    Killzone 2

    The demo is good fun, the graphics are brilliant (in my opinion). KZ1 on PS2 was the most popular game Online (still fairly good these days) and the SP was good. Killzone 2 has been massively highly rated from what I've seen and it looks really good. Release Date: 27th February. Anyone else looking into it?

    [if you are a noob, it's a 'futuristic' FPS. KZ1 is the invasion of an Earth Colony by the enemy Helgan. You and a squad of invincible people [;P] repulse the invasion (it's very good, there is even a defending D-Day style scene =P). Killzone 2 is you and the army you are part of called the ISA (I dunno what it stands for anymore) invading the Helgan Homeworld, Helga [inventive? ]. You are part of a special forces squad who is working with the initial invasion forces, performing special tasks. In gaming language: You mix between large clashes of forces (including being around tank battles from what I've seen, whether you drive the tanks, idk) and small squad operations.

    Some In-Game Screens:

    Weapon = SMG
    Character to the left = ISA Trooper with a standard ISA Assault Rifle.


    Demo Mission Shot.


    720p shot.


    Standard Helgan Enemies, although you face many different weapons. There is also some weird enemies which you have to shoot in the head to spin them around and shoot their breathing kit on their backs.

    The demo is fantastic, if a bit short.
    But I really think that Killzone 2 could be one of the best games ever!

      I agree! [Note: I realise that last picture isn't a whole in-game screen as I labelled it, but I think it's just cropped].

      I love the movie at the end of the demo, really made me want the game.

          My PS3 should be arriving today! I had to send it in for Sony to fix my BluRay disc reader. I can't wait to catch up on the PSN store.

            I played the first part "back in the day" and it was cool. And after playing demo for this, i think this will be :awesome...

            Here's some footage from the MP against bots.

            KonsoliFIN on Suomen suosituin harrastelijavoimin ylläpidetty videopelisivusto ja -keskustelufoorumi.


            Admin from this Finnish console forums got press copy(is that the right word(s)?) of the game. And he recorded this...

            Few tips...

            At first when you click on the link, you will get the "viewer discretion is advised"(in Finnish), and you have to "confirm that you are 18 or over". So just click on the button in the middle what says "Vahvistan että olen yli 18-vuotias" and it should work...

            And the site doesn't have auto-play(the site was launched while back and it's still bit under construction)...

                I don't have a source for it. I might be able to find one, but I read this a while ago. Even though a lot of people thought SOCOM was more popular, I learnt otherwise.

                  I heard that Socom 2 was the most popular online PS2 game.. but with Socom Confrontation being so horrible im not sure how 2 was any good.

                    SOCOM 2 was amazing and extremly active, having bought KZ1 thinking it was the Halo Killer the MP sucked which was what let down Killzone as a product, great SP, pretty awful MP. I think you'll find SOCOM was more popular to be honest.

                        Re: Killzone 2 [Demo On PSN]

                        After I played this demo a while back I have to state that contrary to what many reviews say I do see this game setting new benchmarks for the genre. I find it hard to believe that any self respecting developer would want to release a game that doesn't hit close to the graphical mark of Killzone 2. Granted, it isn't going to change how we think an FPS should play- but certainly how we all think it should look. These men and women did a great job making this game.

                        I am sure one day a FPS will come along that gives the reviewers everything they want- unbelievable graphics, amazing AI, optimal sound, perfect dialogue scripting, completely unique weapons, default controls without complaints, unequaled action, a storyline that would make the writer for The Shawshank Redemption stand and clap, and infinite replayability. However, until Jesus himself makes a video game this is as about as close to a perfect FPS as we can get.

                        This game is artisticly brilliant in visual style and rough, gritty appeal. Killzone 2 comes pretty close to the mark on capturing a battlefield scenario (all be it you feel a lot more invincible playing a game- obviously). This game will be a sure thing for any FPS fan. Anyone with the means, the console, and the love for FPS should CERTAINLY pick up this game when it releases next week (Feb. 27th, 2009). I give my word that you will get your entertainment value with this purchase- *ding*

                        I look forward to seeing you guys on KZ2! (PSN ID: Itazura)
