Ohh Yeah Killzone 2 Demo Is Up!!!

[MaxwellGT2000]

So yeah now that I'm a little less annoyed I'll post my experience.

The ups:

Graphics are the best for a console FPS

Death animations are cool

The AI is very creative, on the normal difficulty that the demo is on the AI felt a little dumb but I'm guessing that's the difficulty.

The downs:

Bad button layout with only 6 presets that bugged the mess out of me, if you're going to have presets have more then 6 or do the smart thing and allow for customization, GG should know better as they were PC guys and how important customization is.

No toggle crouch (press and hold is annoying and leaves you with one less finger to use) Note: it amazes me they don't have this but have toggle zoom

No toggling cover (press and hold is annoying and leaves you with one less finger to use)

Invisible walls, I saw a path I thought I could walk to tackle the objective from another route, so it made the game seem linear, no multiple ways to take on a task.

Boxes that go halfway into the ground at times, so collision detection. Note: a pet peeve of mine lately is destroyed items just disappearing after being destroyed and all the items I destroyed in this game does that there's no pieces that break away but break of into nothing until the whole box is gone.

LOL moments:

Shot a can that burst with blood.

A single machine gun bullet threw one guy back what would be equivalent to about 5 feet in real life.

Needless to say I did a lot of tooling around in the demo trying to see where this game innovated or made FPS games on a console better and other then graphics and enemy AI, though that AI was stupid and hoping the final product will be better. After that I was just frustrated with the controls and lack of control options, the layout felt rather wonky in each preset. And from the demo I saw little innovation, the weight of the characters some people talk about is nothing new, the guns were standard fare, and the voice acting is still as LOL-tastic as KZ1 sadly... it really upsets me as I was hoping for something that can pull me away from CoD4, WaW, and Left 4 Dead that's exclusive on PS3.
