Some people have a nasty habit of overhyping things. I didn't play Killzone 2 so I pretty much accepted it was the second coming as far as graphics go.. I fired up Killzone 3 and watched the opening cinema. IS THIS WHAT THE GAME LOOKS@LIKE?, I thought. No, it wasn't. A great looking game but nowhere near what I was expecting.
Controls are great. I have no idea what's going on as far as the story goes. Online was pretty bare-bones but still fun. I'll go at it with realistic expectations later today and try co-op a little later in the week. Not a bad purchase at all.
