  • Hell yeah my type of game mindless shooting! jump to minute 2:13 and try doing that with any new shooter see what happens! lol

  • I think I bought this game for my 14th bday when it came out. It was fun but short. There's a cut scene in this game that stands as one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen.

  • music at 1:00 mark sounds exactly like the Hong Kong Club music from Deus Ex... weird

  • this game is so badass !! i wish it was on xbox360

  • please give back some of these hardcore games like this !

  • winback did it before this

  • LOL I have both systems and to those who hate on Gears most have never REALLY played it (maybe a store demo). For most Ps3 only owners who criticize Gears it's the best game you never had! After Kill.Switch no one had the balls to pull off an EPIC 3rd person shooter. Not one that mattered at least. Oh I must say can't wait for Uncharted 3 for ps3! This fall is gonna be GREAT!

  • Well now I wish I'd played this over GOW, its nice having a cover based shooter where the main character doesn't throw his back full force into the wall (somethings gonna break, either the wall, his armour THAT DOES NOTHING, or his back). Did this have a story that made sense? The one big thing that really annoyed me about the GOW series was that the story made no sense. I'll admit that I liked 2 better than 1 even though that threw in a really stupid nugget of information.

  • when the music kicks in at round 1:00 shiiit im throwin grenades everywhere haha i love this game

  • we need this game for ps3 asaap''''''''''

  • i just love this game :D

  • FAIL

  • One of the best ps2 games.

  • Sure this might of invented the cover system in gaming, but Gears perfected it :)

  • @MomentofGaming Several shooters took inspiration from Kill Switch and implemented similar cover systems. In the design of Gears of War, lead developer Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games credits Kill Switch's cover system as one of the influences they put into the game's design as Kill Switch's lead designer was employed by Epic Games and was involved in the development of Gears of War -Wikipedia

  • This looks good, I wonder if Baird (with his goggles) is a reference to Kill Switch's character.

  • I played this game for weeks on end. One of the best PS2 experiences I ever had.

  • I would rather see a reboot of this any day than anything else gears...

  • ummm i wanna ask some thing this pc ver WHY THE HELL ITS NOT WORKING when i open the game my screen apper and say Out of range 241hertz can you help me i got nvidia Gefours 9500Gt and 1.5Gb or ram

  • well no shit you fucking morons the lead designer of this game was hired by Epic Games to help make the Gears series

  • @SHRELL623

    Wish it moved like this game. This game actualy seems to have nice style of movement on it.

  • @SHRELL623 who was the lead designer? I'm kinda curious

  • I just bought this game and nfs underground 2.both for 5 bucks today *_*

  • i played the demo on pc . i couldnt stop playing it over and over :D

  • 2:21, GO! GO! GO! to the music. Lol.

  • 2:17 swan diving off a building not the smartest thing.

  • Music from Deus Ex New York Club. Underworld Tavern. 3rd time visit.

  • wow never knew about this game. i'd still play it even now in 2011. looks badass.

  • this is a nice game, i remember seing this on the commercial and forgot the name. after 5-6 years i found this game in gamestop for like 5 bucks.

    out dated game but was kick ass.

  • I have this and it´s addictive for me. It has a lot of action.

  • Tetris is better than Gears of War. I know it because i play both games on my SNES.

  • lol epic dive at 2:16

  • @lvlonkeyBrains lmao

  • @dlivingcch

    WinBack didn't do it first either, but its cover mechanic was inspired by Time Crisis, a lightgun FPS series developed by Namco, the same company that created Kill Switch. The cover system in Time Crisis itself was borrowed from Rolling Thunder, an old 2D run & gun shooter series also developed by Namco. Kill Switch was like a successor to Rolling Thunder and Time Crisis, and perfected their cover mechanics. Namco can thus righfully be credited as the inventor of the cover system.

  • First game I had on my ps2

  • Is there a part 2 version of this game ?

  • is there a part 2 version of this game ?

  • certainly Gears didn't invented cover system, just take a look at game's manual. Gears invented an intuitive cover system which allows player to cover in any surface in the environment (and not only walls or pre-set barricades), jump over the cover, aiming though.

    So Gears merits are to make a friendly system to include shooting into almost every TPS game ,for no talking about Unreal Engine

  • @Imperatorumgladio

    Gears didn't invent anything. However, you could argue that it improved the cover system, although the differences between the cover systems of Kill Switch and Gears are very minor.

  • thumbs up if u also like seeing all the dead bodies that u have killed scattered in the floor!

  • THIS were the times you could call this things games, not like Call of Duty or Battlefield.

  • @hodenkrampf3 Hey, don't you diss Battlefield.

  • @hodenkrampf3 Don't even think about hating on Battlefield, Battlefield 1942 had been around a year and half before this game was even released, teh only reason everyone hates on it now is because it's gone more mainstream since moving to console.

