    The best Killzone game. It looks and plays great for a PS3 game and also is a great follow up to the original.

    The original Killzone on the PS2 was a visually pleasing but very linear FPS with a rather lacklustre storyline. Exactly the same can be said about this sequel in that the graphics are excellent but the story is nothing more than gung ho stereotypes spouting clichés at each other and it feels quite old fashioned and limited in comparison to the likes of Halo and Mass Effect.

    One of the best Killzone game's there is. This is not one to miss out on. The graphics, the story (albeit short) and the multiplayer (now botzone and private servers) is excellent.

    This game was such a fun time back in the day.

    I recommend it, the impact this had on the games industry was massive and I still think it holds up today.

    Thank you Geurilla!

    In my opinion, the second-best FPS game for the PS3 after the OG Modern Warfare 2. The surprise from the trailer that was notoriously feckin fake to releasing and getting some fantastic reviews was SUCH a surprise to me and I love it for a reason.

    um bom jogo de fps, porém o game trava em certos momentos, talvez devido ao gráfico forçar o ps3, todavia oferece uma jogabilidade insana e visceral.

    Killzone 2 is a great shooter. It's grim and dirty. Heavy and gritty. It's a fun experience for the single player campaign alone. The story is fairly simple and while the characters are nothing to boast about, the plot driving the story is compelling from start to finish. This game feels good and weighty. Guns and melee attacks pack a punch. The cinematics are well done and we'll shot. TheKillzone 2 is a great shooter. It's grim and dirty. Heavy and gritty.

The way a single match can have three or so different game modes at once is unique and exciting, resulting in matches that can last up to 30 or so minutes. Overall, Killzone 2 is great! The single player campaign has a good story with a few memorable and entertaining characters, good cinematography, good pacing and fun levels. The multiplayer is like nothing else out there, even to this day.… Expand

    A lot of Environments have this yellow-bronish filter, there are constant enemy swarms that are plain annoying, some Enemy's are bullet sponges, also while the protagonist of the first game is present in the game, your main character is just a normal soldier with absolute no background.

    The Story is nothing special, but it's alright.

    Still would recommend to play it at least once if you are a fan of the genre.    … Expand

Story is slightly above average. But Lore is Very Nice and Multiplayer is wonderful. However, the biggest problem in the game is that there is very little variety of vehicles, the vehicles we use are only Tank, AA gun, Anti-Aircraft and EXO . Although 4 vehicles seem like enough for you, we use these vehicles for a very short time, which reduces the variety in the game. But that's the only problem with the game, everything else is very Great .Lastly, the game makes good use of the Controller's features, Vibration puts you in a more combat atmosphere, and Motion sensors are well used on C4s or valves.

    It is difficult, painful and the game hits the balls, but after passing through you experience a great sense of pleasure.It’s very interesting to go through. Among the shortcomings, the questionable use of the capabilities of the gamepad, excessively dark graphics, the plot of the game will not present interesting stories in the notes, and the fps is sometimes small (but considering the graphics, this is normal).

    The best exclusive shooter on the PS3. It might be overrated by critics, but it's a big improvement over the original. Any fan of Sony's Uncharted series will be impressed. The campaign is a lot of fun and the multiplayer is enjoyable. While Killzone will never be a Halo killer, this is the best of the series. I would rate it with a 9 out of 10.

    Killzone is a a rare series where the sequel is the best in the series , among-st borderlands and banjo kazooie. killzone2 rose from the mild dumpster fire that was killzone 1 to forge an identity for it self and make a huge splash despite the advertisement debacle.

    Story: you play as sev an isa soldier who is part of a small what seems to be spec ops division of the isa. the story is probably the weakest part of this game , and characters are kinda boring . rico returns from killzone 1 but he was much more over the top in killzone one , here he is still a rough tough angry and violent man but he cares about his friends and squad mates . Sev being the player character is mostly silent and when he dose show emotion it dose feel awkward and unwarranted , like when one of the characters dose die ( wont tell you who) he gets angry and him and Rico start fighting and that felt out of place to me. besides little awkward moments the story flowed really well and had excellent pacing
    Story: 8/10

    World building: killzone's best aspect to it is 100% its world building and killzone 2 builds on the first killzones lore in big ways . and this really just feels like one event in a bigger story, to the way every thing looks to the helgan planet to even the helgans ideologies vs the ideology of the isa every little bit of lore is in service to either the game play or the story. i like the world war 2 feel to the lore but with a sci fi spin on things makes for a truly great world
    World building: 10/10

