Killzone 2 is one of those happy moments where something has so much anticipation built up behind it before release, and it does not disappoint.

Shooters have replaced fighting games as the most over-saturated genre in gaming today, and it's increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd.

Killzone 2 is a solid FPS game and while it doesn't exactly break a lot of new ground it's one of the best shooters on the market.

So, is Killzone 2 everything it’s meant to be? Does it live up to the hype? Of course it does, and thus it absolutely warrants a 5/5 score.

Killzone 2 successfully iterates upon the formulas and standards of console first-person shooters in ways that make it feel fresh, and it does all that while looking absolutely outstanding.

At the end of the day, logic predicts that a game with an intense single-player campaign and a killer multiplayer element is a win-win situation in anyone's book.

PSX Extreme
Killzone 2 lives up to every one of its promises, and considering the bar it set for itself in 2005, that's a lot of promises to live up to. Ultimately, we have a game that strikes the perfect balance between a single-player and multiplayer experience.

When it comes to gameplay, the very lynchpin of videogame performance, there may be some tempted to point accusatory fingers at Killzone 2 for its reliance on the established first-person shooter blueprint.

Overall, Killzone 2 is a gorgeous piece of gaming art, with a great story and a compelling and sometimes challenging single player campaign.

It's on the outside where Killzone 2 does the most to amaze the player - the graphics are, without doubt, the best graphics I've seen in a console first person shooter.

There’s much to celebrate in Killzone 2. A solid campaign, an ever-mutating multiplayer and a graphical leap for mankind.

IGN
Is it possible for the hype of a game to completely fuel both its designers and its fans eagerly awaiting its release? In the case of Guerrilla Games' upcoming Killzone 2, the answer is an emphatic yes; the developers knew that they wanted to meet or surp

That aside, though, Killzone 2 is an incredible romp into a franchise that is intense and graphically pleasing.

At E3 2005 we were introduced to Killzone 2. Sony showed pre-rendered footage but offered no explanation beyond the promise that it would look as good as the CGI being thrown on the screen.

For a developer whose previous games have been little more than average, Killzone 2 is a landmark achievement.

Consider the simplistic storyline a training ground for the surprisingly varied online game, and overdose on visual splendor every step of the way.

The irony here is that whereas Sony introduced the first, deeply disappointing, Killzone whilst in a position of unparalleled dominance (even five years on the PS2 is still a going sales concern), Killzone 2, this strangely beautiful testament to the indu

No one could have suspected that the sequel to 2004's Killzone would be this good. Killzone 2 is a tremendous package, offering an exciting campaign and terrific competitive online play, neither of which create new paradigms for first-person shooters,

Killzone 2 continues directly from the events of the first game, in which Helghast forces have been pushed back from the planet Vekta by ISA defenders.

Interesting, yes, and even a little reflective of the situation on Earth these days, but do you really need a reason to whip out an assault rifle and some grenades for the purpose of killing "them" before they kill "you?" Not in the world of video games,

Worth Playing
There was a time when we all laughed at Sony and the PlayStation's supposedly "killer app," Killzone. The original game was a fair but derivative affair, plagued with dumb enemies, so-so graphics and just a whole lot of mediocrity.

While Killzone has a rich backstory and plenty of depth, Guerrilla has always seen fit to completely ignore such details in the games themselves, and sadly Killzone 2 is no exception.

Killzone 2 is op het eerste gezicht een ‘gewone’ goede shooter, maar weet op een paar punten zo te excelleren, dat het de lat in het genre een stuk hoger legt. Laten we beginnen met de intelligentie van de tegenstanders.

Writing this review for Killzone 2 is actually a really challenging endeavor, more because of my truly torn feelings every which way that I had to really check myself before I sat down to review this game.

As many people know, I'm a stickler for games with great presentation and entertainment; if a game isn't fun, what's the point in playing it? In both areas, Killzone 2 delivers in spades.

n the four years that we’ve known about it, Killzone 2 has been all but defined by one incident, so let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: yes, Killzone 2 lives up to the infamous “target footage” clip that roused legions of skeptics at

Yes. Definitely, yes. This is as solid a shooter as PlayStation fans and hardcore early-adopters have been hoping for, with scope, features and all-round excellent production values for a game that came from decidedly iffy PS2 roots.

Fortunately, Killzone 2 makes it easy to ignore them. Let those with vested interests debate the pointless minutiae. For those pining for a muscular, aggressive military shooter, whose console has the biggest balls soon becomes a minor concern.

Then there are the animations. Oh, the glorious animations. In many ways, the Helghast, or "cockney Nazis", steal the show from Killzone 2's disappointingly generic Alpha Squad.
