Was it real? Was it actual gameplay footage? The reason why people had so many questions, for those who haven't seen the trailer in question, is that the footage looked freakin' good. Almost too good. Whether it was a positive and a negative, it certainly had people wondering just how good the game was going to be, and quickly turned it into one of the PlayStation 3's most anticipated titles. Nearly three years later, we got our hands on the game at PlayStation Day 2008... so just how does Killzone 2 stack up to the other shooting games on the market, and is it worth holding your breath until February 2009 to play it?
The first Killzone left off with players finishing the fight successfully, ridding the Helghast back to their home world of Helghan. In Killzone 2, you'll be travelling to Helghan on a mission to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, in an attempt to finish the war against them once and for all. They're not happy that you're invading obviously, and will do anything in their power to stop you, and given that they've adjusted to the planets conditions very well, you and your special forces unit known as the Legion are going to have to adjust to those same conditions much faster if you're going to have a chance at victory."
