Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is one of the greatest shooters ever :). If you get the chance, pick up Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena later this April. It's a remake of Escape from Butcher Bay and includes an entirely new campaign as well.

Weight to your character is something new? Squads are new? You clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

"There's more to it but i dont wanna spoil the awesomeness of this game"

Yea no there isn't, you just can't think of anything else to say.

AAllxxjjnn
LOL man do i have to explain the squad part differently so an 8 year old would understand ? name me an online FPS that uses squads the same way being used in Killzone II and also game mode rotations during online matches without the wait? that's what i thought because you can't think of one.

None. Miccy D's Guy is a trip. I've seen him type that he wants to buy a PS3 for KZ2, but he only posts against the damn game. No offense, but sheesh :P.TREAL_Since

I pre-ordered and paid my KZ2 bundle :| just waiting to arrive at the end of the month


P.S. GRAW 2 isn't a FPS :?.TREAL_Since


Well at least on PC is a FPS.

Good job eliteKitteh.... its an informative post with a summary of all score reviews so far... with maybe the exception of 2 -3 of them which gave it a good (not great) score, overall KZ2 is doing great...

Can't wait till the demo hits EU stores next thursday.... :P

PC World gave it a 90/100 and commented in this way...

'Make no mistake, it's clearly a looker. But so what. At some point the visual novelty wears off and you're left with a game that either worked, or didn't, or fell somewhere in limbo-land between.

Which makes it fortunate that Killzone 2 not only works, but in most cases excels. Even its mediocre campaign improves if you treat it as the developer's intended - a series of pitched battles designed to showcase an AI that's at worst entirely competent, and at best, remarkable.'

I know KZ2 is not perfect but a great/interesting review coming from a source which is oriented on PC gaming, and we know how FPS games on PC are superior..

Gamespy gave it 4.5/5

Gameplay-wise, there's nothing in Killzone 2 that you haven't played in other first-person shooters. The most unique gameplay element here is a gimmicky, awkward one -- you'll occasionally be forced to twist and turn the Sixaxis controller to do things like turn valves and set explosives. Who thought this was a good idea?

The single-player campaign is fairly predictable and linear, carried along by the strength of the core combat system. The enemy AI does a good job of providing a challenge, making you break away from your comfortable cover with well-aimed grenades and suppressing your movement with blind fire. The friendly AI, on the other hand, is oftentimes lacking, whether it's leaving you alone to deal with enemy troops as they race to the next checkpoint or failing to direct their fire on the biggest threats. You'll be able to handle yourself capably, though, as long as you remember to make copious use of the game's lean-and-peek cover system. Dragging down the pace of the combat is the need to constantly restock ammunition, since your weapons run through ammunition very quickly.

And expecting this from the Multiplayer


Multiplayer matches are handled in an interesting way, with randomized game type generation allowing for varied and engaging match variations. You can start off with a search and destroy game, for instance, on a timer. Once the time runs out, the game may quickly transition to an assassination mission, where one team has to defend a VIP from the opposing force. Once that game is done, you may get a capture-and-hold scenario, or a game of bodycount, where you just have to rack up the kills. By mixing up the match types regularly, Killzone 2 keeps things fresh and entertaining.


good enough the only reason i bought this game.

Why are you so interested in things like this? I'll tell you one thing, the only thing I'm interested in is the end result, I don't care what developers had in mind.

That doesn't change the fact that a video-games journalist has called the PS3's flagship title,a game thats had so much hype,money and resources thrown at it, mediocre.

Unbelievable.

That tells me that GG just aren't that good.Because if you can't produce a breathtaking,benchmark game with the time and money they had,then you never will.

Lately I find lots of reviews to be quite strict. My opinion is that those who review games have to loosen up a little bit. Those are just games. They are not reviewing new tank for US army. Fun and lasting appeal are the most important factors to me and based on all reviews I read so far I think thegame will diliver on that part.

[QUOTE="Malta_1980"]

for anyone who had doubts,

PC World gave it a 90/100 and commented in this way...

'Make no mistake, it's clearly a looker. But so what. At some point the visual novelty wears off and you're left with a game that either worked, or didn't, or fell somewhere in limbo-land between.

Which makes it fortunate that Killzone 2 not only works, but in most cases excels. Even its mediocre campaign
improves if you treat it as the developer's intended - a series of pitched battles designed to showcase an AI that's at worst entirely competent, and at best, remarkable.'

I know KZ2 is not perfect but a great/interesting review coming from a source which is oriented on PC gaming, and we know how FPS games on PC are superior..

