Gamespot 9.5 (Halo)

Gamespot 9.0 (KZ2)

IGN 9.5(Halo)

IGN 9.4(KZ2)

Metacritic 94 (Halo)

Metacritic 91 (KZ2)

Now by all means Im not saying Killzone 2 is a bad game at all, its just that it didnt "kill" Halo like many cows believed. Not even just rating wise, I dont think it would be a stretch to say that more people play Halo online then Killzone 2 online. With no doubt in my mind Halo still remains the king. Anyone else agree?

Oh and as a sidenote, I think this should be showed to that one user here who has a picture of Killzone 2 with a crown and a staff in his hand claiming that it "killed" Halo.

Anyone who hyped Killzone 2 as a Halo killer really were not hoping it would be a Halo killer, they just wanted ownage rights on there alternate accounts.

I guess not but I don't think it was hyped a "Halo killer"

regardless I've enjoyed KZ2 much more than I've ever enjoyed any Halo game released.

I don't think there ever will be a Halo killer. The game is so hyped by Microsoft and fans of the game that the hype meter will always overflow before its release.

PLEASE PLEASE! Xbox fans, Halo 3 MUST be the only game on the Xbox 360. How can Killzone 2 be the Halo killer, if Halo 3 is the ONLY game that Xbox has. And don't tell me how its not the only game on the 360 because you wouldn't keep talking about a 2 year old game.

Its actually sad to see.

KZ2>>>Halo3 period, end of story. Dont really care what the critics say. If Halo3 and KZ2 were rated again KZ2 would be the winner in ratings.

Why are you comparing 2001's Halo?

Anyways, KZ2 was never hyped as a Halo killer.

KZ1 was.

-------------------------

Why are threads claiming things like this made by New posters?

There are no "Killer Games", No Mario, Zelda, Halo, God of War Killer games.

Nothing can kill Halo, it doesn't matter how much better it is, Halo just has an incredibly large following.

Killzone 2 is a much better game though.

DOOM1 is better than halo3 and Killzone 2 combined acording to his logic.

And halo 1,halo2, halo3 are the same also. (this indeed is true LOL)

Reviwers expectation rises each new day and game is released. It th evolution of gaming, halo3 wouldnt even 9 in today standards.

Same goes for Resistance 1,2. Now killzone 2 is out, the expectation for FPS has rised, at least on Ps3.

The wii standard is the only still stuck in 2001-04.

...what about those of us who still talk about games that are 10+ years old? a 2 year old game is not old. if it does seem old at that age, it was probably never a very good game.

anyway this topic sucks, killzone 2 was sweet

Yes, standards change, but not so fast as you are saying. 2 years is not a big cap, especially in FPS genre, where everything have been done and seen already. Halo 3 would be an AAA game even on today's standards.
