    There is so much more to tell about Heroes VI but despite my best efforts, it is almost impossible to convey just how much it feels like a heroes game. Read more

    • Very much a Heroes game, best of the series.
    • Don’t forget to feed yourself every now and then.

    Sony’s heavy hitter comes out swinging for the fences. Did you know the equipment soldiers have to carry on the battlefield is heavy? Read more

    • + Intense immersion, + Stunning graphics, + Fun multiplayer
    • Lackluster story, Long loading times

    When it comes down to it, Killzone 2 is a sublimely crafted title for the PS3. It delivers on our expectations with a modest and intelligent twist on the overcrowded FPS genre. Read more

    "Killzone 2" was certainly worth the long wait, the cover-based single player campaign may be a tad short, although it’s certainly memorable and has a smart opposition army to contend with, whilst the multiplayer is up Read more

    • The cover system works very nice, The Helghast are a clever bunch, Visually spectacular
    • Poor team-mate AI, No co-op, Story could have been better

    • Unrivaled graphic quality, Excellent 7.1 surround sound, Bombastic soundtrack, Mostly decent voice acting, Warzone mode is fantastic and has legs

    Two years into the console's life cycle, the undoubted graphical potential of the machine has been realised - Killzone 2 unleashes the power of the PS3 - nothing on any console comes close. Read more

    • Frantic, relentless action, Brilliant multiplayer, The best graphics we've ever seen

    Killzone 2 is after LittleBigPlanet the second game for the PS3 that manages to fulfil the hype despite huge pressure. Killzone 2 truly looks amazing, plays swiftly and has one hell of a multiplayer, but on the other hand it... Read more

    Killzone 2 was one of the most hyped games to be released on the PlayStation 3. It first debuted at E3 2005 when Sony (along with Killzone 's developer Guerrilla Games) showed a brief trailer showcasing superb visuals... Read more

    I look at Killzone 2 as two games hiding under the guise of one. The first offers a decent if intense single player campaign mode utilizing some amazing tech and engine power we can only hope Sony finds a way to propagate to... Read more

    • Ridiculously good looking game, Immersive is an understatement, Multiplayer is destined for greatness
    • Single player not as innovative, Drab color palette starts to wear after awhile, No co-op for campaign

    Overall a decent shooter for the PS3. I purchased a PS3 a few months ago for a top quality Blu Ray player that also could play some select game titles, Killzone 2 and MGS4 were the two games I got with it. Read more

    • The Graphics in this game are quite decent, yet I wouldn't say they were as breathtaking as some other games I've seen.
    • My biggest gripe would be the single player campaign. The story was essentially non-existent. This may be a result of me not playing the first one, but I can usually pick up what is going on pretty well. All I got from thi...

    I was not very impressed with Killzone 2. It's not a bad game, but it isn't anything special, either Read more

    Killzone 2 is a great looking game with a solid story, but the meat of the game is in multiplayer. Earning ribbons to unlock badges that will allow you to customize your kits. Read more

    Overall I would rate Killzone 2 as a 8 out of 10 Sony might have found itself a Halo killer considering the lackluster show of Halo 3 or something close to it. So rent it today and give it a try. Read more

  8. Killzone 2 - Platinum Edition (PS3): Lovely, Gritty, and Intense. Weighty FPS.

    If you are really into fps's, it is an excellent game. Infuriating for everyone else though. Read more
