Everywhere we read that Killzone 2 is a ‘topper’, ‘the most beautiful PlayStation 3 game, until now’, ‘the Gears of War for Sony’s console” and so on. But is Killzone 2 really that good?
Gamers among the visitors of Tweakers.net have him already, of course, long read: the review of Killzone 2 Tweakers.net. The game scores a beautiful nine, and the review runs thus in step with the global consensus. Everywhere we read that Killzone 2 is a ‘topper’, ‘the most beautiful PlayStation 3 game, until now’, ‘the Gears of War for Sony’s console” and so on. But is Killzone 2 really that good?
Not if the English magazine Edge. The magazine gives the game a seven as a number. For comparison: Edge gave Gears of War 2 a nine-and-FEAR 2 recently a eight. What I Edge find? I find it the most dull, overestimated leaf from the industry, and are numerical ratings, I take them for many years more seriously. Kudos, however, for the format of Edge. I freelance for Power Unlimited, and I would like that every month such a phenomenal formatted magazine in the shops could put. But when it comes to construction becomes the policy of Edge either.
The joke is that the industry itself is still walking away with Edge. Every developer will find it really quite an honor to be in Edge to be allowed to stand, and admittedly, the depth of Edge, are very knowledgeable. However, it is very funny in the one song a very thorough and comprehensive article about a game in the making to see, and a few months later to read how the same game hard is afgezeken. Also notable: the number of copies of Edge has been waning. Publisher Future holds, however, to grip it tightly at the sheet, because it is his hobby. In addition, Future enough other sheets, that the limited revenues of Edge to compensate.
Themselves the creators that Edge is The Best Games Journalism In The World offers. I would thereof like to make The Most Cynical Games Journalism In The World’. If I the reviews in Edge read, they seem to mostly be written by sour men who have nothing more fun to find only the errors in the games know to exposure, and that there is pleasure in creating games completely razed to the ground. Please note, a critical look is good, and yes, there is quite some crap in the games every month. But as we Edge must believe it is a great vale of tears in gamescountry, and we have to ask ourselves what we would have to do behind our pc and game console.
The review in Edge Killzone 2 has, however, a single point. Content does Killzone 2 a few new things. It pushes no boundaries in the genre. But technically Killzone 2 is not less than a spectacle and it offers the gamer more than adequate value for every euro. The single-player experience is grotesque and overwhelming, and the game has the best graphics of all the shooters of this time. And the multiplayer, heavily influenced by the perk system of Call of Duty, offers endless gameplay with a compelling dynamism. That Edge is the game seven gives is utterly ridiculous. Especially when this figure is compared against the genrebroers Gears of War 2 and FEAR 2.
Are we in the Netherlands may be a little sensitive as Killzone 2 goes, because it is a title from our own Amsterdam-based studio? Guerrilla Studios is, of course, Orange Top, and perhaps the Dutch press a to pink glasses on. If that would be true, so what? You should be proud of what in their own land, and even if it is a game that the international part of the greats and many of his competitors even over committed. In addition, if we here in the Netherlands now only stood in the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Guerrilla’s magnum opus reigns… but that is not the case. The average score on all time according to is 91, and I think that’s exactly the probable reason of the fact that Edge is the game a seven. Not because you will find that the game has a seven deserves, but because the creators of the magazine their erudite azijnpissers-image high want to keep. And how can that be better than a game which the whole world hosanna to speak?