GabeNewellsPie

ROFL.

5 Years and $60 million later and you get a "mediocre campaign".

:lol:

Yeah you didn't read the rest of the post did ya? please...

And can i quote that sig of yours? maybe this year you will admit it :P

Gamespy gave it 4.5/5

Gameplay-wise, there's nothing in Killzone 2 that you haven't played in other first-person shooters. The most unique gameplay element here is a gimmicky, awkward one -- you'll occasionally be forced to twist and turn the Sixaxis controller to do things like turn valves and set explosives. Who thought this was a good idea?

The single-player campaign is fairly predictable and linear, carried along by the strength of the core combat system. The enemy AI does a good job of providing a challenge, making you break away from your comfortable cover with well-aimed grenades and suppressing your movement with blind fire. The friendly AI, on the other hand, is oftentimes lacking, whether it's leaving you alone to deal with enemy troops as they race to the next checkpoint or failing to direct their fire on the biggest threats. You'll be able to handle yourself capably, though, as long as you remember to make copious use of the game's lean-and-peek cover system. Dragging down the pace of the combat is the need to constantly restock ammunition, since your weapons run through ammunition very quickly.

And expecting this from the Multiplayer


Multiplayer matches are handled in an interesting way, with randomized game type generation allowing for varied and engaging match variations. You can start off with a search and destroy game, for instance, on a timer. Once the time runs out, the game may quickly transition to an assassination mission, where one team has to defend a VIP from the opposing force. Once that game is done, you may get a capture-and-hold scenario, or a game of bodycount, where you just have to rack up the kills. By mixing up the match types regularly, Killzone 2 keeps things fresh and entertaining.


good enough the only reason i bought this game.McdonaIdsGuy

4.5/5 from Gamespy for a ps3 game is just astounding. At the same time laughable in their complaints, linear? heard of Geow gamespy? Friendly ai? Once again heard of Geow Gamespy? Predictiable? Ever heard of Geow of Gamespy lol. But anyway a 4.5 from them is just awesome. That was definitly one site that I was concerned about in what kind of score they would give. The other one is 1up, have they posted a review yet? Oh yea can we count the xbox blog review for it that gave KZ2 a 98/100?

Try reading the rest of the sentence...

Chutebox

That doesn't change the fact that a video-games journalist has called the PS3's flagship title,a game thats had so much hype,money and resources thrown at it, mediocre.

Unbelievable.

That tells me that GG just aren't that good.Because if you can't produce a breathtaking,benchmark game with the time and money they had,then you never will.

Really? Because it tells me that you have selective reading.

You're cluthing at straws dude.Stop doing it to yourself.

Regardless of what the rest of the sentence says,the word "mediocre" is still used to describe KZ2's campaign.I mean that's just disgraceful..Especially when you consider what I've already mentioned about the money thats been thrown at this game.

If I were a PS3 owner I'd be a little disappointed tbh.

I'm convinced that this game won't recieve AAA here at GS.

[QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"][QUOTE="killerfist"] Hows Too Human? :)killerfist
Was too human designed with the 360 in main? it was just a left over from 2 gens ago that made it to the xbox 360.

Why are you so interested in things like this? I'll tell you one thing, the only thing I'm interested in is the end result, I don't care what developers had in mind.

Ideas from last gen wont work this gen,Too Human used those ideas and failed,the game was a last gen crap..hell not even the graphics were good.

LOL someone is bringing up the $60 million for the cost of KZ2. When MS spent $50 million for dlc for a game that is 8 months old already lol. Come on now atleast we get a new experience for the money Sony has put into KZ2, and not just some rehash of a game I beat and others have beaten 8 months ago.

But since you are not i don't understand why you even are in a KZ2 thread, since you won't be able to play it anyways, this game should not concern you in any way, just as SMG or wii games don't concern me :D

You gotta consider who you're dealing with and if it's worth going to depth in the subject. In this case, it's far from worth it lol. But to be honest, I don't care what the developers do or how the come to the final product, as long as the final product is something I will really enjoy. And by the looks of it, KZ2 is just that. Can't wait.

Killzone 2 bots look really good since they are perfect for me to play against rather than dealing with stupid 12 year olds.

An what exactly did COD4 new? Nothing really, didn't stop it from getting a few GOTY's and lots of praise and AAA's. Just a quick example.

Again with the fanboy insults...please...if i like KZ2 and if i am interested in it doesn't mean i am a cow, i hyped gears2, does that make me a lem? also you should read my other post :P

And i guess that means 90% of all review sites have low standards :o how shocking...
