Customer Reviews

Utterly Underrated
I agree with other interviews about being initially put off with all the (misguided) early comparisons with Halo. When I got this game it was cheap and WHAT A BARGAIN! It's got atmosphere, an interesting story, and most of all - the gameplay rocks.

The weapons feel like they could be real and despite being Sci-Fi they're absolutely spot on. Only recently with games like Half-Life 2 and CofD 4 do you really need have the to nail your target unless you're using major hardware. Tonnes of fun.

An overlooked gem.

killzone
is awesome...ive had it for so long now, and im still playing the mutiplayer games with the bots, with my mates. we jus take it in turns on the multiplayer team deathmatch games and theyre fun and it hasnt bored me yet with over 2-3 years

Great yet flawed....a mixed bag
To begin with the gritty nature of the game has you totally in awe, thrown immediately into the action, the sounds off gunshot accompanied by the gruff shouting from enemies & comrades drawing you into a game that looks like Grant Mitchell in a bad mood. And for the first few levels it is massive fun to play too. Then, halfway through you notice the flaws. Enemies should not be able to endure 50 head shots before being killed, nor should they stand still shouting as you proceed to riddle them with bullets. Your comrades will willingly walk right in front of you as you open fire. To begin with shooting endlessly is what makes the game such loud manic fun, but as the difficulty increases it becomes increasingly frustrating as the odds seemed stacked against you as you are not only outnumbered but presented with seemingly superhuman enemy. Equally frustrating is the control system which often finds you circling around desperately trying to find the exact place required to enable you to take control of say a machine gun, only to die because the game is so fussy as forcing you to stand in a precise spot before allowing you to activate such a weapon. Believe me, working your way through a level for half an hour only to die and start again because of such a flaw is incredibly frustrating. Up to halfway through the game this would have achieved a top score as one of the best FPS games around, instead it is a mixed bag, fun and frustrating in equal measures.
