I remember when used to hate this game. Then watched this vid once, twice… multiple times. Man, these graphics still kicking lot of modern graphics games.
Killzone 2's graphics still hold very well to this day. There's a reason why people were blown away some 4 years ago. If you want a PS3, go for it; it's a great console, many amazing exclusives (like Killzone 2), free online, a d-pad that makes a huge difference in 2D games like platformers or fighting games, all good stuff.
I just cannot believe how incredible this game looks. My jaw dropped the first time I witnessed the game, it's amazing how far our technology has come in the past few decades!
I remember when I got this game like 8 months ago. I was so excited. I played the demo countless times just to satisfy my addiction with the game. In my birthday, I finally got it. Such a great game. Good thing the price lowered to $29.99, so that people who don't have it, can finally afford to get it. I got my copy when it was still 80 bucks lol XD
and without a doubt these visuals and physics are superior to KZ 3 which only has slightly better textures and colorful scenery just look at the muzzle flashes and the general feel, how the bullets impact the environment and bodies, everything feels more polished and solid.
@SpaceKuriga No, Killzone 2 has different mechanics/Physics. In KZ2 Theres supposed to be a feeling of you lugging your gun around, unlike the more conventional shooters like COD, which is way more njoyable.. Your question was a bit fuzzy but the sensitivity will just make him turn around faster after the initial move of the gun is over
I agree with Kwasimoto down there, actually. Best game for PS3...hands down. I know MGS4, Modern Warfare2 were so played up and pretty good but this really is the best game...
@EnglishTurtle I agree with you, besides if the controller starts to piss you off, you can always adapt a mouse and a keyboard to work with your PS3. Also, where the one dude asked about games not being shooters, you mentioned Uncharted and it's sequel; It's a third person shooter, so you basically putted them as a respond to someone who didn't want to see shooter -games. :-)
dude i would so recomend this game, its non stop action, really good fps, and the best graphics for ANY game out there right now. plus its game of da year thats proof of how good it is.
Killzone 2 is a lot of fun and I definitely recomend it to anyone who's interested in buying it. As far as how good it looks, yes it is amazing and almost pushes the PS3 to it's limits, but it's nothing compared to what Crysis is capable of on a semi-decent gaming rig.
Pablo Gabriel Strauss plays better maybe but it doesn’t look better. But it does look better than many more. How were they able to get such graphical fidelity that in my opinion rivals modern tech.
The 360 controller is a excellent controller for FPS games. The Playstation's DualShock controller is great for Sports, Fighting, Action/Adventure games, and anything thats not an FPS. I love the 360 controller because all I play is Halo 3 and Fable 2!
Kill zone 2 looks great.Both PS3 nad xbox 360 are awesome,but in first person shooters ,I prefer to use the mouse and keyboard since they 're more accurate .
i used to play street fighter 4, but i gave that back to my friend becuz the ppl who play online are craaazzzy good, i have little big planet, ea skate, marvel vs. capcom 2, but the rest of the games i have are 1 player like bioshock, oblivion, assassins creed, devil may cry 4. But i play killzone 2 and uncharted 2 the most.
man this game is why im getting a ps3, graphics are insane, already have an xbox 360, and a 2000$ pc all i need is a ps3 then my gaming will be complete
I'm going to buy a PS3 and I don't know which game to buy first. MW2, Demon's Souls, or this one. I've looked at Uncharted 2 and I don't think it's my style of game. I'll being playing whatever I get until next summer so which one should I get?
yes, i love this game too, including the online play, but i can't pass even the hard difficulty, just the first missions.. but i have this game and i recommend it.. OBS: the trophies are so hard, i played at least 2 months, and i only have 20-30% trophies .__. Good playing !
Wish this was on PC or had USB mouse/keyboard support on PS3. It would make combat much more involved and realistic. Controller shooters are just so stiff. I don't want my character to move like a robot. Also, once you let a player aim with pinpoint precision you can turn off autoaim and increase difficulty like lowing damage to enemies and raising damage to players.
