Killzone 2 Reviews
Trev | 2:47 PM on 03.04.2009 12 comments


I made the banner, you just saw the banner, and if you're on my PSN friends list you've probably seen me playing the game every day since launch; it's safe to say I really enjoy Killzone 2. I guess in some sense I decided to write a review because I like to talk about games, but I also did it to share the reasons I love this game that you too might decide to enjoy it in spite of a couple minor issues.



Killzone 2's single player campaign is a good, but by no means a life-changing experience, occasionally with crazy weaponry, and some very intense battles. (Read more...)



The multiplayer part of Killzone 2 outshines its campaign in many ways without seeming to lose the intensity the single player possesses. It has an expansive class system, remarkable balance and lots to work for. (Read more...)


*As a side note, I haven't linked to private articles before but I understand it's supposed to work. Please refrain from sexual assault if it doesn't. I'll fix it asap if I find out that's the case.

The links work but why don't you just put everything on the same page? It's simpler that way.

(copypasta since i dont know which area of comments you will check most)

While I agree with you on most terms... I'm going to have to disagree about the controls... I think the controls kind of hurt the experience a little bit. I'm not saying its game breakingly bad like some idiots profess, but the controls make the game a little more challenging for the -wrong- reasons.. specifically in regards to the weight and delay of movement. I understand they added the sluggish acceleration for the effect of realism, but they simply did it kind of wrong. I'm sure you've noticed that there is a slight delay between controller input and on-screen accordance with said action... here's the problem with that. In reality if you're carrying a giant gun, even if its heavy, the moment you think about moving you actually move. Nobody in their head goes "I should point my gun over here" and then does it a half second later; it's an instant no hesitation action.

Basically the game just needs to tighten up the sluggishness a bit, and add some custom button mapping options like Resistance 2. I'm not saying turn the game into Halo or COD4, just tighten a few loose screws.

Can I sexually assault you anyway?
Trev's Destructoid Blog
If you must, sickNasty. By definition it's the kind of thing that happens whether or not you want it to.

@SephX
I don't percieve any delay though. It moves right away, just slowly. When looking down the sights of the rifles, you can see it start to crawl first, and the way it accelerates makes it easy for me to line up shots, perhaps more so than other games where I would usually twitch back and forth over someone's head without getting the crosshair right on.

@Narishma
Because it was a lot of writing, and linking to two more reasonable posts sounded better than one a mile long.

Apparently it upsets Jimbo though. Is it really that bad in comparison to a gargantuan post or doubling up in the cblog feed?
BahamutZero's Destructoid Blog
I never refrain from sexual assault. never.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Alright gentleman. Let's leave the c-blogs out of this.
Jim Sterling's Destructoid Blog
I want that Killzone font. Give it to me.
Trev's Destructoid Blog
It's not actually the proper Killzone font, which is apparently AE Boilerplate Stencil Bold. Instead of paying $40 I used ICBM SS-25 for free.

I don't see that much of a difference between them, but the internets tell me one is closer than the other.

Glad to have you on our side Trev.

 about me





Hi Destructoid, I'm Taylor.

I live in Wisconsin and probably drink too much, but apparently that's normal here. By day, I'm a web developer; people either don't know what they want or have terrible ideas. "I'd like a quote for a website." they say. I respond with: "What do you want the website to do? Lots of pages? Picture gallery or anything?". "I want to know the price before I think about that." they say, and I die a little inside.

By night I game, read comics and watch movies both good and bad--especially bad. The Sci-Fi channel has some magical formula to find out just how stupid to make a movie so it crosses the line and becomes so bad it's good(-ish) without becoming a parody. I think everyone should read Marvel Adventures, especially Avengers. It may be the "all ages" line, but can you remember the last time comics were fun? I don't, I was six in 1990. Marvel Adventures books are fun.

I started playing on the NES and had a Gameboy that was practically an extension of my arm, but I wouldn't say I became a gamer until the PSX days when I finally had a bit of income and could purchase games on my own, free from parental control.
