Flat on it's face? Shallow experience?

Are you 2 people sure you were playing Killzone??? True, although not a Halo Killer (admitted even by OPM), it doesn't take much away from the game itself. It's a great game, with gorgeous graphics. The AI does have some qwerks, although all-in-all the Helghast are tough opponents. If this game is being referred to as anything, it is that it's what Rising Sun SHOULD have been! PS2 fan boys tricking the public?? Haha, I don't think so. You are the ones tricking the public. Although it could be improved (name one game that COULDN'T be improved!) it is an excellent game that all PS2 owners should at least try out. It's got a great online mode also. Summin' it all up, Killzone is NOT a Halo (or Halo 2) killer by any means. The biggest problem is that the engine pushes the PS2 a little to far sometimes. It IS, however, a fun, entertaining game that I HIGHLY recomend checking out. Ignore people that say you will be terribly dissapointed- you won't.

Killzone: I just picked up the demo and let me tell u this a really good game!!!! There is nothing wrong that i can see even with all the negative reviews, except killzone seems to be to much for ps2. And if u dont have a new ps2 then a building may appear out of nowhere.But none the less this is the best fps shooter ever for ps2. And i think that once u try it, Ull play it so much it wont even be funny.

killzone is probably the greatest PS2 FPS game ever, only tying with Timesplitters 2. The graphics are nice and tight. Multiplayer is amazing. 12 players online or 2 player co-op.
i dont have a network adaptor so cant play online.

Gritty, Challenging Game

I bought Killzone and have been playing it for a few days now and I have to say this is an excellent gritty game. I love the fact that there is a delay for reloads. You use real weapons in a gritty and realistic battlefield. The dialogue is good. I am having a lot of fun with this game! I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Very credible, good looking FPS for PS2

FIrst if you are looking for a "Halo-Killer" then forget it and go buy an XBox and Halo 2, I am alitte tired of every reviewer comparing every other FPS to Halo and then trashing a game because its not Halo. Get over it; Halo is great for what it is, but personally I don't want every shooter to behave exactly like Halo

"Killlzone" is a very, very credible shooter for PS2, which is a platform that has been sorely lacking in the genre. It of course looks great. Best graphics I have seen on the graphically inferior PS2. It makes you wonder why other games can't get the same performance out of their games. On larger screens you do see a bit of pixelating and minor flickering on the edges, especially when running through hallways. BUt ey what are going to do with a five year old chipset?

The controls are solid and fairly straight forward. At times the controls are a bit cluttered but no more or less so than Halo. THere is a great assortment of weaponry you'd expect. All and all I find the guns more realistic and easier to fire and aim then in Halo.

My only real complaint is that enemy A.I. and the diffficulties of levels are wildly uneven. You can shoot the same guy five times with a shotgun to bring him down. WHile you can bring the guy next to him down in one shot.

But the enemy A.I. does not spoil the game. If you are looking for a kickass shooter for PS2 ignore the reviewers complaining that they didn't get a knock off of Halo for Playstation 2 and pick up a copy of Killzone.

AMAZING GAME.

I REALLY ENJOY FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS AND THIS GAME IS THE BEST I HAVE PLAYED ON THE PS2. IT IS A STEAL IN THIS PRICE RANGE.

A real winner, but with some faults...

I bought Killzone about a month ago and I must admit, I wasn't too sure what to expect. When I finally got around to starting the game I was impressed by the cool FMV sequences and awesome graphics. The only problem I encountered was the controls which at first were very difficult to get used to, and occasionally I still make mess-ups, especially since my brother has a profile with seperate controls. In other words, sometimes I want to reload and I end up blowing myself to s*** with a grenade. But that aside, "Killzone," for PS2 is still an awesome experience...

