Forums - Sony - The Official Killzone 2 Thread

Is CVG the first site to give it less than a 9 (other than Maxim)?

Was wondering when they'd get the gamepro review up....

So, now that's online, I finally added the IGN UK review. And with that, we reach 50 reviews

UGO's review - 8.5:

http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=989085

They knocked it because of a "generic SP", and gave it an 8.5 despite what they described to be "quite possibly the best multiplayer shooter [they've] ever played."

It's the only review under 9 on GR thus far, and MC doesn't seem to be counting it.  It's still a nice review, especially the part about multiplayer.

Some snippits:

In the end Killzone 2‘s campaign just feels generic and for what’s supposed to be one of Sony’s flagship titles, I definitely expected more. This is really a shame, considering the majority of the people that pick up Killzone 2 will never touch its real strong suit, the multiplayer.

[...]

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.

To sum things up, it's the best online I've ever played.  Though I have yet to play World at War.

World at War's online was similar to Call of Duty 4's online. Swap WWII era weapons instead of modern day weapons, dogs and artillery for air strikes and helicopters, and add one or two drivable tanks on some of the maps.

WaW online is far worse than 4, the maps and weapons just aren't as good, so if this is better than 4, I can't wait!

I would agree, especially with the weapons.

It's great because after the Killzone 2 beta, other multiplayer games like Call of Duty 4/WaW and Resistance 2 just feel weird.

Well I just never got into it, so I hope that I will get addicted to KZ2. While playing WaW I just had this nagging thought in my head that 4 was so much better

You'll love

* Beautiful (if bleak) visuals
* Amazingly chaotic battles
* Two words: lightning gun

You'll hate

* Being limited to one rifle
* Action's a little too predictable
* Multiplayer matches can drag



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
