Forums - Sony - EDGE hammers Killzone 2 - 7.0

Read the review and the score does not compute.

They praised everything about KZ 2 except for the story and yet gave it a 7?

FPS are not known for their marvelous stories. If a FPS gets the gameplay mechanics correct, it has done its job.

From that I've seen in that gaf thread, the review is pretty positive overall. The say the game has amazing multiplayer, and some of the best AI seen in a game yet.

Here's a quote from the final paragraph of the review:

Thanks largely to its online play, Killzone 2 should find itself a fanbase no one can overlook.


One of the comments on the article:

Just finished reading Edge's review of this, they liked the gunplay, the story 'stinks', the Helghast provide some of the best enemy AI seen yet, FEAR is name checked along with Stalker and COD4, the levels could be played in any order and still have no effect on the plot, multiplayer is good and probably bolsters the score of 7/10


"liked the gunplay"

Take that, maxwell! The lowest review yet doesn't even knock the game's controls. :P

 

Gunplay =/= controls, take that MM :P

Gunplay is meaning more of the style, weapons, and feel, not the controls if it was the controls he would have stated controls and not "gunplay"

Are you implying that it could be really fun to play and shoot in a game while also having bad controls?  That makes no sense.

EDGE Is obviously morons,KZ2 and Halo Wars both are awesome games,let alone some of the other good games on Wii.


Sorry, I don't know if Halo Wars is really that great. I looked at some videos at Gametrailers and they certainly looked pretty "meh" to me, especially after watching some Dawn of War II footage for the PC.

But personally I haven't been excited about a RTS since Napalm Crimson Crisis on the Amiga which was released the previous millenium.

PS3 vs 360 sales

I'm implying he could have not been bothered by the control set-up as much, or maybe the final build is better then the demo, but he never said the game had amazing controls only amazing gunplay which is two totally different things.

This magazine is on the same level as the SDF in my opinion. They just pump out rediculous content, and try to grab views off pure unprofesionalism. If they were supposed to be a joke like SDF I would have less of an issue, but considering that they are positioned as a profesional outfit, this is just embarrasing.

To people trying to defend this. These people are supposed to be professionals. As a professional you are basing your review on how good something is, and not how good it is IYO. A professional food critic does not walk into a resterant that he hates, get served by a shity waiter, down one of the best meals in his life, and still say garbage. He would say that the food is great, his personal taste did not like the resterant or its employees, plus a few examples. In the end if the food is 10 quality the resterant should get a ten, because that is what you are there for. For a game it should only be about how playable the game is, and if there are any game breaking glitches. Otherwise, graphics, story, lastability, sound, and presintation are all subject to personal preferance.

To the person that says they have gameplay preferances....lots of bad stuff.......a game either has good gameplay, or it doesn't. It may be to easy, or it may be to hard, but trhat is not the fualt of the controls, it is either a lack of skill on the players part, or a matter of opinion on how difficault the game is.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Edge are very harse reviewers, a 5 is average for them. However I doubt Edge knew they have now provided ammo for foaming Nintendo and 360 fanboys, just like the OP who just wanted to stir shit.



 

Edge makes no sense. They give Gears 2 and Fable II 9s, Halo 3 a 10, but they give Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 a 7s, and MGS4 an 8.

And then they gave LBP a 10.

It seems rather inconsistent to me (more so than most websites/magazines). But then, that's the way of the reviewing world.



hahaha
EDGE sux. They gave MGS4 8/10. Resistance 2 6/10.
They are ridiculuous. Just dont take them serious



Halo 3 is a great game, so snork' off, MikeB, before I kick you in the ass.

I'm joking, of course. Don't smash H3 - it's a better game than Killzone 2. Various sites agree with me, too.



COD WAW 6/10??? poor games that didn't deserve these scores.
