What's number 1? Just curious. Golden eye? Duke Nukem?

The single player is really intense. I think this is my best FPS experience ever. I have only played 4 fps games though so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

The electricity gun rocks!!!

My only qualms with the game are minor:

1. Rico and Natko curse way too much
2. sometimes, the game freezes for a few seconds while streaming.

Ah, I picked up Killzone 2 today, played a couple hours of the campaign and I have to say I am pretty disapointed. It doesnt' live up to the hype for me. The graphics are good, but aren't OMG BEST GRAPHICS EVER good, which is what I have been hearing for years. In fact, to me anyway, gears 2 actually looked better, but that's probably just the art design. The things that I really don't like about Killzone 2 is the nonsesensical story (even worse than gears so far, and thats saying something) and the stupid controls. I messed with the controls for like a half hour before I finally got to the point where it felt somewhat comfortable, but the cover mechanic is still extremely awkward, as well as the zoom and melee motions. That being said there are lots of good about Killzone, but I wouldn't say it's that great. I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but I have a hard time with ps3 multiplayer as NOBODY TALKS. It drives me nuts, I'm to aclimated to xbox live...

Well, this might start it...

 

 I would hardly say I was causing a flame war.  I was just commenting on my disapointments.  I wasn't saying killzone was bad, but merely doesn't live up to hype.

Multi-platform copies of the same game should not technically be counted because it is the same game. So well there are still around 25 games that out rank Kill Zone 2 in the FPS genre.



how many reviews has killzone2?

Not that I believe this Metacritic list strictly reflects quality or makes much sense in its composition (what is Thief doing there? would Quake be rated higher than KZ2 today? Halo2? Perfect Dark?), but to go along with it and be pedantic:

a) you still have Team Fortress 2 _and_ the Orange Box, that also includes Team Fortress 2

b) there are 8 games rated 91 including KZ2, so only 17 of them do outrank it

A much more sensible list of potentially better titles can be xtracted:

Perfect Dark
Goldeneye
Halo CE/2/3
Quake
CoD4
Quake 3 Arena
UT2004
Unreal Tournament
Team Fortress 2

to which I would add CS 1.6/CS:S

I've played all of them (though admittedly very little of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, at friends') and I would rate KZ2 right at the top together with CS. Of course if you're more into twitch shooters you'll still love Quake 3 or UT2004, but at the very least it's up there with the best.
