From the only (major) review that has thus far given it under a 9:

Killzone 2 is quite possibly the best multiplayer shooter I’ve ever played, definitely on par with Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War. Thanks to its unique mission-based rounds, fantastic stat tracking, persistent unlockables and overall fun-ness, Killzone 2 is definitely going to be played by PS3 owners for years to come.

On top of all that, there’s an intricate clan system, tournament system and a website dedicated to tracking it all. No shooter has provided this level of community features and there’s little question that this sort of support will ensure a strong following, at least until Killzone 3 comes out.

Killzone 2 is a tale of two cities. There’s the campaign, which is a fine but forgettable jaunt through a series of FPS clichés. And then there’s the multiplayer, which is a slick, addictive experience that’s not to be missed. In the end it just depends on what you’re looking for.

They gave it an 8.5 despite all that. o_0
