Forums - Sony - Eurogamer Killzone 2 Review: 9/10

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/killzone-2-review

Closing Lines:

Taken as a whole, Killzone 2 doesn't initially seem to offer enough to justify the superlatives that have been dutifully set aside by the PS3 faithful. Despite the often-stunning graphics, it's often derivative of other titles and doesn't - on the surface - seem to have much that distinguishes it from the herd.

It's deceptive though. This is a methodical shooter that makes few concessions to those not already interested in its single-minded approach to cover-based military action. I've compared it to Rainbow Six in the past, but it also calls to mind F.E.A.R, another tough tactical effort that was often misunderstood by those expecting a frag-happy spook hunt. Killzone 2 is a taut and muscular game, a shooter that gives back more than you put in, provided you have the intestinal fortitude. It may take its time revealing its true depths and pleasures, but the journey is well worth taking. Between Killzone 2's unforgiving grit and Resistance 2's alien-bursting excess, the PS3 finally has both ends of the shooter spectrum covered in grand style.

*sigh* I was expecting a 7. Anyways, I was going to post this up, but u know, in the official KZ2 thread (or even in the thread that was anticipating Eurogamer's review, first "real" review). Cue in excited KZ2 fans, jaded 360 "gamers" and all those that are annoyed by all the KZ2 threads...Epic thread.
