SPOILERS DO NOT READ IFDONT WANT TO SPOIL THINGS

I know there is a sticky but I can't help myself I know I will get suspended or worse but this game is definitely worth to spread the news out since no one is replying that much in the sticky... anyways ENJOY

Also for those questioning the crediblity of the site look at there past reviews for ps3 games, xbox 360 games ,wii games and such. They are also listed on metacritic and game rankings so this is a legit site.

First real online review of killzone 2 VERY VERY GOOD READ

http://www.megamers.com/playstation3/review.php?game_category=8&article_id=3557

Final score 9.9 out of 10

highlights

Intro

"Throughout the years, being an extremist that I am, console games like Halo 3 only managed a "hmmmm", while few others like Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2 never went beyond the "meh" factor. After the recent buzz and hype behind Sony's upcoming FPS, I decided to sit down and spend some quality time with the game and I cannot deny the truth… Killzone 2 has made me a believer!"

On enemy AI

"Apart from your team mates, the Helghast can prove to be quite a formidable lot using cover effectively when needed while sometimes running crazy at you for a vicious melee attack. Though, you will be fighting in squads for the most part, you will sometimes be left to fend for yourself; that along with being tasked to revive squad mates make for a primordial war scene."

Graphics

" Graphically, Killzone 2 is the BEST looking game on a console so far. With its myriad post-processing effects and textures running on the screen, it's apparent that the game is in a league of its own. Every little detail has been given attention like the sparks flying off when bullet meets metal or the intricately crafted gun models. To further up the ante, sand bags can no longer be used as fortresses and columns crumble realistically when introduced to a grenade."

Online Play

"Though the multiplayer is reminiscent of Team Fortress 2, the game takes it one step further and offers an intense "on-your-toes" action. Packing in a vast array of weapons and ****s, Killzone 2 proves to be the epitome of fiery fragdom offering hours of fun long after you're done with the story mode. What really made us raise our brows is "Warzone", a continuously shifting battlefield with different game-types chained into one EPIC online fragfest! Another welcome addition is the clan system that allows you to better network with you friends and organize tournaments albeit using an in-game system of "cash" to place bets."

Closing comments

"To put it short, this game makes Gears of War 2 look like a high school attempt at gaming and that is a HUGE compliment!"

Strong reviews are good and all, but I want this game in my ps3 so I can make my own decision. It is my most anticipated game this year and one of the top 3 reasons for me to buy a ps3. I can't wait

Looking good so far, but to me, an FPS can only go so far on the scale of awesomeness.

Read the review, and its fully what I'm expecting. I'm starting to not see this as hype anymore, and I fully trust that this particular reviewer was fairly objective and unbiased from the start. Keep in mind that he is a self-proclaimed PC gamer and fanboy and didn't have much respect for console FPS', and therefore had fairly low expectations for the title. That considered, I think this was a very accurate review. Come on February. Bring on the awesome.

to each their own, but I agree with the_mailman. How R2 got a 9 is BEYOND me. Horrible game and definately overhyped, especially on these boards.

It got above a 9 because it had a single player campaign, 8 player co-op, and a lag free 60 player online mode. I know the saying goes "it's quality, not quantity", but this game had both.

Or from unknown magazines. Remember when the portuguese PSM3 gave NFS: Undercover an 89%? For shame. I never trusted first reviews again...

Except that these guys are on metacritic, and they gave halo 3 a 98 and Gears 2 a 97, which makes the last line super hilarious.

I don't think R2 is overhyped at all. I find more people hate it than like it on this board lol. That being said, I enjoyed the game. I liked CoD 4 a bit better, but R2 still is a good game in it's own right.

i loved r2. i was at my peak r2 excitement when my system broke. when i got ps3 back i started W@W and now I can see why people dont like r2. i still do enjoy the multiplayer of r2 from time to time.

ive never heard of this site, but it seems their review scores are about right. Looks like they do like to give out 9's but their farcry 2 and cod waw is pretty much spot on to what id give them. Lets hope they've got this one right.

As much as this game has been hyped it should of gotten a 11 out of 10. Disappointed.