    Graphics: killzone 2 looks great , animations are very dynamic alot of thought was put into the reload animations , mostly because they are well made fictional guns . lighting is well done and the colour pallet is dark and neonish witch over all helps set the gritty cinematic tone for the game. for the ps3 this game looks great and even holds up today in 2019
    graphics 9/10

    Gameplay: first person shooters are a dime a dozen these days but killzone 2 manages to set it self apart in terms of game play in little ways. like how most guns are actually inaccurate and shooting for center mass is a legitimate strategy in this game where in other games id be aiming for head shots. the cover system in this game is innovative taking cues from 3rd person cover shooters but done in a first person view it makes it so much more immersive. the games difficulty is just right and a solid game direction makes for a great cinematic game a huge step up from killzone 1
    gameplay: 8/10

    sound design: for killzone 1 sound design was poor even having no battle music, BUT killzone 2 said none of that this time , all the music is cinematic and has an industrial feel to it witch goes along with the lore and story , and voice acting has greatly improved as well , lines are well spoken and not super cheesy ( maybe a little cheesy but not super ) all the guns sound cool and makes them a joy to shoot .
    sound design:8/10

    8+10+9+8+8=43
    43/5= 8.6

    killzone 2 is a triumph over its predecessor and breaks the mold to become one of gameings greats    … Expand

    and the trailer of E3 2005 its not like the game that was a fake, but for me the game is alot better then the es 2005 trailer, the AI is perfect, their is alot o soldiers type, and i will never forget when i faced the rocket launcher with the knife he was reloading,man he was afraid when he saw me getting close, this game is awsome, i enjoyed the online more then any others game, sad that we have to move on with other games whil time is passed.

The characters were expanded on from the first game as they had really no depth at all in the first game, and you play as a character separate from the four main characters which allows you to care about the main protagonist (inherently) and also the supporting characters since you've played as them before. Like a beautiful combination of Battlefield's gameplay and Halo's futurism with a score straight out of Hans Zimmer's career, Killzone 2 shines bright and stands out as one of gaming's best shooters.… Expand

    When i give an 8, is because a game is mediocer. Killzone is a bad gray and red-ish colour pallete with just one gameplay purpose, go to a cover and shoot in everything that pops on the screen. The game is good just on the last level when going to the palace. I don't understand how the critics and players loves this game. it is completely inferior to Resistance series.

The characters are great too and the single player campaign is a nice, lengthy affair. The multiplayer is still active as of late 2015 and is also a lot of fun to play. Plus, it's a well known fact that KZ2 on hard is the most challenging game to beat on the PS3, so if you accomplish that you'll get some pretty good street cred as well.

    The story is only OK but the graphics are great! It's set at a pretty fast pace, so there isn't always time to really get a chance to see some of the finer details that are there.

This featured the most immersive gameplay I've ever experienced in an FPS, the controls are slick, the sound effects great, and although the graphics are starting to show their age a little they're still more than adequate. Where it falls down a little is on the story front for me, I didn't feel the characters were that great (a little too stereotyped for my liking). The ISA (the team you play as) didn't have much going for it to make you really like them and the story was all pretty simplistic. I did like the Darth-Vader inspired bad guy Radec and his clearly Nazi inspired chronies however, their red faces contrasting to the general greyness of the game looked really bad-ass. That's another topic worth mentioning, the game is very grey, a little more variation in the levels would have been nice.
    Overall this was a hell of a lot of fun, with amazing gameplay but falls short of being great because of the simplistic unengaging story and generally forgettable 'good guy' characters.    … Expand

The voice acting is very well done and the sound effects will shatter glass with surround sound on. Shooting gets a little annoying since the crossair dissapears the longer you shoot and your bullets become more inaccuarte but you'll get used to it and that's not a problem in multiplayer. Oh yeah, the multiplayer. When I had my choice of Call of Duty or Killzone 2, I chose Killzone 2. It is just THAT much fun and easy to get into.

    "Killzone 2" es un first person shooter con una historia, si bien no es muy original, pero su acción sólida y sus gráficos superiores lo defienden que da gusto. Este título es un logro tecnológico y actualmente tiene uno de los mejores multiplayers que he jugado. Si no lo han jugado les digo que les espera mucha acción y diversión.

The gore, the weapons, the animations and all the details and amazing graphics just sucked me into this game. I played it nonstop from start to finish and can't wait to get Killzone 3.