  • Lol I don't see how ppl can go back to old ps2 games, if I was a retro gamer I'd stick to the 2D Snes graphics.

  • yup I remember playing this game. Feels exactly like GOW now.

  • I should have never sold this game.

  • shit game

  • ... is that Deus Ex music in the background?

  • @TravellerFromNowhere It sounds like the Hong Kong club, doesn't it?

  • Great game, But really hard.

  • @cryptic123575 Not Really. I beat it in a few hours, and on MAX difficulty...

    But hey, different strokes for different folks!!

  • the gears of war that never became famous

  • hey dude is this game have the pc version

    it will be nice if u replay to this message !!

    and thnx

  • @alonealone123

    yes it has ^^

  • @driverbabo can i fine on the internet the full version i just founded the demo version and i want the full plz help me !!

  • Underrated!!

  • man the pc version looks like shit compared to the ps2 version

  • is this worth getting?

  • I miss playin dis game...damn...and wats with the "'so-and-so' copied 'so-and-so'" u know it was a kool ass idea that would make the game more awesome so developers thot that the cover system was a good idea and decided that they would lik it in their game. don't mean that they copied so quit ya bitchin...dumbasses

  • I have this game in my computer...it's awesome!!!

  • So apparently every game that has a cover system is a Gears Of War knockoff or Gears Of War copied it... So I guess Vegas 2, Dead to Rights, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, and fucking Manhunt are all Gears Of War ripoffs because your can press your characters back against a fucking wall... Dumbasses

  • It's the only good level in the game imo. Also only level with decent music.

  • The first 3rd shooter game cover and engage.

  • It's Bitmap Brothers Game! That's wh it's so awesome xD

  • bad ass game

  • the musik is like the one in kknd form 1996 ^^

  • Comment removed

  • i need to get this and patch for MC Boot .

  • damn.. wish i would have gotten this back in the day..

  • I want a video of this instrumental

  • Looks generic and crap.

  • @FPWDude yeah it sucks now, but these are ps2 graphics

  • gears just copied this

  • lol at 2:17 NOOOOOO!!!!! *bang*

  • damn memories

  • gears has bad colors. the online multiplayer sux and the shit characters.

    Half Life is the better game onto the 360.

  • yeah. this game rulez. I hate Gears . Gears sux. it 's a clone.

  • @dougarr

    gears of war was a masterpiece. this was shit.

  • @turgore

    gears of war copied this get over it

  • they should make a killswitch 2 with this type of gameplay it would rule

  • Among other things this proves that Shinji Mikami was wrong about resident evil 4 being the first proper 3rd person shooter

  • You take the cover system of this game, and the off set camera angles of Resident Evil 4, and you pretty much have 90% of the TPS games out today.

  • prove to all the 360 fanboys that Geow did NOT invent the cover system.

  • Yeah and this isn't

    Try Operation Winback

  • your right it didnt invent it, it was just the first game to do it right.

  • I'm am a 360 fan boy. but u are correct. i had this game and i say it deserved way more credit than it got back in the days ... i love GOW but its game play is not the first of its kind as clearly proven here. the game play in kill switch to me was the game that enhanced the take-cover-shoot system which was later modifeid by EPIC GAMES. perhaps critics gave this game due to poor story telling. either way i did enjoy playing it.

  • @johnny4992

    Neither did this though.. Winback had it on the n64

  • @johnny4992

    Yeah, a Nintendo64 game did. Now go away PS3 fanboy, there's more to life than "this plastic box is better!"

  • @johnny4992 This game didnt invent it either. WinBack did it before Killswitch

  • @johnny4992

    The cover system was invented even before this game. But yeah, fanboys are idiots.

  • @johnny4992

    lol even Cliffy B said that the gow cover system was based on this game.

  • @johnny4992 they just invented the homo erotic steroid military grunt system

  • the music int he game was awsome to =) god this takes me back.... wish is till had this =/

  • I love how when hack and slash games come out everyone says thats just a god of war rip off but no one ever says ohh this game is a killswitch rip off when it pretty much mainstreamed the if you dont hide behind cover your dead shit.

  • becasue no1 gives a fuck about Kill Switch!Its realy sad cuz this games is awesome!

  • Uncharted 0.5: Sully's Past Adventures

  • So boring game.

  • I remember this game. It was fun, I got mad at how short it was. the repetitiveness of it wasn't even apparent then, I just enjoyed a more "real" game vs. run-and-gun.

  • gears of war copied this?

  • @skaterbubs951 uncharted 2 copied this, uncharted 2 is way overrated game!

  • @skaterbubs951 yes they did, but who cares anyway, the important thing is that you have fun playing games and not who copied this from that.

