Story 1/5 - It really did nothing for me at all. I didn't care about the plot. There might as well have been no characters at all. I especially felt nothing for the character you play as, and in a FPS game it's pretty important to feel like you're playing the role of that person. His character design was dull(what the hell kind of haircut is that?) and he was just dull in general. Rico was a total dickhead. Why would a trained soldier be that hot headed and rash? The guy with the bandana was forgetable and just cursed a lot. The door opening guy was decent and it's semi-sad that he died but the fact I refer to him as "door open guy" pretty much sums up how much I cared about him. My major gripe was the fact that you were on the planet Helghan, but the Helghast were not fleshed out at all. What do normal people on Helghan look like? Whats it actually like to live there? They basically are just an army of Darth Vaders that hate you for some reason. And thats all you know about them. And the ending really left a lot to be desired. The fact that the "boss fight" is the last thing you ever get to do in the game is really dissapointing. I was waiting for something else to happen. Yes the game is fun, but you can get that same gameplay in multiplayer. You're supposed to be playing a campaign for the story. And this really didnt deliver that at all. I still feel like I care about Killzone no more now than I did before I played it. Honestly the only thing I got out of the campaign was Trophies. But this is where its redeemed...

Multiplayer 5/5- It does what COD 4 did with character progression and expands it. The way it gives you everything in small doses is actually pretty brilliant. A game like TF2 where they give you everything up front can be pretty overwhelming to a new player. The way Killzone 2 is set up forces you to get good at the basics before you begin playing with the new classes and abilities. And as you get better with each class they give you a little more to play with. My only real complaint is that the game gets a little too unorganized and chaotic at times, but when the game is good it's GOOD. And that makes up for it. The game also feels pretty different each time I play it, I never have the same experience over and over like I do with Halo 3. It seems like I could be playing this for a while and I haven't gotten that from a shooter in quite a while. Killzone 2 is the thing that finally makes the PSN really shine and the fact that you're getting that experience for free is going to do very well for it.

"I loved Q3A's "dink" noise each time you landed a hit. "

So doing something too much and too hard can cause sores you say? Who knew.

I found changing it to this setting to be helpful as well. There is only one problem, zooming with R1 while holding down R2 to stay behind cover is awkward. You have to like shift your middle finger to R2 and then use your index finger to now press R1. It just doesn't feel right, but neither does pressing R3 to zoom in and out either. They just can't seem to get control schemes down in these games. In Killzone 1 I spent a half hour completely remapping the controls to make more sense and it still didn't feel right. I've played through the Killzone 2 demo a few times with Standard 1 and Alternate 1 and I can't decide which one I want because they both have their own issues and strengths.

Why do I want this? I DONT GET IT. WHY DO I WANT IT?

Where is this game on the Playstation Store? I've been looking all day and nothing.

That game looks like complete crap but you guys managed to make me interested in it to some degree for a split second. Kudos.

They really overdid it. Like seriously just a little splash of Halo would have sufficed, just enough that it meant something to them but wasn't shoved down people's throats. I mean honestly they are going to regret this when they are much older. I'm all for personalized weddings because I think weddings are so impersonal with all the stupid tradition involved in it, but this is too much.

Doesn't look too good honestly.  Maybe I'm just getting older, but I can't relate to these movies at all anymore.

I honestly hate it. Everyone just runs and guns which I have no interest in and there is absolutely no communication.  There is nothing I hate more in regards to gaming than playing a multiplayer game where no one is talking.
