Killzone 2


The 3rd and the immortal piece, Play.

Been nearly a year since I purchased the gaming behemoth PS3. Played through tons o' games yet took me almost a year to meet the game that shines, rocks and bleeds the way this powerhouse promised to provide. Sony Computer Entertainment is really keen on the exclusive titles for the company's console, since Xbox-360 costs much cheaper and their games can be downloaded, PS3 is pushed to bring out its best guns in order to provide challenge with PS3's challenging price tag for both hardware and software. So far the exclusives were all met with critical acclaim and fan praise; the legendary follow up to the Metal Gear Solid series MGS4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Resistance franchise, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet and Heavenly Sword. All provided great gameplay and some of them were praised as the modern classics of the gaming world and now SCE released the ultimate shooter that may not be the best FPS ever but without doubt the greatest looking game ever; Killzone 2!


Just press START and see for your eyes, this game is gonna convince you to buy a PS3, not because of its perfection, great gaming mechanics or ultimate AI, you're gonna dig it because you're gonna wake up every day just to play one level of it and adore what you're seeing on your HDTV! This is ultimate! 1080i at its best! Huge levels with tremendous action, anything is destructible and yet even the debris, corpses or whatever's left of your enemies look sublime. Gameplay is easy to learn but takes time to perfect, story however is a huge pile of cliché and even the most dramatic moment is presented as if it happens every single day of your life but who cares? Screw the cutscenes for once, the original gameplay looks way better! Single play scenario ain't no brainer and takes a one-night-stand effort for experienced shooters. The real fun is hidden in the multiplayer, Killzone 2 offers the greatest multiplayer experience since Quake 3, and it's not that simple shoot/frag count bash anymore, every member in a group has different roles and they earn points for doing their job, not for headshots. So if u're a medic, put that syringe into good use instead of your gunslinger skills which you probably did not study in the medschool.

There are more upcoming exclusive titles to PS3 but Killzone 2 is without a doubt, one of the stars that's going to shine for a long long time!
