@vizunary,
I believe the beef of his complaint is that people are only going by the graphics, rather than the gameplay. Many have never played the series, but the graphics draw them in. Nothing wrong with that.... for Konami.
P.S. I think that this title would more fit for Killzone.
Overall 73%(Gamerankings.com)
GameSpot-6.9
IGN-7.5
IGN said it best:
Hype did not influence this review. It did not grab this reviewer by the throat and force out an absurdly low or obscenely high score. Hype is not the master of our judgment. If anything, the mysterious entity of extremely positive expectation that floats around the Internet contaminating children might have influenced a reader of this review (or one of our early previews). There's even a chance you have bought into the hype and are now glancing over this justification of a 7.5 rating and wondering why Killzone is not the greatest thing ever -- thinking that 7.5 is somehow synonymous with awful. Hype will do its evil to the best of us.
What does Killzone2 have? Very good visuals. (Though not much more has been announced, this game has been hyped since 2005. Good for Sony, because people who never heard of Killzone are interested. However, all they seem to look at are the graphics. Is that bad? Not for Sony.)
