Killzone 2 Demo Review

[Brett Alex]

No, I never played Killzone 1. But, I can thwack people with my "Looks sorta like a real-life rifle with real-life reflex-type scope" rifle and kill them. And no, you stand-up/popup to fire. Is there a way to duck down when taking cover at low walls? The Hellghast clearly have no interest in chest high walls.

Yeah I realized that you couldn't on replay. And yes, they really could a thing or two from the locust.

I must say I thought it looks great if not as gushingly 'awesome' or 'best looking game eva'. I also prefer the hold down Rainbow Six style cover system to the snap on Gears Of War style. And I don't think gritty brown or gritty black are bad things for a gritty game.

That said without playing a MP aspect of the game you can't say how amazing a game is because a game is a sum of its parts - and level design tends to be awesome for the first 2 - 3 levels in SP but slacks off (as a generalisation) so we'll see). I have pre-ordered it however

Actually Killzone 2 rips off the SS and generally the Nazi's as Guriella explained with Killzone 1, plus red/orange is the most intimidating colour.

Thats true Guriella was sota trying to satireish the nazis in KZ1, if I remember correctly.
