Killzone 2

"Hell on Helghan, The Best FPS on the PS3?"

I think we've all been waiting for this game especially since 2005, and boy, was it worth the wait. I want to start off by saying that when I put in the disc, watched the first cutscene, I think I pooped myself......okay just kidding, but this game is absolutely amazing, but I will warn you: There is a slight learning curve in this game.

Story- Evil guys on planet, go kill them all, because we are the best and they have red eyes like the devil pew pew pew they all die. Then let's capture their leader and do bad things to him, okeydoke? Practically the story I won't get too detailed about it but it's just another FPS story. 6/10(It's not great, but not unbearable)

Graphics- If you have even a little bit of interest in this game you should already know how GREAT the the graphics are. Think of this game as the console Crysis. Outstanding graphics, by far the best graphics I have seen on ANY console game and yes. This game has better graphics than Gears of War 2...!!! Definitely 10/10

Sound- Beautiful sound, just wonderful. Explosions going off everywhere, yelling, gunshots, bullets falling, all that good stuff. My only gripe- Voice acting could be so much better other than that 10/10

Gameplay- OUTSTANDING. The cover system was implemented so well, this is the ultimate cover-or-cower FPS game. AI is incredibly intelligent, squadmates actually work, and let me just say. This game, is unbelievably good. There is not a single bad thing about the gameplay AT ALL. I've been thinking and looking for one bad thing, and I just can't find one. Not one.10/10

Controls-....If you've been on the message boards you'll know that not everyone likes the controls. I personally do. It took me a little while to get used to it, but I'm great with them now. You see, before the game came out I was practicing in the demo a lot, you know? I played the demo about 3 times until I felt comfortable with it, and 7 times afterwords to master them. Some people don't like this game because it's not Call of Duty 4. Their fault. Again I will say that this game does have a learning curve and you'll have to wipe off the palette and start new to get used to the controls. 7/10

Multiplayer- Probably the best part of the game. Warzone= Online Multiplayer and Skirmish= Offline Mutliplayer with bots. Skirmish bots are great, yippidy doo. Let me get started on Warzone. Warzone is a combo of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search and Destroy, Search and Retrieve, and Assassination. Of course they have different names- Body Count, Capture and Hold, then the other three are the same. Anyways, when you play it'll be like this: While you're playing 5 minutes of Body Count, someone wins and WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING like still shooting and everything, it will instantly change to another gametype like CaH. Really intuitive, and just all around fun. The badges(classes/perks) are great too.10/10

Replayablitly- This games multiplayer will have you on the edge of your seat for quite some time especially with different Badges(Classes,etc.) and leveling system. 10/10

This game definitely deserves a shot, and in my opinion this is going to be possibly the best FPS this year (unless CoD:MW2 beats it!) and although there is a learning curve, trust me this is worth every last penny, and every last minute of your time. Definite 10/10
