i@mark s first comparering to big titles killzone2/gears2 is not necessary one fp/tp two different engines to make short with the respect to gears,killzone2 has open a new level in graphics and developers show that the engine still maturing.i own both gears 1,2 after playing killzone2 beta is more intense than gears, the fanboys need to stop with the flame war every title developers are also showing ps3 potential look at upcoming titles uncharted2,infamous,gow3

Fu#%ing awesome demo. (PS3)

Loved everything about this sneak peek. At first I played the default control scheme as previous reviewers had commented on its fidgety zoom/aiming control. Yes I found it awkward at first but got used to it in no time. After a couple of play throughs I investigated the other controller maps and discovered "Alternate 2" (I think). For all of us who enjoy the C.O.D games not to mention the majority of FPS's out there, this is where it's at.

The aiming button is mapped to L1 with R1 still to shoot. Easily adopted as your combat functions and cover system are all handled by the shoulder buttons (except for melee being R3). Sprint is easily adopted using L3 etc....

I'm addicted already. Need another hit...

Looks brilliant, plays like a dream and I can't wait for Feb 27!!!

If you don't buy this game then you're a fu#%en idiot!!!

Your retarded (period) Have you not seen the HD videos of Killzone 2 here on the website? The graphics are FAR better then any other game I have seen on a console. So whenever you think about talking, I suggest you try learning to spell before you try and make people believe your any more intelligent then them.

what is that graphics? what is this webpage, a ps3 fanpage, for me it seem so! the graphics of killzone 2 is in reality aged 4 years, it`s a hype game for ps3 losers !main thing they can say, waoh we have a exclusive title too! the graphics is developed by maya program, i developing self, look at the explosions in killzone2, it`s very bad developed, the game includes 60-70 percent dark openGL ES textures, that are not quite shader 3.0 textures, i don`t understanding this noobs where judging this game, maybe they have gotten money :)))

This may well be true, but it certainly helps. I know for a fact that I will buy one with co-op before one without if all else were equal. I happen to enjoy playing with my girlfriend, and so far we have worked through both Rainbow 6 Vegas games, both Gears games, Halo 3, Fable 2 on the 360, and Resistance on the PS3. At this point, Resistance 2 is a bigger draw for me than Killzone 2 is, and the SOLE reason for that is the co-op factor. In an ideal world I would get both, but if it comes down to it I will choose the one I can play with my partner.

I am sure I am not alone in this.

I'm not getting sucked into this. You've clearly already made your mind up without having played the game.

That's not an unbiased appraisal, it's informed zealotry. Slating the opinion of not one but two people who've played the game clearly demonstrates a closed-mindedness to any other train of thought.

No, it does not. However, by this point in gaming history, you should have the option as everyone is interconnected. :D

Triggerhappytel@ okay i'm back

@ Above, whatever your name is. Don't forget that different people reviewed Gears 2 and Killzone 2. Maybe it's something as simple as Wes is more strict with his 10/10 scores and wouldn't have awarded such to Gears 2, let alone Killzone 2.

Just take it all with a big pinch of salt. Don't forget that no review is definitive and they are all just someone else's opinion at the the end of the day. And besides, there's no need to complain because 9/10 is an utterly superb score.
