"Not too long ago Guerrilla Games gave Killzone 2 players their first map pack called Steel and Titanium. The two maps were based off of the levels found in the campaign mode. For their second map pack, Flash and Thunder, they wanted to give Killzone players a blast from the past. The two new maps are remakes of fan favorite maps from the original Killzone on PS2. The remakes of Southern Hills and Beach Head both have interesting environments that lead to the name of the map pack. \"
"In terms of sheer visual brilliance, I’d put this title up there amongst the likes of Gears of War 2 on the 360. The visual landscape really brings out a feeling that there is a large scale war taking place."
"But unfortunate for Guerrilla, loosely combined moments and protracted battles never work beyond the online space. There, circumstance can boil down to “run here and shoot this” with little stretch of the imagination. Yet contrary to that relative bluntness, singleplayer needs context and pace to survive: It needs the power of an evenhanded storyteller."
Does the epic battle between the ISA and the Helghast take the PlayStation 3 to knew heights? With the fight now taking place on Helghan, there are all new environments and weaponry that creates some memorable moments. Check out our in-depth review of Killzone 2.
The reviews for Killzone 2 have been an ample source of discussion, some reviewers praising it as the leading contender for GOTY09, despite its early release, whilst others grimace over the time it took for Guerilla to actually finish the game. Extra Ammo will divide the review process into two articles; reviewing the offline component and online component. In this online review, the site grants Killzone 2's Warzone mode a stellar 9.2
"That action is enhanced by groundbreaking visuals that elevate Killzone 2 to the head of its class. Both technically and artistically, this is a real stunner. You'll first notice the obvious expressions of its technical prowess: environments jam-packed with objects and textured architectural details, pipes and crumbling rebar jutting from dilapidated buildings, and gorgeous lighting that drenches market squares and sandy battlefields with an incandescent glow...

"Even if you don't own a PS3, buy a copy anyway and wish real hard for the gaming fairies to bring you a new console. When that fails, feel free to steal your friend's unit and then pretend to feel bad when he tells you about how somebody broke into his house, stole his PS3 and kicked his dog."
Back in 2005 at E3; Killzone 2 was shown to the world. This video amazed ever one demonstrating the raised standard with regards to graphics with almost life like visuals. It looked like nothing at the time would top the Playstation 3's capabilities.
"The Closing Line- If Halo 3, Gears 2, Call of Duty 4 and Killzone 2 were released on the same day, we would pick this game up leaving all other shooters to whine and cry about. This game may not put up a revolutionary stance apart from the visuals, but it does everything else pretty remarkably to give its consumers an enthralling and engaging experience. Love or hate the PS3, no-one can ignore the beauty this game brings, it is a necessary title for this generation and worth buying/owning a P..."
There have been reviews on Killzone 2 from other reviewers, like IGN and UGO, but now it's Gametrailer's time.
It's very a positive review, and I agree with most of the things the reviewer has said (which is rare).
Final Score = 9.2
"Is it possible for the hype of a game to completely fuel both its designers and its fans eagerly awaiting its release? In the case of Guerrilla Games' upcoming Killzone 2, the answer is an emphatic yes; the developers knew that they wanted to meet or surpass the action of the now infamous E3 trailer and have been trying to perfect their anticipated shooter. As far as fans were concerned, they were hoping that Killzone 2 would be the system seller and showcase for the PlayStation 3 -- a game t..."
Killzone 2 appears to be living up to the hype so far, the first review score coming away very positive. OPM US according to this source (unfortunately in German) gave the game a score of 5/5, as well as reviewing several other games. It is a bare bones affair, but is at least an indicator of the quality of the title.
