XGN: Killzone 2 Review

XGN.nl writes: "Killzone 2 is the title in 2009 seems so far away was when Sony delayed the game in 2007. PlayStation 3 owners looking forward to this incredible exclusive title, but I know the Killzone 2 hype into reality?"

[Timberland2K9]

again another great score

[UnSelf]

These scores r wonderful, I hope someone is keepin track of all dis praise

[KillzoneKid]

u have N4G meta

and metacritic

[Maddens Raiders]

will go down as the best shooter of all time.

Until KILLZONE III

[KillzoneKid]

agreed due

but where is Mart/POG aka WHY DIS/Giant Crab?

seriously i hope that old man doesnt have a heart attack

[N4360G]

LOL I feel sorry for him,it must hurt him to see Killzone 2 getting 9's and 10's everywhere.Another great score and review for Killzone 2.I can't wait to play the beast known as Killzone 2 on my PS3 next month!!

[Maddens Raiders]

flexes its muscles [@KILLZONE KID] and runs these old 360 stlawarts off the sight. Marty lurks in the forum dungeon now, because his arguments have been completely deconstructed and broken apart....you'll remember the "old Bot greats" (and I say that as a compliment) like, TheRealDeal, Elite Gamer, Jayda2kballa, Daytona, FKNUnbelievable, THAMMER1, POG, and others...they have all evacuated...even the hangers on like Firstknight and assassyn360 hold onto their bubbles and arguments to no avail, because people don't even pay attention anymore.

It saddens me to a degree, because those were the real, real glory days of N4G...when nothing was given and everything was fought for with blood and treasure. But leave it to Sony to find a way to come through as usual....guess I better make more room on my PSN friends list.

W3LCOM3 CHANG3

[eagle21]

EPIC post! 10/10...lol

[Return Of The Bad Gu]

Killzone 2 haters,where you @?I've got some Crow for you right here

[KillzoneKid]

cuz Killzone 2 is better than all games on their platform

[Liquid Snake]

i don't know Killzonekid.... That Viva Pinata game looks pretty tempting

/sarcasm

LOL.

[KillzoneKid]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Man not one of them is even seen here at N4G

I call this latent fear

expect more pwnage tomorrow when more KZ2 perfect/near perfect reviews come in

[N4360G]

LOL they have all been KillzOWNED!!

[Sarcasm]

Who cares about Killzone 2 when you have Lips, Banjo Kazooie, and You're in the movies!

:)

[tharealest]

evaaaaa!

[Liquid Snake]

wheres PP?

[Bathyj]

Probably playing with his namesake.

Or ritual suicide, if we're lucky.

[NegativeCreep427]

for his mother to finish making dinner: Pop-Tarts with Ketchup on top.

[Liquid Snake]

i heard for breakfast he eats deep fried Fruit Loops.

[Gerry Mark II]

I ALSO heard that instead of butter, pp spreads sh!t on his toast.

:P

(Did i go too far?)

[gunnerheadboy]

@ Gerry Mark II :

Yup, that's disgusting :P.

But it's pp, who always does something disgusting :D.

[BLuKhaos]

Didn't you guys hear?That kid that got raped the other day by that some dude he met on XBL was pp.

[Says you]

Has doen that before? cause if three isn't one then Killzone 2 will be the first or if their has been it will be the second one!! and T Jani Microsoft is last not Sony considering they keep counting all around the world the same people that had theirs broken or warranty expired or house on fire or stolen or bought more then one XBox 360 just in case their first one breaks

and then Microsoft would count the same people all around the world as part of there userbase as the 28 million remember that.

[inbfour]

yes yes yes

[T-Jani]

I know sony are last this gen but you have to admit they have got some sick 1st party Xclusives games. 360 and PS3 owners are spoilt for choice.

[Hallucinate]

yep thats another reason i went with sony...they actually have 1st part dev stuidos while microsoft has like 3 and a million 3rd party

[edgeofblade]

For truth. You can't go wrong with a PS3 and a 360 right now. In fact, I don't see why the two fanboy contingents can't get along in the face of the REAL threat from that one Kyoto company everyone seems to think is so great. There are two things destroying games right now: Nintendo and hardcore gamers who can't get along.

[Arsenal4Ever]

KILLZONE 2 is EPIC, EPIC FAIL. 4 years on the making of this crap what the hell is with these crappy devs.

