How many maps in Killzone 2 online? And are they really big enough for you to just roam around and maybe even get lost? I'm getting this game soon with my PS3.

Product Description
Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA are taking the fight to Helghan. Their goal: to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the Helghast war machine to a halt. You assume the role of Sev, a battle-hardened veteran and a member of the special forces unit known as the Legion.
For Sev and his squad, the invasion of Helghan is just beginning. Tasked with securing Pyrrhus, the Capital City, they quickly discover that the Helghast are a formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to the planet's hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power they can now use against the ISA.
Sev and his squad aren't just fighting the enemy forces - their fiercest opponent is the planet itself.
Welcome to Helghan, soldier! - Experience realistic, highly atmospheric environments that respond dynamically to the violent conditions on Helgha
- Witness the devastating effects of Helghan's climate as it forces you and your enemies to adapt to new tactics
- Face off against fearsome enemies who have learned to wield the hostility of Helghan itself against their opponents
- Operate new and exotic weapons and vehicles, in addition to trusty Killzone classics like the M82-G and the StA-52 LAR

Loving the aliens January 26, 2010

Everything about this game is ugly; the landscape, the soldiers, the bloody
violence. But that ugliness entirely fits the atmosphere. The game also
has a visceral quality to it. Bullets thud into bodies, the controller
rumbles as bombs detonate. Your character's movement is laborious,
especially with some of the bigger guns in his arms. The enemies are
crafty and ruthless; they'll seek out cover, try and flank your position.
It all adds up to an exciting shooter.
The online facility is excellent, too. You and up to 31 other people
fighting it out across the ravaged industrial landscape. It's frantic,
edgy and yes, a bit scary too. Running around a corner to be confronted
by one of the enemy really activates the fight or flight instinct. And
when I choose to fight I tend to find that the trigger finger is willing
but the aiming thumb is weak.
Sadly, it's not all good. I found the voice acting and script really
poor. I didn't engage with any of the characters and thought the story
pretty perfunctory. As for the multiplayer online battles, they too
have their faults. I find that too often these games descend into
turkey shoots...with one faction pinned into a single location by the
other.
But I can write these off as quirks of the game. What I am really
disappointed with is the game's finale. After a series of epic battles
across interesting, varied locations the final battle is long winded and
tedious. And I would have hoped that a game as innovative as killzone 2
could have finished with something more original than a boss fight. It
was such an anti-climax after all that had gone before
 A non-geek's thoughts November 9, 2009

I am so non-geek, I don't understand some of the lingo used in many of the other reviews, but my thoughts might just be useful for someone as naïve as me as far as PS3 shooter games are concerned.
OK, here's what I think. It's an excellent game and although I can't mention the specific price it is now fantastic value, an absolute bargain. But after three or four hours I still feel that it's better than I am. That's good of course, no-one wants a game that's too easy, but it does require a fair amount of skill to really get on top of. My main gripe - amd I know this is probably a fault of my own, not the game - is the difficulty in taking aim really quickly. Whenever I have played GT5 Prologue I've always preferred to use the D-pad (sorry if that's the wrong name) rather than the two thumb-sticks (that game offers the choice), I find the D-pad much more accurate for tiny movement inputs while the thumb-sticks - the only option for K2 - I find are more inaccurate and over-sensitive. And I wish I could reverse the polarity of the right thumb-stick, I have as yet to find the forward/up and backward/down combination as intuitive as many others seem to; I've even tried to hold the controller upside down but that means switching hands too, so that didn't help! If there's a way of reversing the north-south polarity, if that's the right word (I did say I don't know the lingo!) then please add a comment below.
I do like the game, it kind of reminds me of Call of Duty as I suppose everyone knows - not the latest one mind you. After a few hours, and in particular after seeing the trailers for the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3), Killzone 2 does seem just slightly 'last year' in overall style but it's still addictive. I got it on the same day as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) which while not being quite the same thing I nevertheless found to be instantly preferable (I prefer third-person shooters) and stunningly better on graphics and more intuitive. It might look a little odd that I'm suggesting that it's inferior to two other games - much newer ones though - and I guess I would rate this as 9/10.
As there are more than 200 reviews of Killzone 2 here, there's little point in going through all the features as many other reviewers have already done a great job in that department. I just wanted to post some early thoughts on it, it's definitely a fantastic game and its real attraction right at this moment, nearly a year after its release, is its price: you can't go wrong now.

This game is very good, well worth the money. its gorgeous to look at, action packed. Make sure you use the cover system else you will die a lot!
A
tip for killing Radec: hide in a corner on the 2nd floor, get your knife out. when he approaches stab him a few times. when he vanishes and re-appears on the first floor, shoot him twice with the sniper rifle. then go back into the corner and wait for him to appear. stab him again. repeat this process until he's dead!
Its even better online as well. definitely worth buying, especially at this price.
One of the PS3's best! October 11, 2009

After the first Killzone I tried to avoid the hype of this right up till it's release. The first was abysmal, I really looked forward to it, so much so that it was a day 1 purchase for me and what a waste of money. Thankfully this is nothing like the first!.
This game is so good that I still play it, well occasionally. The single-player isn't bad, it's too short as usual and the story isn't something you'll remember forever. There really isn't much of one and I feel that the Gears of War games on 360 have a better story. But the story doesn't matter too much anyway as this game is all about the action and there's plenty of it!. It's got some pretty awesome boss battles particularly the last one. But to be honest I think Gears has better boss battles too. Another think this game has in common with Gears is that it has fantastic graphics but it is far too grey and black as there's very little colour here.
So what does this game do better than Gears? well it has some very addictive multi-player with all the usual modes (Team Deathmatch etc.) and they have released 2 new map packs and there's a third on the way meaning that's there's plenty of maps but they do all tend to get boring after a while and a few weeks after buying this you'll probably put it down and forget about it only to return a few weeks later!.
So in short this game is good fun online and off but it wont last very long and I feel that Gears of War has a much better single-player.
