Killzone: A gamers' post play thoughts

After having played killzone I can honestly say I enjoyed the experience more than I enjoyed Halo 2. If I knew then what I know now about Killzone I would definitely buy it again. Killzone is not without flaws though. It suffers from obvious texture pop in (a problem also found in Halo 2) and enemies have a bad habit of saying the same things over and over again. With that said it is a cinematic game with a welcome level of realism not found in many fps's. In the end I look forward to playing Killzone 2.

Unique FPS

The storyline is fairly hokey, IMHO. But is that why we lay down money for first-person shooter games? No way. This game delivers the goods, in a way that many FPS games don't. That is, there is plenty of strategy involved, down to what weapons you use, and when.

In other games, the weapons are simply a matter of aesthetics- (do you like to blow stuff up? Or blow somebody's head off?) In this game, the situation you're in dictates which weapon the player will use. Facing a massive onslaught on Helgast? Better have a grenade launcher. Are you in a shootout with a single enemy in a tight spot? The pistol comes in handy.

And you'd better find cover. Otherwise, you are dead. In many FPS games, cover is optional, but in this game it's a matter of life and death.

Moreover, you have a choice of characters. Again, this isn't just a matter of whim. There was actually one point in the gane where I HAD TO SWITCH characters to make any progress. That's because some characters are made for stealth, whereas others are made to withstand a massive onslaught. The wrong character at the wrong time can actually make life harder.

An intriguing game, with plenty of bang for the buck.

Worth the $20 bucks

This game is a lot of fun. Sure, the story could have been better, big deal! Games shouldn't be defined by their plots. That's what movies are for. I love this game. When I first bought it, I couldn't put it down. This game makes me want to buy a PS3 just so i can get the sequel. If you enjoy First Person Shooters, then this is for you.

Awesome!

This game is awesome. Sure it looks a little gray and dull, but what military shooter dosen't these days. (The Outfit excluded)Fans of Halo beware though because this game is more realistic. Also, be careful , parents, this game has lots of cursing.

PROS: Great Gameplay
Deep Storyline( Finally, a futuristic shooter without colerful aliens)
Fun multiplayer
Bots (Computer controlled enemy's in multiplayer)
Some unique multiplayer types

CONS: No Co-op in Campaign
Rag-doll physics are pretty plain

Maybe I'm just slow

Well, where do I start? I'm older guy, 31, and still play PS2. I usually move away from anything with analog control only, like this game. I really have no coordination for these games, strictly driving stuff for me. Only played it once, in easy, and against the computer on the vs. match, and its still hard. Graphics are pretty cool, as well as the weaponry. I'm sure with a bit of practice I could hold my own, but not sure how long it'lll take to get the guts to run this game again. Wish I could at least use the directional pad for movement of the person, but no luck there. Good action, lots of stuff to shoot at, just not a big fan of analog....try it though, it'll keep you hoppin'.

Solid FPS

I already had Killzone and I bought it again because I wanted to get into it again and play online. Good story, nice range of characters and good replay value.

So close to perfection, if only...

So close to perfection, if only it wasn't for those graphical glitches, and the rare but present frame rate problem, the game could've been EXCELLENT but it turn out GREAT, all flaws taken into consideration, I think is a must have for FPS lovers.

Killzone Unmatched

I have played numerous war games, and/or strategy, all of which have violence as a main theme in their ventures. But by far, the most simplistic and easy to use is Killzone. A few years have passed since this game was originally released, giving it some shelf-life for others searching for compliments to it. The visuals are stunning in some areas and could use improvement in others, depending on your television and connections of course. But what is most inspiring about the game are the use of weapons and control features. No double button excesses here, just straight forward one button manipulations. The best way to enjoy it's overall appeal is to enter battlefield mode, whereby familiarization with all weapons and button configuration can be attained and enhanced for optimum use. Some inconsistencies exist in the game, but once your experience with the computer's reaction time, and random strategy advantage, has adjusted itself, then you can see the true worth of this game. It will always, if allowed, have you aware of your surroundings that contribute to your advantage or disadvantage against it. Campaign mode offers the story line and all character assesments, arguing that most games have good story lines, this is more of a basic element to the game and seems to define it quite independent. Depending on your view, I don't see it as good versus evil, more of aligining teams in an effort to learn strategic placement and adjusting for unintended outcomes. Moreover, the by far best experience is online play, which I personally recommend for everyone that is utilizing the online features with most games.

All in all this game is a must for serious game enthusiasts. Have yet to enjoy the latest installment in this series, Killzone: Liberation.

I am also a beta tester. This game is going to be one of the best PS2 titles ever. The game is simply outstanding and from what I have read, it's going to have top notch levels, enemies, and features. The online competition for a FPS is better than anything I have played on a console (MoH, Socom 2).