    So this leaves me thinking, why exactly do we desperately need a new generation of gaming platforms? What exactly will they improve so much to be considered "next generation"? The leap isn't that big looking at the new titles that will come out. Do we really crave those extra textures so much? Because that's basically what it adds, and less loading times perhaps. The lighting is already perfected in Killzone 2. Sure connectivity and online play seems to be the new thing that grants it the title of "next generation" but this could be done on current aswell.. Oh well that went off track. Anyway, if you haven't played Killzone 2, you'll be amazed with what your PS3 can do.    … Expand

They even threw in some innovative ways to kill mini bosses. The multiplayer was awesome.

Another thing that was impressive was the destruction of environments that it had. I was absolutely amazed at this game, I felt like it almost had it all.

The story isn't that great either. All of this is a minor issue when you dig in the action which is kind of unforgiving in higher difficulty.

The controls aren't for everyone, but they add a new and interesting approach to gunplay that involves using your head more than you use the fire button. Could have used a toggle crouch option for the otherwise perfect first person cover system, but other than that, I didn't have any problems with the controls. Some say that the game-play can be repetitive, but I strongly disagree. The game-play is dynamic in that your character is rendered in real time and the game will periodically switch to a third person perspective. Your character even emits his own shadow from multiple light sources which are also among the best lighting effects in the history of gaming. There are many different enemy types and each one can provide a tough challenge even on recruit difficulty. The impressive A.I. bounds from cover to cover and flanks you if given the opportunity. Any dissapointments killzone 1 had were fixed in this game. Possibly the best shooter sequel ever in terms of improvements in quality. In terms of graphics -well- what can I see about killzone 2's visuals that hasn't already been said. The visuals are simply phenomenal and the frame rests at a smooth 30fps while screen tearing is non-existent. The artful use of excellent cell-shading and textures are beautiful. Sadly, the game features no co-op but the campaign and multiplayer provide a great experience. The campaign stays true to the killzone storyline and does a good job of keeping the player interested. The Helghast have a more dramatic presence and the ending provides a nice cliff-hanger for a sequel. The story could have used more depth as we no relatively little about the Helghast and ISA motives for war but otherwise the plot is easy to follow and the voice acting is good. The multiplayer is similar to games like team fortress or battlefield as it focuses on classes. Good teamwork and diverse use of classes are the key to winning online. Dedicated servers improve the reliability of the game, and the maps are fun to play. All in all, Killzone 2 progresses the killzone series forward and is a worthy sequel.… Expand

As a FPS Killzone 2 is one of the best on the ps3, and I usually don't like FPS controlls on consoles, and Killzone 2 does it well enough. I liked the shooting elements and the arsenal of weapons. Shooting off helghast hemets with a pistol is allways awsome. The flamethrower, shotgun and sniper rifle also break up the usual action. The graphics in the game are incredible in a way that few other FPS's could do but it still lacks something. The characters movement is stiff at times and the transitions between cutscenes and gameplay are way too obvious. The dialog is absolutely terrible, the worst part of the game. The story is like world war 2 in the future where the helghast are some kind of space natzis. The online is where the game shines the most, as the core gameplay is at it's best online. The maps aren't huge but they are smartly built. Every part of the map is usefull for tactics and you'l find yourself enjoying these maps a long time. As the third game came out, being almost identical to it's predecessor, it's allways nice to remember this game.

Especially on the highest setting this is very important to keep the game fresh and challenging. The second reason I love this game is the visuals - the smoke obsuring your view ect is unlike any other game and adds to the adrenaline rush of playing through it. Ironically this is also one small fault of this title. Despite awesome graphics there are lots of times the game very briefly pauses to catch up and although the catch up is minimal it does interfere with the immersion of the gameplay. Two other small faults hamper this game: your AI buddies do seem to get in your way quite often and some chapters start you off with really low powered weapons inappropriate for the situation. I find this quite annoying rather than immersive to the storyline. Apart from these small issues Killzone 2 is top in class. Apart from the FEAR series you will not be treated to such good AI that you actually feel you are taking on a real fantasy group of enemies with more than half a brain each which is typical of almost all other shooters.… Expand

First of all the graphics on this game are the best I've seen on almost every game out there. They are just as good as Uncharted 2, in my opinion. You combine this with great gameplay, realistic controls, a great clan and squad system, good physics, and you have a stunning multiplayer that will keep you busy for hours and days to come.

