Controls are simply not good enough for an FPS.

Engineers suck.Damn you all.

I'm a scout so turrets annoy me when I'm picking a good sniping position

THANK YOU!!!!!

i have the game and ps3 and its NOT that good. not much better than any other FPS and the controls are way worse. it's fun, just not as good as some might think. plus graphically, i almost feel like RE5 looks better, soo....

say what you will, that's my opinion, not biased, just how i see it.

Of course Killzone is a great game!

Something entirely more poignant to observe is the number of articles damage controlling the purported negativity against Killzone2.

I mean... wtf?

If the game is that great, then go and play it.

If the author (and all the other fanboys) can find the time to read all the smallminded hate, and then take even more time to write "damage control on the hate" then maybe they aren't enjoying playing KZ2 as much as they are telling everybody?

I gotta ask... IF you love this great game (and it is a great game) then why are people spending so much time and effort NOT playing it?

Very telling indeed!

people who obviously don't like the game are simply scared, xbots, or just plain suck at the game :P

Kz 2 is best summed up as a pretty decent fps , with shiny graphics and bad controls.

after playing the wheelman demo, i was on first name terms with vinnie. however, after playing the COR demo, I remarked, 'it's no killzone'.

i can only imagine how awesome kz2 would be if it had vinnie instead of rico at your side.

controls are a good challenge. this is not auto-aim resistance retribution on the psp! i frequently get caught up in what I call call-of-duty style attacks, but it's not something you do all time...

you wait for that opportune momment when you know you will not be overrun. if you make it, then awesome.. if you don't, you just say it was COD style. (good excuse)

i played RE5 co-op on the weekend. that is awesome.. the co-op makes it such a fun game. you can't do any run and gun.. so I had no excuse when I died. i could blame the controls, but I'd be deluding myself.

These back and forward blogs of whether or not Killzone 2 is good should be forum posts... on forums... not on a gaming news site.

Engineers ! Shotgun.

Being a hardcore FPS nutt, I have played it and it definitely is way over rated. The weapons selection is basic, the enemy is boring, the boss battles are boring, the story is boring. I thought the whole game was pretty much boring. People complained about Halo 2's ending. Well WTF was the ending of KZ2 about? That was the worst ending I have ever seen. Killzone 2 has zero creativity. And don't get me started with the non responsive control.

I challenge anybody here to tell me why Killzone 2 is so special. I felt like I was playing Call of Duty 3. I'm a fan of Resistance and I easily prefer that ps3 game over this game. Even the multi player is pretty bare bones with very limited game types.

Again, I challenge somebody to tell me what makes this game so special.

***I guess it's easier just to slam on those disagrees than actually take up my challenge. That just proves that you can't prove me wrong.

thing i can say is i would rather play this than resistance 2. But thats not saying much considering i would rather slam my head in a car door than play that with its repeatitive enemies and garbage graphics. KZ2 is cool but nothign mind blowing.

and killzone has way more going on at once then resident evil 5 will ever have so the graphics speak for its self.

Killzone 2 is a mediocre FPS and it certainly is no Halo 3, Gears 2 or COD4.

The only thing this game has are its graphics. The only thing you can go on and on about are its graphics.

I've stated many times before and I'll state it now, graphics is everything that this game is.

Comparing it to other FPS' as an FPS in general, it's a flop.

Killzone 2 has recieved mostly positive feedback. The only negative feedback comes from the fanboys who are in denial.

"Graphics are fake", then it was " AI sucks", and now its "nothing special". LOL

I love Killzone 2. I will be perfectly honest I had very low expectations for this game. I liked games like Fear/Fear2, Resistance2, and HalfLife. But I never really liked Call of Duty or Unreal Tournament and Halo to me is just not fun. But this is the most addictive game I've played since PixelJunk Monsters. For me personally, Killzone 2 is the best FPS (multiplayer) I've ever played. The only thing that could top this is if Bioshock2 was able find a good way to integrate it's amazing gameplay into a worthwhile multiplayer experience...but that may be asking to much.

It's sad that we no longer celebrate good titles. Instead of we nitpick and spit vitriol at everything and anything we can, and the console a game is on is more important than the title itself.

Why does it have to be fanbois? Why does everyone have to kneel down and praise KZ2 as being perfect?

It's not. It's also not being a fanboi to point that out.

If the game is THAT good then it should be able to stand up to a little criticism without everyone getting up in arms trying to drown out it's detractors.

