    A Game That Lives up to the Hype.

    The Story

    the story is nothing much or amazing its about a planet invading another planet who are the Helagsht they are like the germas of ww2 you kind of the idea what the story is about. but the game starts out you arriving on the planet and you start shooting bad guys. so thats cool. the characters are cool but not much character devlopment just people giving military options and just saying stuff like “fuck that” when in war against Helghast. your side is also Says Higs which is a racist term in the game to the Helghast which cool i think.

    Graphics

    the Graphics are just amazing in this game  prbaly one of the best and that comes from the land scape of the game where the game is mostly back and white. but you can see dust after a lot of bombing and shooting and then seeing the red eyes the graphics are just great and its hard to notice and just incredible when building crumble people getting shot or whn the Helghast are on fire. just everything looks great in this game.

    Controls

    The controls have been a big subject online people complaing about them and i don’t mind them at first it took a bit to get use to. but when i got use them i loved them now and when playing the game its good fun like i said it did get get a use it and the guns are awesome in the game. the duck and cover is good and its good to use it in this game and the enemy ai is just great  and i like it very much. the head shot are great seeing the Helghast and there bald head. its just a great game to play.

    The Online

    online is great fun its the best mode in this game it just fun and you can play for hours. but in online it doesn’t do anything new but it does combine all the good modes out of online games and put the together and its awesome. the serves are great, i haven’t been booted from a game but so thats been good and a fun as hell. just playing with good people and just killing people is fun and the maps are great so yeah online is up there with COD4.

    Overall

    One of the best FPS on the PS3 and even out there and one of the best PS3 exclusive games i have played this game is better then the first game which is a good thing Gurrella have learnt fom there mistakes and fixed it and it may be not the perfect game but its still a great quality game. it is game you must own a PS3 for and it is a lot of fun and thats the main thing.

      Killzone 2 reviewed on PlayStation 3 It is generally considered that to criticise something for what it does not do is fallacious. After all, it deserves to be judged on its own merits in isolation from what it may or may not have been, and to do so could prove a disservice to its creators. Killzone 2 is ostensibly a shooting game and what it does, it does pretty well. The control scheme is adeptly tailored to the two stick set-up, its visuals are gloriously bombastic and the action itself is m...

      Killzone 2 probably has one of the most storied histories of any game in the past decade. In its now legendary E3 2005 premiere trailer it became the poster boy for the potential power of the Playstation 3. For the next four years speculation, and hype, or whether or not it could live up to this promise ran wild. Well, the game has finally arrived and I can honestly say that Killzone 2 has set the bar far above for any shooters to follow it on the PS3.You can't start any serious discussion witho...