@TheZenion That's nice! Lot of great games - Uncharted, God of War, Infamous, Metal Gear, Little Big Planet, Demons Soul... And is free to play on live.
yep i do the multiplayer is awesome online u can play 32 people in a game and u can create a clan ( a proper clan, not like one in COD4 or COD5) and u can lead ur own squad as well or join one urself. Honestly, u cant be told how gr8 it is... u hav 2 play it urself
@PfcViksdalen the must have games for ps3 are uncharted 2, metal gear solid 4, god of war 3, modern warfare 2 or bad company 2,infamous, little big planet, gran turismo 5 prologue or gt 5 when it comes out, heavy rain . and there are way more games but u have to tell me the type of genre that u like because u might not like certain games. and some multi platform games
I own PS3/360 and i also own Killzone 2 & 3 and Gears 1, 2 and 3, graphically KZ is superior, but Gears has better splitscreen support. Both series are great, it just depends on what u are looking for.
after looking up killzone 3 i downloaded the kill zone 2 demo and was fucking amazed! both xbox and ps3 exclusives look badass. ive only had my ps3 for 3 weeks and i understand why some are saying the ps3 wont be usless untill 9 years!
I don't think so. I for one have more fun playing FPS games when it's on the concole. I don't know why, but I love the feeling of playing a FPS with 2 analog sticks.
@ingrampVII Because PS3s have built in Blu-ray players that allow for this kind of quality with their exclusives. Not every PC gamer has a blu-ray drive installed in their rig, a monstrous graphics card, or a motherboard capable of being overclocked. Besides, it's an exclusive. We aren't going to see Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank or the latest Halo and Gears titles on PC anytime soon. Mouse and keyboard is vastly superior to dual analog, but this game makes use of the sixaxis motion controls.
Is it just me, or is Killzone 2 & 3 WAAAAY WAY better than COD4, 4.2 & Black Ops? Its better not just in graphics, but in sheer edge of your seat, fully engaging gameplay, both in Campaign AND online. I get the feeling the only thing COD has going for it is its "fashion status". Killzone 2 IMO, is the quintessential FPS on PS3. On PC I'd say it was Crysis. Also, Resistance 2 was a sick game (average graphics, but great fun, and great locations, plus the "talk to the hand" power at the end!)
oh my god this is the first time i see a graphic this good i just dont know how 2 describe it.. heck if killzone's 2 graphics are super then what will heavy rain's graphics would be
Im not sure why but majority of playstation exclusives have always played amazingly. Horizon is a 10/10 for me, im really hoping for a re mastered version of killzone 2.
+Oliver Dowding never played horizon but I will check it out killzone 1 on the ps2 is very nice to its a great game very beautiful graphics that game made me want to keep playing the killzone games
Your right, both are good. Ive mostly owned both. Xbox was superior to ps2 but games that were ps2 exclusives always seemed at least as good as xbox. Ps3 was also better than the 360 and the ps3 exclusives were much better than the 360 games. I was always under the impression the 360 was easier to create a game on and the playstation was more difficult to develop on but when it worked it REALLY worked...the graphics on killzone 2 still look better than some xbox one games. I just use whatever is best at the time, not really a fan boy of either. I have a ps4 now and dont own an xbox one but when i finally get a 4k television i'll be buying an xbox one x. 100% check out horizon, and i should probably play the 1st killzone too, never played it...think it was a very mediocre game at the time, think id rather play the latest killzone on ps4.
I just hate it when people complain about the controls. You can fukin change it to the CoD controls. And you can increase the sensitivity. And besides, if you guys complain about how long it takes to kill an enemy, stick to CoD if you can't handle KZ2's greatness.
@Gibix no im actually saying that from experience ive played the game in full 1080p hd even though its not natively at 1080p and i expected it to look good but i was sort of disappointed with it because everyone was saying that it had the best graphics and some even said it even beat crysis which is why i got it but soon after i just sold it with my ps3 cuz i got bored of it
@iDiViNeXx If you didn't notice, he responded that "Gaylo" to someone who said "Shit Zone". He was just responding to a 360-fanboy insulting this game. However, I do agree: Both consoles have their amazing titles.
Killzone 2 has online & is fun as hell. It's not noob friendly got to get use to the aiming. Socom but allot of pros play that & played the series since Playstation so you will get owned probally. Resistance 2 is good also
Do you have to play KZ1 to understand KZ2? I'm a 360 user but am planning to switch to PS3 soon and was just wondering, since KZ1 is a PS2 game (I do have a PS2 though).
killzone 2 is a much better game actually WORTH getting. online play owns. then again, dont listen to anyone online about getting a game. not even me. trust your instincts, play both killzone 2 and uncharted 2 demos and patiently pick one. but honestly, i think killzone 2 is much better
The shooting mechanics are really satisfying in this game.
ya n u get to adjust them as well which is awesome of course
It's 2023 and this game still looks amazing. If they could reboot the series and make it look and play like this, I'd be so happy.
