Killzone 2

Killzone 2 - PS3

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Poor storytelling
Loads of content Doesn't live up to expectations
Intense action Braindead computer AI
Good but still second rate!

One of the main reasons I bought the PS3 after the price drop was this game. While it was debunked as the "Halo Killer" I thought that it would at least measure up to Gears of War. I was mistaken! Even Marcus Fenix has more personality than that clown Sev. I won't even mention what I thought of that psycho Rico.

As for the game, the background graphics are great but the character models suck. The game's action level is really intense but that wears thin the longer you push ahead. There was no story to speak of, take down evil dictator and his fascist henchies (where have I heard this one before). I had to start asking myself halfway through, what the heck am I supposed to be fighting for.

Overall, the game is much like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Modern Warfare, but at least those two games had something of a story to break up the firefight. Nothing memorable here. Dissapointment!

I completely agree with your review. I just got my PS3 and this was the first game I rented. I too am disappointed by this game. To touch on a few more issues: The weapons are unimaginative for a sci-fi game as well as the enemy design. As a developer, how lazy do you have to be to make the enemy an alien race that looks exactly like us, but they speak with English accents? Ooh the English are soo evil. Perhaps they explained this aspect of the story on the previously released games? The weapon inaccuracy is also terrible. I can see my cross-hairs are aligned in the correct spot to squeeze off a few rounds and nothing will hit. Sometimes I have to empty an entire clip to kill the enemy even though his head is clearly visible from behind cover. Lastly, the vehicle controls absolutely blow. If you can't make the controls fun, why even put it in your game?