Let the game speak for itself if you believe so strongly in its quality.

but since there are hardcore call of duty fans out there in the world then imagine how it would be with killzone graphics?!?
call of duty is great but killzone 2 is graduating.
Knowing killzone history the story was fantastic.
I never used martydom or last stand in cod but killzone 2 is just as personal & bloodier.
sabotuer is as personal as it gets when he's armed with a shotgun and downs you & you call for a medic & the proximity mic kicks in so that the sabotuer says fck you & blows your head off.

Your head tumbles away in the wind swept sands.

I have never seen a game come under such scrutiny. No game would hold up under the magnifying glass that KZ2 is under. Its a good game, its fun IMO but the again I dont expect a hand shake from God for completing it.

I understand that some fanboys tout it as the best game ever made, but how is that worse than the people that are obsessed with knocking it down a peg. (Leogamer- Im looking at you -new account-10 comments-8 are short novels about how KZ2 is crap).

I mean, unless you have a vested interest with seeing the game fail, how else can it be perceived than sour grapes that it received critical acclaim and people are enjoying it, when you are seemingly staying awake at night obsessed with bringing this game down. Like the article says KZ2 is good, get the f*ck over it.

Now back to KZ2 , hopefully I'll get that handshake tonight.

Everyone is trying to tear this game apart. For whatever their reason is, it needs to stop. KZ2 is a good game, and it's time for all the people who spent the last two years hating on it to simply admit they were wrong and move on.

Im way past this stage, do i like kz2, does it meet my expectations, did the graphics live up to the hype, was the capaign the best out there, did the mp live up to the promise and did kz2 show itself as a beacon of hope for the ps3. Did the hype and years of getting it ready come through???..

It's fun to come here or any forum and do the back and fourth saga with all you guys but what it boils down to is did YOU enjoy the game and thats what I asked myself and came to the conclusion that killzone2 does what cod4 did, it does what gears2 did and it does what halo did.

The rage is fps, the 360 proves that fps is strong, you got hyped and wanted to kz2 to succeed knowing well in advance it was a fps so lets get that over with, is it the best game ever, NO, is it the best lookig, yes and no, is it a seriously solid game that will give GG credit for creating a game that lived up to its hype, well hell yeah.

IT has superb graphics, it has flaws throughout, the mp is fun and solid and has flaws that are knit picked at, there is bugs throughout, the story is lacking etc... but issues have swiftly been patched and will continue to do so and to that i say this.

almost every single game has arrivd with issues, unbalanced mp, lack of story, lack of features, and all needed patches just like halo, gears,cod4, so lay off.

the best class is the assault.

is fooking fantastic.

Just as the game "Black" was last generation.

Killzone sets a new mark for FPS. It may be dark and gritty, but it's so much fun. A real modern day Gem.

Haters, get focked

Nothing worse then when you come in here, say a game like KZ2 is a good game but you have some issues with it, and then a KZ2 fanboy jumps on you saying that what you found wrong is not wrong and that you have no choice but to say the game is the greatest ever. First off, I dont think a FPS can ever be considered best game ever since MOST (with exception like Bio Shock and Half Life) have very poor to super crappy SP stories and voice acting and I am sorry but, a game cant be called best ever just due to the multi-player.

I read something funny on here where someone asked that if KZ2 is so bad then why did it get so many great scores? The problem with that is Halo 3 got even BETTER scores and it still has people who say it sucked.

Bottom line, to the uber-fanboys, get over yourself. No game is the greatest ever ESPECIALLY when it hasn't even been out for a month.

FInally, someone can like a game but still find flaws with it and that doesnt automatically make them a fanboy. SImply put, everything is subjective and please, dont get so butt hurt if someone does not agree with you.

In my opinion, which I don't see why I'm writing this, because it's the truth so I'm going to be ignored.....

Killzone 2 is an amazing game, no doubt, and before ya'll go OH MY GOD PS3 Fanboy!!! Just stfu and read...

