The most overhyped game of the year...

The award goes to....Killzone, the biggest disappointment of the year. How anyone would have the nerve to compare this to Halo 2 or worse yet call it a "Halo Killer" is really insulting. It is already getting panned on reviews. I am not an XBox fanboy, PS2 is my primary system but come on. If you have played the beta you know the online game play is slow and poorly implemented. The game is available today so you can see what I am talking about. Here is what I liked about the game: The theme. The theme that was essentially ripped off.

Everything else about the game will leave you with a complete feeling of mediocrity, it's linear, it's short, there is a lot of slowdown. Don't get me wrong it is not the worst game ever, but it does not live up to the hype and it is not as good as you would think it should be. If you have actually played the game you should post.

This game just falls FLAT on it's face

Everyone, please becareful.

We have PS2 fan boys. Please don't trick the public. People are paying $45 for this game. So please give a realistic review.
I have played through the game, and it just does not live upto the phrase Halo-beater. It is not Halo or anywhere near it.

It does have major problems, like slow downs, graphical issues, and bad AI. These in my view are the greatest let downs.
Yes, this game has been overhyped, to a degree people like myself actually found the game a chore. This game comes out 3 yrs after Halo, and I did expect it to run circles around Halo, it didn't even scratch the surface of Halo, never mind making a dent.

I know Guerilla games do not make FPS, so I cannot blame them for there first take at the FPS market.
This game reminded me of the Medal of Honour series, but the story is not as gripping as Medal of Honour, nor is it as entertaining as the series. It falls short on many fronts.

I recommend a rent on this game, before a purchase, especially as allot of you will be expecting high expectations from this game.

Be cautious and rent before you spend 45 SMACKEROONIES, or you'll end up trying to sell it on ebay like me.

Bad game warning!

I own this game and it no way a "Halo Killer", it is not a "Metal of Honor Killer". it is not a "Red Faction Killer" it is not a "James Bond Killer" it is a an "enjoyment Killer". This is not even in the top ten FPS that have come out period. I think we all had high hopes but it is total disapointment. The game is slow, as in the frame rate is bad. The game is linear and short, the online sucks tons of lag, there really is no story and most of all you feel like you are struggling with the aim and controls. Rent this before you buy, don't be a complete fool like me. Thanks Sony.

What a piece of garbage!!! I rented this game and returned it the next day because I didn't want it to plague my other PS2 games with its filth. Thank goodness I didn't buy this crap. The framerate is terrible and the screen feels like its right up in your face. I couldn't play it because it gave me a headache; the first time ever while playing video games. From what I hear, you shoot the same looking bad guys the entire game. What fun is that? I'd give it a zero. I've gotta go. Thinking about the $6 I spent on renting this game is starting to make me angry, and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Only a baffoon would not see this coming. If it can't even handle Deus Ex 1 and Rainbow Six 3, what makes you think it's going to be able to run a halo clone. Call up any psychic, they'll tell you the same thing I'm telling you. Sattle up the syrup boys, we are headed to the flopzone.

Halo Killer? Yeah Right.

The creator of this game just slapped the title of "Halo Killer" onto this game so people will buy it.Brainwashed people will go,"Wow! Halo Killer!This game must be great.".Don't be a fool.Get Halo 2.

PS:It's kind of sad that PS2 took this long to come up with a game that can even have the title of Halo Killer...

Flop.

After spending about 10 hours playing this monstrosity it bacame clear to me that the era of the Playstation2 is done. I packed up my PS2 and dozens of games and got what little value in trade-in that I could to switch to XBox and I couldn't be happier. Basically, this lame game was the mitigating factor to switch.

All you do in killzone is run through levels that are so similar from one another it's stupid. There is no variety whatsoever in the enemies, and that really is the main problem. It's just wave after wave of the same dudes in black saying the same phrases over and over in their deep voices.

Oh yeah, it takes at least 5 to 6 head shots to down an average Helghast-it's so fake. The story is lame, the graphics are fair but just as dull as everything else on the game. I guarantee you that not once will you find yourself thinking "that was a cool effect", or "how'd they do that?". This game is the perfect cure for insomnia, however. Trust me and [...]. Horrible.

Overall a Real Rubbish Game

How can a game that was meant to be a Halo killer, be as dismal as this game. The graphics are rubbish and the AI is the worse I have ever seen in a game.

I played through this game, and I got to a point where the repetition just got boring. I had to go on ebay and sell it.

A total waste of money and a waste of space and time.

If games are really going to be this bad, then someone needs to shoot me.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

This Game sucks. I bought it a few days ago and it is not a Halo Killer. Halo is much better. The graphics are the worst I've ever seen. The cutsceens may be good but nothing else. The sniper rifle is way to hard to aim and you fight the same old black bodied red eyed enemy throughout the whole borimg game. The first thirty minutes are the only fun parts of the game. After that the game gets repetitive. Please don't buy it it is a wast of fiffty dollars.

EHEM... THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF S#%T
