Killzone 2, and the reason I’m not disappointed I got a PS3.
I got my PS3 on the basis, that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be the most amazing game experience ever created, and two an extent it was – It finished of the series well, and tied up many of the loose ends in the story. It had nice graphics, and brilliant MGS style gameplay. However after finishing the game some big things stood out to me as drawbacks.
The gameplay that was put into the game was much more action based than the original metal gear.
On my first play though I noticed that it was easier and quicker to shoot your way though the game in FPS mode rather than sneak around. Another drawback was the extremely long load time, although at the start of each chapter of the game the disc mentioned “installing” when you went to replay another chapter it would have to “install” again.
After purchasing Metal Hear Solid I became addicted to Call of Duty 4, and then Later Call of Duty 5, both of which were great games, albeit the terrible character models in Call of Duty 5 (fuck treyarch you’re damn lucky you put Nacht der untoten in.)
Being a big fan of Killzone, Great story, Great Characters.
The gameplay was also really good – Possibly the first FPS I played that allowed you to “Stealth Kill” enemies when you had not been detected.
It had it’s bugs, and the multiplayer was quite poor (3 maps, what were they thinking)
If you haven’t seen or played Killzone 1, take a look below at the clips.
Killzone 1 Introduction

After reading the article and watching the video below I was pretty much in the mode for Killzone 2
The graphics look exceptional, the gameplay however looks slightly lacking – perhaps worth a rent before you decide to buy it.
However if it turns out this is another fantastic game?
I’ll be finally glad I brought my PS3.