"It ain't going to match E3 2005"

"KZ1 is fail, KZ2 follows"

"PS3 is DEAD ZOMG"

----------------------------- ------------------------------- -----------

That's all i've been hearing since E3 2005. Seriously people, buy this game it's clearly the best game i've played this generation.

I've played the BETA and the PREVIEW (LIECESTER SQUARE) codes of this game. GG are clearly the best devs this gen so far. :)

[Sarcasm]

GG is one of the best devs, wouldn't count out Naughty Dog, Polyphony Digital and Sony Santa Monica just yet.

:)

The great part, is that we'll get to enjoy ALL their games. None of this "bu bu bu This game is bettttarrrrrrrrrr.... waaHHhHHHhhhHhH" -Typical 360 troll

[Overr8ed]

Ya forgot INsomniac games... Sony has the best 1st party support and it shows with games like Killzone 2, Resistance series and Uncharted

[spunnups]

i can't wait to play this demo

[Dissidia]

mayb just a lil too far lol

[Hallucinate]

PP has balls? hmm i just assumed they hadnt dropped yet
Bah i replied to the wrong guy

[DavidMacDougall]

I'd smash PP's head in with a brick ..................

[gunnerheadboy]

I'd smash PP's balls with a brick.........

[DavidMacDougall]

PP's balls?

[WhoaMan]

yeah the ones on his mouth

[DavidMacDougall]

You mean the ones on his forehead

[gunnerheadboy]

The ones down his throat.

[jkhan]

Killzone 2 wasn't slated as a 2007 release. It was a late 2008 release & if it wasn't for Resistance 2, Killzone 2 would probably have been on schedule, considering the review build has been out since early January.

[Man_of_the_year]

Looks like all the Sony Kids are the firist to post on this reveiw. Can we get some adults in this post that actually know what they are talking about?

[edwineverready]

You just killzowned your self. because ps3 owners average age is higher then that of xbox360 owners.

[Graphics Whore]

Man of the year, did you just call yourself an adult? The way you behave on N4G is like a kid having a tantrum.

[thereapersson]

"Looks like all the Sony Kids are the firist to post on this reveiw. Can we get some adults in this post that actually know what they are talking about?"

maybe because this is an article pertaining to a PS3-EXCLUSIVE GAME???

would you rather have "balance" and have a bunch of 360 trolls in here? I am pretty sure you wouldnt have a problem with that. Your comment is really unnecessary, and makes you look like you need a visit from the "waaaaaambulance".

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'm an adult.

Whatever shall I say?

[Arkrite]

Tell the children to stop fighting

PSN/XBL:Arkrite

[moodymofo]

im tired of these low scores,this game should average a 10 (average a 10) these reviewers make me sick! im just kidding. great score i cant wait for this.gamestop said yesterday that they were considering a midnight launch for this. man i hope they do

[silverchode]

wow you guys are stupid.

[Helghast Slayer]

You have been killzowned, next.

[Return Of The Bad Gu]

Yep,the Sony kids are definitely the ones that can't even spell first nor review.

Try again later,preferably when your buddies are online.You know,the same ones that can't form an intelligent argument without consulting Wikipedia?

[sak500]

Look the retarded SDF out in full force. Oh noes kz2 dint get 11 out of 10? You guys are the most pathetic bunch of idiots on the planet or for that matter universe. Looked like pp fuked all your mothers.

[NegativeCreep427]

Who gives a Flying F if Killzone 2 doesn't get an 11 out of 10, 10's and 9's are just enough to own dumba$$ Xbot butt-buddies like yourself. The same Butt-Buddies who hoped and prayed that Killzone 2 would go down in history as one of the biggest letdowns in the industry's near 30-year history.

It hasn't and it never will. So I recommend, for all you xbot idiots to maintain any confidence you have left in your system of choice, to start moving onto Infamous, or Gran Turismo 5, or God of War 3, or Heavy Rain, or White Knight Chronicles, or FFXIII Versus.

The PS3 has plenty more great-looking games down the road that you losers can try to cast bad Voodoo on.

[trancefreak]

Hey sak I like it better when you post more constructively. I know you have a deep passion for the 360 but your better than this ive seen it.

[SAiOSiN]

keep em coming baby!

[psiom]

N4G comments make my head hurt...

