  • What a poor review. I'm doubting you actually played the game. I hope Sony puts out a list of sites they gave the game to, I'm almost willing to say I won't be seeing this site on it. You don't say dick that I can't find on another site, but they said it earlier.

    "...but most are armoured up the eyeballs. Unless you bag a headshot, they’ll soak up bullets like they’re going out of fashion".

    --No fuckin' shit. Armor tends to do that.

    --You're complaining that armor actually does it's job, unlike other games where no one wears even a helmet, but enemies can take two to the skull with even a pistol, and still kill you. Amazing.

    "Particularly during the first few levels you’ll wonder just what could have been if you’d taken part in that brief piece of action, rather than let the game show you what happens."

    --Welcome to gaming 101. We've seen this in games like Resistance, Gears, halo, Uncharted and other games...

    "Though the majority of the Helghast army is made up of identikit foot soldiers, there are a few other varieties to spice things up a touch. Certain more acrobatic Helghast have no shame in rushing at you waving a knife at your face, and the huge hulking enemies packing huge machine guns need to be worked around so you can blast the handy exploding bottles strapped to their backs."

    No, and I mean, NO details on gameplay. Just be honest. You haven't played this, have you? And that's all the detail you can muster on all of the enemies? Not including the flying robotic boss you have to take out? The gameplay that takes place on tanks? None of that. Get the fuck outta here.

  • Give us proof! We want proof! No more lies for the sake of website hits... Posted by Michael Roy, canada
  • Pathetic review. I guess playing the game is not a requirement for writing a review on this site. Posted by Hal, USA
  • Thanks for your comments everyone, however just to confirm we did play the game here in the office and have been for around 2 weeks. First by myself and then Chris P our games reviewer.

    Chris' review is I think very fair. I personally found the game to be good, but no better than Gears of War, and as Chris says lacking that certain something to make it great.

    With so many First Person Shooters available on the PS3 Killzone 2 really has to push the boundarires, especially to make you want to pay out for it against other titles that are no doubt cheaper now they have been around for a while.

    Yes graphics look tasty, yes the gameplay is good. But in this case tasty and good don't equal 9/10

  • ^^^Wow! Wasn't that a biased statement. No better then GeoW? So great graphics and great gameplay doesn't make a great game? WTF? What does then? Story? What FPS has a great story n still have a powerful multiplayer( so no HL2 or BioShock)? Last time I checked GAMEplay is the most important thing in a GAME! Great graphics are a bonus that helps to bring you into the action. All the enemies are the same? There are 13 different enemies not counting the bosses. CoD4's enemies all looked the same. They never said they were going to make anything revolutionary except to make you feel like you are in a warzone and they did that in spades. The only ones who said they were going to make something revolutionary was the media. I hate when the media bashes a game because it doesn't meet their expectations. Like stating it as a Halo killer. WTF is that? That was a media statement not a developer statement. Posted by BaneofMan, us
  • I have never heard of this site before, someone points me to this stupid (bashing) review.

    well i dont know what you gave Gears of War 2 as a rating. But Killzone 2 will surpasses GeoW 2 with ease, bacause GeoW 2 multiplayer is broken as it can be. So the highest score for GeoW 2 would be, lets say 10 for SP en 1 for MP and that would be 5,5 as a rating. Yes GeoW 2 is terrible and you guys enjoy it more because you are fucking fools. you cant even do a review so stop posting stupid bashing reviews. Bunch of fuckers. Killzone 2 will own this site.

  • Wow, some people are really paranoid. Do you guys have so little self-esteem that you can't handle a little criticism of a computer game? You think everything is bashing even when it reads positively. Jesus, don't take yourselves to serious ffs! Posted by The Advocate of Devilled Kidneys, Eire
