    Default Killzone 2.....your thoughts?

    Hi guys,

    I bought Killzone 2 for the PS3 over the weekend for a bargain R150. I watched the review on gamespot and they were pretty much blown away by it. What's your take on the game? Any good? I'm looking forward to trying to play a FPS on the console. I'm pro-PC when it comes to FPS games...but I thought you cannot have an opinion about something if you haven't tried it first...and Killzone 2 seemed like the best console FPS to try out.

    Played it... hated it. As for looks... meh. Halo 3 looks better. The controlls and fist person cover mechanic doesn't work. Im use to shooters on consoles as i own a xbox and have for a long time. I had to drop difficulty down to piss easy for KZ not coz its hard but coz the control scheme is so bloody confusing. After i got my HDMI cable for the ps3 i booted up kill zone to see it in glorious HD... its only 720p where as Halo 3 runs at 1080p.... Will replay it once i have a bit more time. It was one of the big disappointments i got when first playing ps3.

    Good to know... I've been an avid console FPSer since I got my XBOX about 3 years ago. Only recently got a PS3 (due to PnP's delightful little special ) so now I'm looking at getting some PS3 games. KillZone 2 looked really good, together with the 2 Resistance games.

    Halo 3 actually runs at 640p and is upscaled to 1080p

    Also the world knows KZ2 looks better than Halo, though it doesn't play as well as Halo.
    It's got a good multiplayer though and is still played regularly amongst locals

    Really! Lol. Serves me right for believing the Box.

    KZ had a more rugged look where as Halo was more shiny... I agree it doesn't have the "5min of fun" thing going from halo. I liked the incorporation of the Sixaxis though, thought that was different.

    Personally i prefer KZ2 over Halo 3.

    differing tastes

    Play games, not platforms

    Hated resistance also, played 10 minutes then traded it. Kill Zone i still have as i want to play it, it just never wowed me. Wait till Halo Reach Hits, its going to bring something completely new to console FPSes, not just in MP but also in SP.

    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.
