiting that trilogy's conclusion.. but i guess i will have to go with killzone2. i have cod black ops, but that disappointed me greatly. it basically sucks. so, i cant wait to get my game. Also, and last suggestions for me?

Ahmed says:

Killzone seems good .

Mitchell says:

I have Killzone 2 and I did have Resistance 1 and 2 but I found Killzone 2 better than Resistance 2 which was overrated and I prefered the first Resistance but I traded them both in and I still have Killzone 2 why would I get rid of that the gameplay, graphics and effects also the online are so much better

ThePrankster says:

I would have to go with killzone. I found that it had an awesome campaign and the best multiplayer. even though resistance had a great surroundings and wicked enemies. In my opinion if i had just 60$ i would buy killzone not resistance.

Slim shadey says:

Resistance 2 is a great game but I think it was rushed and lacking polish, which to me is suprising judging on insomniac games track record. Killzone 2 took 5 years to make and cost about 21 million dollars to make. That explains it's superior graphics overall kz2 wins.

KILLZONE 2!!!! says:

seriously, dont vote for one if you havent played the other. i have both games and i have to say killzone 2 for story and online play. resistance 2 online play isnt that fun, even for 60 people it gets dull. but killzone 2 online is much better and you understand what you gota do and how to do it. But, resistance 2 isnt all bad. i would have returned it if it wasnt for the co-op play. the co-op play is awesome which is a good reason to get both games. but over all of that, killzone 2 is way ahead of resistance 2

poison arrow says:

i havent played both but i played kill zone1 not bad but i really think from comment,vids,trailers that killzone 2 its just fantastic kill zone 1,2 rules,ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

samm565 says:

kz2 is better

idkiwi says:

This was a hard choice for me but at the end, I choose Killzone 2. Although Resistance 2 has a lot more bosses and enemies. The texture details in that game are not worked on as well as they are in Killzone 2. Playing Killzone 2 looks extremely realistic, not only because the game has realistic gravity and textures, but also because it impressively blends the high detail animation into the game with almost no lag. The demo is not Killzone 2. The reason the demo is so bad is because they took the worst part in the Killzone 2 storyline to make it. If I had a choice between killzone 2 and Resistance 2, I would buy both but I can't so that is why I would go with Killzone 2. Although debatable, Killzaone 2 is the best Future FPS for the PS3.

Stormdrill27 says:

@mitch Mag have 256 R2 has 60

Stormdrill27 says:

R2 better weapons more players and co-op KZ2 Better online no co-op better graphics ............. MAG GOW3 U2 LBP MGS Warhawk FTW!!!!!!!

onepiece1 says:

graphics=killzone 2
multiplayer=resistance 2
single player=killzone 2
killzone 2>resistance 2

Mitch says:

Killzone 2 shits over Resistance 2 which was an overrated game and not as good as the first one and its only advantage is it had 256 players which didnt make a difference Resistance 2 was more fun, better graphics and every thing else I dont consider Resistance 2 a top PS3 game thats why I traded it in

joebob says:

i owned resistance 2 killzone 2 owns it get killzone 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mitchell says:

Killzone 2 is much better I found Resistance 2 so overrated and in a way a step back from the first one in Graphics and Gameplay and feel kinda like Halo and Halo 2 lets hope the third Reistance is what Halo 3 was the best from both 1 and 2 but Killzone 2 I found much better in gameplay and graphics and also online was much challenging where Resistance made it up for more players than anything else

Marc says:

The MP in Killzone 2 as been taken more seriously by the community than Resistance 2. That make the game more worst than Killzone 2. I play for serious gaming, I won't likw to play agaisnt child again!

gio says:

killzone 2 has better graphics better online( my opinion) and just has a fun feel to it. note ,if you are a cod 4 fan u might not like the slow turning and aiming at first but you will get used to it. i own both games

the_lumberjack87 says:

resistance 2 has a busted matchmaking system and NO ONE uses their mics. IN KZ2 people actually talk AND the matchmaking is great! KZ2 FTW

anthony says:

very good campaign mode but a little short and not enough large fights between heavies and other bosses. the online play is also very good except for the ranking system. it is very easy to gain levels until you get to general then it starts to become a challenge.

bob says:

resistance2 was indeed fun with the campaign, and even though they did everything with multiplayer, i still hated the online play

In the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Sony PlayStation 3 game, Resistance 2 is an alternate-history, first-person shooter that puts you in the heroic role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as he struggles against overwhelming odds to defend humankind from an insurmountable Chimera.