    The single player is well paced and action packed enough to enjoy despite the lack of a strong storyline. The multiplayer is incredibly addictive. It's a skill based FPS and one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

The game can be played in organized manner, but it is not forced onto the player. Good organized teams will have no problem dominating the map.

    Add to this a good set of well designed maps, several fun modes, ability of users to create your own custom online games, password protected games. You can play against AI bots and with AI bots and you can invite your friends to AI bot game as well.

    The single player story is fun. The end game fight is not fun and feels like a cheap way to make battle tough. If you read online on the final fight you will find that many people say the same about final fight.

    I have played major online shooter games:
    All of Call of Duty games starting with 4 (fun, but got worse with every release after CoD 4)
    Medal of Honor (crap) Resistance fall of Man (original). It is good, but it is not fun by now.

    Killzone 2 is by far my favorite online shooter game out of the listed above.    … Expand

    Awesome singleplayer, addictive multiplayer, amazing graphics and gameplay. By far my fave first person shooter (FPS) out there. What more can i say? Cannot wait till Killzone 3, that will probably be the only game that will surpass killzone 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Killzone 2 manages to be an awesome game from the beginning till the end. The single player is more than satisfying, BUT the multiplayer is just something that will knock you out. I fell instantly in love with the whole game. I can easily say that Killzone 2 is the best FPS that I have ever played and I really mean it.… Expand

    Some people may find that the controls are "bad" but I think they feel like this due to the realistic game physics. You can actually feel the heavyness of your character unlike other FPS where you just feel like moving a camera around.

    An awesome FPS that takes a lot to finish. The only downfall is that it can get you a headache just by playing for a few minutes. It's a bit too intense.

    They told us that this game would look amazing. They were right. What we forgot about is that it would also be an incredibly responsive FPS with a great online component. Oh and it looks amazing.

    This game once agian has went over my expectations. Graphics are the best I have ever seen in an interactive genre. Story is very dramatic and movie like. The only draw back about this game is the controls that have been improved dramactically due to the patches and you are able to change them in the options. So controls are no problem anymore.

    This game really is the best FPS I have ever played. Its everything that an FPS SHOULD be, frantic, chaotic, intense, gory, and difficult.

I cant say best single player, but its AMAZINGLY good for FPS. The enemy AI is superb, they will flush you out, flank you and cut you down. Its a real challenge. And they are such imposing tagerts too, red eyes, deathly voices and a unqestionable willingness to die for helghan and to take you down with them as they die. Its INTENSE. The story is actually great, if you read it on KZ.com, but its not expressed right in the game, leaving many to feel there is none, especially those who have not played KZ1. Online is where I think it shines. Frantic battles, chaos, grenades going off, ATACs shooting from above, turrerts from below, invisible snipers on your tail, saboteurs disguising themselves as your team, tactical insertion points..... its just amazing. Sure, the controls are a bit heavy, but give it a week. Once you get used to them, you wil love them. Turn up the sensitivity on the options will ease it up even better Any FPS fan should own this game… Expand

    Outstanding game. Was one of the most amazing gaming experiences in my life. You were thrown into a world of chaos and misery. Blood shed left and right. You felt like you were in the sh!t. The AI was very impressive and would say has set the new standers for a single player experience.

    Stunning visuals and enormous replay value (especially with the online multiplayer) are the biggest plusses that this ps3 exclusive has to offer. It lags noticably in the single-player story campaign and the controls can be quite cumbersome at first. But when it's all said and done the package is complete and hella satisfying.

    This game is amazing. I have never played a more immersive FPS. In some parts of the single player, you are literally fighting for every inch, and sometimes you get pushed back. It feels like a real world. And the online mode is superb. The class system works great with plenty of unlockables. This game will last you for hours on in.

    It's true that Killzone 2 is filled with moments that can handily be described as inspiring awe. Each scene is incredibly well detailed, from the gaps in jerry-rigged cover points letting you sneak in a killing headshot to scarred and scratched textures, the planet feels entirely believable... Without a doubt Killzone fans, action and shooter fans of any stripe will instantly tag this sequel as a powerful contender for best game of 2009. [Feb 2009, p.38]

    Killzone 2’s secret ingredient is the fluidity in gameplay that we have come to enjoy more than its graphical prowess or jaw-dropping visuals. And that’s what games have always been about... We're surprised to see Killzone 2 blows our expectations out of the water with a memorable SP campaign and a stellar MP component. To put it short, this game makes "Gears of War 2" look like a high school attempt at gaming and that is a HUGE compliment!
