Killzone 2.....your thoughts?

[gmathews]

Killzone 2 is insane!! Gives you a true feel of a futuristic war torn land. MW2 (finished it) and BC2 (still playing) are the other 2 FPS titles that i have on the PS3. I am at the final stage in the Academy with Radec and I just can't get past his minions..Tried it over ten times ;/

What was wrong with Resistance? By your comments you seem a bit apprehensive of the PS3... Are the games really that bad or are you just an XBOX fanboy? I'm open to new console-gaming experiences, so I won't go bashing any console just yet.

Ive had my xbox considerably longer than my PS3 so i might be a little baised but im very far removed from being a fanboy. I just didn't like resistance, it didn't speak to me, Controls felt unintuetive and the story was a little o.O. I got it free with my PS3 so it was no big loss trading it. Kill Zone i played a good 3 or so hours of before i found something else, think i was reviewing something for my gaming..., and tried getting back into it and just couldn't so ill have to restart it. My Aprehension with it was that it was labled the "Halo 3 Killer" just like the original Kill Zone was labled the "Halo Killer" and both times it fell far, far short of Bungie's master pieces. Though the visuals are goodish the characters where total stero-types and the story really didn't make an aweful lot of sense, that could be coz i didn't play Kill Zone but if i could i would.

Ill replay it at some point, it had some fun parts but nothing that kept me comming back.

KZ2 was a snore-fest, absolutely nothing that you haven't seen before. It's not bad for a quick frag or two, but don't expect it to revolutionize the genre.

And your thoughts on Halo? /Nudges Rusty to check out Halo Reach thread.

I don't have an Xdoos so can't comment on Halo unfortunately.

Thinking of getting myself a cheap arcade bundle to check out some of the exclusives though.

Personally I loved KZ2. Its different from Gears of War in that you cant just run and gun....which took me some getting used to. Visually I thought it looked pretty good. Just my five cents!

Gears... 3rd Person, KZ2 fist person. Gears Runngun and u die, use cover. KZ2 Runngun possible, cover mechanic sucks. Do u perhaps mean halo? Coz halo is Run and gun all the way.

Yes where people in Halo sparkle when they get shot hehehe
Killzone was awesome due to the fact that when you shot a guy in the leg the guy would scream in pain and grab his leg! That was really awesome I thought and their AI is pretty awesome too!
I've played Halo 3 online and KZ2 online and Both are pretty awesome!

Okay...but answer this: Since this is my very first FPS on a console, is Killzone 2 a good enough game to base my opinion on FPS games for the consoles?
