Jeuxvideo: Killzone 2 Review

Jeuxvideo: General Note 17 / 20

Killzone 2 gameplay combines it is difficult to fault a stunning achievement and binding beyond dispute as one of the best titles of the PS3, and perhaps its best FPS. Taking, fascinating, immersive, torturing, raping, he manages to make us forget its absolute classic mixing skill with all the elements that constitute it, reaching a form of perfection.

The note, however, that does not mean much in terms of feelings that gives us adventure, punishes content a little faiblard when compared to competition. Remains an exceptionally durable marking PS3 owners, and establishes the passage of quality standards that will be difficult to forget in the future.

this is the first official review the score below 9

Samer3056330d ago

funny how I have never heard of this site.

Ghoul6330d ago (Edited 6330d ago )

Scenario 14 / 20

The scenario is not the strong point of Killzone 2 but you're still a solid adventure in a hostile world. The fans of the series will have the same right of some sequences that are likely to capsize their entrails.

LMAO KZ2's scenario is one of the best ive ever seen PERIOD!

Blaze9296330d ago (Edited 6330d ago )

You know damn well you heard of the site. Dont go starting that "unknown publication" bs just becuase they didnt give it the score you wanted. Jeuxvideo is a very well known site but watch people start rolling in the "biased" and "failure of a site" comments. At the end of the day its just a personal opinion. Still gonna buy the game day 1 right? I thought so

"funny how I have never heard of this site."

Funny how I have never heard of this user.

Giriath6330d ago

I find it ironic that the first official review to rate it lower than 9 (and wrongly so!) are also among the few to have new images of it that aren't two years old.

Samer3056330d ago (Edited 6330d ago )

to Lelouch V Brit.

I don't live on this site I have a life.

to Fox01.

Ya 8.5 is a great score if it were halo 3...

gambare6330d ago

I love this kind of sites:

"Hey! that game is getting huge reviews, let's score it lower to have some hits"

Jinxstar6330d ago

I swear if this game for any reason has a score less then halo 3 I will really feel let down by the gaming media.

GameGambits6330d ago

I think the way IGN reviewed this game is the best mindset ever going into reviewing a game.

Review it for what it is and stop comparing it to other games. That doesn't tell people how the game is, it means you just want it to be something it isn't and didn't say it was going to be.

IGN also said that the hype around games is unfair, because when the hype hits into astronomical levels people think it's the second coming of pixel jesus, which it isn't, then the game gets rated lower to not live up to that hype.

Ignore the hype and ignore reviewing the game for what it isn't, and your review will be looked at as if it were well thought out and fair.

SeanScythe6330d ago

I say they are being very bised and trying to cover it up. They nitpicked way to many things.
Then comparing the graphics to GeoW2 WTH is up with that? The lifetime of the game is very low for a game that I have played and I enjoyed far more the COD4.

Graphics
19 / 20
The beauty of the game is perhaps not as bright and flashy than a molosse as Gears of War 2, but it is certainly more visceral and ultimately more successful.

Playability
17 / 20

Lifetime
16 / 20
As often, it is not obvious to note that criterion. Everything depends on your approach. Overcoming the 10 missions of the campaign will take no more than 8 hours, but if you plan to indulge in the joys of multiplayer, you can easily spend nights and nights on Killzone 2. However, when compared to the soft competition, it seems perhaps a little less generous in terms of content. Coop without and with only 8 maps to the meter, the game takes the road less than Resistance 2.

Soundtrack
17 / 20

Tbh Mesh I wish you would shut up!

Every article i've seen you in saying:

"tbh this game sucks and gears and halo beats it!"

If you don't have anything positive to contribute shut up and only post in 360 articles!

Edit: Oh and your grammar sucks balls.

ZombieNinjaPanda6330d ago

General Chase:

Irony? At least I don't say Tbh every 5 seconds and misspell every other word.

I type this way so my writing is easier to read, there is no irony there.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro584d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken584d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown584d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72584d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken584d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya583d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast584d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood584d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX813d ago (Edited 813d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro813d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72813d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_813d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga813d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos813d ago (Edited 813d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23813d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000813d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin813d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole813d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix813d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989813d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor813d ago (Edited 813d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989813d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1117d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1117d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1117d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491117d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381117d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1117d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1117d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381117d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1117d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761117d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1117d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301117d ago (Edited 1117d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1117d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1117d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1117d ago (Edited 1117d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1117d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1117d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