To say the least I'm dissapointed in all gamers... Killzone 2 is an amazing game, and deserves recognition, and yes alot of "360 Fanboys" as you people like to call them like to bash the game, because of two reasons:
They don't like the game because it's on the PlayStation, Period.
They don't like the game, because it's not how they like to play

I would say the first one, because all you hear from "360 bots, fanboys, watever" Killzone 1 was sh!t, ect.
But Playstation people (Like myself, I'm not a fanboy, I just had a Playstation before anything else, so I stick with what I know to avoid confusion) don't forget most of you PlayStation "Droids" i think it is, you also do it to Xbox 360 game, so wake up, ok?
Not trying to bash any games here, but i don't like Halo 3, I loved 1-2, but not 3. But does that make it a bad game??? No, it makes it a game that you don't like, so go, return it and get a game you do like.
Gears of War, i like that game, more than the Resistance series, but does that mean GoW is 10000000x better than Resistance? no, our opinions vary, from person to person..

My point I am trying to prove is, well, two things:
Playstation dudes, you do it to, so just ignore it and stop doing it, you hypocritical bastards.
Everyone has different opinions, and it is sad to hear that you so called "Gamers" A.K.A people who choose a console and bash the other console, bash every game on the other system, trying to seem as least biased as posible just to prove a console is better than the other..

You gamers dissapoint me, once again, I'm a gamer... someone who prefers a console, has a computer, and stick with what he's got, not comes onto websites from Live/PSN (Sorry to say it, but you live people are the worst at this..) and bash the other console to death just so you can feel good about your product.

Get a life people.. It's a competition between companys, don't make it more than that, it's quite sad you need to sit infront of your computer and write lines and lines explaining why your console it better...

Play a game for what it's worth, and don't bash another console because the game isn't on the console or you don't get to play another game, and then you might be considered to be a gamer..

Craig.

Now watch all the Disagrees I get!!!

apart from the admitedly superb graphics killzone2 is a generic run of the mill shooter.the famed revolution of a cover system has been done in moh airbourne this gen and fear1.once the initial awe of the graphics wore off i was left with a deep sense of disappointment and anticlimax.although unlike some i did think it nailed the feelings of being in a war zone.it was just the gameplay felt so old,sniper levels,tanks ect..personally wish i could have got it on the 360 as live would have been a massive benefit to the game even with a slight down grade in visuals.

wooah ... i have no input about this article coz i really havent played the game yet... but just wanna point out at the number of disagrees for a pro xbox comments and agrees for a pro ps comment... wow ..lol.. ps3 fanboys outnumber xbots huh.. well all i have to say is this... you should love the GAMES respect the consoles... all of em.. stupid fanboys you're not gamers at all..

Killzone is a average FPS with good graphics. If you say I never played the game look at my trophies.

no dear the best one is the sniper

I can't believe that some of you people call yourselves video game players! Have you forgotten why you play video games in the first place? Give the blind hatred and jealousy act up. Its immature and makes you look ignorant.

I've been playing video games for a good 20 years now, I started on NES and to see a game and experience the atmosphere of Killzone 2 is just incredible.

This game is absolutely a blast. I honestly can't believe that anyone who has REALLY played this game thinks it is bad or mediocre. It has set the bar in just about everything. It took everything great about console FPS games and pumped steriods into it. Call of Duty feels like slow motion now. I go back to play COD and I can't get over how far apart it is from KZ2. COD is and always has been an easy shooter to be good at. Especially with its lame perks system (juggernaut, martyrdom, etc.) COD allows mediocre players to be good. KZ2 online forces you to be good. If you try and camp, you're gonna get smoked and your team will lose. KZ2 online makes you feel desperate to complete objectives and the atmosphere is fast, furious, and chaotic. Like war. The continuosly changing objective during the match is also an excellent innovation to online play. It makes you more balanced as a player. And it does this with the most amazing visuals ever on a console.

The whole game is sensory overload. Graphics, sound, shading, physics, bullet hit recognition, environment destruction, and animation is top notch. The game is beautiful. Why can't people just admit that? I think Fable, though it is a young franchise, is a masterpiece. It really introduced how your choices affect your character and changed your story. Its incredible. I don't understand why Xbox Fanboys can't accept that KZ2 is a benchmark for FPS games to be judged. It really has set the bar.

And as far as it having no good story? The story to Killzone is actually really good if you had played the previous games and KZ2 feels like a hollywood action movie from start to finish. When Visari nukes his own capital city and kill tons of his own citizens just to try and take out the ISA, it is incredible. One of the most amazing and memorable scenes in a video game.

Remember why you play video games in the first place. TO HAVE FUN. Killzone 2 is a blast from start to finish and if this is what the PS3 can do after basically 2 years, imagine what year 4 or 5 will be like. Games like KZ2 also force other game makers to raise their own standards.

