Since its hyped reveal in 2005, Killzone 2 has been touted as a platform-defining title. Play it and you'll be consumed in a graphical orgy, fulfilling your ever fanboy dream. However, give it longer than 5 minutes and you'll quickly become acquainted with the visuals, leaving you to realise that you're playing an almost sub-par game featuring a terrible control system. For example, lower the sensitivity enough to perform pixel perfect aiming and you'll rewarded with a spin so long you'll be killed two times over before you've even glimpsed the arsehole behind you. To make matters worse, the enemies can take bullets better than most action heroes, to the extent that at times you're left to sprint past the ever spawning bastards just to make progress. Not satisfying! The storyline doesn't do the game any favours either. You're placed in a squad of unhelpful dickheads, fighting for what seems to be the wrong team. But then again, the other guys dress like Nazis so they must be evil right? Overall, this game is solid, but other than the visuals, it's really nothing special.