  • this is the game that invented the cover system, sweet shit.

  • this is worth buying? how many levels have? and... it´s adictive?

  • Yes - I've recorded the whole game... check it out! - Yes

  • @Dhumanio I would definetly recommend it, excellent action game, should be cheap now too.

  • This was a tech demo and they decided to make a game out of it. It's a decent game but short and very repetive.

  • ITS THE FIRST GEARS OF WAR!!!!

  • birth of modern cover system

  • Hey, dial187! Is this image of PS2 gaming?

  • @raphtree

    Yeah mate - all of the videos were made with the PS2 version of the game ; )

  • cool!!!

  • So how can someone say that Gears of War invented the cover system? They improved it, but not invented it.

  • They didn't even improve it; it's the same as this game; GeOW2 had improvements, but they copied Uncharted's fighting and shooting in the form of their "executions".

  • You gotta be fucking kidding me kiddo. They have improved it and you would know if you'e played both of the games.

  • @Twistedshampoo

    how?

  • @Twistedshampoo

    how?

  • @ps3no1 thats exactly why i came to this vid to prove that point to some1

  • Well they invented it for the new generation... Cliffy B said the cover system in gears was inspired by Kill Switch

  • better than gears...

  • Ok, I agree that game is cool!

    But, you saying that it's better than Gears of War is too much, homie!

    You seems like even never saw Gears of War, got it?!

    You're isane if you say something like that!

  • Uncharted 3 gameplay

  • Second Sight had a cover system before this AND it was better. Winback had a cover system before both.

  • wooow uncharted on the ps2!!!

  • INTERNET FIGHT!!!

  • this game looks good.

  • The dive at 2.16 is the most epic thing in recent gaming history!

  • @fixxxer928

    i know right. I remember I couldn't get enough of the dudes EPIC diving skills

  • No actually multimillion in sales, 9.4 average metacritic score, and countless of games knocking off the gears gameplay make it a good game. How about you gtfo idiot. You must own a wii and think Wii sports resort is the coolest thing around.

  • I'm seeing alot of Sony fanboys here especially the idiot who says Killzone is better than Gears. Well Gears first month's sales say high to Killzone's measly 2 mil lifetime sales.

  • Wii sports has sold more than 50 million copies,does that make it better than Gears ?

  • not saying much because it comes with the wii

  • Comment removed

  • my friend is a pure sony fanboy and he says killzone sucks wierd

  • @tuscaniman25 yep that´s true.

  • Do you realize how stupid you are? Here is the long list of cover elements in gears not in this game : Swat turning, Sliding into cover, over the shoulder aiming while in cover, blind firing, climbing over cover. The only thing Gears could have borrowed from this lame game was cover itself which is a concept used in war for ages.

  • this game does have blind fire

  • this gave us gears of war and uncharted.

    *praise*

  • A level editor would have been great on this game!

  • I loved this game, but never understood the storyline. I shall buy it again, saw it for £1.50!

  • GREENAAAAAAAAAADEE!!!! LoL I always died laughing when the guys said that.. Damn this vid bring backs memories...

  • you are good, killswitch is one of my favorites game

  • Батя в восторге был, грит малаца, хорошо зделали!

  • I agree! that's an amazing game. =)

  • HEHE, now you see how gears of war started kiddies?

  • It is rather amazing (ridiculous) how many people (cunts) think that gaming was invented in 2005...

  • Damn straight.

  • it was though!....kidding

    mass home gaming started with the atari.

  • when i was younger i bought MOH: frontline instead of this... then i saw the commercial for it... :(

  • frontline was a much better game than this...

  • i was about ten... and the commercial looked so awesome.

  • Reminds me of Winback.

  • This game was so fun.

  • true :) and so short :(

  • gears of war would not exist if it wasnt for this game

  • So agree witht that...

  • i actually bought this game when it first came out back in 2004 =D

  • Founded? Wernt? PROPER NOUNS WITHOUT CAPITAL LETTERS?

    FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

  • gears of war would have never existed without this pioneered gameplay

  • is is on xbox

  • Xbox, PC, and PS2 mate.

  • and GBA :D

  • the story plot seems alot like the new movie "Gamer" :/ now i know where they got that story from, anyway nice game :)

  • All I remember is never having enough ammo in this game.

    Also it makes me want to play Winback

  • it isnt a well deigned game...but its so addictive bac then!!!

  • anyways i already knoe all what the game is about i got this one on the first xbox i find it kind of more manual than other tps for covers and otehr stufff,BUT I THINK hes a special agent from the army so taht must be why he works alone

  • idk what your sayig right now explain better,are u telling em it the satge is non-existant on ps2 or what cuz that would be like a missing part f the story in thee game