And that is a good things for all gamers.

Without reading the article or any of these post's it's called the internet and people that are losers that have nothing better to do than sit around or stay up all night posting on they're blog and nit-picking about every little thing or dumb kids that were born after 1995. You want too complain? I'm 39. Try playing Pac Mac at the arcade then waiting in line at Target too buy it for the Atari, then you bring it home and it looks nothing like the arcade version.

Maybe this site should be called News 4 Complainers instead of gamers.

The losers are the people that keep going on how great KZ2 is. The multiplayer might be great, but the single player is just an average game, very short. I spent three days playing it and could care less about picking it up again. Just to many other good games to play the first time, instead of playing KZ2 again.

the above posters- like i said previously if you take away the graphics what are you left with.AVERAGE GAME at best with identikit enemies no comms online dodgy controls.having loads of players in a game online does not improve games in my opinion(ie res2)games such as shooters are allways best played 8 on 8 max or they just end up a uncoordinated mess.on subject k2 online has no one even trying to complete the rolling objectives just a big deathmatch.and how can you work as a team when the chats such a poor quality or its completely silent.i own both consoles and the ps3 hasnt got a decent enough online service to do most of its shooters any justice,as ive stated wish the game was on 360.SUCH A SHAME AND A WASTE ON PSN

I would say that if you don't like KZ2, you probably don't like FPSs or Sci-fi.

For all of us who do, it's game of the year material when it comes to FPSs...

hasnt done better than halo 3

why are the same articles always on every section ...

That's IT ...It's a good game NOT the best game ever like some people are saying ..simple

As quoted by destructiod, it is the best fps this generation, both in terms of graphics, and gameplay, it's just so much fun!

graphics almost definetly gameplay certainly not.gears2 cod4 even world at war are better in my opinion single and multi.think to many ps3 owners are caught up in the graphics and hype.the phrase i keep coming too is run of the mill or if you want a highly polished turd of a game.

Hi guys, I'm back. I just bought KZ2 yesterday and haven't been able to stop playing. The multiplayer is just insanely fun. I dare every xbox fanboy to honestly say that the MP sucks after they have tried it out. The MP is as addicting as crack, I've been playing it for 10 hrs straight now. Reached to the engineer badge, awesome game.

best game ever!

its ez to say its the best fps this gen ...

lol omg im so sick of all these killzone 2 articles.
I have it its great but this is starting to get really annoying

Killzone 2 a good game is wrong Killzone 2 is a great game it beat my expectations. I put on Cod 4 i feel meh and get bord quickly i put on KIllzone 2 and I enjoy paying it

Missing was Co-op missing was big bosses missing was 20 hours of gameplay .Missing was etc...

Due to the hi fidelity graphics and technology limited Resources, I am about to stop buying games and just rent them..
It is obvious the industry needs maturing..

But I feel kinda stupid for spending 65 on a game that last 10 hours and most of it repetitive gun battles. The only game that did much for me was Gran tourismo and Uncharted..
up till now im not satisfied like i was back in the days of say dreamcast and PS2.
Sad it takes 4 years to make a game!!!people get married move ,die ,end up with other priorities!!!
Rent until we get more substance,,
Thats Why there should be only 2 consoles or one for that matter!!!

Great Game, Great System !!!

The scrutinity this game is under is something never seen before in any console game.

Game is out for almost a month and haters are still actively searching or comming up with flaws.

I guess these haters lack AAA games to play.

Get real.

this was the main reason for me getting a ps3 last summer but after playing it fully i feel like it did disappoint me a little bit. MGS4 was just a greater experience imo.

KZ is the best shooter i have ever played... even better than my beloved COD4. The MP is so good.... it's chaotic yet fun. The AI is so smart is not like other games were they do more damage, they actually feel like other people is shooting at you. and let's not forget the cliffhanging ending.... KZ3 is coming.

Who fails to see that KZ2 is a great game just fails @ life or even worst is an xbox owner

pointless article is pointless.

WHY are sony fanboy blogs being posted as news?

