Killzone Review

I just ejected this game partway through and put it in my Goodwill pile. What's wrong with it? The question is, where do I begin?
The AI is retarded. Sometimes they just sit there looking at you five yards away like they are blind, but mostly they just wander back and forth. They don't banzai charge nor do they hide and make you come after them. All you have to do is keep your gun trained on their doorway and they repeatedly wander into your sights.
The things the characters and enemies shout are stupid and repetitive, and the groans they make when they get hit become annoying. And I don't like their stupid British accents, either. If you hit them with one bullet they shout, "I'm under heavy fiah!"
The weapons aren't accurate beyond point blank range (although the bad guys seem to have no trouble hitting you at long range,) and it takes several hits to kill one bad guy. If you see three of them bunched together at thirty yards, you can empty a whole clip at them and sometimes not even kill one of them, while they are busy shouting, "Suppressing fiah! Aaaugh! I'm under attock!" There is a sniper rifle, but the aiming system is idiotic and nearly impossible to use.
Your character is slow, and areas are large, which is normally a good thing, except here you can't hit anything beyond fifty yards. You can sprint, but only for a short ways, and you can't fire while you are sprinting. The bouncy way your character walks is lame, too. Plus, the pathway is totally linear. There are no side areas worth exploring, no hidden items or powerups to look for, and since you can only carry three weapons at a time, most of the ammo you find is unusable. There is a ton of the ammo for the standard rifle, but hardly any for the bomb launchers. Reloading takes a long time, too. Your character can't jump, and small curbs and boxes hold him up. There are about four obstacles in the game that you can "vault" over, which takes several seconds and is a lame feature.
Your teammates are seemingly invincible, so when you run across bad guys you can just hide and let your teammates kill them--that is unless they come and hide behind you. If you and your whole team is in firing position, all of the bad guys shoot at you and the rest of your team stops firing and strolls over to your side appearing "at the ready." Other times they will shout, "This way," take a few steps down the path, and then stop and wait for you to take point. They get in your way a lot, too.
There are no health packs, I don't think, but your health recharges over time. So if you get hit, all you have to do is hide out for a few seconds (in complete safety since the enemies don't charge) and you're back to full health.
When you die, the camera pans around your dead body for ten or fifteen seconds, while I am wishing I could get on with the game. That was really annoying. In fact nearly everything about this game is annoying. I had played the excellent Project Snowblind right before this, and Killzone was a major letdown in comparison to it, or to all other FPS's for that matter.
