This warzone is definitely fit for the title of Killzone
Though my time with the game may be short, it was enjoyed to the peak that the Playstation 3 really needed. With great graphics and gameplay, this game shows that it has what it takes to compete with those of the Xbox 360. The controls feel really picky in single player, but with the removal of the cover system in the online play, it feels like an FPS should.
The singleplayer is not bad in any sense. It provides its own sense of enjoyment with little to no boring segments. It sucks you in, but I personally felt hatred for the squadmates that I was forced to work with. They insisted on quoting the same annoying quote such as: "Boom! Headshot!" every time I scored a headshot on a Hig. It's only when they repeat it dozens of times in succession that you wish you were a Helghast soldier yourself.
The multiplayer is really where Killzone 2 gets it's place in the sun. It feels like a real war. There are explosions going off all around you, wounded and dead lay on the ground. Some are still moving. You see the slight glow from the enemy that is ready to drop you without a moments thought. This is the way the FPS genre was meant to be when played against human opponents.
With a somewhat unique badge system, Guerilla Games shows how to follow and be original at the same time. In order for players to expand their arsenal of equipment and weapons, they must co-operate with their fellow squadmates and conquer the enemy scum in the gametype that is randomly generated every few minutes. The weapons pack much more punch online, with a single bullet to the brain from any weapon resulting in an instant kill. LMGs are weak and not worth their weight. Assault Rifles play the backbone of every firefight. Perfect balance.
After all factors are weighed in, this game is great. It made me buy a Playstation 3 after playing on my Xbox 360 for 2 and a half years. I am very pleased with this game, as it kept every promise that we trusted it for.
