I've said this before, but maybe it bears repeating: We have never, and we WILL never, adjust a game's score up or down because of any personal feelings toward the platform it's on. That would be petty, stupid and self-destructive. It would also be a gross disservice to our readers.

That said, I'd like the people who keep complaining about the Gears comparison to seriously ask themselves if they'd still complain if I'd said Killzone 2 wiped the floor with Gears 2. If the answer is no, then I don't think I'm the one with bias issues.

Nice review, fair score Killzone 2 would need something big to get a 10. Games really have to be a little more revolutionary and inventive for the consoles these days. My xbox red-ringed due to AV problems, RIGHT when I said It wouldn't happen to me. Time to spend some time with the PS3.

Killzone2 looks cool i guess.

Just listened to TDar 40 or so where you guys talked about releasing this review early. Then you went on to say something along the lines of "Killzone is not the greatest game ever made, it's the greatest THING ever made." "It was made for you." (Not for Japan or child molestors or something.)

I'm very interested in playing this game, now.

i got killzone 2 a few weeks ago. wow. this game is amazing. the only problem for campaign that i can see is how accurate rocket launcher enemies are. by the time i beat campaign, id been head-shotted by rockets 10 times. the online is fun, but this game just wouldnt be worth getting if you dont have online.

Having had the game for about 4 months now, I can honestly say I would have given Killzone 2 a 10. Since we're far removed from the ridiculous hype/fanboy bashing that defined its release, I can love the game on its own merit.

But ya know what? A 9 is a perfectly reasonable score, and Mikel had every right to give it that. Difference of opinion is difference of opinion.

all you ppl who are bitching about them being unbiased probably dont even have a 360.I have both a PS3 and a 360 and i must say while Ps3 does have some good games the 360 has better ones.Befroe you ppl disagree with it at least try the games and compare them.

I, for one, find this review to be informative, fair, and quite helpful and amusing. Seriously, guys, stop arguing and look at yourselves. You are bickering over a game. I mean really, just enjoy the game and stop complaining about each other. *Looks at comment* Oh, wait...

"multiplayer modes ensure that Halo 3 hangs onto its 10 score when faced with Killzone 2’s more straightforward offerings."

Bollocks. If a game has a thin single player campaign the multiplayer however good cannot make up for that in terms of securing a perfect score.

However 9 out of 10 is a brilliant score so all you people bitching can stfu. Sure maybe Halo and Gears are over-rated, personally I'd say Halo certainly is. But Killzone 2 a 10/10? Don't think so. 9 is about fair.
