Product Description
Killzone is a squad-based first-person shooter, set in the near future during a period of planetary colonization. An invading separatist faction called the Helghast is trying to destroy your colony and take over the planet. Command an elite squad as they stand between the Helghast and their destruction of the colony. Drawing inspiration from classical military conflicts of the 20th century, Killzone is an all-around military experience that will blow you away.

Great Game, Good Concept, But didn't deliver. May 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know where to start off but this game's campaign mode was really confusing and there was no jump button. Being a fan of FPS, it was hard to adapt to this game in the beginning. The story is OK, similar to other generic FPS games. But don't expect much since the ps2's hardware was not as powerful as the xbox hardware @ this time. However, I played the Multiplayer mode online and it was really amazing especially for an old game. The game didn't lag a bit, and it was really balance with awesome weapons. If you wanted play multiplayer only, then this is a must buy. But if you're like me who wants Online Multiplayer and a Good Campaign mode, Then this might not be the game for you.

Where's the four person split screen? April 8, 2008

Halo killer? Not so much. The games good, I'm not going to lie, but w/o 4-person multiplayer, the game is severely lacking. Also, not being able to jump, sux.
Underappreciated April 2, 2008

To start things off, I'll say that this game is not perfect. Not even close. However, its a lot fun, very immersive, pushes the PS2 to its limits, and is fairly underrated in my opinion.
Lets start out with the graphics. The graphics in this game are possibly the best on the PS2, although it faces some stiff competition with Shadow of the Colossus. I seriously couldn't believe it was running on my PS2. Although there can be some frame rate problems from time to time.
The sound is amazing. The soundtrack itself is nothing special, but everything just sounds amazing. All the guns sound right, as well as the explosions. The best part about the sound in my opinion, is the battle that you can always hear going on in the background. Its really well done and makes it really feel like you're in the middle of a viscous battle.
The game play is where the game starts to slide a bit. While I really liked how realistic it felt to move and sprint to cover, there were some problems. The first that comes to mind is the enemy A.I. which seems to cheat at times, making the game overly difficult. The biggest complaint about game play though is the controls. They are extremely annoying, once you get used to them they work fine though I guess, well except the sniper, I hate using that thing with a passion.
Overall its a fun experience if you like shooters high in realism. Fantastic controls, tolerable controls, an immersive background, and decent multi player. I'd give it a try if you haven't, make up your mind about this game for yourself.
Killzone Unmatched March 28, 2008

I have played numerous war games, and/or strategy, all of which have violence as a main theme in their ventures. But by far, the most simplistic and easy to use is Killzone. A few years have passed since this game was originally released, giving it some shelf-life for others searching for compliments to it. The visuals are stunning in some areas and could use improvement in others, depending on your television and connections of course. But what is most inspiring about the game are the use of weapons and control features. No double button excesses here, just straight forward one button manipulations. The best way to enjoy it's overall appeal is to enter battlefield mode, whereby familiarization with all weapons and button configuration can be attained and enhanced for optimum use. Some inconsistencies exist in the game, but once your experience with the computer's reaction time, and random strategy advantage, has adjusted itself, then you can see the true worth of this game. It will always, if allowed, have you aware of your surroundings that contribute to your advantage or disadvantage against it. Campaign mode offers the story line and all character assesments, arguing that most games have good story lines, this is more of a basic element to the game and seems to define it quite independent. Depending on your view, I don't see it as good versus evil, more of aligining teams in an effort to learn strategic placement and adjusting for unintended outcomes. Moreover, the by far best experience is online play, which I personally recommend for everyone that is utilizing the online features with most games.
All in all this game is a must for serious game enthusiasts. Have yet to enjoy the latest installment in this series, Killzone: Liberation.
