i think i have said this before but.
all fps are generic.
they are use the same battle system (point and shoot).

and characters are always same (space marine, military, alien)

Thats not true!

I had a bow in Oblivion/Morrowind.

It was in first person and I shot people. With an arrow, not a bullet

Tease.

Killzone 2 is absolutely a generic shooter game and no amount of reasoning can legitamately dispute this. The Sci-Fi shooter has become almost as generic as the WWII shooter in recent years and the game itself features very few features that are genuinely unique and almost none that are truly significant.

However, what many people fail to realize is the being a "generic shooter" is not a bad thing. Call of Duty 4 is an excellent example of a generic shooter and it's probably the best shooter on the market. It's laughable that some people try to discredit the game by comparing it to the best games of the genre and saying that it's too much like them.

Killzone 2 is essentially Call of Duty 4 meets Team Fortress with a Sci-Fi twist. If that description alone doesn't excite you, then you aren't a shooter fan.

This.
