good review, and they didn't hesistate to nitpick some stuff, even though they're the "official" PS mag in the UK. I can't wait to play it! Xbox 360 will never have a game that looks as good.

Man, this review was so poorly written. Some of the content like 'WTF' is borderline getting to the point of a text-message.

Whore, sex, shithole and all kinds of other adult references are used in this magazine targetted a lot towards teenagers as the magazine is rated ages 8 and up.

Hey 8 year old cousin, want to learn a new p hraselittle Nico? The word is sexy whore of a shithole. Seriously, I wouldn't want me kid reading the content of this review.

Furthermore, a few areas seek of payment/endorsement or fanboyism. I mean honestly, does the reviewer really feel that "Killzone 2 is, without question, the most impressive looking game ever."

I strongly recommend this reviewer try using a high-end gaming machine to play Crysis or Crysis warhead if he wants to experience graphics. The PS3's 256mb of graphics ram can't compete texture wise with say three GTX 295s running 2GB a peice of ram.

Not to mention, the raw power of three GTX 295s in tri-sli with a great processor like an overclocked Core i960.

It's rediculous to call this "the most impressive looking game ever." unless they add the words "to date on the ps3".

Poor review maybe you should read it again. There are other reviews out there. Also try metacritic

Killzone 2 review

Graphics: 5 (out of 5)
Playability: 5 (out of 5)
Lasting Appeal: 4 (out of 5)
Music / sounds: 5 (out of 5)

Overall: 9.7 (out of 10)

"Killzone 2 is one of the most gorgeous and atmospheric FPS ever released, surprassing easily everything the PS3 has to offer. It's easily one of the best games of 2009. What will happen with the franchise in the future? We hope that it will be successful, reaching heights of happines never reached before and bringing a real conclusion to the unfinished saga. When and how it will happen? Only God knows - he likes to be called Guerilla Games nowdays"

Anyone who says this is better than any game on the 360, DOESN'T HAVE A 360. This game has been in development forever, it better have great graphics...

You can't compare how a PC uses the graphics to how a PS3 does it. The architecture is totally different. Lets face it, if the PS3 only had 256MB to play with in the same fashion as a PC then the games would look less capable then the PS2 ones.
The PS3 and Xbox360 can hold their own against the PC and maybe even surpass it for now. Certainly makes you think that a high end graphics card on its own is £300 or more.

While I agree that it is very likely that the review team at opm is a bit on the lenient side; i also want to note a couple other things.

I agree that they should not use the language that they are, and definitely should avoid text speak to maintain some professional credibility. But other than that I have seen some great videos of this game and while the ps3 does not have the potential to compare with super up to date computers, this game by far looks better than any other game on any other console. And I also agree; the 360 will never be able to out do the ps3 in graphics once both of them hit their graphically limit.

Last: this game being better than any game on the 360 is a purely opinion based statement. There is no way to quantify that statement because everyone's taste is different. I barely play fps games myself. So I would have to say that it is unlikely that this game is better than any 360 game for me.
