Forums - Sony Discussion - Killzone 2: GamePro Review 5/5

Pros: Fantastic single-player campaign; even better multiplayer; amazing graphics

Cons: Frame rate issues when loading new areas; ugly menus; weapon aiming system can be frustrating

The review itself isn't very interesting, but I'll post a few interesting quotes...

"A PS3 shooter good enough to turn Master Chief green with envy."

"...already reeks of shooter of the year."

"...face-meltingly intense campaign and robust multiplayer..."

"...lives up to the hype and is a must-play FPS for fans."

Oh and they gave it game of the month against SFIV(5/5) FEAR 2(4/5), Skate 2(4/5) and various others.

I still have my doubts, but it's sounding good so far.

Honestly, I'm not sure how those cons can still justify a 5/5. Maybe you stated them more harshly than in the review? Frame rate issues and poor aiming should not exist in the top tier of shooters. I'll wait and see more reviews.



Great news! This game should be good, and just over one month left

Maybe the cons weren't that bad? And maybe the pros so heavily outweighed them that they didn't matter.

Keep in mind that he said the game had framerate issues "when loading new areas."  That's not all that often.



i really dont like the sound of 'weapon aiming system can be frustrating'

no need to reinvent the wheel there . . .



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

My bias against Killzone is slowly melting away....slowly, though. I need a bit more reassurence then GamePro can give me, as it isn't exactly difficult for them to give away perfect scores. 

Make me a believer, Guerilla. And the videos ain't cutting it. 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

"loading issues and menu interactivity have been sorted in the final build. Bear in mind, the review build was not the final build"

Frame rate issues?

Thats just not acceptable when the game is being hyped mainly because of its visuals



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