Kill zone is and always will be one of best games in its style :))))
I agreed! :)
dam right thts wat IAM playing now
Damn this game still looks ridiculous. Hard to believe it came out in 2009
This masterpiece was way ahead of its time
Emperor Valkorion this game managed to do what the first crysis and half life 2 did, definitely one of the shooter that will never be forgotten
>2009
>better graphics than COD Black Ops 3 and Ghosts
is this still the best killzone?
yep it is.
Yes
It was the most hyped up kill zone but kill zone 3 had better shooting mechanics. Killzone Shadow Fall was just awful
I really like Horizon zero dawn but Guerrilla Games hit perfection with K2.
Damn....imagine if it was on PC
I would pay literally a ton of money for killzone 2 and 3 on pc
God this game was so fucking amazing.
sure was👊
u cant compare bo2 and mw3 graphics to this....ur comment makes no sense.
Killzone 2 and Crysis franchise are having some superb graphics even 10y after.... makes you think
this game looks like a ps4 game
Philippe l this and last of us is what the ps3 cell processor can do
Philippe l guess you don't own one
I remember when used to hate this game. Then watched this vid once, twice… multiple times.
Man, these graphics still kicking lot of modern graphics games.
This gen of games have been disappointing!!
this was one of the best fps ive ever played, the graphics were amazing and the weight of controls made it feel so realistic and took skill to aim
ya it's real nice the gameplay shooting is very realistic
Killzone 2's graphics still hold very well to this day. There's a reason why people were blown away some 4 years ago. If you want a PS3, go for it; it's a great console, many amazing exclusives (like Killzone 2), free online, a d-pad that makes a huge difference in 2D games like platformers or fighting games, all good stuff.
finally, someone who understands that games are JUST games. no need to argue about them
Kick-ass shot gun.
Gotta love the detailed and amazing guns in this game.
every time i just see the gun shot on this game it looks so smooth and jaw dropping.....
I just cannot believe how incredible this game looks. My jaw dropped the first time I witnessed the game, it's amazing how far our technology has come in the past few decades!
I remember when I got this game like 8 months ago. I was so excited.
I played the demo countless times just to satisfy my addiction with the game. In my birthday, I finally got it. Such a great game.
Good thing the price lowered to $29.99, so that people who don't have it, can finally afford to get it. I got my copy when it was still 80 bucks lol XD
I love the guns sounds when you are firing them. So powerfull, specially the Sniper :)
i just got a ps3 with this and infamous just a few days ago. already lovin it!
and without a doubt these visuals and physics are superior to KZ 3 which only has slightly better textures and colorful scenery
just look at the muzzle flashes and the general feel, how the bullets impact the environment and bodies, everything feels more polished and solid.
It still looks pretty damn good. Want more heavy shooters like this. Feel like every shooter is going lightweight
Almost 10yrs old, how fast the grow!!
The graphics still hold up to this day they took full advantage of PS3 architecture.
Shit I'm from the last month of 2019 I miss this game
me too!!
@SpaceKuriga No, Killzone 2 has different mechanics/Physics. In KZ2 Theres supposed to be a feeling of you lugging your gun around, unlike the more conventional shooters like COD, which is way more njoyable.. Your question was a bit fuzzy but the sensitivity will just make him turn around faster after the initial move of the gun is over
So true man..
Usually theyre just in it for the action and the guns.
But the storyline for Killzone is amazingly complicated
I agree with Kwasimoto down there, actually. Best game for PS3...hands down. I know MGS4, Modern Warfare2 were so played up and pretty good but this really is the best game...
@EnglishTurtle
I agree with you, besides if the controller starts to piss you off, you can always adapt a mouse and a keyboard to work with your PS3.
Also, where the one dude asked about games not being shooters, you mentioned Uncharted and it's sequel; It's a third person shooter, so you basically putted them as a respond to someone who didn't want to see shooter -games. :-)
dude i bought this game a long time ago and the graphics still amaze me!
dude i would so recomend this game, its non stop action, really good fps, and the best graphics for ANY game out there right now. plus its game of da year thats proof of how good it is.
this is the best killzone video i ve ever seen...............very good video......
