OVERALL RATING:9.4/10
Gameplay: 9.5
The game plays off the disk (unlike some PS3 titles that load a lot of data to the hard drive), and so rather than out-and-out load times, you may encounter a few slow-downs. Still this is nothing to fret about. The controls are tight and well realized.
Graphics: 9.4
The particle effects are excellent and the animations are well done. This is a game that assaults the eyes with as much enthusiasm as the ISA attacks on the Helghast.
Sound: 8.9
Some of the voice work could have been better, but the game uses 7.1 surround sound and if you crank the volume, you will find this as much an aural treat as a visual one.
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
Concept: 9.0
The first foray into the PS3 uses a solid storyline, some familiar themes, but inserts an intensity that makes for a solid gaming experience.
Multiplayer: 9.5
SCEA set up multiplayer sessions and these were a lot of fun. Challenging? Yes, but not only is this a reflexive exercise in some regards, but the dev team took care to make certain the environment was a factor.
Overall: 9.4
This is quite a ride on several fronts – visually, aurally and in intensity. You will be challenged, but more importantly, you should have a lot of fun. Killzone 2 was one of those games that have been highly anticipated and the product that is heading for release lives up to expectations.
