LoL Tom Chick!

Actually, what is much more interesting then this silly artical is the poster. Yet another sad, envious 360 fanboy trying to bring Kz2 down... boring!

Actually I feel it is more likely that his acting background is showing through, he feels like a critic who writes for the intellectual elite (ie other critics) and not to the general public. Film critics invariably suffers from this but game reviews have traditionally understood the line between artism and audience preference.

That is a definite possibility with Chick.  He has been around so long, and played so many games, that you get overly picky and anything more derivative is going to get dinged.  If your aim is 5 feet off the ground, or whatever, you get complaints.  The writing level is reviewed, and everything else but having fun counts.

What I see in KZ2 is a very promising exclusive FPS for the PS3.  It is set to be enjoyed by most FPS fans, unless there is some last second surprise, which Tom Chick didn't seem to reveal, or anyone else, outside of these complaints about the controls.

Poster, as in original poster?  If so, dude, you seriously need to get over yourself, and the opinions of other regarding Killzone 2.  Killzone 2 will exist and have sales independent of what myself, or people on here think.  If you fully read what I wrote, you will see what I said about the game. 

Concerns that I, or anyone else, is "bringing Killzone 2 down" is that you are making Killzone 2 out to be more than a videogame meant to entertain.  And that is part of the problem with this whole Killzone 2 buzz.  It is being used to pump up the PS3, or a thing to attack to take down the PS3, because a potentially reall good to great exclusive FPS not playable on the 360 or Wii.  It is a battleline for significance.

When discussed as just a piece of entertainment, pro or con, then I can post counter opinions and it doesn't matter.  But if your identity is shaken by something bad, then you have issues.

Want to know something?  After seeing the demo, and the documentary with the designers, Killzone 2 is on my watch list and to look to eventually pick up at this point.  So, on that note, I guess you refer to another poster, because it is not me.

Well, Based on the Demo it is well worth playing. I have played the demo a number of times, each leaving me wanting more.

People have complained about the controls, and the textures not being where they are supposed to be.  But what I saw in a video of the demo being played is excellent background noise (very atmospheric) and the ability to make out backgrounds better, and not a dust storm and smoke all the time, so it looked cleaner and with more color.  I was impressed by it.  I am job hunting now so I am on a severely restricted budget, so I will need to hold off.  This is about the only thing that stops me now.  That, and I am letting someone borrow my PS3.
