Killzone 2 is one of those games that you find really fun for about a month then just stop playing after that. You play the game for awhile, but then you just realize that you have quite a few other games that you can play for PS3. Gameplay does feel very different compared to other games. The guns feel very "real". By real I mean they would feel real in a WW2 game. Every time you shoot your gun, recoil makes it go off in a random direction, even when looking down the sights. I get why you would think this is realistic, but when your army is extremely advanced in terms of technology, you would thinnk they would greatly improve things like recoil. The recoil thing is all about the game feeling gritty. The gritty feel makes you like a you're really part of a very violent war. The downside is that the graphics never vary, you're just looking at different shades of grey the entire game. If you're looking for a varied game, get Resistance 2 instead of this. People were also extremely excited about the first person cover system. I now know there's a reason other games never had a first person cover system. If the game has a duck and lean button, then you can use all the first person cover you want. The first person cover system also just doesn't work very well. You can't take cover behind a lot of things that would make sense.
Multiplayer is fun. Until you reach the top rank, which takes roughly five days. After that though, the game is done. There's just nothing else to do. You would just rather play other games. Maybe this is because the lack of variety in weapons, maybe it's because the game is so repetitive, I'm not sure why but it just stops being fun. The worst part about this is that just a couple days before, the game was one of the most fun things I had ever played. This just makes it even more dissapointing.
Conclusion
Killzone 2 is fun, really fun, but play for a while and you just don't feel like playing it anymore. Also it's a little too gritty for my taste. Seriously even the most realistic games of the last few years aren't this ridiculously gritty, not even Gears of War 2. You could do much worse than Killzone 2, but you can also do MUCH MUCH better with games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance 2. Oh yeah I also forgot to mention that this game is EXTREMELY cliche.
