They don't say much about the storyline and from what I can gather it doesn't seem like the narrative is strong at all. Giving the game a 9 despite the fact makes me question the integrity of the review.

 

the multiplayer portion must be pretty good then

 

good score so far, i'll predict  94% on metacritic

It doesn't matter. A game without strong narrative should not recieve a 90+ score. Narrative standards in games seem to be lower than for movies and books, and most reviewers and developers have been putting gameplay before storyline. That should not be promoted by essentially rewarding such games and developers with such high scores, forgiving major faults such as a weak plot.

So all mario games should be sub 90s? There is a reason that games tend to have a weaker storyline than books, it is because it is not the only thing keeping people interested. That is the reason that gameplay is placed above storyline, if you want a very deep storyline, and you place that above gameplay, then you should go and watch a film. I am not sure how good the storyline is, because I haven't played it, but of course maybe they just didn't talk about it because they had more things to talk about it. The main concern with Killzone 2 was not that it would not have a great story, but whether it would play well, and that it does

If you want a good backstory, go to Killzone.com there is a massive amount of information there, it is fascinating
