After much anticipation we finally got a taste of Killzone 2, thanks to the demo that was released last week for Gamestop pre-order customers or those with a European PSN account. My impressions:
- You know, after so much hype and anticipation, watching videos and screenshots, when the demo finally started I was a bit disappointed with the visuals. They seemed a little drab, muted colors, and generally grey and non-vibrant. Now, that was during my first playthrough. I have now played the demo over 10 times and let me say this: The visuals are AMAZING! Seriously, it is funny how much hype and anticipation can affect your judgement (I was disappointed with The Fellowship of the Ring the first time I saw it since I was looking forward to it so much. Since that first viewing it is my favorite of the trilogy and I absolutely love it).
- I found the controls very strange during my first couple of sessions. They react slower than I am used to (CoD, Halo) and I just didn't feel very comfortable. Like any other game though, after a while it all began to click and I can now breeze through the demo, taking cover, getting headshots, and loving every minute of it.
- The demo is too short!!! What a tease! Just when you are getting into it the screen goes to black and it is over. I wish the demo had multiplayer.
The wait for 2/27 just got a lot longer.
