9.0 is an awesome score, you just have to accept the fact that the game isn't perfect.

I know it's frustrating not having a 10 on "your" game...

When you wait and wait for a game to come out, and it's so hyped... you expect the game to have great score.

But it's just numbers, it's just how they think the game was, if you think the game deserve a 10, just write your own review!

OH GOD!! When will you fanboys realize that reviews are based off of someone else's opinions, SO WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT A GAME GETS?!!! Do you like the game? DO YOU HAVE IT?! You tc's who make these "Why did this game not get a 9.0 or 10?" really need to snap out of it.

Because the cover system was a revolutionary thing back in 2006, when the game was reviewed. It's probably worth noting that Gears of War 2 got a 9.

Comparing a 2006 game to a 2009 game? How fanboyish of you. Comparing a FPS to a TPS, huh? And you could say Killzone 2 has the same "cover, shoot, run" method, but that doesn't tell the whole story. BTW I love Killzone 2.

IMO, after completing the game, I'd give the single player an 8.5 because it wasn't that special considering the hype the game was given and was too damn short and the story was boring not to mention those hiccups at each damn checkpoint and saving :evil:. Anyway, the online makes up for it which is a 9.0 because it still doesn't exceed COD4's experience. Overall, KZ2 is an 8.7 and I'm being generous tbh.

When reviewing a game, you have to look at the whole package. Indeed, the game looks absolutely stunning, it has tight gunplay and smart AI. However, it lacks almost any innovation, which isn't such a big deal but still, and it's story is almost nonexistent. Additionally, the story is only 9 hours long. To get a 10, it has to excel in all those categories and additionally add some stuff that no-one could ever have expected, something that had never appeared in a game. And taking in account the ridiculously high standards people have nowadays, 9.0 is actually an incredible score (LBP got the same score, for example).

When you're a fanboy, any exclusive receiving less than a 10 is blasphemy and deserves a whole complain thread about it because combatting the enemy's games with our games is the utmost priority if we are to win the... "war."

Also, Killzone 2 does not deserve a 9.0.

It deserves a 9.5 because I said so and my opinion is fact. GameSpot isn't allowed to have a differing opinion.

Killzone 2 didnt get a better review score because of a lack of split-screen and no co-op of any kind.

Why are you complaining about a 9????!!!!!! You realize that means the game is outstanding. This is the problem with the newest generation of gamers. If it doesn't score a 9 or above, it obviously can't be good. I'm 17 and I've been gaming since I was 4 so don't think I'm some old man. I've just been playing for a long time. But seriously, I have alot of friends who play games and the ones who have played games for a long time realize what the scores mean(6 average, 7 good, 8 great, etc.) while the rest of them do something like this, "WTF, that game got an 8.5? It obviously must suck." 2 things wrong with that statement. 1) Why does it matter if someone didn't think it was near perfect? If you do, then great. I'm glad that someone bought a game and really enjoyed it as that is the whole point. 2) Considering an 8.5(or in this case a 9) means the game is great or outstanding, how can you really complain?

I'm not surprised that it only got a 9.0, they never seemed especially enthusiastic when talking about it. It's still a great score, though.

If they can give Gears 2 a 9.5 after it didn't change much of anything from the first one, and with it's awful glitched out mp, KZ2 should get a 9.5...........
