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

The concluding paragraph is most interesting...

"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."

It lets me know that Killzone 2 is most likely the offspring of Counter Strike, Rainbow 6, COD4 instead of Quake, Unreal, Halo...

Like me did you take that closing paragraph in a good way? I most certainly did.

Thinking up the next excuse.

they got paid by sony



I've said it before and, though i don't always agree with them, Eurogamer has the best track record of reviews I actually agree with for several years running--too bad the game doesn't support mkb or i'd have to go buy it.

Starcraft is banned ;)

Anyway, good for KZ2. How the hell are GTA4 or Halo 3 any better, I dunno... but 9's great.

Absolutely, the game will be fantastic...but I do preffer arcade style shooters these days.

 



An impressive review, I'm anticipating Killzone 2's release even more.
