But while few console games can compete with Killzone 2 in the graphics department, it is the thrilling gun combat where the game shines above and beyond the competition.
The gun battles, a fantastic, yet complex cover system, clever enemy AI, and explosive set pieces all combine to deliver an intense gameplay experience that is challenging, yet extremely rewarding.
The advanced enemy AI will make the use of cover all the more necessary. The enemies, who are spread out across various classes, will use different tactics to attack you.
Many levels offer multiple routes, but the enemy too will use these routes to flank you at every given opportunity. To mix things up a bit, you are also presented with boss fights every now and then, which are quite entertaining and do well to break up the gun combat segments.
