Killzone 2 (PS3)

If I was a videogame baddie I would, without shadow of a doubt, be king of the f***ing world. Despite the lessons of history suggesting that stuffing Evil HQ with high explosives and handy crates full of ammunition is a patently bad idea, successive evildoers have steadfastly refused to deviate from these dubious tactics. It's as if the real aim for all this evilness is fulfilling some kind of kinky fetish for having a group of barrel-necked marines kick down their office doors and lay manly waste to them with the butt 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 ...  Read the complete review

Space marines, space Nazis and a futuristic intergalactic conflict; that more or less sums up this game. Killzone 2 is a First Person Shooter set on the rotten wasteland of a planet ruled by the evil dictator and master of propoganda: Visari. With a hype to live up to, Killzone 2 has a lot of pressure to succeed and make sure the years of production are not to waste. Killzone 2 is best known for its cutting edge graphics, a visual phenomenon at its time of release in February 2009. Killzone 2 begins where the first title left off. The Vektans (space marines) are seeking revenge on the Helghast (space Nazis) for the previous invasion of Vekta with the ...  Read the complete review

Killzone 2 is a FPS (First Person Shooter) based on what happend right after the original killzone. The Hellghast have torn earth apart with their war on the human race and in this sequal is shows the Hellghast fleeing earth and returning to Helghan however in retaliation to what happend to earth the humans counter attack going over to the enemy planet to wipe the hellghast out (so the roles have changed from original it is now the humans attacking and hellghast defending) In the game you catch up with the old players from the original which is pleasing. The story mode is enjoyable it is quite long about 25+ hours, the story mode hold unimaginable twists and ...  Read the complete review

Wow. One look at this game and you'll know what all the fuss has been about. Quite simply one of, if not the best looking game ever produced for a console. The story mode on anything other than Elite mode is quite easy to complete and not as long as I had hoped it would be. The whole game can be completed in a rather disappointing 6-7 hours, although there are numerous trophies to collect which ensure a degree of replay value. There has been quite a lot of complaining about the lag in the control system. I haven't found this to be an issue at all and if anything they feel more solid than other FPS games that have come before. You don't find ...  Read the complete review

Killzone 2 has got to be one of the best FPS's ever. I wasn't sure about picking it up after the first game's failure but wow it exceeded my expectations Story: The story is a relatively good story with lots of plots and interesting approaches. The story is on the short side clocking in at around 10 hours for me on Veteren. There are lots of things to collect and destroy including intel and logo things on the side of walls. You can check your SP progress online at killzone.com which is a nice addition. When done with the SP, hop online for another intense experience. Graphics: The main selling point of this game has got to be ...  Read the complete review
