Killzone

Labeled as a Halo 2 killer. I don't know about that... but from the brief demo KillZone looks like a very solid FPS, probably the best on PS2 which isn't saying too much I know. Killzones levels seemed to portray a decayed urban style, with some major firepower at your disposal. Right off the back killZone felt like a more dramatic and violent game than Halo. A more realistic feeling of warfare and casualties came to mind.

In a class all its own!!

Folks, forget about the whole "halo killer" contoversy. Having played both halo2 and Killzone, I can tell you that these are two VERY different kinds of games. It all depends on what your expectations are. While Halo 2 provides gamers with a pretty, surrealistic game experience, Killzone sends us to a future that is far more eerie, somber and frightening...and in doing so, gives us a glimpse of what combat in the future might really be like. And to many of us, this is precisely what makes it so appealing.

Instead of fantasy fireams and dazzling laser beams, Killzone puts your hands on a variety of powerful, forboding weapons so realistic you can practically smell cordite. And while some complain that the weapons are hard to handle or take too long to reload, these are details that make the game closer to real combat (just ask any veteran!)

Problems that critics cite about Killzone are simply overcome with strategy and practice. Think the Helgast are too hard to kill? Then aim for headshots, set ambushes, and use explosives at every opportunity! Even with the bevy of impressive weapons at my disposal in Killzone, I have stacked the biggest bodycounts just by using an assault rifle with its built in grenade launcher. Killzone doesn't make winning easier for simple minds...but it rewards those who use cover, strategy and ruthlessness to win.

In short, Killzone consumes more of my time than any other game before it...and those who have taken the time to explore the multiplayer modes offered know what I speak of. Since picking this game up last year, I have logged over 250 hours on the battlefields and I am still challenged by every game. Its the the best $50 I've spent in ages.

Killzone is, to be precise, a console game that has my highest recommendation. In my opinion, it has been shamefully overlooked and underestimated by most of the game awards and reviews done on the subject(hear that G4 TV?!) Juts play the game, and decide for yourself. As for me, I can only hope that Killzone 2 sticks to the same vision of a dark, dingy and nightmarish future that makes its predecessor so compelling and fun.

This game is by far the best FPS that i have ever played. And after being forced to play the overrated game halo, I can say that it is the halo killer.
The gun selection is very nicely varied so you can play how you want to, the graphics and particle-effects bring out the best in the PS2's Emotion chip (best of all it doesnt have that glossy look that halo has)
Killzone looks and feels as though you are there, And thats what makes good gameplay and graphics.

Sweet game! Get it now!

Killzone is an awesome game that Im glad I bought. If your reading reviews on major game sites like "gamespot" then disregard them. Gamespot is known for reviewing games based on their feelings, not the actual game. Also Gamespot is payed big bucks by Microsoft to glamourize Halo and downplay Killzone. But dont let that stop you from enjoying Killzone which is a kick-butt game for the PS2.

Killzone definately feels like a battlezone. The wind blowing in the background, the grey skies, the war torn fields, just explain that this is a warzone, not some colorful green play land(like Halo). I havent played too much of the single-player, but Ive put about 6+ hours into playing online. If your into deathmatch games, then dont even bother reading reviews about Killzone to determine whether you wanna buy it or not....JUST GET UP AND GO TO THE STORE NOW! Killzone is an excellent online game if your into deathmatch type of stuff.

The weapons also seem like actual weapons. Guns actually feel heavy, and nasty. Unlike the plastic cap guns that plague Halo, the weapons in Killzone actually feel like big pieces of equipment that fire good old fashioned lead. Also some of the weapons are very unique(triple barrelled rocket launcher anyone?).

Overall this is an excellent game if your a PS2 owner and your looking for a first person shooter to play. Also if you have PS2 Online(Broadband)and love deathmatch games, then no questions about it, get your butt to the store and pick up this game! See ya in the KillZone!

Killzone is Quite Good

This game is a great deal of fun. Having played a ton of FPS', this game is easily the best i've ever seen. When i say i've played a ton, i mean a ton, Doom 1 and 2, Marathon 2 when it first came out, Duke Nukem, Medal of Honor for ps1 and ps2, castle wolfenstein, both old and new, red faction 1 and 2, and of course, halo, not halo 2, yet. Anyway, like i said, this game is the best fps i've played. It is the most realistic shooter on the market. the detail is amazing. you can see so much. if you get close enough to an ISA grunt, you can see the lines of his face, the bump marks on his newly-shaven head, even the grim, "i-really-don't-want-to-be-here-but-i'll-fight-because-i-have-to" look on his face. the level design is superb, they are all very unique and offer up many challenges. i love how people complain about no jumping. think about it. let's assume you weigh around 160 pounds, your armor-suit is another 40, your multiple guns are probably another 30 combined, more for heavier guns, all your ammo is another 20.. that's around 250 pounds!!! try jumping with all that weight, most people just use jumping as a cheap way to dodge bullets anyway. if you can't climb over an obstacle in this game, then you either aren't meant to pass it, or there's an alternate route. the weapons are also great. the accuracy is totally realistic. having spent time on the firing range, i know from personal experience that you don't always hit the spot you were aiming for. this isn't really because you're a bad shot, guns just have a certain degree of inaccuracy to them. the hardest gun to us IS the sniper rifle, but it just takes some practice, and you'll be doing just fine. i had a lot of trouble with it too, having enjoyed the extreme ease of use that sniper rifles in other games had, like red faction and medal of honor, but once you get used to it, it's a breeze. i love the squad members that you get over the course of the game, each one very distinct in his or her own way. they praise you for headshots, and they put you down for bad accuracy. they are generally a smart bunch, though they do tend to do annoying things, like stand there and get shot when the enemy is hiding behind an obstacle. the enemies are great. i love the way they scream during a gunfight. i never had any problems with this galss wall people talk about, but i did notice that whole face thing. sometimes, your ISA buddies' faces will be much less deatiled, usually when you turn around to face them, but the game catches up pretty quickly and puts the full detail back in. i also never had a problem with slow frame rates, i'm not saying the problem isn't there, i most likely didn't notice. that's another thing, this games really sucks you in, unless you like halo, but your opinion is likely biased because you're just looking for flaws in the game anyway. it is a shame that there were no vehicles, but i really didn't have a point in the game when i though," boy, i could really use a warthog right about now." overall, i'd give it a 9, very nice, but with a few bugs. none of the bugs really impede gameplay for me, but heay, if i gave it a 10, i'd just get yelled at by the halo lovers for giving it the same score they'd give their favorite, halo. thanks a bunch, and enjoy

awsome game

I never thought that this would be the Halo killer and I still had fun with it. Some people always tell me they had to shot the badguys 50 times to kill them. I laugh cause I think that they have to be terrible shots I shot at leats 5 to 8 times with the guys and only 1 to 4 with the female. The story was awsome cause it was like WWII in the future on steroids. And the ending og the games was good cause they did not end it with some sappy happy ending like some games do. If you played halo and you think that you will hate this game don't play it cause it seems that you already made up your mind about hating this game before you played it. But if you did not play halo and you are a FPS shooter junkie than yeah by all means get this game and blast away.
