Killzone 2 is one of the most memorable shooters. and purely amazing. though a couple short comings.
Graphics: great graphics is what makes a game attractive, and great to look at while playing. Killzone 2 is almost revolutionary in graphic detail. the lighting is amazing. the contrast from dark scenes and the flash from the the guns, pop out. the. the blood splashing across the screen as you light the helghast up. and over all, i've never seen a game (at least on a console) look this amazing. in my opinion, it looks and feels better than crisis. the particle effects, the dust blowing and explosions never looked so great.
Gameplay: its what makes the game. shooting someone never looked so good, so how does the game match up in gameplay? the ability to take effective first person cover, is awesome. some people say that its too sticky, but i never felt that all. it was very effective and is easy to use. the rocking on the screen, makes it feel like you're looking through a camera, and sometimes it can be difficult do to the slow sensitivity of the control. making turning to shoot someone a little slower, but it does not take away from the great feel of the game itself.
part of gameplay is the modes the game delivers. i like the ability to add AI bots to the game, making a private match possible. and the games modes being tied into one game, makes switching from gametype easier than the likes of COD.
my biggest gripe about the game, is no split-screen. i love to play games with my friends and some of my friends i like to play it on the same tv. thats frustrating.
multiplayer has never been more fun though. it looks great, great framerates throughout and multiple game types in the same match are great also.
bottom line:
The Graphics are amazing. the sound is amazing, and the gameplay is extremely satisfying. if they added split-screen mode and added an ability to change the sensitivity to turn and move faster. it would be a perfect 10. though the gripes dont take anything away from the game, there's room for improvement. i'd like to see a Killzone 3. a great game, thats alot of fun and a "Blast" (pun intended) to play. 9.5 is the final score due to the missing features. but i'd say, BUY THE GAME ASAP, YOU WONT REGRET IT.
