The Greatest Shooter Ever
PostedApril 19, 2009
Killzone 2 is quite frankly the greatest shooter game that I have ever played. I have played a good many of them including Halo, Halo 2, and more recently Halo 3 also Gears of War 2. I have to say that this blows them out of the water. There is minimal to no load time during levels, and the load time is rather short (less than a minute) in between levels. The graphics are the same wether it is during a movie clip or in the heat of action during one of the many heart stopping battles. There is little to no lag during the online and the online ranking is fun and easy to use. The controls are some of the most responsive (if not the most well thought out) that I have seen in a long time. As soon as you press a button it happens. The sound could have been recorded in the middle of an actual battle. The gunshots and sound of helgast shots wizzing past you ear are probably the most realistic that I have ever heard. With the grenades exploding, bullets zipping past you (or hitting you depending on the difficulty setting) you allies shouting at the enemy or instructions to you, you will think that you are actually there. The blood and gore in the game are the most realistic that I have seen combine Metal Gear Solid 4 realism, and Gears of War 2 gore and there you have it. The controls can take some getting use to but that is only a slight learning curve (only took me a half hour to get use to it). There are also many new innovations. Finally a game that doesn't overlook or short change the PS3 motion sensitive controller. This will be use during sniping, planting bombs, and opening hydraulic gates and doors. Although some of the fights can be a little frustrating at first with your allies cut off and yelling at you to shoot the power coils but not telling you where they are (saying its on the sides but failing to mentions that they aren't anywhere near the enemy) it will be extremely rewarding once you have figured it out. I would recommend this game to anyone who has a PS3 and anyone who doesn't should buy a PS3 and then this game. This will go down as one of my all time favorite games.

KZ2 Owns!
PostedApril 19, 2009
I just bought my PS3 with KZ2 yesterday and I got to say it, this game owns them all! The campaign mode of the game is awesome but a little short and the online play is marvelous. Theres no lag at all and I'm using a router with only 1MB of speed and it runs amazing. The graphics are crazy as hell, it looks so beautiful and the controls aren't that bad, you get used to it fast. I really recommend this game to anyone out there looking for a good FPS, this game has it all and it really is a must buy! This is my first game and I'm really enjoying it, a lot! The PS3 is the bomb and combine with Killzone 2 it transform into a nuclear bomb lol, you will not regret it and guarantee it to you. The multiplayer online is awesome, just awesome and the classes are pretty good. Killzone 2 is one of the best FPS out there, go buy it now!

GREAT GAME BUT CONTROLS SUCK!
PostedApril 16, 2009
I loved this game from the start the only thing that ticked me off right from the start was that you can only carry one assault weapon. The graphics are great and gameplay but when it comes to the controls it tends to be aggravating. To do a knife attack you have to click down on the those side things next to the left analog stick then you have to click it again to put the knife up and of course while your getting shot at. And to aim you have to click the right analog stick. I loved getting in vehicles and shooting giant halgais but thats with your rifle. The multiplayer mode is great but there are way to many details but still its fun. I like how its ps3 network so you never have any problems. The lobby is great you get some time to talk to friends about strategy and just whatever. This game is like the swiss army knife of all shooters i highly recommend it. If you are still wondering about getting it try out the demo.

BETTER THAN GEARS
PostedApril 15, 2009
Killzone 2 is one of the greatest games i have ever played. The storyline is excellent, and the gameplay itself if amazing. The controls could have been better, but you adjust to them very quickly. But one thing that i have noticed, is that Killzone 2 and Gears of War are very similar. Just by the way that some events happen. Like in the beginning of both, it shows them coming in on aircraft. And the video footage, it seems as if they were created exactly the same. And the way the grenades explode is just like Gears. But in my opinion, Killzone is a lot better. But what is really amazing is the online multiplayer. You will never get tired of playing the multiplayer. It is perhaps the best online game. Not as good as Call of Duty, but it is still very good. I love it, and if you have a playstation, you have to get this game. It is just AMAZING!
