It feels like it's been forever since the trailer for Killzone 2 debuted at E3 a few years back, but the game is finally here, and every PS3 owner should be glad that it is.  Saying Killzone 2 blows away its predecessor is a gross understatement, as the game lives up to the hype that has been surrounding it since said trailer saw the light of day, and is an absolute must own for every PS3 owner.  The first thing you'll notice about Killzone 2 is that the game is quite simply a sight to behold.  The graphics, overall visuals, and art design that the game boasts are possibly the best to grace the console yet, and the game's sound effects and design are spectacular.  Besides the game's technical achievements, Killzone 2 offers a frantic single player campaign that, while a bit on the short side, boasts some challenging enemy AI and a wonderful array of weapons at your disposal.  The online play however is where Killzone 2 really shines, as the game features some intricately designed multiplayer maps and plenty of rewards that only add to the overall fun that the game has to offer.  While Killzone 2 is definitely a technical powerhouse that delivers what FPS fans look for, it still isn't the Halo killer that Sony has proclaimed it to be in the past.  Despite that though, Killzone 2 is a stunning and spectacular achievement that every PS3 owner should own.  Slowly but surely the PS3 is getting a solid lineup of great, exclusive, triple-A titles that PS3 owners have been long overdue in having.  Along with the Resistance series, the PS3 now has a couple FPS franchises that rival whatever Microsoft has to offer.  Stop reading, pick this game up.
