Truly an awesome game, true to what they hype says about it
User Rating: 10 | Killzone 2 PS3
This game is truly awesome and an experience that will last with me for a long long time. This game is almost totally flawless and it truly was worth the wait and it does live up to the hype. I picked this game up the day it came out and as soon as I got home I popped it in my Playstation, and it was truly a mind blowing experience. At first I must admit I was mildly disappointed, since some parts of the early levels are just okay and I couldn't connect the multiplayer but as I advanced further in the single player and finally got a good taste of the multiplayer my opinion changed. The story is better than many have made it out to be although I find many of the characters annoying, especially Garza, for whom I felt no sympathy for at all when he died, and I also thought Sev and the rest of the squad were lame. I think the developers were going for a kind of unique thing with the squad by making them seem like wisecracking badasses but it is really more of an annoyance than anything else, and I would have preferred to have had them be the normal ISA soldiers that you fight alongside (the game never explains why you and your squadmates do not have to wear helmets and are allowed to act so out of line). That was really the only negative thing about this game and I thought the Helghast were AWESOME!!! Along with the multiplayer being some of the best ever, I think the ranking system is just right and the special achievements really do make a unique system that works, with the real rewards behind achievements making you want to complete them. The only game that has bested this game in multiplayer is Call of Duty 4 and 5, and while I live I would be surprised if any game ever bests them in multiplayer. So is this the best game ever. No. Does it come really close. YES! Really I have not much else to say except: BUY. THIS. GAME. NOW.
Graphics: 10.0 The graphics are one of the most awesome components of this game, and they are probably the best graphics I've ever seen! (that's right Crysis fanboys)
Gameplay: 10.0 The gameplay really is all its cracked up to be and more and is SO AWESOME!!
Story 9.0 The weakest part of the game, with somewhat annoying squadmate characters. However, the Helghast characters were well written and terrifically voice acted.
Replayability 10.0 This game hasn't grown old for me yet and I have played nothing but it since I got it a week ago.
Overall (Not an average of above scores): 10.0 This game is truly amazing and awesome and if you have not bought it you are really missing out. The fabled "Halo Killer" has come, and like the Helghast it is not taking any prisoners.
