Description

Face the fury of the Helghan! 

The objective of the game

Killzone 2 is a game that screams conflicts all around. 

As you can imagine, it’s packed with enemies attack from all sides. Furthermore, the environment is surrounded by violent electrical storms making the sky a toxic one. The land is battered and destroyed by hurricane winds.

Unfortunately, the magnitude of what lies ahead becomes quickly clear. What lies ahead seems to be more than just a battle against a fierce adversary. One can only brace itself for a level of hostility no soldier has ever experienced before. 

How it feels to play it

Killzone 2 has a more realistic, feel than other science fiction games. This game feels more like a World War II game in space. Furthermore, most weapons used are very similar to modern-day armories. And there’s a constant emphasis on finding and using cover.

Although the single-player battle is impressively large and varied the game’s advantage comes from the multiplayer. The new class-based game modes mean everyone gets to pick various roles according to how they prefer to play, with groups of players teaming up to take on their opponents.
