Who would ever have guessed Killzone 2 could just be a bland shooter with awesome graphics?

Yay!!! but what is LTB? (I'm curious!)

They don't like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts + Bolts either. 5/10

So Banjo is worse than Killzone?

Banjo must be a generic game with bland graphics. :'(

Unless they are just pissed off Nintendo fans

2 sites now have slated KZ2. I dont what all the PS3 fans were expecting. The first was rubbish anyway. KZ2 has good graphics but the gameplay, AI and level design in all the videos have looked poor. Sites are starting to confirm this.

LOL! 

The new Rock_on_2008?

Anyone having delusions this grand must be in constant pain.

I realize that I'm in the enviable position of getting to paid to play top-shelf games time after time, but sometimes, no matter how good a game is, it can get stale. You get to a point where you don't feel wowed anymore and just want to be done with it. That hasn't happened here. Every time I play it, Killzone 2 finds a different way to ensure that I won't shut up about it.

Come quicker, February 2009.

Pata-pwned?

Now show me your websiites where they say that the AI and level design are poor.

I'm not like him at all. If I have no prof I put my opinion in brackets after it. Any ways I thought this was common knowledge.'s the most hyped of the bunch, but it's not necessarily the best. Killzone 2 still looks fantastic, visually-speaking. The controls are tight, and the art direction, with nearly all color drained from the shattered environments, is gorgeous. Whatever time Sony has spent fine-tuning the look and feel of this game has been well-spent.

Too bad the gameplay feels stale. Nearly every moment of the demo we played was a heavily scripted vignette, complete with a computer-controlled teammate who knows how to kick or shoulder open doors (apparently, you skipped that part of boot camp), tells you where to go, and occasionally stands in a doorway, silently challenging you to throw some friendly fire into his back. The opening firefight of the level we played was particularly aggravating, since the enemy machine gun positions on a bridge are manned by an infinite number of soldiers. No matter how many headshots you pull off, another target is going to warp into existence. Your teammates are apparently disabled, or afraid of explosives, because they keep yelling at you to grab a rocket launcher that's right next to them, and hit the boxes of ammo that have been placed, dubiously, right behind the machine gun nests. The bridge blows up, and you can proceed, knowing that in a few minutes your unique ability to aim a rocket launcher and pull the trigger will be literally indispensable.

Bottom Line: An impressive shooter, but aside from the stunning graphics, there's nothing revolutionary to see here. Link:

I wasn't impressed with what little I saw of Killzone 2, Resistance 2 looked much better (actual color) and was a lot of fun.

LOL for it not even being a gaming site.  I've never before in my life heard from this site.  What'd you do?  Google search it?

Give me an IGN, Gamespot, Joystiq, Kotaku, Game Informer, Gamepro, or some other reputable site.  Not some "popular Mechanics" site.  What the fuck site is that?  I've never even seen that site mentioned before in my life!  And even if I had, it's is again just like gamesradar.  A Preview of a game that they played for ten minutes. 

Show me someone who has had some hands on time with it for an extended time (read: More than five minutes), that's a reputable publication.  Not some stupid "Popular Mechanics" website. 

Try again

@dmeiester

Man you have become worse then before defending your precious SONY. Did you ever get that 80 gig with mgs? I swear 10 times out 10 your always defending anything SONY and taking little shots at anything MS. Seriously you have only gotten worse. As I stated many many times in the past your by far the biggest SONY fanboy on this site. Your like the Fox channel of this site always trying to seem balance yet is so easy to see who your obviously rooting for and thrashing. I would still love on ignore feature on this site just so I don't ever stumble on what your response is as I swear is exactly what I expect every single time lol.
