Product Description

Get ready to take on the full strength of the Helghast war machine from a dramatic first-person perspective with Killzone 2 for PS3. From Guerilla Games, this much anticipated follow-up to Killzone for PS2 and Killzone: Liberation for PSP drops you right into the boots of battle hardened special forces soldier Sev. Set two years after the aborted Helghast assault on Vekta, the action opens with your ISA Legion squad deployed behind enemy lines on the Helghan's unforgiving home turf.
Combat Lifelike AI and Inhospitable Terrain
Despite the smooth character animations and swift-thinking AI behind each individual Helghan, their planet itself may be the most deceptive opponent that you face. Unlike other game environments that serve as nothing more than a visual backdrop, the devastating Helghan climate takes a notable toll. And, worst of all, the Helghans know exactly how to use the planet against you.
 Motion blurs and studio-grade special effects bring battle to life. View larger. |
 First-person viewpoints and 7.1 surround sound keep you immersed. View larger. |
 Realistic lighting and detailed environments add a cinematic quality. View larger. |
 Smooth animation and improved AI give the Helghans a terrifying, realistic presence. View larger. |
Despite the smooth character animations and swift-thinking AI behind each individual Helghan, their planet itself may be the most deceptive opponent that you face. Unlike other game environments that serve as nothing more than a visual backdrop, the devastating Helghan climate takes a notable toll. And, worst of all, the Helghans know exactly how to use the planet against you.
The in-your-face perspective comes to life as you take aim with exotic new weapons and mainstays from the previous games, including the M82-G assault rifle. And you can now drive an array of rugged, sometimes strange, vehicles that expand the gruesome possibilities of war.
Guerilla Technology in a Terrifying, Realistic World
Guerrilla's unique visuals and deferred rendering technology ensure that even the ugliest situations on Helghan are beautifully lit. Ambient occlusion and accurate shadow casting from a variety of light sources combine with gritty textures, detailed environments, and studio-grade special effects to help complete the realistic, Hollywood experience of this first-person shooter.
Real-time cutscenes, full-screen anti-aliasing, motion blurs, and internal lens reflections all bring you into the fold and work to maximize the hardware capabilities of the PS3. And the audio experience is no less impressive. 7.1 surround sound capability lend a truly dynamic sound element to your experience, while audio occlusion with wave tracing means that you can hear the difference between indoor and outdoor firefights.
Chaotic Multiplayer Drama Online
While single-player mode lets you take on the unique challenges of 11 fully developed levels, online play lets you engage with up to 32 players at a time, bringing the gritty, realistic chaos of war to a whole new level.
Other multi-player friendly enhancements in Killzone 2 include in-game clan management, a match wagering system, and the ability to integrate new information and track friends and enemies with the community at Killzone.com.

Disclaimer: This is my impression from playing the beta(s). I haven't had a chance to play the Single Player yet, but I will Day One when I pick up this game.
I was lucky to take part in the closed beta, Phase 2 & 3 out of 3 phases.
the changes from Phase 2 to 3 were huge and improved so I'm confident the final product will be even better.
I've played both Killzone 1 and Killzone: Liberation and so I'm comfortable with the Killzone Universe.
I was never a big fan of Killzone 1. It was good but not great. It wasn't terrible either.
The improvements are astounding compared to Killzone 1.
When I was in the KZ2 beta I put in KZ1 to see the differences and enhancement they've made for the sequel and I'm not over-exaggerating when I say it's a HUGE improvement. I also put in CoD4 and Resistance 2 since they are both FPS games to compare with KZ2 and Killzone 2 is just better and more solid.
The graphics are simply breathtaking and the controls are very spot on. The guns feel good in your hands and the gameplay is very fun. It really does feel like you're in a war zone when you're playing against 31 other players online.
The "Dynamic Objectives" is simply awesome. You no longer finish a round log out then wait and go into a different mode. It's one long continuous mode that happens right after one another without leaving the game. So it will be Capture, Assassinate, Protect, ect. all in one round of play. Of course you can create your own room with your own tailored Modes if you wanted, as well. Or join other rooms that have your favorite modes.
The online stats and upgrades are awesome. You can mix and match your class to your desire.
But you can only hold 2 different classes with each one character.
If you like the feel of CoD4 or CoD:WaW then you will love Killzone 2.
Sure, the graphics are amazing and one of the best, but what's more important is the gameplay and it is rock solid.

Killzone 2 continues the story of the original Killzone for the PS2. The Helghast have been repelled from Vekta, and now the I.S.A is invading their homeworld of Helghan.
The game does a wonderful job in terms of atmosphere: you'll never feel like you're not in a war-torn city where every inch is being fought for step by bloody step. The graphics are nothing spectacular now, but at thier time and even now Killzone 2 is a very attractive looking game.The gameplay is typical first person shooter, and the formula manages to be fun for a majority of the game. However, towards the end the game begins to feel a little drawn out and I found myself wanting to reach the conclusion quickly.
The biggest negative for this game is going to be the difficulty - which the developers didn't quite nail spot on. I seldom found myself stuck on the first playthrough (Despite the fact I started on the hardest difficulty available), finding the game incredibly easy until the final boss fight where it seemed the difficulty of the game was ramped up by x10. I spent four hours trying to beat one section of the game, something no gamer ever wants to do.
In terms of sound, the game sounds great. The voice overs were well-done, the music was fitting but was not the overpowering cacophony of noise I despise in othergames. While this is nitpicking, the gun shots could have been better than what they were.
All in all, Killzone 2 is a great game. It falls a little short of being amazing however, due to the simple fact the gameplay does get a little stale towards the end of the game and you find yourself being increasingly aggressive just to get to the end. The multiplayer is undoubtably one of the best, and will give you hours more fun after the game is complete. Players looking for a challenge though might want to look somewhere else.

BEST GAME OF THE YEAR
There are only a few words to rate this game. It is nearly flawless.
The only thing I feel is the game is too short. I want it more.

Great game, the only complaint I have is you can't ditch the handgun for another weapon.
