Looks amazing! Obviously, since the best things come from the Netherlands!

MakingMusic: little bit of info on the costs. Blackbook costed €20 million, which on average the past years was some $30 million. According to Guerilla KZ2 is "well above that". That was in 2006, before the budget was rumoured to have doubled. In January 2008 the budget was estimated at €40million ($60 million) .Obviously that's development costs only. Total costs must approach $80 million (or above MGS4).

FYI: Killzone Liberation was made by 25 people.

 

Seems I was right about the $21 million USD figure, but wrong about the firgure in Euroes.  It was actually 16 milion Euros.

From GameSpot:

While Black Book cost more than 16 million euros (approximately $21 million), Guerilla won't mention specific numbers for Killzone's budget. "Our budget tops [the film]," said Killzone director Arjan Brussee. "We're working on the biggest multimedia project in Dutch history."

And they never said it was "well above that".

Also, I've never heard this rumor of $60 million or $80 million USD, and I'm not sure where you heard that Killzone: Liberation was only made by 25 people.  The number of people working on Liberation probably fluctuated heavily depending on the stage of development.  Prior to E305 (they hadn't actually begun working on Killzone 2 at the time, outside of throwing around concepts), I'm sure almost all of the team was working on Liberation.

Another review from neogaf:

My review was released also last Thursday

576 KByte (Hungary)
Killzone 2 review

Graphics: 5 (out of 5)
Playability: 5 (out of 5)
Lasting Appeal: 4 (out of 5)
Music / sounds: 5 (out of 5)

Overall: 9.7 (out of 10)

"Killzone 2 is one of the most gorgeous and atmospheric FPS ever released, surprassing easily everything the PS3 has to offer. It's easily one of the best games of 2009. What will happen with the franchise in the future? We hope that it will be successful, reaching heights of happines never reached before and bringing a real conclusion to the unfinished saga. When and how it will happen? Only God knows - he likes to be called Guerilla Games nowdays"

 According to the Swedish game site called Game reactor they visited Guerilla games for a week and they said until now the cost is at 300 million swedish kronors which is  about 30 million euros.

OPM Spain:

OPM Spain (sorry for the tanslation):

+ Amazing graphics, specially the helghast's deaths and the environments
- Some stupid reviewers are going to say that there are few colors in the game... I suppose they thought that Helghan was going to look like Disneylandia...

Graphics: 96 The best on ps3
Sound: 94 Good spanish voices
Gameplay: 95 It's a hard game
Lasting appeal: 93 10 long missions and a great multiplayer
Online: 94 32 players
Global: 95 I will give the game a higher score... however I'm completely sure that Killzone 3 will surpass this game.


Killzone 2 is a master piece.
