Whether your a fan of first person shooters or not, there is something here for evryone to love.
For starters, Killzone 2 continues the story from its previous PS2 platformed game based on the same title "Killzone". I would rather not give away any major plots or key information on any of the characters or the story, but if your looking for a game with a nice lengthy story that will captivate you. Then you shouldnt expecting an oscar winning performance here. Its decent, its simply what you would expect from the next first person shooter.
With that being said what Killzone 2 lacks, it simply makes up for in the gameplay and excellent voice acting talents.
Killzone 2's gameplay is one that may be shrugged at and may be regarded as something thats been seen before in say the Call of Duty series, or say in Halo. Well your wrong. Killzone 2 has an interesting take on the controls and style of gameplay. Although it seems pretty straight forward, as a simple shoot em' up style/ duck and cover style of gameplay it offers a new "fresh" feel that'll make gamers want more. It has such unique things like realistic senses, an example would be say when you move around while your aiming your weapon, it seems kind of slow and as if you are weighted down. You are correct! it is your armor in fact that is weighing you down, just like your enemies, so dont feel like your at a disadvantage here. You'll get used to it. Another thing is the use of the SIXAXIS motion sensing controls. An example of this is when you use your sniper, it just moves so fluently to zoom in and out, move left and right. it just works.
Two more things that cannot be left out are the Online capabilites and the graphics. to sum it up, A. Online is amazing, and its free! and B. You'll have to witness the pure beauty and awe of the game.
In a nut shell, Killzone 2 is an innovative first person shooter that certainly gives you more bang for your buck. Simply, if you own a Playstation 3, or are considering one, check out Killzone 2, for rental or for purchase. See for yourself what it has to offer.
