Hey everybody, just so you know, im a halo fan. I used to think that halo and halo 2 has the best graphics, but then I saw killzone. At first I thought it was a halo (...)and it would really suck. But then I played the demo, whatched some gameplay and cinematic footage and looked at some pics. That game is nothing like halo. I have to sadfully admit that this game is better than halo. IT has better, more realistic graphics, sound, the gameplay is awesome, there is a really cool wide variety of realistic weapons. AND IT DOSNT GET BORING!

This game is just about the Halo of the PS2 s if you like Halo you will love this game. If you have never played Halo and don't have an xbox, pick up a copy of killzone. Personaly this is the best PS2 game I have ever played.

A must buy game

First of all, people need to stop making this game out to be a halo killer. The 2 games are different. Killzone is more realistic than halo. The sounds, enviroment, and control. There are some graphic bugs and some slowdown, but that's because the game pushed the PS2 to the limit.Some people didn't like the game because of the weapon accuracy. The weapons control and accuracy is realistic, because in real life you can't hit the same point over and over again with a machine gun and this is coming from a military guy. The enemy in this game is smart. the hide, regroup and use military tactics on you. If you are a PS2 owner and a FPS fan this game is a must buy.

Fun, but has some issues

I had high expecatations for this game and was really looking forward to it. I heard very mixed reviews on it at first so I decided on renting it. After beating the game and putting in 5 hours on multiplayer my conclusion is it was disappointing and a few more months of working the tweaks out could of really helped.

PROS
-Awesome movie scenes
-Impressive sound
-Cool looking enemies
-Secondary fire on weapons is nice
-Levels look fantastic
-Enemies are relatively smart, they go for cover and wait for you to stop shooting to come out and they will run from grenades
-Very realistic overall with sprinting and reloading time/animation

CONS
-Some missions can be a little confusing and you have no objectives map
-Way to many shots to kill, even with headshots it takes several
-4 playable characters is cool with their own unique weapons, but it doesn't really matter because you run out of ammo for their weapons and there is little ammo for them in the level so you have to end up using helghast weapons instead 90% of the time
-Multiplayer is just a big run and gun and all you end up using is rocket launchers/explosives to kill people which leads to lots of camping which is a problem
-In deathmatch people will spawn right behind you, which will drive you crazy
-Overall lack of variety in weapons
-Enemies have the same accuracy whether they are in your face or all the way across the screen
-Can't drive vehicles
-Overall graphics are good, but frame rates can get choppy and sometimes the enemies just disappear
-Little variety in enemies you fight

RENT IT FIRST!!!RENT IT FIRST!!![...]

Awsome!

I bought a PS2 a while back, after tiring of it setting on the shelf collecting dust I decided to make a trip down to the local PX to pick up a decent PS2 game. I usually play the GameCube for great games, and XBOX for decent games that don't come out on GC (not too many).

So I picked up Killzone for PS2...

The rest is history, this game is stellar, it's everything people tried to say Halo was, but of course wasn't. Later I even bought a CAT5 cable and hooked my PS2 to my Router to play online. The online play is off-the-hook!

Highly recommended game, and inexpensive to boot.

This game is great, but then again, I don't play over the internet. Two player mode sucks, but as far as single player campaigns go, I think this is one of the best ps2 shooter games. The bad guys definately make the game, and the story isn't completely horrible. I spent $15 for it, and it was worth every penny.

its worth the thrill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is probally the best fp shooter i've played i don't know about you but i think it is only on the ps2 though i don't think this is a halo killer but really when number 2 comes out i know it will bye then!!! only thing that sucks is that theres no jumping!!!!!! and the sniper is hard to shoot when its moving soo much but overall its fun the multiplayer is wicked!!!

graphics 10/10
sound 8.3/10
gameplay 9.5/10

overall 9.3 its fun as hell, the graphic are wicked and the gameplay but the sound is alittle off!!!!

