You are judging the game based on that idiot, he does nothing but bitch and compare the game to halo, and makes up shit that is not true. This is a review of his first 3 paragraphs.
"I asked myself this as I slogged through an early level in Killzone 2" He already sounds pissed at the game.
"PlayStation 2 wanted its "Spartan" and the original Killzone was called to task, failing miserably" Calling the first killzone a failure, it has an average of over 70%, the game also sold atleast 2.4mil copies. He is also trying to bring Killzone and Sony down with his Spartan comment.
"we wonder if a true "Halo killer" stands before us." Halo Killer?? of course he brings that up, he loves Halo and thinks the world of it. Just trying to bring up media bullshit and make himself sound stupid.
"The E3 2008 demo begins with a beach landing (what else?) " WTF kinda comment is that. Bitching about the game and he still has not even played the game for a second.
"Where Halo offers relief" Why is he talking about Halo again.
"It was difficult to judge Killzone 2's gameplay. It was rough," What was rough? He does not say, we have all seen the game being played and i don't ever remember seeing anything that looks rough.
"The framerate wasn't there" WTF is he talking about, in no other preview they ever mention a Framerate problem, i have also watched hours of gameplay and have seen no slowdown. The game runs at a perfect 30FPS at native 720p, 4xQAA, with real time ray tracing.
"I felt slow and clumsy, constantly fiddling with the control schemes and axis sensitivities." Maybe if this guy did not suck, he could play the game, just today i watched a 6min gameplay video and the game was smooth and the player had zero problems what so ever. I bet he was trying to play the game like halo, jumping around and tossing greandes while going in for the melee kill.
"The cover mechanic, mapped to the "crouch" command, worked and didn't (e.g., it was frustrating that I couldn't pop up out of cover and use the zoomed weapon view)." You can do this, this has been seen in many videos dating back to the e307 video's. Here is a recent video where this feature is being used At about 2:30 the player is using lean and peek and goes into his zoomed view shoots some guy then drops back down behind cover using the lean and peek ability. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34157.html?type=wmv
