Let's face it, Killzone 2 doesn't deserve to get perfect scores. I know this will score higher than Resistance 2 but it's not fair at all. R2 innovated in so many ways - what is K2 doing for the genre? Nothing. All I've seen in regards to innovation is a cover system which, let's face it, people will never remember to use. Sure it looks alright but beyond that there's nothing else. You can't keep giving the same game perfect scores every time it's released under a new name. It shouldn't score as highly as COD4, TF2 or R2 if there was any justice.

Let's hope once this game manages to lose Sony millions of the huge budget they've spent on it, they'll make something interesting. That's if they haven't gone bankrupt before then.

 

 Hey, if sites were giving Halo 3 perfect scores when an 8/10 would have been more fair than by god killzone 2 deserves it too!!:P Also you haven't even played the game yet so you cant really say it's not innovative, who knows maybe there will be features they haven't talked about.

Resistance 2 may be more innovative (and that is quite arguable), but it certainly isn't more fun.  Based on what I've played of each, at least.

Ultimately the enjoyability of a game is what should determine it's score, in my opinion.

Yes, but how long are the same repetitive shooting mechanics going to be fun for? The Playstation generation are acting like FPS games and online multiplayer are a whole new thing. Killzone 2 is the same old crap dressed up with sparkles and motion blur and should be scored as such.

And R2 is FAR more innovative in about as many ways as an FPS can be these days, I don't see how you can argue that.

Why are 3/4 of those reviews form Playstation magazine? Wierd.

Because there is an embargo on the publication of reviews until Feb 2, though some mag-printed reviews, including the ones in PTOM and Maxim, have already gone out to subscribers, who have scanned the reviews and posted them on the Internet. The non-official review score is the MEGamer score, which has since been taken down.

Not Weird.

What IS weird is how KZ2 has a user score of 6.3 on 79 votes over on Metacritic, when the game won't even be out for another month. Evidence of tampering by pathetic haters.

 

Uh-huh. 


as for 6.3 on metatcritic, of course its going to be because of pathetic haters. Same goes for such games:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/gearsofwar2?q=Gears

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/halo3

Welcome to the internet.

 

 

 

 Thats ridiculous for  Gears OF War 2since its a really good game, but I can agree with the user review on Halo 3, terrible game (yes the multiplayer is good, blah blah blah)

Repetitive shooting mechanices? Resistance 2's controls are similar to any Halo game, the only difference being its unique weapons.  If anything, Kilzone 2 is far more unique in this regard, with its emphasis on weight and inertia in its movement and aiming.

As for which is more innovative, both have their unique qualities.

Resistance 2:

  • Seperate 8 player co-op campaign, with varying level design each playthrough.
  • Squad-based multiplayer with varying objectives per squad.
  • 60 man multiplayer, a first on consoles (but not innovative at all when looking into the PC realm).

Killzone 2:

  • Entirely first person cover system in singleplayer.
  • A blend of TF2's class system with CoD4's progression system in multiplayer.
  • The ability to mix and match the abilities of each class via the Badges system.
  • Warzone multiplayer mode with seemless rounds.
  • An in-depth clan system allowing you to bet on matches with in-game points.
  • Having the Sixaxis effect the stability of your aim while sniping (a minor point, but cool nonetheless).

i think the reason why K2 has been getting more hype and praise over R2 is cuz it seems like K2 does everything a FPS should do better than other FPS while offering some innovation, wrapped up in gorgeous visuals, with what sounds like a great story (watch the opening cinematic in HD on gametrailers.com) in short it sounds like a "perfected" FPS experience. R2 is mediocre/good across the board with everything that is does (my opinion)