Oh man, I love Killzone
Killzone 2 is a lot of fun and I definitely recomend it to anyone who's interested in buying it. As far as how good it looks, yes it is amazing and almost pushes the PS3 to it's limits, but it's nothing compared to what Crysis is capable of on a semi-decent gaming rig.
Recently bought the killzone trilogy :) just finished killzone HD, tomorrow i'll start with killzone 2, really looking forward to it :D
uncharted 2 is amazing, i play both KZ2 and UC2 multiplayer,i love them both
this game is sooo fun!!!!! and intense!! i never get tired of it i still play it!
should I re-buy this game? It was so much fun.
How is it possible that this game looks better and plays better than Shadowfall?
Pablo Gabriel Strauss plays better maybe but it doesn’t look better. But it does look better than many more. How were they able to get such graphical fidelity that in my opinion rivals modern tech.
The 360 controller is a excellent controller for FPS games. The Playstation's DualShock controller is great for Sports, Fighting, Action/Adventure games, and anything thats not an FPS. I love the 360 controller because all I play is Halo 3 and Fable 2!
Kill zone 2 looks great.Both PS3 nad xbox 360 are awesome,but in first person shooters ,I prefer to use the mouse and keyboard since they 're more accurate .
Warhawk has a simply but entertaining online.
Killzone 2 is expensive than WH, but it has a kickass history and an EXCELENT Online mode.
i used to play street fighter 4, but i gave that back to my friend becuz the ppl who play online are craaazzzy good, i have little big planet, ea skate, marvel vs. capcom 2, but the rest of the games i have are 1 player like bioshock, oblivion, assassins creed, devil may cry 4. But i play killzone 2 and uncharted 2 the most.
I loved the 1st one to I still have it .I'm looking forward to getting a PS3. What game should I get?
wut a nice timing! the psp go is coming out soon enough and that coupled with ps3 is gonna be great!
man this game is why im getting a ps3, graphics are insane, already have an xbox 360, and a 2000$ pc all i need is a ps3 then my gaming will be complete
sick video dude! looks of the hook! do they hav killzone on megadrive?
@eurekabach I agree!! black was prolly the best FPS for the ps2!! wish they would make a sequel!!
Best FPS ever made in game history.
This is the best killzone I own them all
the first ones real good to
Awesome! Thanks for the info, it's time I started multiplayer again.
i havent played this game in a while imma start playing this again ive been playing MAG and BFBC and MW2
It's amazing!!
I'm going to buy a PS3 and I don't know which game to buy first. MW2, Demon's Souls, or this one. I've looked at Uncharted 2 and I don't think it's my style of game. I'll being playing whatever I get until next summer so which one should I get?
Have you even played the game yet? The perspective you get on it is just out of this world realistic. It's fucking sic.
which game should i buy? killzone 2, bioshock or vanquish?
the way the sights move while walking reminds me of medal of honor pacific assault
yes, i love this game too, including the online play, but i can't pass even the hard difficulty, just the first missions..
but i have this game and i recommend it..
OBS: the trophies are so hard, i played at least 2 months, and i only have 20-30% trophies .__.
Good playing !

Also, once you let a player aim with pinpoint precision you can turn off autoaim and increase difficulty like lowing damage to enemies and raising damage to players.
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME
@zerox505 Nope there was definately an input lag.
The fact that they fixed the input lag in Killzone 3 proves I'm right.
@TheZenion That's nice!
Lot of great games - Uncharted, God of War, Infamous, Metal Gear, Little Big Planet, Demons Soul...
And is free to play on live.
yep i do the multiplayer is awesome online u can play 32 people in a game and u can create a clan ( a proper clan, not like one in COD4 or COD5) and u can lead ur own squad as well or join one urself. Honestly, u cant be told how gr8 it is... u hav 2 play it urself
At first i thought this game wasnt worth my time.
Now that i seen it, it looks pretty sweet
Damn, I forgot how amazing this game looked.
@PfcViksdalen the must have games for ps3 are uncharted 2, metal gear solid 4, god of war 3, modern warfare 2 or bad company 2,infamous, little big planet, gran turismo 5 prologue or gt 5 when it comes out, heavy rain . and there are way more games but u have to tell me the type of genre that u like because u might not like certain games. and some multi platform games
I own PS3/360 and i also own Killzone 2 & 3 and Gears 1, 2 and 3, graphically KZ is superior, but Gears has better splitscreen support. Both series are great, it just depends on what u are looking for.
