PS3-Sense: Killzone 2 Review

PS3 Sense writes: "Killzone 2 is certainly a shooter that a lot of media attention has been given in recent years. It all started with the trailer that was shown at E3 2005. This trailer was a piece of the first level in the game to see. The infamous trailer is still burned on the retina of many gamers, and everyone wondered if Killzone 2 is actually like this would come to see. Let us answer this question directly but, yes it is possible to Guerilla Killzone 2 is even better showing than the trailer that you received when presented. But with just beautiful graphics you save it as shooter, the gameplay elements are very important, even for a gamer on graphics geilt. Killzone 2 in terms of gameplay or even just a historical shooter will be like Call of Duty and Counter Strike, which you can read this review. "

Dang, I gotta get my things straight, so I can play KZ2 at least for a week without having to run for groceries and sitting on computer paying bills.

Timberland2K96296d ago

I think im gonna quit gaming for a week so i can have a full 48 hours straight of Killzone 2 Single player and multi

Timberland2K96296d ago

I smell victory for my favorite platform.

Str8laced6296d ago

Does it smell anything like MGS4 or LBP or maybe RES2 or how about MotorstormPR. That was suppose to be the next thing to christ.

XtreemGamer6296d ago

The story isn't short... I've played the full game,and on hard difficulty the gameplay is 8-8,5 hours.

jammy_706296d ago

is it better than cod 4 campaign?

man u lucky!

XtreemGamer6296d ago (Edited 6296d ago )

I've played the multiplayer(beta) and the single player campaign(final build),and i must say it is awesome. Of course i played the SP on hard difficulty,because i want to know how much long is the game,when it's really challenging. And yeah,it didn't disappoint.. I'm not going to compare KZ2 with CoD4,because both game are great. I've played the final game with a reviewer group. I didn't say that the game's single-player part is a 10/10,it's not. If i should review the single-player part,i would give a 9.3/10. But the multiplayer is the game's strongest point,and that is where it's becoming a 10/10..

In a few words.. if you liked CoD4,then you will like KZ2 alot! The only thing is this game is less arcade style. Everything have weight,and you must get into that feeling. After a 15-20 min gameplay the controls are very good and realistic.

INehalemEXI6296d ago

Was having fun today playing through the demo with just a knife aside from the bazooka blowing up bridge part.

SAiOSiN6295d ago

just throw a grenade at it...it works. or pistol. lol i love the demoso much,u can beat it in so many ways.

BMS846296d ago

I can't wait to play the multiplayer, i think it's gonna be very addictive;)

Tarasque6296d ago

And the worst controls of any FPS on the PS3 so far as well.

TresTrendu6296d ago

Tru dat, Tru dat......

Solidsnakex236296d ago (Edited 6296d ago )

just because you don't crouch with the "o" button? Alt 2 config is almost like Call of Duty 4. Did you play Killzone 2 yet?

Edit: What is wrong with the control? just asking. I really don't consider myself as a fanboy since I will protect both my investments I own. I haven't gotten a Wii since it is still hard to find.

Str8laced6296d ago

For some reason sony fanboys have a hard time reading. He said controls not button config. I have played with alt 2 and and adjusted my sens and it doesn't help how it controls.

LazyDevs6296d ago

Man that is some funny sh1t, i don't consider myself a fanboy. I will name myself hmmm let me see halo no, how about gears no, Solidsnake that's it.

Graphics Whore6296d ago

Tarasque, learn to play. The controls are fine, maybe you just aren't good? lol.

Solidsnakex236295d ago (Edited 6295d ago )

Like I said, I do not need to talk good about this game. Everyone else is. I see your bend over buddy is trying to save you here. Also Solidsnake is just a name I picked cause the name I wanted on the 360 is already used. My PSN name is actually Strikerx23 the same one that I wanted on the 360... hmmm I think you got it all wrong again because Solidsnake was on lets see..... Gamecube... check.... playstation... check.... Xbox.... CHECK. I see you fail my friend

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

OtterX568d ago (Edited 568d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne568d ago (Edited 568d 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-ro568d ago

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

just_looken567d 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

MDTunkown568d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72568d 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_looken567d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya567d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast568d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood568d 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.

OtterX797d ago (Edited 797d 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-ro797d ago

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

darthv72797d 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_797d ago

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

Cacabunga797d ago

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

Profchaos797d ago (Edited 797d 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

seanpitt23796d 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!

Iceball2000797d ago

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

Father__Merrin797d ago

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

InUrFoxHole797d ago

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

Marcus Fenix797d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989797d ago

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

1Victor797d ago (Edited 797d 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 😱

797d ago
Michiel1989797d 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.

1Victor1101d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1101d ago

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

jznrpg1101d ago

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

badz1491100d 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!

Vengeance11381101d 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 Kim1101d ago

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

VersusDMC1101d 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?

Vengeance11381101d ago

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

solideagle1101d 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.

Phoenix761101d 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

REDGUM1100d ago

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

thesoftware7301101d ago (Edited 1101d 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.

blacktiger1100d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1101d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1101d ago

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

Imalwaysright1101d ago

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