User Rating: 9 | Killzone 2 PS3

KillZone 2 is a unique piece of work, and one that I can say is probably the most next gen game on the market. It keeps you fixed to your screen with jaw dropping visuals, intense action, addicting online, and tons to explore. Even though the first KillZone wasn't a real head turner this sequel is definitely a game to be noticed.

KillZone 2 has a lot of good features, but the thing you would probably notice first is it's graphical artistic beauty. These graphics immerse you into the battlefield, allowing you to feel the true grit and destruction of war. There's a lot of little features as well that can bring the gameplay experience to life. The odd news paper blowing down a cold industrial street, sandy winds constantly blowing through the desert plain, destructible scenery, and gray clouded sky's. These are just minor extra details that help contribute to immerse you into the KillZone universe. Without exaggerating, this game one of, if not the best visuals I have ever seen for first person shooters.

A lot of people say its not the graphics that make a good game it's the gameplay. Which is a true statement, and one that KillZone 2 does not over look. The online game play for KillZone 2 is a big part of the game that will keep players coming back for more. The online play is very rewarding, giving you tons of unlockable badges that gives you useful abilities, new weapons, and new classes. The classes in the game really give you your own unique individuality. By having the ability to switching your weapons and abilities to whatever you want, so no two players are exactly the same. The online maps are some of the most intricate maps I have ever played on with multiple floors, corridors, and paths it take a while to memorize everything. In an online game you can have up to 32 players, and every one can play on any map and not have the feeling of being to crowded or to alone. So if you were wondering about gameplay don't worry, KillZone 2 delivers.

The campaign story of KillZone 2 is full of fun memorable moments, moments that make you burst out laughing and call on your friends to say "I just did the coolest thing ever". Even though KillZone's storyline isn't too deep it gives you a good enough reason to fight your way through multiple groups of Helghast soldiers. In the campaign you play as Tomas Sevchenco or Sev foe short, paired up along with your squad members Rico, Garza, and Natko. Who all add humour and slightly corny dialog to the game, even when it seems inappropriate.

With all the hype KillZone 2 has been building for 2 years it doesn't disappoint. Delivering to all its promises and expectations. KillZone 2 is a game that shows that the First Person Shooter genre still has a lot to offer. So if you're a fan of FPS and you own a PS3, KillZone 2 is a must have.
