GS said KZ had had far too many tech issues, and it doesn't do anything to stand out.

I never played it, im just going to wait for killzone 2.

And if it's ONLY technical issues, than I couldn't care less. Mass Effect had some, but I loved it.

It was not bad, I thought it was meant to be good, but had framerate issues? Plus killzone on the psp was great.

What technical issues? Poor collision detection (You get stuck on corners a foot away) Bad AI (Enemies turn around) Falling through the map Wacky hit boxes (Sometimes you can aim over a persons head and still kill them) Poor framerate Clipping I enjoyed the game but it did have serious problems.

Played the demo.

It was just another generic FPS. It literally didn't do ANYTHING new.

I played it. It wasn't BAD per se, but it wasn't good either. The graphics were pretty ok. But the slowdowns in MP kind of got in the way. And one thing I hated about the game is the lack of controler options, you couldn't even change the controler configuration. I play in southpaw (legacy? i'm not sure) and the game gave me no option to change the configuration to suit my style, so I didn't really play it that long, although I wanted to. :(

Why should I bother to explain when you can just read this.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/killzone/index.html

It was not that it was such a terrible game, it's that after playing so many vastly superior original Xbox shooters it looked like a joke to most people that owned both consoles.

It was an ok game the thing i liked most about it was the helghast characters and there design, but it didnt really do anything to stand out from other FPS, I played it when it first came out so I dont remember much of the story but I believe it left out the whole history of the helghast, never really telling me why they were opressed or what forced them to live on their new home planet that i believe was called Helghan.

Yep I'll tell you why it was bad.

1. Horrible A.I.

2. The worst most clunkyest controls Iv'e ever had the displeasure to use in a FPS in my life (and ive played alot)

3. Boring story

4. Enemys all look the same

5. Technical Issues

On a good note this games grafix were pretty darn amazing for the ps2.

I think though the reason cows liked this game is because they had about 2 good FPS on the system, so if you're a cow and didnt own an xbox, you wouldnt even know what a good fps plays like:lol:

Last gen I had a PS2, and other than that I played PC. I still hated Killzone, and the fact that it's sequel is one of the premier reasons to go with Sony this gen (along with MGS4) caused me to get a 360 last year instead. Killzone was only special to begin with because it was going to give the PS2 it's first real exclusive shooter, and something to come back with when MS fanboys brought Halo/Halo 2 up. It was mediocre, and I don't anticipate sequels of mediocre games.

All true except I really like the setting/atmosphere/story yadda yadda. I'm really pumped for Killzone 2 though after seeing the footage.

Look, you don't need to bring Xbox into this. Medal of Honour, Call of Duty, Red Faction, Timesplitters, Black, the Bond games, Project Snowblind, and the ports of Half Life and Deus Ex are all on PS2, and every one of them is better then that horrible game Killzone.

I remember throwing garnades at the enemy and they would fall down 3 seconds after the garnade exploded.

It just needed more work, the AI sucked alot, I would give it an 8

In the grand scheme of things Killzone was medicore, but compared to all the other FPS out there that you could be playing instead of KZ, it was trash.

ill go out on a limb and say other than the snow level, it had some of the best level design ive ever played in an fps. something just felt good about it. i actually had fun playing the game.

but i would be willing to bet most people here have never played the game or played it with a negative attitude after seeing the 6.9 score here...i played it before i saw a gs review. it wasnt an amazing game and no where near the best fps ive played but it was fun for a while and the levels were cool

What technical issues? Poor collision detection (You get stuck on corners a foot away) Bad AI (Enemies turn around) Falling through the map Wacky hit boxes (Sometimes you can aim over a persons head and still kill them) Poor framerate Clipping I enjoyed the game but it did have serious problems.Ibacai

Agreed, I played the game and there was a level that was all gray.

Killzone was a buggy muddy textured mess of a game that controlled poorly and also had rock stupid A.I. Cow's hype Killzone 2 because they think it's going to hold a candle to halo 3 or many other better shooters.The only thing I see special about Killzone 2 is the weather effects everything else is Been there done that before.

it has issues and obviously you haven't played many console shooters or many games like it for that matter. you were prolly one that was hyping dirge of the cerberus....lolanyways, no its not that bad, but killzone 1 wasn't innovative, it wasn't maing and it had problems, like no jumpig for one, they could of at least added roll...but yeah, killzone 2 will be good tho, with killzone 1 a 7.8 for a base and lots of money and tons of passion and effort being put into the game don't expect killzone 2 to be anything less then great...it score tho expect at least 8 but thats worest case scenario.

Yes, you can say the same for Mass Effect but the difference is that Mass Effect has much more depth. An RPG can get by with technical issues because of everything the game offers, an FPS can't.
