Eurogamer Germany Review Killzone 2

Eurogamer.de: "Killzone 2 is not the variety the game, from simply can never get enough. Quite the contrary: It is in the course of almost ten campaign by some situations that require an all, a true leaching and wear until you need a break. Only when the pad then for a few minutes in the corner is, you realize how tense you before you play around each corner lugte how schwitzig fingers really are and how deep it was just there, in this virtual science fiction war.

That this is so, is anything but random: Guerrilla has contaminated scrap metal from the square of Helghan very deliberately ruthless together and straight-shooter, which is technically and artistically over any competitors.The tactical component, the middle of intense feeling and the great online mode should not only hardcore gamers very well, but also underline that the team from the mistakes of the first part has learned - even if the physical as accurate crumbling facades Helghans with increasing playing some annoying quirks bare.

Still a good score, If KZ2 scores less than an 8, the reviewers better have a damn good reason. 8-10 is a fair score for the game.

Trollimite5587d ago

now kotaku can drop their score by a whole point, 7.5

Maddens Raiders5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

they are griping because of the difficult aiming during fierce firefights, difficult a.i. and boss battles? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

" A never-ending assault course culminates in an extensive unfair boss encounter, and took on the normal difficulty level as much as 57 of my attempts to complete."

57 times!!!!??? because you suck...

I can't wait to play this game.

HighDefinition5587d ago

Gaming Journalism is in a sad sad place. I won`t be surprised to see some 7/10s soon. It`s sad cause alot of the just do it to be cool/different and other do it for hits. Obviously some won`t enjoy it, but the kinda of things your seeing points deducted for is hilarious.....No Co-op, being to normal, Only being a 10hr SP campaign,difficulty, etc.

sonarus5587d ago

@Trollmite i find your comment hilarious because kotaku doesn't do scores lol

To be quite honest i thought this game would get butchered. So far its holding up pretty well. All these random 8/10 scores don't even show up on metacritic at the end of the day. Still has 95 on metacritic which would put it above MGS4 which is BS imo lol:o

HighDefinition5587d ago

Kotaku does N/As

N/A for PS3 from Kotaku secretly equals a 5 though. shhhhhhhh

StephanieBBB5587d ago

Yeah down scoring a game because it doesn't make you feel like a god squishing puny enemies as you plow thru the game is kinda stupid.

What ever happend to skill and tactics?

Marceles5587d ago

I wonder if they've played COD5...

Sitdown5587d ago

A whole point from 8 would be a 7.....or did I miss something?

tordavis5587d ago

Even if the game gets a 6, it should not change your decision to purchase this game. Most reviews are done by one person. So it's one persons opinion.

GrieverSoul5587d ago

@Marceles

I bet he never got a platinum trophy for CoD.WaW!
This guy is lowreing a score because he doesnt have enough skill to beat it in normal? Talk about a wrong person in a good job!

get2sammyb5587d ago

8/10 is still an excellent score considering the amount of scepticism that surrounded this game.

BattleAxe5587d ago

All of these scores are really good and impressive considering that it doesn't seem that Sony paid for high scores like MS and HALO.

andron5587d ago

It's Eurogamer after all.

But what's up with his aiming challenged ways? Why don't they get a seasoned FPS player to review a FPS game?

SiLeNt KNighT5586d ago

You can tell people aren't very smart when they use the built in thesaurus for every other word. This review is BS. An 8/10 is a pretty good score, thats not my complaint. The vocabulary and poor usage of it is evident the person is trying to sound smarter than they really are.

The Real Review that matters to me on Killzone 2 = MyDamnSelf!

likedamaster5586d ago

8 seems around what the game deserves.

I kid.

LoVeRSaMa5586d ago

Noone cares what Germany Thinks.

(From UK ;P)

Danja5586d ago

the Cons what the reviewer pointed out...is actually what makes the game good..lol....

ne ways...already got this game pre-ordered....

chidori6665587d ago

danmit this score is in metacritics.

Kushan5587d ago

So?

Who cares if it's overall score gets taken down a little bit, is that in any way going to affect your enjoyment of the game?
Are you going to be playing it and thinking "Damn, this was fun, but if only metacritic rated it a bit higher, maybe it'd be more fun"?

It's still a good score, 8/10 is extremely respectable, the problem is that diehard fanboys are so incredibly elitist, they turn their nose up at anything below a 9, when in reality on a 1-10 score, a 6 should be above average.

Stryfeno25587d ago

Great score...Nice review too.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro74d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7274d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_74d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga73d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2373d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200074d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin74d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole74d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix74d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198974d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198974d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar378d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor378d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar378d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg377d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149377d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138378d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim378d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC378d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138378d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle378d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76378d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM377d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger377d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca378d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal378d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright378d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183749d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183749d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149749d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
