The biggest thing that impresses me about Killzone 2 is the controls. It's the first console shooter I've ever played where I don't feel like I'm flailing my gun around trying to hit my target. As far as graphics, I've seen better on the PC, namely in games like Crysis. But the game still looks good, probably a step ahead of Bioshock or Gears of War 2.

I rented Killzone 2 last Thursday when I got my PS3 Slim from Amazon. I'm almost done with it thanks to a day off from work with nobody else home but me and the cats. For some reason, even though the enemies are repetitive and there are some parts of the game that are frustratingly difficult, I'm still having a blast playing it and will probably try to finish it today. Sometimes, there's something that can be said for simplicity. It's not like the Hellghast aren't fun to kill. I think they're awesome enemies to fight against.

Finally, someone agrees with me on the controls... As for graphics, of course you'll see better on PC, that's why it's the PC. However, as far as consoles, it still holds the top spot IMO.

IMO it has the most horrible controls for a console FPS ever (Well let's say in the dual analog era).

Virtually unplayable for everyone without any experiences in console shooters.

I don't know, I generally prefer 3rd person shooters to 1st person shooters on the consoles, but Killzone 2's controls felt to me like they BELONGED on a console. 

Sounds like you trying to say that an "inferior" control scheme needs bad controls.....

I'm not sure about that. It sounds, at least to me, like he's saying the controls felt just right for where they were.

I think there's some give and take.  Killzone 2 seems to maxmize the give and minimize the take.  It's a great looking game that you can play on your couch on an HDTV instead of sitting in a computer chair looking at a monitor (which is the last thing I want to do at the end of an 8 hour shift of remote support).  The take is the controller.  I prefer mouse and keyboard on a shooter, but with Killzone 2 I almost seemed to forget I was using a controller.  It didn't feel as "mushy" as a lot of other shooters do on consoles.
