This Game sucks. I bought it a few days ago and it is not a Halo Killer. Halo is much better. The graphics are the worst I've ever seen. The cutsceens may be good but nothing else. The sniper rifle is way to hard to aim and you fight the same old black bodied red eyed enemy throughout the whole borimg game. The first thirty minutes are the only fun parts of the game. After that the game gets repetitive. Please don't buy it it is a wast of fiffty dollars.

Best Game Ever Made By Sony

I think this Game is suppose to be better and I was reading about this game in a magazine once and This is suppose to be
a great game for the PS2 for those who are fans of First Person Shooter Games and What read in the magazine once they where trying to see which FPS Game is better Either Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, or Killzone. So I think Killzone is better than Halo 2 and Metroid and This is all I have to say.

Having all of the video game systems, I'm always looking for great games. This game is touted as the PS2s answer to Halo. Halo it is not.

It is NOT a bad game, and definitely is entertaining. However, if you're an Xbox owner and looking for a halo-type game on the PS2, you will be disappointed.

The constant chatter amongst you and your men is annoying at best. The weapon selection could be better.

Overall it is a solid game. But for those claiming it to be the Halo of PS2, I would have to disagree.

Halo Killer? I Think Not.

THE GOOD: Great early presentation gets you riled up for action; Nice sound effects and pretty visuals; Fairly long campaign.

THE BAD: Touchy targeting system; sometimes downright idiotic enemy AI; repetitive gameplay; bland storyline; ugly cinematic cut-scenes; crappy been-there-done-that choice of weapons.

DIFFICULTY: Easy-to-medium

Killzone made it's hype by the developers declairing this a "halo killer." Yea, right. Though I gotta say, when first starting up this game the dusty and bullet ridden warzone first stage had me so excited I almost pee'd in my pants: you meet up with other soldiers and fight alongside them making you feel like you're really part of something big. You take down frightening red-eyed enemies and blow lots of crap up, always fun. The first few levels of the game are some of the most enjoyable in the shooter genre.

But once you meet up with the three other main characters (which eventually become playable) is where things start to go downhill. For one thing, you KEEP taking down the same enemies over and over, using the same tactics because they all respond virtually exactly the same, the only differences being the number of them and if they're using more powerful weapons. Other times these enemies are so stupid they'll literally stand there and let you kill them, all the while uttering the same exact grunts and groans and one-liners again and again and again. If that weren't bad enough, the developers seem to have run out of good ideas for stages early on, whereas the first quarter of the game feels like gold compared to the sub-par increasingly linearized level design of the rest of the game. Did I also mention graphics tend to chop up when the action gets intense? The fact that some of your weapons are so hard to aim doesn't really help either (I kept playing with the analog sensitivity in the options menu and never found a comfortable setting).

Now, tip for gamers: keep using Rico. First off, he's got the best gun in the game as his primary weapon, and he can take a lot more damage than his three other wimpy compadres (I have a question, why give the one female character in the game nightvision if it's never necessary in any part of the game whatsoever?). Anyways, you'll basically sit through a dumb cliched storyline between levels and some increasingly choppy cutscenes all to get to a final "boss" who's so easy and pathetic the bomb of this game's ending just makes you laugh at yourself in shame for having spent so much time for nothing. The challenge never really gets any higher, and "puzzles" are basically finding the switch to get to the next area. It's all pretty easy to say the least.

BOTTOM LINE: (...), this mission is probably worth pursuing for those who want an action packed mindless FPS, but for anyone looking for challenge, strategy and a memorable experience, keep looking.

Welcome to the Flopzone

Only a baffoon would not see this coming. If it can't even handle Deus Ex 1 and Rainbow Six 3, what makes you think it's going to be able to run a halo clone. Call up any psychic, they'll tell you the same thing I'm telling you. Sattle up the syrup boys, we are headed to the flopzone.

