the controls aren't bad. And KZ2 feels way more realistic than other FPSs. I mean, in most of the first person games you look at the ground and start spinning the camera. It feels like you're controlling a ghost or something lol . I'm glad that doesn't happen in KZ2.

I love this game, and since its one of the few games that work on my dial-up speed internet I love it. Although am I the only one who niticed that any character you control is shorter than everyone else?

@ sykodorito I have Resistance 2, and I liked its campaign a lot more than I liked KZ2. It's controls were actually solid too. I'll be honest, having so many people online in just one game is just not as fun or tactical. When there are 30-60 people on one map, you just end up with a bunch of campers and snipers. The weapon variety on KZ2 is really lacking too.

@ Blaze_Hrimfaxi KZ2 is hardly a reason to shell out $400 for a PS3. I should know, I did exactly that. I completely regret it too. At least I have a bluray player in my room.

The reason why no one liked the controls is because people weren't used to playing with them. That is why you play the game people! You play it and get used to the controls, like any other game. People these days...

y r u guys complaining...u can just change controls urselves in options if u so like....the only thing i ever found wrong wit kz2 is it felt sort of "stiff"(i dunno how to put it) while running around....and the aiming and accuracy is kinda off.....one spawn area is kinda wack as well ....ii think it would b much better offf just spawning near ur alive members(like COD sorry)...it would need less use of tacticians...but i like all the other classes

I just wish that I could play the campaign with the "fixed" controls. Why did the firmware update only fix the online controls?

Watch the video and wait till they show the 2nd video of gameplay where the character is sprinting and comes up on a Hig. He wastes like half a clip onl the wall . . . . . I just found that amusing.

@ahpuck ...ya your games page is full of only (yes ONLY) 360 a origanal xbox games. as for "far superior" I dont think Killzone 2 is far superior to anything out there. I just think it seemed decent (seemed because I only played the demo) however, control wise, people bashing it because of realism just isnt fair. also, before you say I claimed otherwise, I own a PS3, and PS2 only.

i have to say untill yesterday i was a hardcore xbox gamer, i just bought a ps3, and traded in my 360, and i have to say, killzone 2 is amazing, in fact all of the first party titles are, much better than the mediocre crap microsoft dishes out, overhypes, and misleads people in to buying bad games. halo wars was awful. im so glad i made the switch!

Takes a bit to get used to, especially if you played a lot of COD 4. But once you get the hang of it, man this is a sweet game!

narutofan- you're wrong. The fact that I can snipe someone with a mp40 in COD5 shows its not tactical. In Killzone 2 the tactics lie in the class system and how you mix and create your own personal classes. There are games in KZ2 where my team will be getting owned by the other team because they have completely surrounded our base. When this happens I switch to a tactician, sneak out of the base and set up different spawn points around the map. That totally changes the game from us in a position where we were getting owned to being back on a fair playing field, just from me using a different class. THAT is tactical.

I have to believe this game is revolutionary simply because of this. I can't go back to the other FPS games I loved. I just can't. This game blows them away and I can only move forward from here hoping this game raised the bar for every future FPS..
