Killzone Comments by Kristan Reed

Hope to pick this up cheap in the post Xmas sales. I really want to take this game online.

S'funny the reviews seem to be panning it, but its riding quite high in Game Stats popularity charts (above Halo 2) and just you try getting a cheap version of this on Ebay....People still willing to pay top dollar...grrrr.

I thought Killzone wasn't that bad. It certainly got boring after a certain amount of time, and the gameplay was repetitive, but the graphics are certainly some of the very best the PS2 has to offer. The Helghast are quite creepy too. When you hear their voices, you begin to creep slowly, looking for them. The AI has serious problems though. I encountered one instance when I ran into a room only for three Helghast soldiers to stand and look at me. I killed one of them to see if anything would happen. Nothing.
Might pick it up in the sales. And if anyone really wants it, when you buy a game you can get Killzone for £20. It's at Gamestation, but I'm not sure if it's still on.

This is a good game just finished it. I liked it better than Halo or Halo2.

WHY???

You see Halo is a childish game to me. All the bright colors, Jumping like a frog on a hot platter is just not my style. If I wanted something fake TimeSpliters is perferable.

Killzone is more slow more like an slower paced game with lots of action happening all around. There are several things different from halo

1. Hidding places= there are plentyof places to take cover behind.
2. Aiming = different guns have different aiming and kick (when shooting thegun.

All and all this game was fun and great to play. If you liked TS, halo, Tribs, UC. then this game may not be for you. But if you like a slower more realistic game then this could be the game for you.

Just picked this up today and I'm on the "docks level" I think as far as FPS' on the PS2 go, this game is pretty good along with Timesplitters 2. It can't hold a candle to Halo or Halo 2 but I still found it to be enjoyable and no more of a grind than Halo 2 (which is just not as much fun to play as Halo) The main problem is the PS2 just can't cope with giving the gamer a solid game world, half the levels feel like sets and that the walls would fall over if you ran into them. Fortunately this is only noticable on some levels and the game forces you on at a steady pace so you don't have much time to stare at the scenery. It give it a higher mark, but only if you don't have another console or PC and are into your FPS's

As with most things it falls down to personal opinon its like some people like indian some like chinese some like Halo some like killzone

Picked this up the other day and must say I like it. After Quake 2 and the first Unreal I grew kind of tired of FPS games. I did try Unreal Tournament 2004 but it wasn’t really my kind of game. I guess I’m not into the running and bunny hopping. Might also explain why, besides the terrible art direction and pointless leveling up system, I don’t like Oblivion’s game mechanics much either. On the consoles I did enjoy Time Splitters 2 but mainly because playing splitscreen multiplayer is always fun.

Recently I started playing the Resistance demo that I downloaded from the PSN and I liked it (while The Darknes did little to me and I can’t get myself to actually booting up the GRAW2 demo), so I decided to give the FPS genre another try. With Killzone being the cheapest FPS available that I can play on the PS3, I decided to pick it up and I don’t regret it.

I like the more deliberate pacing of this game: going gung-ho is sure to get you killed in seconds. Despite the SF setting, the game is quite realistic: No strange jumps, reloading takes quite some time (which enemies exploit but you can exploit as well), human-like enemies and no carrying 10 or so guns around. Framerate isn’t very impressive but it certainly is playable. Art direction is great. Have no issues with the controls TBH but might be due to my limited exposure to console FPSs. I’m only halfway through the second chapter so maybe by the end I’ll grow tired of the Helghast enemies.

Other than it being an FPS, it’s not got much in common with Halo. Because of the more realistic approach it baffles me that this was ever marketed as a Halo-beater. This game is less accessible and will probably appeal to a more limited audience than Halo. I hope they’ll not dumb down Killzone 2 to make it more accessible because that would destroy it’s appeal to me.

bloody rubbish!
