Honestly, why is Killzone 2 so highly hyped?

I don't know.... maybe because some people out there don't believe that a game being on an "evil" Sony console bars it from the possibility of actually being a good game? Look at UT3, I played it tonight, I've NEVER been good with FPS on computers because I couldn't get the WASD + Mouse motion right. But after playing UT3 tonight, I am convinced that FPS games can have both great graphics and great controls on the PS3. As far as this etherial "gameplay" concept that I hear all the Wii fanboys talk about, just because a game doesn't have you breathing into a microphone or flailing your arms around doesn't mean it isn't fun (and has good "gameplay").

Have you played any FPS's on Wii yet? No? Didn't think so.

On topic,

I think people are hyping this game because it looks fantastic and it's really one of the few really exceptional things people can point to and be proud of concerning their console of choice. Judging either way at this point in time is pre-mature, but their is no reason (not even the track record of this game) that says this game won't be amazing. If you judge something before you actually play it you'll be just as silly as "theshoe23".
