Killzone 2

spacedandie's Killzone 2 (PlayStation 3) review

Good but generic

Everyone told me that Killzone 2 was the first game to get when I purchased a PS3. They said it would blow my mind and keep me hooked. Well at first they were right but after a few hours I was just bored. The game did draw me in at the beginning with its gorgeous cinematics . But after playing for a while I found that it was just another shooter with your average tight ass space marines or whatever you want to call them. I didn't really care about the story. In fact I don't really even remember what it was. The game had its moments but ultimately it was just another "shoot stuff, move on, repeat" game. The mutiplayer was probably the best thing about this game. It kept me hooked for a long time but when I buy a game I really need a good single player campaign so ultimately this game went back to Gamestop. If your looking for a good multiplayer shooter then snag this game, but if you want a well developed plot and characters then you better move on.

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...
