OK now to start off i am a big fan of killzone 1, but i'm going to try my hardest to be unbiased...which is pretty tough when you find out just how amazing this game is..it takes an interesting approach to the sci-fi theme, whereas, its futuristic yet oddly familiar and modern.

gameplay: 9.5

only reason i do not give this a perfect 10 is some peopel will not liek the more realistic and weighed down feel of the game, peronally i love it and it definitly adds to the feel of the game, you truly feel as though you control Sev"s (the protagonist) movements from the way he bends his knees to jump to the turning of his gun. online is a little more fast paced and slightly arcady but in a great way

story: 6.5

now the story is not the best but it is basically a war, no secret alien coverup or dealings with mystical forces or legends or anything, no its a war and vetka is invading, and dealing with massive resistance. the action and battles play out like a great war flick, the fairly simple story doestn detract from the game..it just doesnt really add anything neither

graphics: 10

i will go ahead and say this is the best looking console game in my opinion, the model are smooth and move beautifully, the response to bullets are superb and varied, Guerrilla has somehow managed to make the ugly planet Helghan, look beautiful, the wind blows debris flies, the lighting is superb, definitely a masterpiece (and i am playing on a SDtv)

sound- 8.5

bullets whiz by your head, Helghast soldier taunt and threaten you, and explosions galore, truly a beauty to hear as well as see, the intense action is also helped by a great dynamic soundtrack and wonderful voice acting.

online: 9

fantastic and addictive, you will find yourself lost trying to unlock new badges and just trying to master this tough portion of the game, it is quite balanced and frantic, some players will simply ignore you though, when talking, but the lack of headsets on PSN is an issue with every game i guess, oh and in-game music makes a much welcomed appearance online

pros:

-Beautiful graphics and environments
- game play feels smooth and responsive
- brilliant action and battles, truly addicting game play
- fantastic online portion
-challenging

cons:

-controls may scare off very few players
- can be frustrating at times
- it ends
