Ok. First off I read the game reccomendation thread, and I didnt see this as violating board rules etc.

So. Im looking at these 2 games, and wondering which one I should purchase. On one hand I look at Resistance 2. It looks fun, fast paced, and the multiplayer maps look well designed, and colorful.

On the other hand. I have Killzone 2. Great graphics, dark maps, lots of gray tones, and not a large variety weapon wise. Also I think the multiplayer maps look very depressing, and poorly designed, but the game looks to have pretty good gameplay.

Im curious which one I should go for. I like having tons of replayability, and also enjoy twitch shooters, aswell as slow paced shooters.

Some of the FPS games I love include:

CoD 4 (love this game)

Rainbow Six Vegas (Looking back on the fun I had with rainbow six vegas 1, I really loved that game.)

Halo 3 (Without a doubt one of the best games to play online, and with friends. I loved playing split screen competitive.)

Battlefield (From battlefield bad company to battlefield 1943. I love battlefield too.)

Out of the information I provided, which game would you reccomend for me? Also do you personally prefer resistance 2 or killzone 2?

Thats a tough decision. Personally, Ive never played Resistance 2, but I have played Killzone, and its amazing. If you are a fan of COD and Battlefield, then it will be hard to switch between controls on Killzone 2 and COD.

You can always change your control setting on KZ2 to Alt 2 (CoD4/5 layout) and turn on precision mode. I like KZ2 alot more than R2. I haven't played the actual R2 game but judging by the R2 beta. It made me not want to buy the game.

I agree with this. Resistance 2 seemed too staged. I don't know how to put it exactly, while it was fun it just came off as canned. Killzone2 is a better game. If you like online games you might look to pick up Warhawk as well. It's an older game and the graphics aren't anything special, but it's just a really fun online game.

Yup ive played warhawk. Me and my 360 fanboy friend love it so much. You say staged, but I dont care about singleplayer. Multiplayer is where its at. Also state the reason why ones better than the other please.

I'd go for Killzone 2. The graphics are amazing and the game play is a lot better than R2. It seems like you're floating in R2 when playing.

Well i don't play either anymore but i enjoyed R2 single player campaign a lot more than the KZ2 campaign. I did however play KZ2 MP longer than R2(i only played about 4 matches in R2). Though i quit playing KZ2 cause all my friends didn't want to play KZ2 cause of the controls.

I have both and I can honestly say Resistance 2. Killzone 2 isn't anything new. It looks great, plays alright and has a nice singeplayer to top it off. Multiplayer is frustrating at times but that's why they have clans. Also, take note that Killzone 2 allows In-game Music to be played. Resistance 2, while I was playing it, was great frantic fun. The weapons are nice and varied. Singleplayer had much better atmosphere and boss fights compared to Killzone 2 and multiplayer was utter chaos. Oh though choosing weapons is a bad ideal in my opinion and you'll be killed in seconds by people who use the Pulse Canon and LAARK (which I do use myself. Hey! I earned it!). Resistance 2 also has Splitscreen, online and offline plus co-op. My time with Killzone 2 was a little dark and I hardly give it a chance as it sits on my shelf but I did enjoy it before and it was fun. However, Resistance 2 felt like it lasted longer in terms of fun.

Shoot, when you said you liked COD4, that just proved KZ2,
but you said you liked Halo, so that changed it to Resistance 2.

Go Resistance. Trust me.

I think Killzone 2

Resistance 2 was good, but its visuals were inconsistent in various levels

... Killzone reminds you of COD? There like... polar opposites of FPS MP games in my opinion.

Get Killzone 2. They are both really good though, but Killzone 2 sounds more like your kind of game.

From what you said and props for liking R6V as that is one my most fun games especially slit-screen with my g/f. Well resistance 2 is a better game with better controls and weapon selections. I couldn't stand the horrible aiming controls in KZ2 and from what I read if you like COD4 you probably won't like KZ2's controls. R2 also has splitscreen which is only good online. Offline is kind of broke. KZ2 has no splitscreen at all. I have heared that KZ2 has great Mulitplayer and that their is a fix for the controls for the online portion but I can't comment since I haven't played it. I will say that R2 online co-op is a lot of fun. I just hark back to KZ2's horrible controls. Go with R2(I like this better than RFOM except for offline co-op)which to me is better than KZ2.

TC I disagree w/ your comments on game design for both. KZ2 has much better designed maps and more interesting multiplayer. R2 has better story, more variety, and awesome coop but KZ2 has better graphics, better feel, and better enemy AI. Both are excellent games but if I had to pick I'd chose KZ2. I think that ps3 owners that like FPS should own both games

If you want a more arcade like game go with R2.

If you want a more tactical game go with K2.

On a side note Killzone 2 has some of the best made multi player maps of all time. All of them seem to implement verticalty(designed to be played on multiple floors) in them that most shooters lack.

Killzone 2! I sometimes have my issues with MP but it's definitely addictive. I sold my copy of Resistance 2 because it was just tedious and boring to play. Co-op at first is fun but quickly becomes just another gimmick. I need to go buy a copy of R6V, haven't played that since I sold my 360... the Co-op mp on that was hella fun busting into places and taking out all the enemies with a mate, doesn't get better imo.