pretty good

ill be honest with you, when i saw this game on the shelves i immediatley wanted to buy it. i had never heard anything about it,but the soldier on the cover looked really cool and i assumed you would play as him. however i was dissapointed because it turned out that was the model for the bad guys. but that was the only really big dissapointment for me.
This game has the best graphics ive seen on a ps2 rivaling final fantasy. also the levels, which are dark and gray with dust in the air, really bring a feel of planetary blitzkrieg. The characters all look cool and have plenty of polygons. the problem were the textures which were really bland and weird. one complaint i had about the engine was the ragdoll physics. when you shoot someone theyre supposed to recoil into the direction they got shot, instead the ragdoll physics are a bit messed up and the bad guys will just jerk into some random direction. but that isnt the worst part, the worst part is that once the bad guy has been shot and is done jerking and dead it will freeze into some pose, even if its against a wall, and stay there, and it ruins the immersion that the level design helps create. its a small but noticable problem and should have been dealt with in beta testing.
the enemy AI is interesting. what ive noticed is that it will immediatly take cover, and continously move out of your line of sight like a real soldier would. And it also works as a team with its squad, moving and taking cover. But thats it. it will take cover, and move forward and shoot. it wont try to flank you, or throw a grenade at you to get you out of your hiding spot or try to set a trap. so in the end, the AI is ok, but it is still sufficient to be a threat, and it's still fun to play against.
the story in this game reminds me a lot of world war two. in this game the helghast (the bad guys) had just lost a war against earth and were left to ruins. they were poor and needed a strong leader. and a leader did emerge, and secretley built a strong army and is now launching a blitzkrieg against a planet. so its very world war two themed.
after about 1 hour into the game, you will get the first of three new characters that you can choose to play as. when you get them all you can select to play as templar, the leader that doesnt pick sides, luger the sexy female assasin who once dated templar, rico the machine gun carrying tough guy, and helgar a half helghast half human guy that can pass off as a helghast soldier. all very cliche characters. it doesnt really matter who you are because they all pretty much follow the same path, there really wouldnt have been a difference if you only could play as templar. but its nice to see the people put an extra effort and allow you to play as other people.
the coolest aspect in the game for me and for many people is probably the camera. whenever you run, the camera wobbles to side as it should. when ever you reload the camera moves as your head would to look at what your doing, whenever you do anything really, the camera will also move in respect to whats happening. it gives a feeling that you really are there and that helps with the immersion the game creates so well.
the way i feel about this game is that it is like halo. a linear game with challenging ai, good graphics (for a ps2), and a great atmosphere. but the problem with it was that it didnt go beyond what was expected, so this game is great for fps fans, especially ones who want squad based battles since there are so few games like it. i would recommend this game to people whom have ps2s and want a good fps, i would also recommend this game for people who want to explore the fps genre as this is a good example of a classic first person shooter.

A Nearly Perfect FPS

I just recently purchased one of the the new designed ps2's and i couldn't make up my mind on a great game, i looked at this game having already played it and thought to my self how much fun it would be to storm the beachhead multiplayer level like a futuristis D-Day or maybe raid the southern hills against ugly Helghast grunts. This game indeed has it all, it makes you feel like your in an actuall warzone. With the reload action, gritty color on the screen and the kicks from the guns and grenade throws !, this game can be VERY addictive. And just think of how fun the online play will be, who's side will you be on ? the vengeful Helghast or the human ISA ? i have to register my ps2, buy a mem. card, and maybe a voice headset and i'm ready. And i garuntee i will not be able to put my controller down. Oh and i can't spend all of my time comparing this game to Halo because they are two diff. games, Halo is more futuristic vehicle oriented game while in Killzone you feel like your in the actual warzone. The games can size up to eachother in a way. This is an awesome FPS and i reccomend this to any hardcore PS2 fan!!!!!

this games almost as good as cs!!!

Omg i cant belive those people in those professional sites that say this games is not a halo killer cuz it is!!! Halo is one of those shooters where you shoot aliens to death and ... yeah but killzone has a good story line, graphics that are almost as computer quality and ther realism is so real its like really being in the war. The thing that makes this game so good is it's gameplay. who cares if it has framerate issues sometimes and who cares if it has some bad graphics (some times...). I'd rather have a game with realism and gameplay rather than a game that the people at game spot and some other places said was good. God! would everyone just jump off a cliff just cuz some professionals did?
ok anyway heres a list of pros and cons
pros:
*great graphics (especially up close)
*REALISM!!! this game is so real!!! there are too many games where you get shot a billion times and you dont die and there are WAY too many games where the ai just stands in the open for you to kill them. not with kill zone the helghast run awayand take cover if you kill a few of their squad and when you least expect it, they come out of cover and start shooting you.
*sound: this actually goes with the realism cuz the game has so many ambient noises that youd probably hear in real war
*Gameplay: I got the game demo and i heard it was really um... not that good but i had a blast with it!!! I got like addicted to it and played it with luger(the splinter cell like dood) rico(the walkin tank) and templar (the leadin captain guy). ive also played the multiplayer deathmatch and it is SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun I personally like the just shootem all and run and gun kind of games and even though killzone is more tactical, the deathmatch almost came close to the action in Unreal tournament 2004 (which is just a crazy game).
Cons
*nothing!!! (except a few graphical issues and framerate problems)
my conclusion is... KILLZONE ROCKS!!! THROW AWAY THAT BELOVED HALO GAME AND GET KILLZONE!!!!
