What's so great about Killzone 2?

I played the game briefly before when I visited a friend, but I finally got around to renting it yesterday, after taking a pretty long break away from my consoles.

I don't really see what everyone thinks is so great about it though. So far I played about 45 minutes into the game, but after that I was starting to get bored. Graphically the game is absolutely amazing, better than pretty much anything else I've played on consoles, but as far as the gameplay goes I just wasn't feeling it. The level design felt boxed in and linear, the controls felt pretty clunky, and I just couldn't get into shooting. It didn't really feel like anything special in this aspect, and I don't know the Killzone story well enough for that to especially interest me.

It's really just the last level that is so great.

That and the insanely fun AI on elite difficulty.

Killzone 2 is great imo because it has a solid campaign with half decent friendly A.I, and lasts about 7-8 hours, better than the usual 5-6 hours. Plus it's online mode is additive and has some really great maps. Also everything about the game is just so polished, while it may not make any new ground for the genre it just takes everything good about the genre and combines it into one wonderful highly polished game, just like COD:4 did. That's why its an awesome game.

Tehh Graphics!!!!!!

Absolutely nothing.

Maybe the graphics I guess. :?

I was like that when I first started playing it, but it grew on me!

You always seem to criticize games you briefly played, but anyways its pretty but its an average shooter at best but that doesnt stop it from being enjoyable mind you.

I liked it. It has good graphics and the gameplay wasn't honestly that bad at all. Sure the controls take some getting used to, but I didn't mind it at all. I thought it was a great game, deserving of the 9.siLVURcross

I actually haven't finished kz2 yet despite getting it day 1. Im saving it for later cus I must have burnt my self out on fps and saving the world for the time being and I had enough.

R2 controls > kz2 :oops:

Nothing is great about it. All of the review sites were paid off and lied. Nothing in the gameplay is worth even playing at all. /sarcasmPoppaGamer

Bread_or_Decide

Im able to get use to the controls but it feels harder when playing another fps before you pop in kz2. I suppose the way the gun moves in kz2 when he walks is more realistic and that mess's me up

the sp is really nothing to write home to mom about but the mp is amazing (the bullet leg is kinda lame)

What I like the about killzone 2 is the mixture of the graphics and gameplay, sound and all that stuff. The shooting is real intense and the way the enemy goes down with all that blood flying everywhere, his limbs flying about, all that constitutes for this intense experience. The huge, massive scaled levels lend to it's intense experience and how all this stuff is going on at once, like the explosions, the men shouting, guns blazing, and on some occacsions, the lighting striking. Its just it's intensity that draws me in.

The graphics, gameplay, campaign and multiplayer are all superbly polished and a lot of fun. You should really stick with the game, the game picks up a lot after the halfway mark. Some parts of the final level are the most accurate depiction of war I've ever seen (the fight outside the palace entrance was insane).

One thing people often forget about KZ2 is its AI, which is easily the best I've ever seen in any videogame.

I get ya. I played through it once, and while it had a few "whoa" moments, I couldn't help but feel slightly dissapointed at the end. Also the mutliplayer was..eh.. "sub-par", what the big deal with it is, I really have no clue. CoD4 and Halo 3 are really much, much better games, regardless of what cows would try to have you believe.

nothing special. the controls are among the worst for a FPS ever, imo.

a lot more people looked forward to playing halo 3 than killzone 2.

so you came to such conclusion after just 45 mins of gameplay??? why dont you finish the whole campaign first and spend some time online too then you can be able to form an opinion..

Single player is great, AI doesnt mess around especially on elite, Visuals are great especially the enemy animations and deaths, so satisfiying to get a kill in campaign and multiplayer. Multiplayer is to me Above Average, ranks up there with BF2 and CoD 4 on pc to me, right now splitting up my time between CoD4 and KZ2 multiplayer atm,like the class system and their different abilities, oh and the way the website tracks stats of your matches, and little top down video of your most recent match, nothing like watching a match you had play out and watching your dot pull off a 190 meter headshot.

I don't see why everyone says the game is so great looking. The gun and character models are great, but the world itself is among one of the most bland and ugliest I've ever seen in any game. Pretty much every level is so dull and gray/brown. NintendoBoy1996
