Killzone 2 (PS3)

...of their own guns. Alas, Killzone 2's despot-in-chief displays a similar lack of ambition to do things differently, and it's a theme that's echoed throughout the game. Despite all the plaudits it's been showered with by quality-starved PS3 owners, the real fart resonating through Killzone 2's fanfare is a lack of imagination. Don't get me wrong, it's the hugely impressive technical achievement you'd expect from a title four years in the making, but ...
...rinse repeat. Killzone actually employs the peek-a-boo dynamic pretty well though, yet with nothing like the success of Gears of War's third person grace. Designated cover points have less traction, and it's not always abundantly clear what you can stick to and what you can't, often resulting in undesired emergence into the open. In fact the default controls are generally pretty cumbersome, and I never found instinct usurping conscious thought to ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

...ideas, and here we have Killzone 2 ready to take a shot at the title. Set in a future where humanity has begun to colonise the galaxy, Killzone 2 kicks off by throwing you into the role of Tomas “Sev” Sevchenko – an ISA soldier about to take part in the invasion of Helghan, homeworld of the evil Helghast Empire. All good, I guess. However, in typical George Bush fashion you’ve completely underestimated your enemy’s strength and willingness to fight. ...
...superior Helghast forces. Killzone 2 is bit of an odd one to review, because I really can’t make up my mind whether I love it or hate it. On the one hand, the graphics are superb, easily on par with the best the PS3 has to offer. Environments are grim, gritty and oppressive, with ruined buildings, rubble-filled streets, overcast lightning-filled skies and dingy underground bunkers. Music is atmospheric and emotive, with grand orchestral arrangements ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

...As soon as I completed Killzone for the PS2 back in 2005 I said "bring on killzone 2" and once I finished playing this game - just an hour ago I said "bring on killzone 3". This game is so technically advanced and I have no idea how killzone 3 could be any better than this. The graphics are so strong, I mean everything looks real - from the guns to the sand and water - everything looks so life like it is unreal. The game plays at a maximum of 720p ...
...way to finsish the game - although I do think they have left the door wide open for killzone 3. The controls are set out very well and overall the game is so polished and well thought of. NOW BRING ME KILLZONE 3 PLEASE. 10/10 BUY IT NOW. ...

Killzone 2 follows on from the last killzone liberation and before that killzone. Personally I have not played these titled but when number two came out i just wanted to get my hands ...
...The game play in Killzone 2 is just amazing, you really like the chaos of war feeling that you get with this game with bullets flying ever where and explosion from every corner along with enemies attacking, flanking and shooting you it really fells a lot more real and exciting. although it is really good I must say that cover is really hard to be covered, you cant duck behind something because your head is showing, only if your against a wall where ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

Killzone 2 is the sequal to the PS2 game 'Killzone'. It is about a war in space between the ISA soldiers (the good guys) and the Helghast (the bad guys). The story mode is really epic, very engrosing and griping. It follows one soldier as you come up against a hard fighting enemy. The graphics are the best i have ever seen. The textures are all very smooth, lighting is amazing and overall the game looks great. You may even find times when you look ...
...look of your surroundings. The sound is also great. Guns sound and feel heavy, which is a good thing and the atmosphere is set with great background noise, making you feel part of the war effort. The online is where this game truly shines. Instead of joining a game, playing for 10 minutes or so then going back to the lobby to wait for the next game to start, you join one game and that game can last up to an hour. This makes it much more fast paced ...

After fighting off the Helghast from attacking planet Vecta in the previous game, the ISA now launch an attack on planet Helghan to reclaim stolen nuclear warheads, however ...
...special effects of every detail. Killzone 2 makes you feel like you are the ISA soldier yourself. You are able to interact with other characters and the scenery. The AI are smarter than ever making it that bit more challenging. When you begin the campaign you crash-land on to the planet Helghan and are thrown straight into a fire fight with the Helghast in the streets surrounded by collapsed buildings, twisted metal and sewage systems. You are able ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

...unjust in the case of Killzone 2. Killzone 2 starts off with the invasion of human forces to the planet Helghan, in the previous Killzone (which I havent played) the Helghast invaded Vekta and were pushed back by the humans. The story is quite a breeze and just lets you in on the action, and when that action begins, you will be amazed... The amount of details in Killzone 2 is amazing, the animations are fluid and textures are crisp allowing the game ...
...the ability to change secondary badges and to add them to different primary badges of other classes, allowing a wide variety of customization. Overall Killzone 2 allows the player to enjoy what it truly is, an amazing FPS that really raises the bar for the rest of the industry. ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

Killzone 2 is a highly anticipated, exclusive PS3 game from Guerilla Studios. The game first came into the spotlight at the 2005 E3 presentation, during which the game was showcased with a target render CGI film, which was hugely speculated about, and there were doubts as to whether the final product would live up to the hype. After having finally seen its release in 2009, Killzone 2 proved a smash success with game review sites across the net. The ...
...soldiers battle it out against the enemy, Helghan on their native planet, Helghast, in a retaliation to their invasion of planet Earth in the first installment. The story does nothing much in the ways of pushing out new ideas, but what it does do is execute extremely well. With well voice acted characters and around 8 - 10 hours of campaign, the game does its job of feeling beefy. The gameplay itself is very different at first, but satisfying at ...

Review of Killzone 2 (PS3)

After the Helghast invaded an ISA colony you take on the role of ISA Special Forces soldier Sev in the attacks on the Helghast home planet; Helgan. The story is quite entertaining as you play your way through the game. The game successfully builds the suspense and steadily introduces new weapons and foes. The programmers harness the power of the PS3 very well with large stages with realistic detail and do an ok job at utilising the motion sensor ...
...and is quite easy to control, I think it's a controller thing but I found it a lot easier to "look" with Goldeneye on the old N64. Where this game comes into it's own is the online mutliplayer functionality. In the forums there are many customised games taking place with a selection of game type Player Assasination/Protection, Equipment Attack/Defense, Capture & Hold and Body Count. In these games you can gain or loose points from achieving game ...
