Killzone 2 review on Thursday
Guerrilla's PS3 shooter finally rated.
Killzone 2 has been the subject of intense hype, speculation and discussion ever since it was shown off - or rather, ever since Sony tried to give us an impression of how it would look - at E3 2005.
In the intervening period we've had teasers, trailers, hands-off and finally hands-on previews and a closed multiplayer beta - a rare thing in these days of betas-as-demos marketing - but the ultimate question still lingers: is it any good?
Well, tomorrow you'll be able to find out, as Eurogamer's review of Killzone 2 will finally go live at 5pm GMT on Thursday, 29th January.
We've been playing the game for some time now, both online and off, and we're looking forward to sharing our thoughts. In the meantime, be sure to stop by our Killzone 2 gamepage to gauge our most recent impressions and catch up on things like video of the multiplayer and the latest news and screenshots.
Killzone 2 is due out for PlayStation 3 on 27th February.

Having been in 2 beta phases for KZ2, I can say it (KZ2) entertained me more than CoD4 has been able to in terms of multiplayer. The CoD4 single player was short (but good for the 4 or 5 hours it lasted) so hopefully, this will be a bit longer and epic.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Only joking. I reckon it'll be a 9. It won't do anything thoroughly original but it will be a solid, tight experience (quiet at the back!) and good at what it does.
The interesting thing is that the reviews are all so early, which means that there must be a base level of quality to the game.. just like I always thought there would be. Killzone 2 has far too much pressure on it's shoulders for a variety of reasons.
I have to say though, I still really liked the first one, and if I hadn't got bored of waiting for the PS3 to get it's act together and bought a 360 instead, I'd be buying this and Sony's black behemoth along with it.

No one is looking forward to Eurogamer review since eugamer gave Fable 2---a mediocre game 10/10

Everyone is looking forward to IGN review and i am sure KZ2 has a chance to get 10/10 there
BTW this is Microsoft GAMER aka EUROGAMER
so i predict a 9/10

That's bullshit - PS3 needs a killer app for PS3 and it's needed one for a while.
Unless LBP got a PS3 in every home and we're all keeping it a giggly little secret, or GT5 has been brought forward to come out this side of the year 3000.
Sony will be very much hoping that game is Killzone 2.

I disagree, and I also disagree it's outdated. A killer app is a title that undeniably causes a big shift in sales. Much as it pains me to say it, Peter Molyneux was right in that the PS3 doesn't have a title that defines it's place in the market. Right now, Sony is living off the Playstation brand which it's almost done it's best to kill through numerous mistakes and the fact that it plays Blu-Rays.
As long as exclusives exist, and they still do, then killer apps can too.
If you hear down the pub what a great game Killzone 2 is, and your mates go out and buy a PS3 because of it, and that happens enough all over the country.. then it's still possible, reduced as it may be from previous generations.

Who gives a shit what Sony needs. All that matters is that I need this game. I predict a controversial 7/10, and the imminent implosion of the internetz.

Eurogamer gave Halo 3 10/10 . Fable 2 (an 89% rating at meta) 10/10 ......... The small gaming website EUROGAMER can give the game a low score to boost traffic TEMPORARILY. But who cares when IGN's review will be posted tomorrow
On the other hand

MS2 - 7/10

The website should be renamed as MICROSOFT -EUROGAMER

Comment below viewing threshold Show
Killzone 2 is under pressure to be a good game. That changes the way it's reviewed, because it's looked at with more scrutiny. If it lives up to the hype and gets great review scores despite that pressure, then people will consider it a 'must have', and might view the price of the PS3 to be good value for money.
Consumers don't see the PS3 to currently be good value for money. That's because most of the big titles are also available on 360, which is much cheaper than a PS3. If you have to pay more for a PS3 but get a game you want and can't have on 360, and a lot of people feel the same, then it will sell a lot of consoles. Hence, a killer app.
I'm happy to make sense of these things for you.

Also I think those preview videos have worked wonders too. Since they went up in early December I've added ten of my XBL friends to my Playstation friend list (none of them expressed interest in owning a PS3 before). I expect many more to fellow soon after through word of mouth.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
It's being released at the worst time ever though. It's had tons of money spent on it due to that bloody fake video crap back in 2005, it's getting squeaked out in a bad Feburary on a £300 console during a really bad recession. Unless Sony are keeping a price cut under really close wraps, I've got the feeling this is gonna pancake regardless of quality, and I think it might be a deliberate ploy by Sony to swing the axe at Guerilla: "hey guys, didn't recoup your costs, byeeee".
Shouldn't stop PS3 owners going out and enjoying the thing though.

It may just bridge a nice gap between full on action and a more "tactical" shooter. Allowing both types of play and leaving it up to the player to chose which way they want to play it. From footage there are obviously times where it is more action based, you don't have to peer round each corner and plan your route, there are levels which do support a more thoughtful approach though.
One thing they will have to get right is respawns. These ruin a lot of the possible "tactical" elements of CoD SP because there is no point holding back and taking out the key players from distance, when the buggers just respawn because you haven't past the bleedin trigger point yet.
NB: For "Tactical" read "More Considered" if you like
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Thanks, Mr. Greenberg. That review tomorrow, though, is (hopefully) about the game and its merits (or the lack thereof), and whether it holds up as the worthwhile experience it set out to be, and not about how many copies this shifts or what it does to some random brand which I happen to own next to a dozen other random brands in my living room.