@Ezroable a modern MG-42 is called an MG-3, but yeah, that gun you are talking about in Killzone is closely based on the MG-42/3 design.
after looking up killzone 3 i downloaded the kill zone 2 demo and was fucking amazed! both xbox and ps3 exclusives look badass. ive only had my ps3 for 3 weeks and i understand why some are saying the ps3 wont be usless untill 9 years!
I don't think so.
I for one have more fun playing FPS games when it's on the concole. I don't know why, but I love the feeling of playing a FPS with 2 analog sticks.
wow. I have an xbox 360 and I say this game looks sick.
definitely! I have the Logitech Z5500 hooked up onto the PS3 via fiber optic cable...fantastic.
@ingrampVII
Because PS3s have built in Blu-ray players that allow for this kind of quality with their exclusives. Not every PC gamer has a blu-ray drive installed in their rig, a monstrous graphics card, or a motherboard capable of being overclocked. Besides, it's an exclusive.

Mouse and keyboard is vastly superior to dual analog, but this game makes use of the sixaxis motion controls.
IMO, KZ2 and KZ3 should have been released on the same disk. You just can't play one without playing the other. It's that good.
beautiful game!! but is it aways too easy ? or is this gameplay at easy mode?
i got the game 2 days ago and it looks so blurry when i play it, why is that???
i'm getting a PS3 tomorrow, i'm getting God Of War 3, MAG, and Killzone 2 (HELLZ YEA!!!)
Is it just me, or is Killzone 2 & 3 WAAAAY WAY better than COD4, 4.2 & Black Ops? Its better not just in graphics, but in sheer edge of your seat, fully engaging gameplay, both in Campaign AND online. I get the feeling the only thing COD has going for it is its "fashion status".

oh my god this is the first time i see a graphic this good i just dont know how 2 describe it.. heck if killzone's 2 graphics are super then what will heavy rain's graphics would be
Holy shit! Forgot how good this looked
dam right
Im not sure why but majority of playstation exclusives have always played amazingly. Horizon is a 10/10 for me, im really hoping for a re mastered version of killzone 2.
+Oliver Dowding never played horizon but I will check it out killzone 1 on the ps2 is very nice to its a great game very beautiful graphics that game made me want to keep playing the killzone games

@yellowriceFS slim has little places where the heat can escape and a tiny fan, thick has a giant fan and numerous places for heat to be ventilated
killzone 2 is the best game with graphics and its a FPS too :) unlike other games
ok a question...can u change the pistol for another weapon (example: a rifle or a rocket launcher) or u can only change ur primary weapon?
I just hate it when people complain about the controls. You can fukin change it to the CoD controls. And you can increase the sensitivity. And besides, if you guys complain about how long it takes to kill an enemy, stick to CoD if you can't handle KZ2's greatness.

Almost 2000 likes and yet only around 10 play online, wow, time really flies.
@iDiViNeXx
If you didn't notice, he responded that "Gaylo" to someone who said "Shit Zone".
He was just responding to a 360-fanboy insulting this game. However, I do agree: Both consoles have their amazing titles.
They better come out with at least 2 more. Best looking shooter ever.
I'm gonna get a ps3 and I just wanna know which is best: killzone 2, metal gear solid 4 or resistance.
Nothing compares to this game
Looks cool, guess I'm gonna buy this!
I wouldn't necessary say it's bad, but it definitely takes some time to get used to it, especially in the multiplayer.
@SoldierofFortune213
Not only Uncharted 2, but Uncharted 1 as well. Also, Heavy Rain and God of War 3 as well as God of War collection.
Killzone 2 has online & is fun as hell. It's not noob friendly got to get use to the aiming. Socom but allot of pros play that & played the series since Playstation so you will get owned probally. Resistance 2 is good also
Do you have to play KZ1 to understand KZ2? I'm a 360 user but am planning to switch to PS3 soon and was just wondering, since KZ1 is a PS2 game (I do have a PS2 though).
killzone 2 is a much better game actually WORTH getting. online play owns. then again, dont listen to anyone online about getting a game. not even me. trust your instincts, play both killzone 2 and uncharted 2 demos and patiently pick one. but honestly, i think killzone 2 is much better
smooth gameplay like this? awesome, i know it was in ps3 not in PC but,some games have not frames like this.
this game looks so awesome!
damn right you do. guess what? PS3 slim will be released the first week of september this year for $300.
