Cool, I have to say that I'm pretty disapointed cause I haven't seen any commercial by now (excepted the valentine's day stuff in germany).

The game will be released in 10 days, it's time for the hype machine sony!!!

chan i always thought a week of ad blitz was just enough to get the message across. anything longer i feel you gain a chanoce of people losing intrest.

Well, the original Killzone sold quite a bit more in Europe than in NA.

I'm not sure if it was because of better promotion by SCEE vs SCEA, the fact that GG are European and Europeans are more likely to support their own (European devs outside of the UK aren't all that common), if GGs being European resulted in them making a shooter more tailored to European tastes, or a combination of these factors, but it makes sense that the sequel would be advertised more heavily there as well.

I fully expect Killzone 2 to sell better in Europe than in North America, going the opposite of titles like Resistance 2, Halo 3, Gears of War 1/2, etc.

European reviewers gave the game higher scores than in NA, in my local magazine they gave it +8 and that is why I picked it up.

Playing the game sure beats playing the tourist in Amsterdam :-/  It's not that lovely a city tbh.
