MSN: Killzone 2 Review

This all makes for a very complete package, delivering just the triple-A title the PS3 needed. Though derivative in parts, Killzone 2 wisely draws on the best elements of the shooter genre to deliver its own blend of militaristic sci-fi action and stunning visuals.

LOL even the competitions publication can't downplay this master piece. Hey does anyone know how i can fix my ps3? I have an original 60gig launch console but i just got the YLOD(yellow light of death) and i refuses to turn on.

Please if anyone has a clue about a fix please let me know. Man i have the worst luck in the world. Just when i bought killzone2 the darn ps3 dies. It is the worst feling knowing everyone else is enjoying this masterpiece while i'm bored sh!tless.

HDgamer5533d ago

Send in your ps3, they will replace the hard drive with your data. It seems to only happen with 60gb's now a days.

HDDVD185533d ago

4/5 rather than 5/5

too bad even they couldnt find any fault

but who cares?
MSN isnt counted at meta

gaffyh5533d ago

Try and replce your HDD, it may fix it.

SAiOSiN5533d ago

lol same with my buddy. his ps3 stopped reading disks. will sony fix it for free?

marichuu5533d ago

4/5 does not mean masterpiece :>

Would make more sense if it was posted under a perfect score review.

InfectedDK5533d ago

They had only 2 choices anyway: 4/5 or 5/5..
Anything else would look like a jealous child without a PS3.
Ofcourse it doesnt deserve a 3/5 everyone knows.
Thanks for the review but it doesnt mean more than the other reviews although it is Microsoft :)

uie4rhig5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

they'll arrange for a replacement, tho it'll take a while coz its the 60GB and they dont make that anymore.. they replaced mine for free outside the warranty here in the UK :)

good luck ;)

and about the article.. they say that they don't like the "imperfect cover system".. i find it the best cover system for an FPS game..

marichuu5533d ago

@1.7
I have to admit that I didn't bother using the cover system in the demo... I never used the lean right/left in other FPS games... it feels better to run out, shoot, run back.

Things might change for me next week though... if my copy of the game gets here, that is x.x

Ryangp5533d ago

That happened to me about 6 months back, I tried everything, in the end i just had to send it back. I recommend you do the same and don't ruin the warranty.

Zephyrus_8085533d ago

If you call Sony, they'll send you a replacement. I think you get a choice of refurbished 60GB or the new 80GB model.

uie4rhig5533d ago

yeah same here, in the demo i didn't cover too much, however, when you have the full game, and you play on the highest possible difficulty (the third one.. cant remember what its called) you're gonna need it a lot.. tbh, Killzone 2 is the first game where i have had trouble finishing on the highest possible difficulty..

SolidSnake935532d ago

MS............................ .......n

DominusRebellis5532d ago

I finally found something that sucks about K2. I was playing online but had to quit the match and all the points that I gained throughout the match didn't count at all because I didn't finish until our faction won or lost. If I play for 30minutes and get 40 points I expect them to add to my experience, even if I do leave the game early!

Sir Ken_Kutaragi5533d ago

Er PS3 has LOADS of Triple-A GAMES!!!thank you very much!!! ;)

10/10!!! ;-P

TheMART5533d ago

Nope, it doesn't have loads of triple AAA exclusive games rated on or over 9 out of 10

LBP is there with 9.5 out of 10
Then there is the MGS4 BluRay movie with 9.4 out of 10

and KZ2 is now the first real shooter experience with 9.1 out of 10

It needed it hard, with the 360 having shooters Gears 1 with 9.4 out of 10, Halo 3 with 9.4 out of 10 and Gears 2 with 9.3 out of 10.

digger185533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

Mart, just shows how crap metacritic is. There is no way on Gods earth Halo 3 is worth over an 8 on metacritic, it was a way over hyped piece of sh*t. It seems alot of review sites overrate Xbox 360 games and nitpick PS3 games.

Plus you calling MGS4 just a Blu-Ray movie, well it has more gameplay hours (around 20 hours) than both Gear 1 & 2 put together.

Metacritic is massively flawed and only a fu*king fanboy can't see that.

Stop using it as your bible.

WTF is this noname website???

HDDVD185533d ago

LOL

yea this is kinda no name since its MS and this website isnt counted at meta

somekindofmike5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

"what is this noname website"

That was a damn funny comment!

SAiOSiN5533d ago

i don't think a microsoft site should review the game. well, anyway good score. i guess every1 likes it though.

Simon_Brezhnev5533d ago

yeah i agree with u even though he gave it a good score he was still sarcastic with it "triple-A title the PS3 needed"

somekindofmike5533d ago

There is no reason why a MS site shouldn't review a PS3 game, as long as they are professional about it then it is fair enough.

as for some people saying 4/5 is not good enough, I think it's a fair score, Killzone 2 looks awesome, and has a awesome multiplayer, but the single player while good, could of been better. (bit like COD4 really!)

My personal preference is to have an awesome single player experience too! in fact I'd prefer an awesome single player shooter of epic proportions over a multiplayer one anyday, but if I was being greedy i'd have both :)

Magic_The_Celt5533d ago

Did microsoft just review Killzone 2?............................ .

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro46d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7246d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_46d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga46d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2346d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200047d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin47d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole47d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix47d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198947d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198947d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar351d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor351d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar351d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg350d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149350d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138351d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim351d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC351d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138351d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle351d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76351d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM350d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger350d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca351d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright350d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183722d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183722d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149722d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
