What do these ratings mean?

Killzone 2 is proof that you can polish a t**d! everything about this game is flawless, except what matters.... The game play. If I'm missing something here, then I'm sure a million rabid fanboyz will put me right, but I cannot find any joy in this game! A cover system (that provides no cover) Inaccurate guns (that use half a clip per kill) A phoned in story-line (Angry black dude says run here and kill that) and the constant feeling that you have two 8year old children strapped to your legs, I mean, why else would you move so slowly??? I don't understand how this game got such good reviews?! Its core gameplay is awful!! The number of times I have died before I have been able to turn around to even look at the fella shooting me!! Or the classic "I'm hiding behind cover, but wait.....you guys are still landing shots on me??!". Real fps games don't need a cover system, the player should be smart enough to know to hide behind walls and crouch behind obstacles, but maybe I'm just old fashioned? A beautiful, flawless production with the most superb graphics and sound KZ2 is.... A good shooter?? It is not.

    The cover system works fine. In case you didn't know, you have to crouch right next to it, and hold the crouch button. It allows you to look over it, and protects you from fire, even though it seems like you're exposed. Of course, enemies up above you will still be able to hit you, as well as enemies behind you. Seems simple to me. Also, it sounds like you were dumb enough to try playing it on a harder difficulty first, and didn't play past the first level. If you're playing it on easy, I suggest reconsidering playing first person shooters.

    WHAT REALLYYYYYY??????? NO WAY!!!!!!!! rnrnI don't know if you yanks got a patch, but we're still in the **** over here. At best you could say the cover system is hit and miss AT BEST!! And I'm sorry, but thats not good enough for a game that is supposed to rate in as the best on the PS3. Also dude, nobody should rate a game until they have finished it, thats why I didn't touch a key until I had been through that awful Radec shoot out. My fav bit was getting pwnd while reloading behind a god damn stone pillar!!! Using the cover system I might add. Face it, the game is C, good looking but only just playable. Its a great way to highlight all the rabid Graphic's Whore Fan boyz though! All gear and NO idea!

    A pillar really isn't my first choice of cover, especially with multiple walls and ducking spots nearby. Try playing smarter.

    I agree with De-Ting i didnt have the trouble you had and i was on hard the reason why the guns dont kill as fast and you feel really heavy is because the developers tried to make it more realistic and if you shoot them in the head its a one shot kill
