Killzone 2

ilduce620's Killzone 2 (PlayStation 3) review

Best shooter on the PS3

I bought the game when it came out, and since then have beaten it twice.  The single-player experience is excellent and captivating, while the multiplayer is second to none on the PS3.  I still jump in from time to time to play on the excellent maps shipped on the disc, as well as the great DLC maps that have been released since then.  The multiplayer section of the game includes multiple different player classes, as well as the ability to switch some of each class' abilities between the other classes, allowing me to "mix it up" whenever I feel like it, including mid-match.  
 
The graphics are nothing short of stunning, and as that has been covered countless times, I won't reiterate that here.  I will, however, comment on the controls.  Some have complained about the controls feeling "clunky," but personally, I got used to them within 30-60 min of playtime, which in my opinion is perfectly fine.  The update the developers pushed out "streamlines" the controls a bit, especially the sensitivity of the analog sticks, but I thought they were fine the way they were: the update simply makes them even better.

The game is a "must have" if you like shooters on the PS3.

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...