Im getting sick of this nonscence, I was hyped for this game, and in the end am I satisfied? HELL YEAH, this game is frggn awesome. Stop the hating, I mean cmon.. Its getting ridiculous, there was never so much hating when it still was ps2 vs gamecube vs Xbox!!
Fanboys I HATE YOU ALL

Let it bee. Let it be...

anyway lol, IMO KZ2 is the best shooter this gen. i played the demo and it was awesome, played it so much i lost count lol. also played a part of singleplayer(full version) somewhere else but i forgot xD

saving up for full game, got €60...€10 more to go...can't wait...3 exams next week, damn them :(

i would like to ask why so many people are so intent on defending what is, afterall, a very average FPS.
"Killzone 2 a vey average game,let it go!" But I know you won't :)

i like it so much and if anybody disagrees with my opinion then u a r probably wrong or even worst... an xbox person.

saw some pipes..saw the shadows of the pipes...with nothing actually there to produce shadows. sure the pipes cast the shadows but there is no light source anywhere on the map. how are those shadows being cast?

the game is not good and if you people raised your standards, you would realize this. a game that cost this much to make and took this much time to produce should not have any corners cut. Uncharted is still the best looking game on ps3. kz2 is pathetic.

Oh wow...it's just a game guys seriously. And I'm pretty sure that most people that say Killzone sucks doesn't even own a PS3.

I've realized that the comments section on N4G is just a big PS3 circle jerk.

Click agree. THX!

I like killzone 2 but not once did i feel like (omg this game is the sh!t.) The graphics are what I expect for 2009. I still think RE 5 looks a little better. Killzone is good but I doubt 5 years from now I will be reminiscing about how ill the game was.

KZ2 it's so cool barak obama plays it. How is it that i know?? because he joined my clan saturday. He was on the receiving end of a few head shots in Radek academy over the weekend though, because of the controls.

He's even going to pass a bill to outlaw the use of rocket lunchers in small maps and it's going to give everybody in america the Air support ribbons for free(how about that ,huh?).

If any body wants to join my clan it's called RRoDs

this Halo and Gears of War looks wash out and Kz2 does not come close to Mr. James Bond.. The N64 is the true next Gen console... You just got OWN!!!!

When you rank up not only you can unlock weapons and you can pick med/sniper/engineer. It seems very fair.

the N64 is the system to have, It own with a pation

Wow every comment either pro PS3 or anti xbox, no matter how fanboyistic (word?) receives nearly 5-1 agrees to disagrees. Whereas any comment complimenting the 360 or dare anti-PS3 is overwhelmingly disagreed.

stupid n4g is nearly a waste of time

TIP: For real news read the articles that are very low on heat, those typically have real news in them. Not fanboy blogs posted as news

I like n4g, hate most of the members. Is there a gaming news site with educated, rational, unbiased members? Cuz that'd be b!tchin

frackin retarded article. everyone that has played the game knows it kicks ass. everyone that hasnt is just a poor little whiney beyatch!

and an auto aim glitch for the ages. Please Guerilla this is not something you want to be stubborn on. More and more people are becoming aware of the auto aim debacle and more and more it is seriously breaking the game. It needs to be fixed.

Auto aim debacle? There is no auto aim. Nuff' said, I try to avoid responding to haters.

BTW every body the controls take getting used to, but after an hour you won't notice.

I have played all the Halos........and they do not compare in terms of intensity...graphics.....and pure fun....

OK..People this is what you have to consider.....NO LAG....it may sound stupid..it may sound repetitive..it may sound cliche...

But if you ever had a chance to play something online with so much chaos going on.....with 32 player and NO LAG..that is priceless..

edit:@PSGamingInc - there is no auto AIM...what r u talking about...?

There are things wrong with every game ever played. KillZone used to make me mad as heck when i played online and still does but i love it..you cannot compare it to another game, its evolution. The action is a work of art.I admit alot of things happen that are annoying like continuously killing an enemy at the same time he turns around and headshots kills you, but one thing you cannot complain about is the spawns which is one of my big griefs with any multiplayer game including spawn killing halo. Which by the way was the let down of the year, and i will still admit the game rocked early on when thats all there was, but HELLO in comes COD4 and it was all over.Halo had a good party, system level system, but button glitches, super jumps, and spawn kills ruined it. But you can see where i am coming from when i say there are faults in any game, and you can't compare any of them to each other cause they are all different unless a sequel(upgrade). I agree i think people are scared that people will all get KillZone 2 and leave them all behind in the dust with there Halo 3 game and helmet.

Stupid blog article that isnt news somehow gets posted as news

GG N4g is terrible now

I like to have to final comment on one of the best stories I ever submitted.

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive
