Gameover - Killzone 2 Review

The Portuguese website Gameover just published its review of Killzone 2, with an outstanding 95 out of 100 as a result.

"Conclusion, even without co-op, Killzone 2 is a FPS of high quality, which is accompanied by pictures of a breath-taking. Definitely, the Guerrilla grabbed in its franchise, which began as a 128-bit shooter absolutely median, and gave him a second chapter that is immediately the status of mandatory. Very, very good!"

metacritic score of 94 ranks it right up there with the 2 great xbox360 games Halo 3 and Gears of War. The developers should be proud and the ps3 gamers should rejoice.

eagle216311d ago

Correction: Killzone 2 is in another league graphically and joining award winning PS3 games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet in the top. :P

We are VERY proud. :)

RoyBoys6311d ago

Can you play offline multiplayer with bots splitscreen?????

RoyBoys6311d ago

cool thanks so much! That is AMAZING!

CaliGamer6311d ago

I never heard of split screen bots offline. That is news to me. I have been following this game religiously for a while and can't remember seeing that.

Snyph3r6311d ago

You can play offline with bots but it is not splitscreen, just like you're playing online but with bots...

DA_SHREDDER6311d ago

You can play splitscreen offline, or online with a couple of friends with bots. And you can also get Xp for private matches.

Rythrine6311d ago

Alex said yes, then Snypher said no, but then Shredder said yes again?
Can somebody clarify? Maybe links or past interviews that I must've missed.

retrofly6311d ago

I'm pretty sure there is no splitscreen support, I think with the grpahics so high the PS3 just couldn't cope with split-screen.

Its all about balance, do you want better graphics or split-screen.

KZ2 made the right choice :)

MAR-TYR-DOM6311d ago

I am 100% sure there is no split screen. The dev in "ask the dev" boards on playstations forums said their is NO splitscreen of any sort. They decided to focus more on Multiplayer and Single player cause split screen would require twice the rendering etc...

Snyph3r6309d ago

Offline bots...yes but no splitscreen...

everyone needs to stop this co-op madness cuz the game is h3lla perfect with out it just like cod4,crisis were.. if they are gunna pull that sh!t then why not bring down bioshock for no multiplayer or even co-op or even fallout 3 and so on..??

idiots:
regardless its a good score ,not well DESERVED,but none da less good.

Sitdown6311d ago

continue to use Bioshock for the lack of co-op reference............clearly you see the difference between the two. Bio-shock does not necessarily give way for co-op...but Killzone 2 would be the perfect candidate for it....so please kill that argument.

Anyhow..I do think that KZ 2 should be judged on what it does....not what reviewers fantasize about.

chidori6666311d ago

LOL! game over for all fps all there....

Spike476311d ago

none other than the sad and pathetic media.

Foxgod6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

Dont forget the sad fanboys who cant deal with reality, and wish to alter it to their own perception.

On topic tho, KZ scores great, it scores just as high as the blockbusters Halo and GeoW, thats something very impressive.

So stop being a prick and accept it, 9.4 (metacritic) is near perfect, and perfect doesnt exist.

GiantEnemyCrab6311d ago

AH, I will have to remember that. Everytime I see a score of 8/10 it is biased but 9's and above are real.

The fact is when I see a game like this scoring excellent the excuses of media bias go straight down the toilet. If there was this big media bias/conspiracy this game would not be scoring like it is.

The bias excuse dies with this game.

Sarcasm6311d ago

Two 360 fanboys in a row on the same post. Where you guys been hiding? Foxgod and Giant.

Out of the woodwork now that 8/10's reviews are spawning?

BLuKhaos6311d ago

Well not all 8/10 reviews have to be biased,just the ones like TVG's where they bring down the score for rediculous reasons yet score other games with the same features or problems higher.

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

OtterX569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne569d ago (Edited 569d 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-ro569d ago

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

just_looken569d 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

MDTunkown569d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72569d 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_looken569d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya568d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast569d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood569d 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.

OtterX798d ago (Edited 798d 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-ro798d ago

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

darthv72798d 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_798d ago

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

Cacabunga798d ago

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

Profchaos798d ago (Edited 798d 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

seanpitt23798d 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!

Iceball2000798d ago

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

Father__Merrin798d ago

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

InUrFoxHole798d ago

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

Marcus Fenix798d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989798d ago

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

1Victor798d ago (Edited 798d 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 😱

798d ago
Michiel1989798d 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.

1Victor1102d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1102d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381102d 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 Kim1102d ago

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

VersusDMC1102d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

REDGUM1102d ago

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

thesoftware7301102d ago (Edited 1102d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1102d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d ago

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