What good is all this rivalry and inane big noting?

Just enjoy the game, screw the haters, live and let live.

Remember:
Step 1. Don't be a fanboy.
Step 2.
Step 3. Win.

[Hallucinate]

let me help you
step 2. buy a ps3 if you dont already have one

[DarthDane90]

you guys need to understand, without co op killzone 2 wont get all tens

[Hallucinate]

who the hell disagreed to that? its tru

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It really IS true...sadly.

[Traveler]

I don't believe games should be scored for what they aren't, they should be scored solely on what they offer.

I don't care if other games have co-op. That shouldn't mean that every shooter from now to eternity must have co-op.

Resistance 2 had 60 player multi-player does that mean that every game from here on out must have 60 or more players or they get docked? That line of thinking doesn't make any sense. A game should be judged on what it offers, not on what people wish it offered.

[mxdan]

Your all pathetic. Both systems are great. Stop justifying your purchuse like you sold your soul to your system.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

The 360 is a piece of junk...just like the PS2 was a piece of junk. That doesn't mean it has bad games though. It really does have great games...but now that the PS3's lineup has caught up...and, in my opinion, surpassed that of the 360's...it's time to move on.

[edgeofblade]

@Leon: For every 3 games Xbox 360 does right, PS3 just has to do 1 right? That's the definition of a double standard...

[BMS84]

But it seems as some of the the reviewers, are looking for small negative things, more than in any other game, because the hype is huge. I played the beta version and really think that story about the slightly lesser control really is crap.. It's like they need to write something negative, in some other reviews ,they wrote the controls are amazing and not so good voice acting and at XGN they are really enthusiastic about voice acting.

[Hallucinate]

well they have to come up with negitave crap..all games have negitives to them and the reviewers have to find them..and if they dont there just not credible

[BMS84]

One article was weakstory how can get the game than a 9.5?

[Barack Obama]

that we can believe in.

[Stryfeno2]

Good score but not good enough. For 5 yrs in the works KZ2 should not be getting any lower than a 9.7 IMO.

[heyheyhey]

and for 10 years in the making Too Human should have got only 10's by your logic?

at least KZ2 is still AAA... where's Too Flopman?

[trancefreak]

When you claim production time frames you have to post links and facts man otherwise your claim is baseless.

[Traveler]

It hasn't been in development for 5 years.

Besides, does that mean that the longer the development time, the better the score should be? I don't think so. There is obviously no such correlation. In fact, some of the games in development for the longest were also some of the biggest disappointments (Too Human, cough, cough...).

[Ryuk]

You droids are a bunch of b!tches! Talkin sh!t about a dude (pp) when he's not even here to defend himself. Killzone this, killzone that...but yet..its average keeps goin down. Hmm..wat will you droids say once it drops below the 90 mark huh? Wait until god of war 3? Haha, damn prick-sickles >:P

[Mc187]

*POP*

We all know what that sound is ryuk

[Bumpmapping]

Finally a real next gen game,something 360 has been lacking since Gears of War 1.

[edgeofblade]

Good god. The fanboyism is deafening in here.

We are totally entitled to be critical of KZ2. We think it deserves it. No co-op, online or otherwise; a massive guerrilla hype machine you got all caught-up in; graphics-over-substance presentation. It's amazing you so quickly forget the reasons you hated on Halo 3. For everything there, Halo 3 has an collaboative level editor of sorts, online FOUR player co-op, full replays... I mean, damn, they did a lot of things right!

Killzone 2 will probably be an overall good game, same as Halo 3 was. But neither one of them is the end-all best FPS ever... except for the first few days it's out. Get over it. Play what you like and let everyone else play what they like. Stop the ignorant, fanboy flag waving.

[Kick The Ass]

Duuuuudettes, do not even go there.
Valve owns that one completely with Half-Life 1&2, CS, TF 1&2, Portal and Left4Dead.
Besides, there's always System Shock, Bioshock, Deus Ex, Doom and GoldenEye.

Disagree, and the chair sizzling with electricity is gonna' be waiting for you...

You know, like in X-Files?

[Moe_OwnZ]

MAN I'M LOVIN KILLZONE ALREADY
however im not happy with some of the reviewers... apparently the reviewers "have been reviewing the game hard" so its really unfair on the game coz bad games like GOW2 hav gotten away with a few 10's earlier this year
