Resistance 2's Chicago Railway Station level recreated.
London, 20th May 2009: We knew that the Chimera advanced swiftly but we didn’t know it was this bad: the news just in is that the power-hungry wretches have attacked PlayStation®Home, the free, interactive space for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) users. This new area in Home features a recreation of the Chicago Railway Station level from the current PS3 hit Resistance™2, which sees America under siege from the Chimeran hordes. Your challenge is to fend off wave after wave of Chimeran aerial forces with a single weapon. It’s not just any weapon, though: it’s a four-barrelled, quick-repeating turret gun.
You can find your way to the new Resistance Space via the PlayStation®Home World Map. It pays to be swift: there’s a poster in the space displaying a promotional code – and the first 3,000 users to redeem the code will get a free Resistance T-shirt for their customisable PlayStation®Home avatar.
The Resistance Space will be a gated area open only to users aged 18 or older. To find out more about PlayStation®Home or Resistance 2, please contact your local PR manager.
