Hype did not influence this review. It did not grab this reviewer by the throat and force out an absurdly low or obscenely high score. Hype is not the master of our judgment. If anything, the mysterious entity of extremely positive expectation that floats around the Internet contaminating children might have influenced a reader of this review (or one of our early previews). There's even a chance you have bought into the hype and are now glancing over this justification of a 7.5 rating and wondering why Killzone is not the greatest thing ever -- thinking that 7.5 is somehow synonymous with awful. Hype will do its evil to the best of us.

First, 7.5 is a statement of worth. It's a rating we assign to quality titles with a fair helping of problems. 7.5 describes a game that could be rented or bought, but should definitely be played by fans, enthusiasts, and casual gamers seeking more out of the genre. That's exactly what Killzone is -- a good game with problems that should be played.
In the future, mankind has spread beyond the confines of the Sol system and has colonized the many worlds of many stars. Sometime during this expansionary phase humanity splits into two major factions: the clean living ISA and the exiled Helghast who settled on an inhospitable world that has since altered their form. Bitter and hardened by an existence wrought with peril, the Helghast now march to reclaim territory and to obliterate the Earth loyal ISA.

In Killzone, players assume the role of an ISA soldier named Templar, who quickly gets three squad mates: Luger the assassin, Rico the heavy gunner, and Hakha the Helghan traitor. Mates or not, Killzone is not a conventional squad-based shooter -- it is not Rainbow Six. A very simple artificial intelligence scheme commands these indestructible allies about, where they're charged with doing considerate things like drawing fire and occasionally shooting.

not bad

I think this game is very cool. I could kill people for hours with all kinds of weapons. Althought story mode is better then battlefeilds because there are tanks, ships, and planes that you can shoot at and blow up with a rocket launcher and other weapons. I think halo is much better, but if you only have a ps2 then killzone would be awesome.

Killzone

Good shooter, not a Halo killer though, hopefully Killzone 2 will make us all satisfied with all the hype its getting. Animations when switching weapons and reloadings neat
