   I'm slightly surprised to see so many 5-star reviews for this one. I really don't understand why, with games like Modern Warfare, etc.. out there, people would rave about Killzone 2. This is a very generic shooter that follows a typically linear path that guides you to the next location. They make everything so obvious as to the objectives, like "shoot out that bridge", I mean come on. I found several of the guns to be useless and the head bobbing constantly as you move around makes you sick. Overall I think 3-stars perfectly sums this up. After you play for a few hours, you sit there and think....eh kind of boring. There's no wow factor at all other than graphics, but in this day and age graphics are the easy part...give me the game play!!

   I was put off on this game over some of the other reviews i read.
   but now that i have played the campaign twice and logged over 25+
   plus hours in the Online multiplayer I have to say this is a PS3
   classic, The controls are easy to get a hang of. I had played the demo
   on the Playstation Network for months before my purchase and had no
   Idea that hitting R3 would make you run. If you don't run you feel like your walking
   through the mud with lead boots.
   
   The campaign was excellent, Final boss took me back to the day when games were a challenge.
   Graphics are top notch on this game. Not very vibrant colors but the darker colors used adds to the
   whole War zone/warfare atmosphere.
   
   Well that's that............ buy it and enjoy it. You wont be disappointed.

   As a fan of the original Killzone, I had to get Killzone 2, and it was amazing. Graphics were awesome, gameplay was great, weapon selection was diverse, everything you would want in a FPS.
   
   Only problem.. The controls are slow, basically when you play alot of FPS games for a while and then you play KZ2, it will feel like when you turn your camera, that its slow..
   
   This makes online play very difficult. But, other than that, this is a very great game, a must have for Killzone fans.

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.
