graphics look amazing, but psm3uk in their newest issue talked about killzone 2 feeling"slow and wooly " compared to cod4. And that theres no" lock on " and "enemies still take too long to die".
However they said guerilla sed this would change and tbh this is a day one purchase for me if the reviews on metacritic etc are 80%+. With so much hype surroiunding it i think sony will really be pushing guerilla to sort out all the fault of killzone 1 (ai , fps etc) and i think the gameplay will excellent purely because sony is forcing gueriila to make this game as gd as possible. (because of all the people wantin got buy it if its gd)

 

GG's games generally have the "slow and wooly" feel to them, if you want to describe it like that.  They aim for realism, and this results in the game not having things like lightning fast reloads and superhuman running speeds.

You can see in the gameplay vids how the main charcter walks a bit slower than those in the average shooter, and the way his gun sways as he moves forward, etc.

Of course, GG has said they're aiming for a more tactical feel, forcing you to rely on cover rather than running and gunning a lot.  Hence the cover system.
