So sony fans think this isnt as good as KZ2.... ok. Big surprise.
Personally I think some of the lighting shaders are incredible and better than what I have seen in Killzone2. They really got a cool raytraced feeling on the buildings and for example the helicopter. Which is not matched by K2.
On the other hand there are shots of Killzone2 levels with huge areas where you can see small details that are actually modeled going for a huge draw distance. I also think the particle effects in Killzone absolutely kill what we have seen in Gears2. So which is better? I think that depends what you like. Gears2 is much more smoke and mirror and always slightly blurred (details are often hard to make out) but it has amazing lighting. Killzone2 is more traditional and not as perfect but it seems to have more details, and seems to be able to create an amazing atmosphere of war and chaos with it.
Your mileage may vary.
