A gunmans gunny adventures in gunland, with guns.

User Rating: 7.5 | Killzone 2 PS3
Killzone has always been a series focused on gripping story and iconic gameplay and as the descendent of the original Ps2 release, it takes every bar set and racks it upwards ultimately to the point where calling it "uninspired" or "generic" is a crime.

The graphics are immediately stunning and gritty and remain glorious all throughout the experience. The games visuals are compelling as well as immersive, from the very beginning you are jerked into a universe of war and despair that reminds you that wars touch is corruptive and sometimes not willingly embraced.

The voices of your brothers in arms quake with fear and anger with clarity as though they are directly speaking to you, their dialogue is both alarmingly human as well as amusing. In the fires of war gunshots hammer away the desolate silence of your immediate surroundings until the last combatant is bloodily sent to his departure from existence, and the waves of choking silence wash back in as you and your allies continue onwards whilst faroff artillery claps and the songs of Helghens many storms produce an effective feeling of desolation.

Like in all war (and all shooters) the battlefield offers a generous suite of weaponry that gets the job done reliably so long as the wielder has sufficient skill in the specific weapons use.

But you won't spend your time on Helghen just pursuing campaign objectives, you'll be face to face against rival players in Multiplayer where all the skills you've gathered will be stressed and your abilities expand with each valiant slaying of the enemy, fair play is non existent, every advantage you possess will be need to be capitalized upon to wrastle you and your team a deserved victory.
