After spending about 10 hours playing this monstrosity it bacame clear to me that the era of the Playstation2 is done. I packed up my PS2 and dozens of games and got what little value in trade-in that I could to switch to XBox and I couldn't be happier. Basically, this lame game was the mitigating factor to switch.
All you do in killzone is run through levels that are so similar from one another it's stupid. There is no variety whatsoever in the enemies, and that really is the main problem. It's just wave after wave of the same dudes in black saying the same phrases over and over in their deep voices.
Oh yeah, it takes at least 5 to 6 head shots to down an average Helghast-it's so fake. The story is lame, the graphics are fair but just as dull as everything else on the game. I guarantee you that not once will you find yourself thinking "that was a cool effect", or "how'd they do that?". This game is the perfect cure for insomnia, however. Trust me and [...]. Horrible.
EHEM... THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF S#%T

Careful when you play this game it made my hand smell for a week. I tried to be open minded but I could not help but feel a bit taken by all the hype and theme. It is a complete let down when you play this game. I played it for about 3 hours put it down and have not picked it up since. Too many good games out to waste your time with this one. Anyone still saying this is a Halo killer probably works for Guerilla games or Sony.
Overhyped piece of software

First of all, let's start with the obvious. Graphically, most of the launch titles for the PS2 look better than this, which is sad. The graphics are grainy and undetailed, and the environments look terrible in places. Compared to Halo 2, this game looks like it belongs on the PS1.
Second, THE A.I. IS TERRIBLE!
I don't know how many times I've been in the middle of an intense firefight, and my squad members JUST STAND THERE, DO NOTHING, AND SAY THE SAME, STUPID, REPETITIVE CRAP OVER AND OVER! I hate that. The marines in the original Halo were smarter than this!
Which brings me to 3. The sound.
The sound quality is ok, but all the A.I. characters have a VERY limited number of vocal samples, which gets really annoying by about halfway through the game. It gets really old hearing the Hellghast scream "Fire!" everytime they see you.
And Lastly, the overall gameplay isn't that great. The game gets boring really quickly, due to the fact that it lacks a truly immersive storyline like the Halo series does. The weapons aren't that interesting, either.
In closing, if your looking for a game that even comes close to Halo 2, you should get Doom 3, and unless you own a bad-a$$ PC, YOU ARE GOING TO BUY AN XBOX FOR THAT TOO!! So stop looking for reasons that the PS2 is superior to the Xbox, because it's not.
1. Load times are much faster
2. Better Graphics
3. Better Sound
4. Hard Drive INCLUDED
5. Network/Online Adaptor INCLUDED
6. Xbox Live
7. Better Online Games
8. The Halo Series
'nuff said...
rent it before you buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well their was no way this game was ever going to live up to the hype of being a "Halo killer", but honestly when compared to other fps in the market this game is just a let down. The single player levels suffer from graphical bugs, plain dumb team ai, and a cliché storyline that only sets up for the inevitable sequel. Most of the levels end up with you moving from room to room until you meet enemies at which point you play peek-a-boo with them while trying to snipe them with horribly inaccurate weapons and hoping that they don't hit you with any of the bullets they are firing randomly, rinse and repeat. Of course once the enemies start spawning with rocket launchers and grenade throwers, things get really frustrating as they have pin point accuracy with those things and getting hit pretty much means you have to start the level over. Too bad your not part of the opposing army since even a direct hit with a grenade launcher isn't enough to drop some of them.
As for the multi player, well it's really nothing you haven't seen before. It's just spawn, run in, expend all your ammo, die, and repeat. I can do this in Unreal for a fourth of the cost and have more fun.
This Game Sucks

After playing for 12 hrs on this game. I can honestly say this game SUCKS BIG TIME!
The AI is the worse I have ever seen in a game. How can 4 yrs of development lead to abismal AI. The graphics are fair, but still remind me of graphics for a game that was out 4 yrs back.
There is no real story, and it is just to repetitive.
I wanted to like this game, but I hated it.
I am now following the hype and buying a Xbox and HALO2.
The PS2 has now let me down, high expectations and they can't deliver.
How can they release this game

I was totally shocked that Sony released this game to the public.
It is buggy, AI is ridiculous. This game took 4 years apparently. Although it looks they spent 6months on this game.
The graphics remind me of dreamcast graphics. The gameplay is well below par.
I expected a Halo killer, and I got a bat and ball game instead.
I would possibly rent this before wasting money on such rubbish.
A total let down for PS2 fans. I will now place my hopes on GT
