Abstract: The ISA and Hellghast are at it again. The question is, was it necessary and is it better than the last round? Let’s take a walk through the Killzone and hopefully survive to see the other side. Right from the get go, things don’t look great.The openin...

Abstract: If we had to describe Killzone 2 in one word, after careful deliberation we'd plump for 'grey'. While nailing the Helghast troops was undeniably entertaining, and those glowing red eyes gave us the willies even after switching the PS3 off, the game's e...

Top-notch action and gunplay; improved multiplayer; Malcolm McDowell's voicework steals the show; great visuals.

Core shooting action is weighty and satisfying, Campaign is filled with interesting setpiece battles, Terrific maps make competitive play an absolute blast, More environmental and gameplay variety than before, Astonishing visuals.
The story is awful, Coop play is local only and is hampered by frame rate problems, Not all changes to the online multiplayer are for the better.
Weighty shooting action and magnificent visuals collide in this great follow-up....
