The long awaited Killzone 2 is finally released and it definitely reminds you why you liked the first one. This game has a well paced campaign that keeps you in action all of the time with very cool weapons that are fun to shoot. The game is also visually stunning providing a game that no one has experienced before. Also the online multiplayer is a great addition which constantly rewards you and the maps are well balanced. However, the controls can feel a bit tacky for some people but can easily be changed and the story / characters can be forgetful. Overall though, this game is a very good shooter and if you liked the first Killzone, there is no reason you shouldn’t like the second. It is literally an upgrade and one of the best PS3 FPS to date.
Pros:
+ Well-paced campaign keeps you in the thick of action
+ Great online play constantly rewards you
+ Intricate, balanced multiplayer maps
+ Weapons are beefy and fun to shoot
+ Visually stunning, both technically and artistically
Cons:
- Forgettable story and characters
- Tacked-on motion controls can be difficult for some but easily changed
Extras:

if you’re bitching about the controls, just set them to alternate 2 since everybody nowadays is so used to COD4’s controls. otherwise, good review.
This is true. Changing the controls does help a bit. Guess I should change that around a bit in the review since for some people it doesn’t really bother them.
