Yeah if you get it at gamestop they give you this coupon with the scratch off code to redeem the demo.

I know it sucks but according to Sony that's what they wanted to do

it can output to 1080i. i havent touched single player but online multiplayer is ridiculously fun. it takes a while to get used to shooting the guns and how to move around though.

Hey guys, how are the controls and game play overall? I was going to buy the game until I played the demo. Was not happy with it at all.

I only played it once or twice back then at the most. Haven't touched it since.

How different is the final game from the demo released earlier this month?

i just meant in terms of gameplay and story, all the current shooter games feel exactly the same, nothing really new or innovating.

but its still a fun game, and im glad i bought it.


the only reason why i wrote that in the COD4 game, was because i thought since i got a new console i lost all my XP in COD4, didnt want to bother with having to earn it all back.

never played the demo, but the controls are fine with me, but i need to tone down the sensitivity, a little too high for me.

anyone else agree that COD4 set the bar so ridiculously high in terms of FPS and online play? Since COD4 most games that I would have normally loved I feel falls short....

seriously.

Killzone 2 is meh in my opinion. Don't know why ign rated it so high. The demo was only outputting at 720p for me, anyone actually get it running in 1080i?

it says 1080i and my ps3 is set for 1080i, but its only outputting at 720p.

and are you basing your "meh" opinion on the demo or the actual game?


i actually find the game quite fun.

and the graphics are pretty

sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread, but with COD4, the fun is ALL in the live gaming/multiplayer... I played the single player ONCE on easy and I was over it... I've been playing multiplayer for over a year now, and still love it...

You have to unselect 720 p to force it into 1080i

ooohh. Not sure why they did that, how odd.

I only played the demo. I really did not like the game mechanics. I will give the full game a try (my friend got it) but it just doesn't seem like my kind of game even though I love gears, halo, cod4...

I guess I should say, it DOES seem like my kind of game because I like the others. Maybe it will warm with extended play, but the others didn't require extra play for me to love.

Progressive scan looks better than the 1080i though I think. It seems smoother. I'm gonna play in 720p.


Yo guys, we need an AZ night on this game

the multiplayer of KZ2 DOES rival COD4, its alot deeper and more fun. It introduces many new elements such as engineers building and setting turrets, players having the ability to create a spawn point in a strategic forward location on the battlefield, different medic functions, ammo supply, etc.

This is hands down the best looking console game in history. for that fact alone, its worth a look.

It's worth it. The heavier weight of the controller feels a lot better too
