Killzone 2 (Playstation 3, 2009)

Singleplayer

The singleplayer has a nice story but negligible, especially scores the game with a grand look, exciting battles, beautiful artdesign, fine sound and a decent portion tactics (cover, alternative routes, etc.). The whole is but a matter of taste, it is rather a bleak scenario, the atmosphere in the future, playing Call of Duty is not large and Boss monsters, aliens and / or offers varied scenarios. You fight in a war against the Helghast, on an inhospitable planet, it's dusty, drecking and gray! Thus, the entire color palette of the game described. Jungle? Beach? Colorful colors? Nothing doing! It is only logical for the developers, I like the scenario, no, I love it, others could make the whole graphically quickly find boring.

The AI (Artificial Intelligence) of the soldiers is a beautiful, at least on higher difficulty levels. It is flanked to cover gehechtet, the positions changed and where barrage. Man himself is constantly under pressure, is forced into the cover and is also due to the mission objectives is always forced to move. An extremely exciting and challenging shooter in a class.

What do not like is that you are always only a small weapon and a large weapon may carry. At least two large would have been desirable. The problem, I suppose shot, I'm the enemy in me from the distant beharken, badly off, I take the sniper rifle, the soldier in me rankommen hard to defeat. The strong opponents, the levels varied - you are constantly ahead of other challenges and need a weapon which can do because you only have a slot. What remains are light and heavy machine guns. A pity because the variety of weapons is here!

Another point of the Singleplayer - the enemies are quite differently. Rarely there is armor, drones, or otherwise designed elite troops. Here a little variety would have done well, finally, is the color / level also quite differently.

Another point of criticism: For Release no co-op mode!

Despite the criticisms Killzone is a game in Singleplayer grenade and gleams with crisp groovy gameplay.

Rating: 8.5 / 10

MULTIPLAYER

For me THE REASON TO BUY! The servers are not yet online, but I have with bots tried pretty much everything. The maps are fantastic designs! Diversified, narrow streets meet vast fields with tremendous vision, there are countless freischaltbare classes, weapons and special powers. These rankings, clans, PlayStation league etc! The best is but the dynamic gameplay! No multiplayer shooter offers these dynamics. You play not just Capture the Flag or Teamdeatmatch - the goals are constantly changing. It begins and must e.g. Centers are taking, after 5 min is obtained by radio command a particular opposing player auzuschalten and one from his team to protect, then you have a radio in the base bring. There are umpteen different goals / missions. Constantly in motion, you have to adapt, rearrange, tactically different approach! GRANDIOS!


They play all the classes are different and all equally important tactically! Mark sniper targets, Commander seztzen on the map additional spawn points in connection with the dynamic missions really bring spice inside, there are healers, saboteurs, etc.!

I have a lot of multiplayer games a lot and long gezockt, Killzone 2 is an Gears of War, Halo or Call of Duty 4 loose (!) In the bag! For me the multiplayer reference.
