Games you've recently finished

I finally finished Killzone, an FPS for ps2

-Graphics 8/10
Graphics were good, there was some detailed backrounds and few nice backround landscapes, but mostly the themed graphics really put you in an destructive-war atmosphere. My only complaint was that there were a few scattered dark blotches that made moving and seeing difficult. I know its not supposed to be thoroughly lighted to bring positivity, but there was just some areas that needed a few hints of light to make gameplay smoother

-Sound 6/10
Killzone had some pretty gritty war themes that added nicely to the game, the sound effects average, but what really dragged this sound score down was the awful voice loops. It seems out of the 4 characters, there were only 6 phrases they said. It was fucking annoying hearing the same one sentence strategy for every mission, the same provoked unwitty remarks in extremely different situations, and really, the voice acting was decent, but with time, hearing their voices will annoy you. Thoughly oddly, the enemies dialouge and voicing sounded alright, well, compared to the main characters, they were downright awesome

-Controls 8/10
Controls were very smooth FPS-wise, my only complaint is that youre slow, especially when trying to dodge grenade attacks.

-Story 6/10

I didnt really care about the plot, it was just a very primitive bad vs good scenario. Not to say it was horrible, cause it went good with the game, but what really gave bore me with story was the suggestive sexual remarks between the male and female characters. It was just unnecesarry.

-Replay value 8/10

The replay value itself is average, but what really makes it fun is playing deathmatch or co-op with friends. I wouldnt advise getting the game for that specific reason, but its a huge plus when you buy it for singleplayer gaming.

Overall

Killzone is a decent FPS, my complaints were common, so Im sure when pt 2 or 3 comes out, the criticisms should be fixed. I did find myself getting fustrated and I aburptly quit playing a few times, but I just kept drawing back
not because if I didnt I wouldnt anytime soon, but because it was actually fun if you overlook the negatives. Its a greatest hits game so its only 20 bucks, and allegedly this game was expected to take off like a fuckin rocket so a shitload of copies were made, but not that many were sold, thus the game lacks the "greatest hits logo", so any elite will be happy owning the orginal.

Final score 7/10

Though highly recommended if you enjoy FPS games

Jam it back in, in the dark.
