I didn't think the game would do so well. I'm actually surprised! If it grabs great sales, perhaps we'll see developers bring over more RTS goodness that actually works.

Even though I'm not into Halo, I really want to see for myself how the controls handle.

If you have a 360, download the demo. Read this thread - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=59463 and a vast majority of posters enjoyed the game. It's not for everyone but still, most liked it.

The only real negative comments are coming from folks who haven't played the demo, who want the game to fail, or folks who are diehard PC types and wouldn't get it a fighting chance to start off with.

 

So, nobody genuinely disliked the game?

I'll admit, I tried the demo at a friend's house and enjoyed it.

That thread - and this one - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=58727 - most posters enjoyed it. No one has to lie about it. Most folks knew it was an RTS, weren't hyped about it and played it - and fell for it. I was one of them. Folks are saying this and that about KillZone 2, based off the demo, and reviews. It's a FPS, which are huge sellers on both consoles vs. RTS game, which are lucky to clear 600K. This game, to sell a million, will be awesome for an RTS. It's a different standard, and wants to chart into virgin territory for console RTS games.

At least Halo Wars tries to bring casuals and non-RTS gamers into the RTS fold. KillZone 2 really brings nothing new to the table. And while you'll see a lot of folks who loved the demo, you will also see a lot of folks colored skeptical, or who weren't impressed with the Killzone 2 demo.
