I was one of the few lucky bastards who got invited to Holland to playtest Killzone 2. I had sit on a plane for about 9 hours, but when I stepped of the plane, headed into the office building, and picked up the controller, I didn't want to leave.
I'm under the NDA here so I'll be precise without giving anything "Away". First off lets cut the bullshit. Do not EVER compare COD4 to KZ2. The Latter rapes the shit out of it. Are we good? No more? Yes? No? Maybe so? Ok now.
I pick up my controller, and I start seeing some of the most beautiful art I've seen. (And I'm not talking about gaming I'm talking art in GENERAL).
The Games attention to detail is so good, when you stop sprinting you can fucking see the SWEAT ON HIS HANDS DRY UP. Now we get to the action. The action was some of the most epic kick ass, moments in gaming.
IF killzones last six missions are like the First, this may become an instant classic. First of the Helghast look good, and there fucking smart. They will chase you when your reloading, flank you, when you don't expect, your allies are actually useful, (Hell they've saved my ass a few times).
The death animations....Jesus....I snuck up on a guy and shot in the back of the head a magnum just to see what he'd do. The dude not only reached for it slowly like he was trying to see if it was there, but the blood actaully stained his fucking clothes, and blood flew down on the ground untill the appropiate force stopped it.
You think Linear levels are now shit now? Play the third mission and you'll be wishing Far Cry 2 was Linear.
Now I get to the end and then OMG Mech comes out of fucking nowhere and kills a squad member, and you have to take this bitch out. (

) I was stuck and I couldn't figure out how to beat him. (YEs it's the same Mech from the trailer.) EVERY time I died it changed it's strategy, and I couldn't figure it out, as it never repeated itself.
It's not without it's problems (But if I told you them it would give away WAY too much of the game. One of them is the weather is overpowered. You'll find out what I mean on Dec 4th. My mouth stays shut till then. Happy killing. Run along back to your betas kiddies

. I'm gonna go Helghast hunting. I need a new trophy.
Killzone is here, and it will stay in your PS3 for a LOOOOOOONNNNNG time.
