Miffed Killzone

A great game, I recommend it, people keep saying it isn't a halo killer, but it isn't really like halo, nor is it intended to be.

Has anyone actually played it? smokin'

this game was such a letdown. It had great graphics and the environments were cool, but the gameplay was bad. Online, the hit detection was awful, and in the single player, the AI was terrible. The missions were just too linear, and that sniper rifle - horrid. I really had hoped for more.

I just grabbed the Bet on Soldier demo for PC, and it's interesting in that the graphical style is very similar to Killzone, but the game plays a heck of a lot better. Here's to hoping Killzone 2 for PS3 is better.

someone responded eek!

Now I disagree, the environments were on of a kind, and I liked the weapon styles on there.

I haven't played online too much, and that was my biggest complaint, and the AI isn't any different than what I experienced with halo.

I also liked the darker feel of it all.

KILLZONE

___________________________________

I thought it was great. I bought it a week after it came out and still play it regulary. The graphics are awesome and the action was fast and relentless... Online is a perk if you have this game...

Killzone is a sweet looking FPS for the Playstation 2. It kills anything else ever released for the system. The game has a dark side and it really shows off what the hardware can do when tweaked around with. The levels all look very tight. The textures in the game are nice, detailed and clear. I have played many Playstation 2 FPS and they always end up having that jaggy look and watered down textures. Normally when you walk up to something like a fence in a FPS, you will see a pixilated mess. Killzone squashed those horrible messes. You can walk right up to things like fences and barbed wire and it looks detailed. No jaggy looks, no pixilated mess.

If you look up at the sky it will be bright. The brightness makes the things high above, such as streetlights and towering buildings look soft. I really like the destruction of the places in the game. Buildings have large holes blown into them. Streets are cracked and opened up. It looks pretty sweet. The characters all look great as well. I saw about half a dozen enemies come from behind a building. And there was no slowdown. The frame-rate just kept moving along steady. I played this game on my flat screen TV and I was floored when I was about 30 seconds into the game. Killzone does what other FPS could not do on the Playstation 2 system. The game just looks great. Bottom line is IMO - Buy it.

Game Details:

Developed by Guerrilla, in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Santa Monica Studios, Killzone is a squad-based, first-person shooter, set in the near future during a period of planetary colonization. Drawing inspiration from classical military conflicts of the 20th century, Killzone captures the intense reality of warfare between the ISA Command and a ruthless, militaristic separatist faction called the Helghast.

Featuring four playable characters, Killzone provides several gameplay modes including single-player, multiplayer and online play for up to 16 players. Players can equip themselves with an armory of more than 27 different weapons inspired from today’s modern weaponry. In particular, there are 21 first-person weapons that the player can carry, five emplaced weapons, and hand grenades. More than 45 levels, encompassing 11 intricately detailed environments showcase the harsh setting of a war-ridden planet, coupled with a unique graphical style designed to capture the grit and realism of intense military engagements.

STORYLINE
For years, the success of planetary colonization has resulted in several planets to become inhabited by humans. While the majority of colonies have aligned to form the ISA, the Helghast, a ruthless, militaristic separatist faction have distanced themselves secretly planning to scale an all out war.

Killzone takes place during the initial Helghast blitzkrieg of the nearby colony of Vekta. As Vekta City’s orbital defenses mysteriously fail, the Helghast have been able to land and deploy their troops rapidly and with ease. As the planetary defense forces become overrun and scattered into the city, the initial objective as an ISA member is to escort a high-ranking official to an evacuation point.

KEY FEATURES

Killzone is the premier first-person shooter, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.

Killzone is an epic conflict, set in the near future, between an elite squad of human ISA forces versus the invasion of the Helghast.

Killzone features a unique graphical style to capture the grit and realism of intense military engagements.

Killzone is inspired by the classical military engagements of human history (ex: trench battles of WWI, city sieges of WWII and guerilla warfare in the jungles of Vietnam).

Killzone is an immersive cinematic experience integrated into several gameplay modes featuring single player, multiplayer and online.

Online broadband gameplay supports up to 16 players coupled with voice-chat technology via the USB Headset (for PlayStation 2).

reasonable game...some aspects were very poorly executed...as robotfighter mentioned...the sniper rifle was utterly terrible

they didn't make that much use of stationary weapons either with the exception of the mounted gun on the first level

and it was a bit short and far too easy as well

The sniper was ok, but it could've used dual analog.

I did love the environment and feel though, to me the Ai was no worse than halo...

mmm...not sure about that...the AI (or artificial stupidity as it should be known) is laughable at parts in killzone...the last level on the space station where there is the glass room with the corridors leading up to it...and also out from the top of it

you wait under the stairs out of site of the main room and let him march one after the other into the path of your machine guns...pretty dumb if you ask me

Like I said in multiplayer its better, single player isn't great, but it can function.

At least you do get to kill bots in multiplayer.

AR, artificial retardation, lol.

Nice cutscenes. Average game.

Brilliant stylising, but a bit TOO drab for a videogame. Would work in short bursts.

I'd have to say miss.

Although I did enjoy the nice graphics, cool environments, and some of the weapons, there were two many drag-downs.

First of all, no jump button. I don't care what kind of FPS you make, you need to have a jump button.

The sniper rifle was horrible. 'Nuff said.

The game was extremely linear. One path to go down... that's about it.

I didn't take it online, so I can't truely comment on that, but I have heard the stories. wink

Overall, not much fun for me...

Goleneye didn't have a jump button, then again it was a game that was so well designed you didn't need one, or was made aware that you could do with one.

A game with no jump function that mkaes the player want to jump is badly designed. It's just bad level design matched with ill-suited game mechanics. Killzone is an example of this.

I would have given this game a shot, but I'm not too good at FPS's for consoles... Keyboard and mouse is just so much better, more superior.

Most shooters suffer from this though, the no jump button linearity.

Granted killzone wasn't perfect, and it shouldn't be compared to halo being so different, but it should and I hope will improve.
