   1.You are basically a midget in this game or You have your eyes on the belly. You see everyone as you are looking above to them, while being looked down. Accustomed to other normal FPS games, this was a fun killer.
   
   2. The turning speed is not fast and natural(again unlike other normal FPS), You are slowed down by the software. So while you turn and try to shoot, you are already dead.
   
   3.Also while turning around, the picture is slightly shaken and blurred to give that "realistic effect". I hates this as it causes me irritation. I dont want to feel like a retarded, slow and epileptic midget hero.
   
   4.The environment is so very dark, there is almost no other color except dark, grey, black, brown and the red eyes. It makes me very unexcited to play it again.

   This games way to hyped by everyone. Graphics are great but other games have just as good and better(CALLofDUTY, Gears of War) Even more games are more eye popping and beatiful( Fable, Ninja Gaiden, BIOSHOCK) As for the story, its kind of not there. The main character is boring, just an average soldier NO ATTITUDE. THE controlls do suck. The words clunky, slow come to mind. You get used to the slowness but itS KIND Of lame. My advice is Call of Duty. RESITANCE 2 isnt that cool either. 360 owners are not missing much in the fps department. Real reasons to get a ps3 is God of war series or Bluray.

   Game glitch sometime through out the game. Graphic is great, sounds is top notch. Online is phenomenon. My only complaint beside the glitching issue, is the controller. Where the key and mouse usage for the ps3. I bought a similar device mouse and key, while it is not the same movement as the original dsk mouse and key. Otherwise the game is legit. Still working on the game and it has been 5 months since I bought the game. My advice take your time and appreciate the artiste of the game.

   Graphics are excellent, but the controls could use some work. Even with the High Precision configuration, the controls still feel sluggish and clunky. The story is the standard, kill the leader and his minions. Online multiplayer is pretty fun and robust with many match modes to keep you occupied.

   Killzone 2.
   
   I have a lot of mixed feelings toward the supposed "definitive FPS title" for PS3.
   
   It's definately not a bad game, it just doesn't live up to the hype.
   
   The lack of offline co-op makes the multiplayer relatively unappealing to me. It's single player mode is taxing at most for the first few missions. Yet, as you get comfortable with the gameplay, the storyline ends and leaves you itching for more.
   
   Its slight learning curve is nonexistant for any FPS veterans. Yet, even the most hardcore players might need some time to adjust to the heavy motion sickness brought forth by the gameplay. According to their public relation, it's an intended design. How much it affects your gameplay varies from person to person, but I've known some who simply cannot sit down and play Killzone 2 for an extended period of time without feeling nauseated.
   
   The online multiplayer is perhaps its biggest redeeming factor, but the community has dwindled since its initial launch. While still large enough to satisfy most, I found myself leaping from a limited assortment of games, hoping to find a game mode that I actually enjoy.
   
   Overall, Killzone 2 is a great title, and, for the most part, stands worthy of its many praises.
   
   Yet, regardless of all its potentials, I can't help but feel like it fails to meet my many expectations.
   
   If you never tried the game, it's definately worth a playthrough.

Editorial Reviews

Get ready to take on the full strength of the Helghast war machine from a dramatic first-person perspective with Killzone 2 for PS3. From Guerilla Games, this much anticipated follow-up to Killzone for PS2 and Killzone: Liberation for PSP drops you right into the boots of battle hardened special forces soldier Sev. Set two years after the aborted Helghast assault on Vekta, the action opens with your ISA Legion squad deployed behind enemy lines on the Helghan's unforgiving home turf.

Motion blurs and studio-grade special effects bring battle to life. View larger.

First-person viewpoints and 7.1 surround sound keep you immersed. View larger.

Realistic lighting and detailed environments add a cinematic quality. View larger.

Smooth animation and improved AI give the Helghans a terrifying, realistic presence. View larger.

Combat Lifelike AI and Inhospitable Terrain
Despite the smooth character animations and swift-thinking AI behind each individual Helghan, their planet itself may be the most deceptive opponent that you face. Unlike other game environments that serve as nothing more than a visual backdrop, the devastating Helghan climate takes a notable toll. And, worst of all, the Helghans know exactly how to use the planet against you.

The in-your-face perspective comes to life as you take aim with exotic new weapons and mainstays from the previous games, including the M82-G assault rifle. And you can now drive an array of rugged, sometimes strange, vehicles that expand the gruesome possibilities of war.

Guerilla Technology in a Terrifying, Realistic World
Guerrilla's unique visuals and deferred rendering technology ensure that even the ugliest situations on Helghan are beautifully lit. Ambient occlusion and accurate shadow casting from a variety of light sources combine with gritty textures, detailed environments, and studio-grade special effects to help complete the realistic, Hollywood experience of this first-person shooter.

Real-time cutscenes, full-screen anti-aliasing, motion blurs, and internal lens reflections all bring you into the fold and work to maximize the hardware capabilities of the PS3. And the audio experience is no less impressive. 7.1 surround sound capability lend a truly dynamic sound element to your experience, while audio occlusion with wave tracing means that you can hear the difference between indoor and outdoor firefights.

Chaotic Multiplayer Drama Online
While single-player mode lets you take on the unique challenges of 11 fully developed levels, online play lets you engage with up to 32 players at a time, bringing the gritty, realistic chaos of war to a whole new level.

Other multi-player friendly enhancements in Killzone 2 include in-game clan management, a match wagering system, and the ability to integrate new information and track friends and enemies with the community at Killzone.com.
