Manufacturer's Description
The original Killzone never quite fulfilled its promise as Sony's "Halo killer", but the second game has already become the PlayStation 3's definitive first person shooter. Renowned for its graphics from the first moment it was previewed, there's a lot more to this game than just state-of-the-art visuals.
This up-and-coming studio is the biggest game developer in the Netherlands. It first hit the headlines with first person shoot 'em-ups Killzone and Shellshock: Nam '67. The games got a mixed reception, but Sony was confident enough to buy them in 2005 as they began work on Killzone 2.
 The enemy Helghast are one of gaming's most deadly adversaries |
 Main character Sev and his squad face an almost impossible mission |
 You can take control of vehicles in both single and multiplayer modes |
 Snipers are just one of the basic classes to play as in multiplayer |
With a more realistic, gritty feel than other Sci-Fi shooters, this is more like a World War II game in space. Most weapons are very similar to modern day armaments and there's a constant emphasis on finding and using cover.
Although the single player campaign is impressively large and varied the game's longevity comes from the multiplayer. The new class-based game modes means everyone gets to pick a different role according to how they prefer to play, with clans of players teaming up to take on their rivals. The end result is a game that's very different to Halo - but just as good in its own right.
Key Features- Real McCoy: After years of hype, Sony finally has a top quality first person shoot 'em-up to go up against the best that the Xbox 360 can field.
- The new standard: The best graphics yet on the PlayStation 3, with a huge game world, fully destructible environments and amazing animation.
- Too real: Some of the most realistic enemy artificial intelligence ever in a video game, with soldiers that use real world tactics, but also make mistakes and change their mind.
- Duck and cover: Unique "lean and peek" cover system is the most advanced yet seen in a first person game, where death can come at any moment.
- Class war: Choose the multiplayer character class that suits you and customise it with 16 different abilities to match your playing style.

Product Description
Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA are taking the fight to Helghan. Their goal: to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the Helghast war machine to a halt. You assume the role of Sev, a battle-hardened veteran and a member of the special forces unit known as the Legion.
For Sev and his squad, the invasion of Helghan is just beginning. Tasked with securing Pyrrhus, the Capital City, they quickly discover that the Helghast are a formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to the planet's hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power they can now use against the ISA.
Sev and his squad aren't just fighting the enemy forces - their fiercest opponent is the planet itself.
Welcome to Helghan, soldier!
- Experience realistic, highly atmospheric environments that respond dynamically to the violent conditions on Helgha
- Witness the devastating effects of Helghan's climate as it forces you and your enemies to adapt to new tactics
- Face off against fearsome enemies who have learned to wield the hostility of Helghan itself against their opponents
- Operate new and exotic weapons and vehicles, in addition to trusty Killzone classics like the M82-G and the StA-52 LAR

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing visuals, AI, almost everything,
By MB2009SX "Amazing Person" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Killzone 2 (PS3) (Video Game)
Yes the game does involve pretty much level after level of shooting people and in that sense is repetitive. However, this is clearly not something that makes it a bad game. Any genre of game is the same. A first person shooter will always be primarily shooting people and to use this as an excuse to rate the game badly is purely wrong and useless to someone wishing to buy this.
The game levels are nicely designed to offer changes of scenery, and frequent uses of different tanks, mounted guns, mobile weapons and vehicles breaks the gameplay up and it almost always feels fresh. The visuals are simply amazing, the effects and graphics superior to any current console game on either Xbox 360 or PS3. Fanboy arguments aside, this is simply an excellent game and had it been available on the Xbox 360 it wouldn't be getting so many false reviews claiming bad handling etc from people who are obviously Microsoft fanboys or employees. If you don't believe the hype, try the demo first and then buy when you see how amazing the visuals and gameplay is right from the opening level, where it is very difficult to see where the cutscene ends and actual game play graphics begin.

5.0 out of 5 stars
5 STARS. ENOUGH SAID,
By Kristofer "KristOmerta" (Balearics, Spain) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Killzone 2 (PS3) (Video Game)
Action-packed. Incredible graphics. Better atmosphere. Not much of a story, but who cares? Before even starting you know this will be a death orgy - the opening, with the game's incredible dubbing, puts you into place.
Pros: -It may be because I haven't that much time to play, but it's turning out to be MUCH longer than what I expected. I thought I was near the end when I realized I was only 53% through! -Even if the story and the main game DOES get short, the fun only goes on with it's near flawless online game. Cons: -I've heard many complaints on the controls, and, honestly, I've never had a problem. Try turning round fast with a 2 stone gun in your hands! And besides, you can always tune up the turning speed... -Apart from that... ummm... NONE! Get it NOW. A PS3 doesn't deserve the lack of it.
