Lovely, Gritty, and Intense. Weighty FPS.

Disadvantages: Subpar Story - Difficult MP - Inconsistant Lag
I bought KZ2 last year, along with my PS3. It was one of those games that was really hyped up for its launch, of course there was some discorsion upon its release, due to heightened expectations.
Personally it is a very good game, albeit that it is a bit slow. There is significant controller lag, both in Campaign and MP.
The visual presentation and sound design, are the best thing about it really. It goes for a cold hard muted look, and the sluggishness of the weapons really add to the feeling of the game.
The story isn't the game's strong point, it has a few good moments, though generally if you've played plenty of military focused video games before, the story doesn't pack anything special.
The environments are the most stand out part of the experience however. The planet of Helghan is interesting.
The Multiplayer, is very challenging and difficult, for newcomers especially.
It's also very rewarding when you get things right, points are collected at the end of every battle and are counted up.
You unlock weapons and classes, ranks and honours.
Thanks for reading.
Summary: If you are really into fps's, it is an excellent game. Infuriating for everyone else though.
