sometimes shorter games increase replayability, uve just said finished 3 times in 2 days. thats how epic designed the game. i will deffo get gears for the single player but il get it later on its a good game.

ive just got my new 42" plasma and games on it look fantastic, the blacks greys and whites are utterly superb. i predict killzone will look stunning on my new telly i cnt bloody wait.

@ disolitude: honestly, the reason why he would compare it to GoW2, is because that is the top of the crop at the moment on consoles considering shooters, whether it be third person or first person.
That game also has a very high rating so far, and he only meant to say it outdoes that game (and according to him, by a long shot).

It is not a jab towards GoW per say, but more of a "hail Killzone" thing.


And just for you:

If this site gave the game a 9.2 or a 9.1 or whatever (something that confirmed your own "view" of the game), would you then take the review with a bag of salt, or "oh, see? just as I thought"?

Hmm, I wonder...

The really high scoring reviews always get released first. I strongly suspect that KZ2's scores will gradually trickle down to the 9.0 range -- you know, by the time it hits all-but-in-MS'-pocket sites like Eurogamer. ;)

lol, let me read the review before I argue any more...if it ever comes back.

The text clip that was inserted in the OP could have been written by me right now with my limited knowledge of killzone 2 that I gathered by watching animated gifs.

They fail for rating halo 3 higher than gears 2

Its been getting pretty good reviews lately.Lets just hope the sales are really good and that the amazing weekly sales are not short lived.

I 2nd this. I never liked the Halo series but Gears 1 and 2 are awesome!

I agree with them about the controls. The inertia and weight given to the controls feels like it could only be done via analog sticks. Playing this on PC would be really strange, and it's something that I feel could only be done on consoles. Squilliam has echoed similar sentiments in the past.

It really is different from all other shooters. Instead of trying to bring PC's "camera on a stick" gameplay to consoles, and thus making that entire style extremely inaccurate, it feels like they worked more with what a console controller is capable of.

Plus they were aiming for (though failed miserably) at a more realistic control scheme in the first Killzone.

Also, I've seen people on neogaf also claim that they were formerly PC-only FPS players, that enjoyed the Killzone 2 beta.

Btw, MEGamer's reviews for Gears 2, Resistance 2, and Halo 3 were done by different people than the Killzone 2 review.

My expectations have increased.

Makes sense y the reviewer of KZ2 said that the Gears2 and R2 were "meh" to him.