The game begins with a chilling FMV cutscene showing the Invasion rally of the Helghast and the beginning of the invasion. You then start the real game as Cpt. Jan Templar, a member of the ISA Rapid Reaction Force (R.R.F), a group created to be the first line of defence in case of an emergency. Anyway, you begin in the trenches of the planet Vekta and this level also serves as a kind of tutorial for the player i.e it teaches you how to sprint, duck, fire, throw and cook grenades etc. Templar is not the only character you will be able to use, and later on you will encounter three other characters. The first of these characters is Luger, a Shadow Marshall (or assassin if you prefer) capable of high speed and the ability to get into areas other characters cannot. The second is Rico, an obnoxious, arrogant Heavy Weapons specialist and an ISA regular, capable of withstanding heavy fire and carrying extra ammo for heavy weapons. Finally there's Col. Hakha, a half-Helghast, half-human spy who is able to use enemy weapons with great effect and carry extra ammo for Helghast type weapons. Every character has their own weapons and special abilities, which ensures you'll never get bored. 5/5 for character variety.

There are also 16 different weapons in the game, from the smallest pistol carrying 7 rounds, to the mighty Squad Cannon, an anti-tank weapon capable of firing 1 or 2 round bursts. You'll come into contact with every weapon during gameplay and will soon be able to learn which weapons best suit your situation and which best suit you. A rocket launcher for example is a much better long distance weapon for heavy troops rather than a light machinegun (L.M.G). Ammo is never really a problem and there will always be some kind of weapon for you to use. 5/5 for carried weapons.

The storyline is not highly original but the overall concept and execution of the game is fantastic. You'll explore many different environments icluding swamps, cities, snowy mountains and wild jungles; all beautifully rendered with great ambient lighting. There will be various vehicles for you to destroy, but unfortunately you cannot utilise any, which would automatically have put the fun rating up to 5 stars. You can utilise some mounted machineguns however, so for mounted and vehicular weapons, "Killzone," gets 2/5.

I also recommend you play this game on the hard difficulty setting since you'll get the full challenge of the game that way. And honestly, hard isn't really that hard, so easy and normal should be a cakewalk for even newcomers to shoot-em-ups on PS2. 4/5 difficulty for the hard setting and 1/5 for the easy setting.

The multiplayer on the game is pretty good and there are various modes of gameplay including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Assault, and Defend and Destroy. There are also about 8 different multiplayer maps of contrasting size, settings and configurations, and the best maps are "Southern Hills," "Beach Head," "Canyon Crossing," and "Park Terminal." You can also play with a friend and up to 14 bots on either easy, normal or hard difficulty. 4.5/5 for the multiplayer option.

So despite the confusing controls and inability to weild tanks and APC's etc. This game is a fanstastic purchase. It's not the best shoot-em-up ever, but it's certainly a strong competitor. If you like a gripping game full of action, thrills and a variety of weapons, characters and environments, then "Killzone," is for you. Overall Killzone gets a solid 4/5 stars and should last you a fair amount of time. So buy it today, you won't regret it!

Great game, minor flaws.

Overall, this is a great game - definately worth getting. It never gets too frustrating and it's just right for gameplay (it isn't too easy and not too hard). It has many different levels to play and will provide hours and hours of quality gameplay. I haven't seen any problems with the A.I system, enemies usually hide behind corners and pop out to shoot and quickly go back to hide again. They are very aware of their surroundings, no matter how far you are from them, they can hear the bullets and will return fire, that is great artificial intelligence compared to most other games.

The two flaws that do ruin the game are very minor, one being that there aren't enough checkpoints in the game. there is nothing worse than having gone through 80% of a level only to die right before you get to the end and you have to start the whole mission over. Some levels offer checkpoints while others don't, there should be at least one for every level - at least at the halfway point. The second flaw is the graphics. Every now and again you will see dead bodies laying on the floor with the feet twitching rapidly, you will even see your own character's feet do that. Other times you will see an enemy's body through the wall and sometimes you can see a part of the ground move left to right while just inches away the other side of the ground is perfectly still.

The good definately outweighs the bad for this game, the flaws are very minor and the gameplay is excellent. If you want a game that will last you longer than a couple of weeks than pick this game up. It's worth the money.