Perfect Halo-like for the PS2

This game is so much fun, I can't seem to put it down. I have been looking for a Halo "like" game for the PS2 and I found it with KillZone. Yes, the PS2 specs are dated but this game looks superb. I haven't ran into any choppy game play yet, but I do hear the PS2 DVD drive working overtime. If you played Halo 2 then you will love this game. I do think that Halo is a better game, but since you can't play it on the PS2, KillZone is your answer. Halo 3 may have some tough competitiion with PS3 and Killzone 2.

A very strong if slightly flawed FPS.

Unlike most of the reviewers here, I'm not gonna waste my time on Halo comparisons, or how this game is advertised as a "Halo killer." I'll leave that lameness to the console fanboys. Besides, I find online FPS entries like Counterstrike to be superior anyway.. but that's a topic for another review. I will say that Killzone is generally a pretty solid FPS, one of the best PS2 entries, and a worthy addition to the genre.

First off, BIG points for atmosphere and some very awesome graphics, dialogue, and cut scenes. Killzone is the proper model for the feel of a military combat game--gritty, harrowing, and savage. Even the more beautiful locales are rugged, dimly lit, and grainy, stained with the trademark signs of bombardment. Each of the 11 Campaign environs and 6 Team Arenas are HUGE, which makes exploring them a great deal of fun. The gore and explicit language are also wholly appropriate; keep this one away from the tots.

Your enemies are a breed of super-soldier known as Helghast--faceless, merciless, and replete with orange goggles (that glow back at you ominously from the shadows), gas masks, black combat suits, and huge menacing weapons, these enemies are truly frightening and disturbingly REAL and take some obvious cues from WWI-styled trench warfare in tactics and appearance. A very smart and capable foe (with some exceptions.. I'll get to that in a second) that will slay you without mercy if you make the mistake of foolishly rushing guns ablaze into their lines. A fully engaged brain is required to survive in Killzone, and trust me, staying cool isn't easy when you're under a barrage of gunfire, grenades, and enemy troops coming at you eight-ways-till-Sunday.

Points also go to the weapons model. The vast majority of the guns are all of the heavy-duty bullet-firing variety with secondary functions that include shotgun, grenade launcher, and missle launcher. You can also smack your opponents around with the butt of your weapon or knife if melee is your thing (though short-range battles are ill-advised in this game, lest you end up with a face full of lead). Recoil is prominent, aim needs to be steadied (especially with sniper rifle), reloads take precious time, ammo is not plentiful, and there are no shortcuts taken for the user's convenience. It all makes for a pretty realistic experience, and it's also way fun in multiplayer (though I've yet to try online play).

Not without a few flaws, however. There's that much-hated "invisible wall" effect that seems to constantly plague games of this nature. There's some weird inconsistencies with the AI, on both sides. The Helghast will take cover from your grenades and team up to flank you or pick you off, but in the midst of combat will often become motionless targets. On the ISA side, your teammates will often take turns as either ineffectual meat shields or forget to back you up. The Helghast also seem to take more than a goodly number of hits to kill with guns (sure they're super-soldiers, but JESUS.. a whole clip of assault rifle bullets should do more damage than that) but will be felled almost instantly with a couple knife stabs. Strange. Voiceovers are occassionally annoying, as both sides tend to frequently repeat lines ad nauseum (though the gruff roars of the Helghast sound especially intimidating). Finally, the autosave function is a pain in the arse, often causing you to lose vast amounts of progress if you die midway into a mission. Argh.

Minor quibbles aside, this is essential for FPS lovers and PS2 owners. Go get it.

...its wierd i couldnt write a review in the normal type..it wuldnt let me...any way. This game is a good game for shooting. i have to say it has not have a great load of realism...sure the reloading is but your men dont turn on you if you shoot them and the graphics arent very good. Also i must agree with others i got pretty tired of shooting the same stupid black guys with red eyes like 3 million times.

Halo 2: in this game you can hold two guns its great. Also the graphics are outstanding. Not only that its realistic, you shoot guys they shoot you back no matter if its your team or the other team. there is a whole class type of aliens which make them stronger and smarter. they are smart unlinke in kilzone the enmey stands there and is just trying to kill you. the aliens move and can come up to hit you.....etc im not gonna write no more cuz halo is such a better game..

BAD!!!!