Graphics - 10 (The best looking FPS on a console yet)
Gameplay - 7 (same old Killzone gameplay unfortunately and no big advancements)
Story - 6 (Not that great and the characters are kinda generic)
Multiplayer - 8 (Just a guess)
Longevity - 8 (Not as good as COD but better than RFOM)
Having played both Killzone 1 and Liberation on the PSP I'm interested in seeing the next development of this franchise.

Cons: can't support keyboard and mouse like UT III in PS3.
Conclusions: must have if you have a PS3 and think that to play shooters with pad is good, but UT III still wins to me. This takes not into consideration Jook: Jook can play in a pad as well as with a k&m -also, He is not human-.
Score: who cares? I don't.

They have consistently given PlayStation (all generations) games lower marks than the crappiest Nintendo titles, and I mean from the N64 days...N64! I think they single-handedly were the original mag to elevate Golden Eye to the level of 'best FPS of all time', because I remember they went on and on and on about it.
The only PlayStation game that ever got a decent score was the first Gran Turismo, 10/10, which was classed as "the PlayStation killer app has arrived" or words to that effect.
As a matter of fact, I stopped subscribing to EDGE because of the their bias towards Nintendo, which is still evident to this day.

I'm not sure whether it is so smart to not have a review embargo TBH. Not letting reviewers release their score till (or after) the day of release is not a good sign of course but having reviews come out a month before release isn't smart from a momentum building perspective IMO.

And embargos ending on the same day as a game is released, can be used to block bad reviews from hurting early sales.

True but from a hype perspective it's stupid. And besides, I think a significant part of the audience that Sony wants to reach with the title will not read reviews anyway (other than the ones printed or stickered on the box).

Congrats on getting the exclusive, guys.

To be honest, with the rabid nature of the EG comment crowd, they could have every staff member write an individual review and offer their own review score - and it would still be hammered by everyone here (99% of whom haven't played it)
In an ideal world they would blow everyones mind and just post a comprehensive review with no score at the end, that would be fascinating (and force people to read instead of clicking through to page 4 and scrolling down)
Comment below viewing threshold Show
"It's brutal, sometimes fussily so, and many will find its unforgiving nature a turn-off. Plenty more, however, should relish a high-profile game with a truly hardcore style, especially with production values as polished as this."
So the score it gets depends if EG are hard core FPS fans or not I guess
I predict 8 from EG, but hope I'm wrong and it gets a 9.

Why does that matter though? I bought Endless Ocean (which scored a 6!) and it was easily one of the most unique and enjoyable gaming experiences I've enjoyed for a long long time. Did the EG score make any difference to my enjoyment of it? Of course it didn't.
I can't see why anyone would 'hope' for one score or another, chances are there will be enough in the review text to help you decide if you want it anyhow, in which case anything over a 5 if probably going to suffice.

Like? or am I supposed to guess?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
I don't think (for once) EG have to worry about the hit count as a reason to sway the review. Apart from the exclusive which will have half the gaming world coming to see, a low score means millions of Xbots baiting Sonnys who scream M$ bribery, a high score the opposite. Either way, EG's servers (and the Ignore Poster button) are in for one heck of a workout.
Sod the score - I just want the game to be good.

That one did amuse me slighly, 2009 onwards, so if they start now the next game that has had this much effort put in will be 2013...
The only reason the PS2 got pushed so hard is becuase it was in the interest of the companys making them to be the lead on the lead platform.
The PS3 isn't the lead platform.

So better graphics = 10/10 if I follow that statement.

killzone2 on the other hand is a huge leap over killzone1. and then betters gears2.
at minimum it gets a 9.
The perfect ten?
A score of ten reflects a game that, within the reviewer's estimation, is something you must buy: this is the message we're trying to convey. On a basic level it's almost certainly the best quality game ever seen within the context of its genre, and that's why Eurogamer doesn't dish them out very often. A score of 10 usually applies to less than a trio of games in any given year.

I’ve actually been a little disappointed with gameplay footage of KZ2 because of the ridiculous hype. I think much of it is down to system wars or some kind of mass hypnosis. Despite all of that, I’m still looking forward to trying the game for myself.

From what I understand the game is indeed very beautiful and the best looking of all consoles BUT not without flaws ie according to OPM.
a) First few levels are not challenging (sarky comment about Heleghast being told to go easy on you!)
b) Some things feel a bit off; only one man in whole army who is trained to hack door lock
c) Brief screen-freezing loading pause mid game
d) Horrible difficulty spike at the end
However EG accorded the arbitary and subjective score, which most of us guess to be likely between 8-10, still nothing would stop me from getting the game as I consider myself an incomplete gamer until I have played the game!

Real fanboys, you mean! Read their Killzone 2 thread recently? It's a horrible car-crash of delusional fanboy wonder.

Xcept you got a number of beta testers on there posting their opinions together with some people that had preview builds.
Anyway - how is it fanboyish to say that you've played a game and you love it? Personally I get much more pissed off with people that say its shit or awesome a game is when all they've done is watch some vids.

Well done EG, very well done.

From the looks of the gameplay videos, I think this is a genuinely NEXT-GEN game.
