Killzone 2 wins first gaming Ivor Novello

@parhar67 You're real problem it's not control maneuver but lack of accuracy. In Killzone, unlike other shooters which aiming is almost automatic like in MW2, you need to practice that and it's a great challenge in online. However when you start mastering it, it's really rewarding.

killzone should get another award for being the only fps that i've actually enjoyed since goldeneye

I hope killzone 3 does not have the same brutal sluggish controls as number 2. That is what killed it for me. Gameplay in killzone was horrible. I felt like i was moving in molasses

@SalamarianChemist I'm sorry...But you fail, fail hard.

Music was by John Williams, what more can you expect? (for those who dont know who John Williams is, he wrote the Star Wars music)

This game feels like a forgotten gem, it really deserves all the praise it receives.

Congrats to Killzone 2. Never played it but I heard good things.

That's nice. The music was good in this game.

i made the music for this game!!

nah i thought killzone 2 had epic music!

I preferred the Uncharted two score. But I can appreciate the choice.

@GrilledCharlie Killzone 2 requires skill when it comes to accuracy. It sounds like you are used to auto-aim like in CODs & Battlefields. I fact they removed the auto-aim feature for multiplayer in one of the earlier patches. As for your "they didn't put the effort into the controls" comment: The above fix and the later inclusion of the precision aim option alludes to the contrary. If you can't be bothered to learn to aim without help just say so.

@ TevoxZi It's not the control scheme that sucks, its the stick accuracy...or lack thereof. Its as if they tried to convey running in mud with barbells attached to the barrel of your gun.

I never really pay attention to music on my games, except for survival-horrors because the music gives it away, the noises I did pay attention to sounded good in the game. When's KZ3 coming out?

Not even a nomination for Shatter ? Boo.

@GrilledCharlie Ever tried using "Alternate 2" controls? ;)

Too bad they didn't put the effort into the controls that they apparently did into the music.

This was a good game. The endin' left this wide open for a Killzone 3. Lookin' forward to it.

awesome game i just wish they had more ranks for multiplayer. but nonetheless im def. gonna get KZ3 :) PS3 owns once again.

Even though my prefered gaming platform is the PC, I would not play Killzone 2 (I have a PS3 as well) on the PC because it just wouldn't work very well with twitch controls. Even on the high-precision settings, there is still a bit of a "weighty" feeling to the controls that add a lot of immersion to firing and controlling weapons that you would just miss out on on a PC.

Make Killzone 2 for the pc and than I will judge for myself.

I bought a PS3 for this, little big planet and uncharted. the graphics were great no doubt (though peoples faces in particular looked awful) but the soundtrack wasnt exactly memorable. fun game but not as good as hoped.

@ kavadias1981: You were right, you were going to be tumbed down for that :) But I agree with your point about the characters of the game. They're unecessarely rough , cynical and rude during the whole game (except Garza).

Good stuff KZ2 was a technical tour de force. BTW has the xbox got enough power to play music. Only joking of course it hasn't.

haha ps3 win:)

was a good score for a intense (but shortish campaign) lookin forward to KZ3 coz the end of 2 looks like they are up sh!te creek!

Killzone 2 doesn't have the BEST video game music out there, but it was certainly good. It's nice to see a game win something like that. Good Job KZ2! PS3 for the win. ~:D

@SalarianChemist and anyone else trying to downgrade a game just because it won an award of any kind: I think the word you are looking for is: Boohoo!

@TevoxZi Oh, when any X360-exclusive games wins any award, he'll troll as many as he like. And darn it, if only I have a PS3... (I already have a gaming laptop :D )

Kilzone2 Truely Cinematic music deserved this , I am surprised for such a high quality production it sold so few , I bought 3 8800GT Ultra to run Crysis at full specs , yes I was amazed with the visuals - then just a year later Killzone 2 amazed me even more with it's gorgeious environments , but I kept on going back to that game because of that engrossing music & scroching gameplay.

What a fantastically executed game. Seems so complete within itself.

I'm going to get thumbed down for this but I don't care. Buying KZ2 was a big mistake. It was garbage from start to finish. The plot was nonsense, the controls were clunky, I despised the characters with their gutteral tongues and barbaric attitudes. The only satisfaction I got was shooting them and not the "enemies". Resistance 2 was a far superior game in my opinion.

For video games it had to be either this or God of War 3. Both had incredible orchestral scores.

@ itjustgotcold coz u dun have a ps3!!

Demons Souls anyone, I dont know what they were basing this on, but that probably had the best ost out of any game I played last year.

the main menu music for kz2 is pretty epic, sounds like epic lord of the rings fight scene music or something LOL

AWESOME!!!!

Wow, even advent rising music score should have won. And of course ff series. And even the metal gear music. but at least a game got noticed.

This is a music get me running like a mad man! :D

I really wanna see more of killzone 2 maybe a DLC or even killzone 3 would be awesome

The music is great but there are many other games out there I reckon would also deserve this award - Uncharted 2 or any of the Final Fantasy games from VII to X.

I found sound in KZ2 more impressive than the graphics.

i always did enjoy the music on the start menu...made me feel like playing the game even more

this game could've been the best FPS on PS3 if wasn't for the chunky control which made long distance tactic fight a joke. the aiming sight physics reminded me alot of crysis, the difference is, you play crysis with M/K, which doesn't work well for ps3 controllers

good on them i say well done and bring on killzone 3!
