I rented this game some time ago because of all the hype. I thought the action and the graphics where good(I'm not one of these cry babies that is never satisfied with graphics being not good enough). However, I made it through the game somewhat quickly. The
game could have been a little more challenging. Nevertheless, it was entertaining for the least. Kind of like futuristic nazis. Maybe a sequel would be better.
Halo Killer it most certainly ISN'T

Although Killzone is a very entertaining game, it can never live up to the perfection that is HALO. Killzone is it's own game and it deserves a better fate, then to be compared to an instant classic from the X Box. The story behind Killzine is engaging; the levels get progressively harder which I find refreshing and challenging; and the action is superbly realistic. There are however a few snafus that ultimately detract from my rating. Walls will jump out of nowhere, the AI leaves something to be desired. For the most part the actions are fine. My problem comes from the repetitious phrases the Helghast spout. In HALO and HALO 2 your enemies and brothers in arms both have hundreds of different lines of dialogue, which not only add to the stories richness, but make you laugh your a** off. Another thing that bothers me is the inablity to jump or navigate certain terrain. In the swamp level I got stuck behind a tree stump and I have to restart the entire level. I was pi**ed.
Overall Killzone is a decent FPS. The length of the game makes it worth purchasing, as there are around 11 levels, which each level containing 3-4 sub- missions. With an engaging backstory and a compliment of 4 well rounded characters, Killzone would make any PS2 owner a happy one.
When one war ends, another begins.

With humans colonizing the galaxy, it was only a matter of time before they ostracized some of them to a forsaken planet where, like kahn in Star Trek, the Helghan brewed their hate and now... they've launched a campaign on Vekta, the human's other colonized planet. Loosing the war, they regrouped and rebred their hatred of the humans. And ten years later, they've launched another campaign on a war riddled Vekta.
The story is intriguing enough to keep you locked into game play for a good 3 hours or so. The sounds are amazingly unique for a futuristic war game. No more of those pesky ray guns, now they stay with the modern conventional weapons [bullets] just with a little extra flare.
Warning: This game contains pervasive language [on the campaign levels, not the battlefields] and some blood. Handle with care.
The multiplayer side to this game is so fun, ive had this game a month and im still playing it with my buddies. The controls take a little getting used to, but for those of you who enjoy a challenge, this game is great.
The graphics aren't the highlight of this game, but are very nice in the cut scenes, the battlegrounds however can be a bit "jerky" at times. Some people may not like that it's realistic guns do not exactly shoot through the crosshairs, they just shoot in that direction. you can unload 100 rounds and hit the other guy twice.
For 20 bucks, this game is excellent, I don't think i would pay anything more than 25 though, because while everything is nice about this game, and the storyline is very nice and all, this game is short. Not extremely short and not short enough that i'm mad, but it is... short.
If you're looking for a good first person shooter, this game is it. But don't expect it to be a halo or 007. This game has a feel all to its own.
Truly unique. If it was longer it would be a really, really great game, but i give it three stars anyway.
Bad game warning!

I own this game and it no way a "Halo Killer", it is not a "Metal of Honor Killer". it is not a "Red Faction Killer" it is not a "James Bond Killer" it is a an "enjoyment Killer". This is not even in the top ten FPS that have come out period. I think we all had high hopes but it is total disapointment. The game is slow, as in the frame rate is bad. The game is linear and short, the online sucks tons of lag, there really is no story and most of all you feel like you are struggling with the aim and controls. Rent this before you buy, don't be a complete fool like me. Thanks Sony.
VERY GOOD GAME...STOP WITH THE HALO KILLING!!

I'M TIRED OF HEARING THAT THIS IS NOT A HALO KILLER. APART FROM BEING BOTH FPS's, THERE LITTLE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE TWO...IN TERMS OF LOOKS AND GAMEPLAY. KILLZONE IS GRITTY & REALISTIC IN GRAPHICS,SOUND AND WEAPONRY (THERE ARE NO LASERS HERE.) CONTROLS ARE SPOT ON, ENEMIES ARE TOUGH AND MAKE USE OF COVER AND SUPRESSIVE FIRE TO MAKE YOU THINK B/4 RUNNING AND GUNNING, AND RELOAD TIME IS ADEQUATE (3-4 SECS).HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL TAKE U TO CHANGE MAGS FOR AN M60 IN REAL LIFE?...UPWARDS OF 10 SECS. THE FOCUS HERE IS REALISM, PEOPLE. I AGREE, THERE COULD BE MORE GAMEPLAY OPTIONS SUCH AS VEHICLES, CO-OP MODE AND MAYBE EVEN AIRCRAFT FOR BOMBING RAIDS, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING FOR "KILLZONE 2". THE PS2 WAS PUSHED 2 THE LIMIT FOR THIS ONE, HENCE SOME NPC TWITCH. EVEN BUNGIE LEARNED FROM MISTAKES OF THE ORIGINAL HALO. THIS GAME IS NOT 4 YOU IF U WENT WITH THE HYPE AND LISTENED TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GAMES (TOMMY TALLARICO). IT'S FOR PRO FPS PLAYERS AND FANS OF THE GENRE WILL APPRECIATE GUERILLA'S EFFORT. WE WAIT FOR KILLZONE 2 ON THE PS3 THIS TIME.
awsome game

this game is awsome. I noticed some slowdown but when people play they don't care about the framerate the color palete they just wanna have fun playing the game. the graphics are awsome probably the best in any PS2 game. It's set in the future buts its more real future no lasers and that fantasy stuff its like a more futuristic look on a weapon. The default controls are good i stuck with them. The weapons in the game are awsome and futuristic looking as i said before. Over all this game is awsome it may not be the halo killer we were expecting but its pretty dang good.
Not that great

I beta tested this game and I can tell you first hand that it is not that good. If you have played counterstrike its like that with better graphics, but the grenades dont go far, there is lag since it is online ps2, I encountered a lot of lag, and I have a cable connection with nearly 3,000 kbps. Overall you may want to rent this game first and see if its really what you want to waste money on, because you could buy other shooters that are far better I promise you that.
I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND!!!

The creator of this game just slapped the title of "Halo Killer" onto this game so people will buy it.Brainwashed people will go,"Wow! Halo Killer!This game must be great.".Don't be a fool.Get Halo 2.
PS:It's kind of sad that PS2 took this long to come up with a game that can even have the title of Halo Killer...
Flop.
Overall a Real Rubbish Game

How can a game that was meant to be a Halo killer, be as dismal as this game. The graphics are rubbish and the AI is the worse I have ever seen in a game.
I played through this game, and I got to a point where the repetition just got boring. I had to go on ebay and sell it.
A total waste of money and a waste of space and time.
If games are really going to be this bad, then someone needs to shoot me.
