Review: Killzone 2 – Technically brilliant, and yet...

Entertainment



Another feature nicked from other games of this ilk is the use of cover.  From our early code preview I commented that “The cover system is a little flaky at the moment, ducking behind a wall works, but you are not locked in as in other games, and it takes a bit of practice to blind fire, or even realise you are in cover. “

This hasn't changed in the final build, and is something that takes a bit of getting used to.

Haven't had much of a go with the multiplayer aspect of Killzone 2, so it is a little hard to judge how it will fair over the free PlayStation Network.  The inclusion of an offline mode against bots is a great way to hone your skills for the online big time though.


Yep!  It's Space Marines, but at least they are not shooting aliens this time.  So long as a deep story line is not high on your list of requirements, and you don't mind the odd 'F' bomb dropped during cuts-scenes, then Killzone 2 ticks all the boxes.

In the long run Killzone 2 is a satisfying chase through a hostile environment, pursuing a ruthless and tough opponent.  Killzone 2 takes much of the good bits from other games and brings them to a single title.  As such the game comes across quite polished and competent. 

Though there are a couple of times that script trigger points are missed, causing a little frustrations, and the difficulty level (even before unlocking the top setting) is challenging, the experience is a solid one.  For PS3 shooter fans that have completed Resistance 2 , this one is the next clip to slam into the breach.kz2_spscreen_10.jpg
