Which one should I get, if I were to get SF IV it would be on xbox 360.

Both got 9.0's, so they're both fantastic games, although I've gotten a lot more mileage out of SFIV. It's the best fighter this gen.

I bought both games the day they hit the shelves and I've played SFIV waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I've played KZ2... KZ2 is not bad at all, but I've always been more of a fighters guy than a FPS one.

It really just depends on whether you are up for a fighter or a shooter at the moment.

If you like shooters then go with Killzone 2. AFter all it is a good game. Street fighter 4 is also a good game for fighters.

I own both, they are both great games...:)

I actually own SF4 on both Consoles, but I enjoy much more on PS3 due to the Dpad. Of course, if you got an extra $100, get a fight stick (actually get two, so buds can play).

I am a SF Player, and have won many tourney's over the years, including two recent ones for SF4, the PS3 is by far a better DEFAULT machine for the game due to the Dpad.

Have fun, both are great games.

If you can only buy one, get SF IV, not only you can play online multiplayer, but you can have friends over and play on the same screen, more fun.

This doesn't really belong in SW :P.
EDIT: But I should help you anyway. I hired SF4 and I didn't really like it, actually I didn't like it at all. So I'm guessing that KZ2 would be better. :P

Both are great games, but I recommend SF4 over Killzone 2. Though get a fightpad or stick, because it'll make your experience on and offline much much better.

I don't wish to question your skillz, but I've had no problems with the controls from the first second i played the game. It's a joy to play with the 360 controller and i use all of it, analogue and D-pad.

As for which game to get, I'd say SFIV because of how much I love it, but i have yet to get a PS3 so I don't know about Killzone 2. SFIV single player is excellent, challenge mode is really good fun (fighting when invisible was tough) and 2 player is amazing, especially the commentary :o

a quick play for SF4 isn't enough to really judge it.

if you go with replay value :P at least for me... killzone 2 is the way to go. Excellent and deep multiplayer.

How many shooters do you already own compared to fighters? That should answer your question since both games are great.

You can't go wrong with either choice. Both are great.

Unless you have friends that also play SF4, you'll get a lot more mileage out of KZ2's multiplayer.

Street Fighter IV is horrible, IMO. Or maybe I suck at it.

... IMO Street fighter 4 is not worth getting inless A) Your a diehard Street Fighter fan.. B) Know many friends that would play you in real life.. C) Are willing to wait.. As it stands the multiplayer is complete suckage, hopefully this will change once the championship patch comes out.

You did NOT just disrespect Audiosurf!

As for the TC, get the one from the genre that you like more. KZ2 is a great shooter and SF4 is a great fighter.

Rza_rectah
I agree about the controls, unless you like to use the analog sticks, or you buy a controller better suited for fighting games. I'd personally get SF4 because I like fighting games and still enjoy fighting against my friends. I don't have any experience with KZ2 but it does look like a nice FPS. If you don't already have a FPS then from what I've read, this seems like as good a place to start as any other highly rated FPS. Although, I have seen some say that they like Call of Duty more, but they may have just been saying this in an attempt to make KZ2 look bad.

So, SF4 if you like fighters, have controller(s) best suited for fighters OR KZ2 if you don't already have a decent FPS.

ok ..... this isnt even close . Killzone may have a better Single player but it when it ends so does the fun, the MP is busted and isnt fun. The stages are huge but often only have fighting in one area. They have a level system but with a Lobby system its busted too many times you'll play against people way beyond your skill and ones who have high level powers . You know the ones that should available from the jump like the ability to revive players.

Ken Fighter 4 on the other hand has perfect balance spot freaking on . I've been as high as 1650 bp and I've beaten people with 3000 bp and I only pick Dan ranked #24 in the power rankings so yeah.

If you want to buy SF4, buy the PS3 version. The PS3 has a better D-pad. Unless you're going to buy the arcade controller.

I own both and have the tournament fight stick and must say if you are a street fighter fan you would buy this game regardless since you are asking which game get Killzone2 it has more replay value. I say this because if you are a new street fighter player you are going to get owned online over and over again and you will have little to no replay value.

I bought both on release, and I've put A LOT of hours into both games, but I prefer KZ2 (that could also be because I get raided online in SFIV - but man is it a lot of fun.. I had blisters on my thumb the week it came out, I was playing the game so much) Both are good.
