I thought you are not allowed to resell these?

You won't be, someone could get their ass handed to them.

Wouldn't put it past these discs being stamped/coded somehow to link back to what firm/group of journalists they were sent to. Maybe not individual people, but like a batch of discs being stamped "Gamespot".

Ebay will probably pull the auction before it finishes anyway.

That is what I am thinking. Although I have seen Review copies being sold on eBay before that did finish so who knows but anyone who is stupid enough to pay at amount of money needs their brain checking.

Graphics: 5 (out of 5)

Playability: 5 (out of 5)

Lasting Appeal: 4 (out of 5)

Music / sounds: 5 (out of 5)

Overall: 9.7 (out of 10)

"Killzone 2 is one of the most gorgeous and atmospheric FPS ever released, surprassing easily everything the PS3 has to offer. It's easily one of the best games of 2009. What will happen with the franchise in the future? We hope that it will be successful, reaching heights of happines never reached before and bringing a real conclusion to the unfinished saga. When and how it will happen? Only God knows - he likes to be called Guerilla Games nowdays"

Final score description (roughly translated):

When compared to all other console titles - while on PC Crysis remains only true competitor regarding graphics - Killzone 2 takes every of it's moment to justify it is the first true and pure Next-Gen title in every mean imaginable.

And for those interested

The review embargo for Killzone 2 lifts on February 2, which is when the Internet will become flooded with tons of analysis from critics around the world.

Yeah that's had gif treatment already :p

[kyro]

WOW, sweet.

Guys, question, I did like Resistance 1 and was planning to get Resistance 2 too, shall i get it or simply skip that and get Killzone2 ? i dont think i will be able to focus on playing resistance 2 and killzone news running everywhere. :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I'd wait for KZ2 personally, there is gonna be a huge switch over from gamers on R2 currently to KZ2, no doubt.

Just pick up R2 cheaper down the line, play the hot titles while they are hot ;)

I enjoy R2 online, it's more in-line with Halo/COD and other fast paced/twitchy shooters. I'm not that great at games like that though, which is why I am also now kind of waiting on KZ2 (coupled with the fact it has classes, I play pretty awesome as a support class... medic in TF2 FTW!). Although I was playing some R2 last night.

It seems KZ2 online is a little slower/more tactical.

If you can get it cheap, I'd go for it. It's the only game with 8 player Co-Op which you might find a decent timesink.

Art for this game is pretty awesome - I have no idea how this passed in Germany, I'm beginning to think that's a rumour :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was false tbh, was it actually confirmed?

A well known/respected user on NeoGAF posted it, I'll try and see if he linked a source. I believe it may have come from a press release?

But with all the violence/swearing/blood and complete Nazi-style imagery, I doubt it.

Unless Sony impressed the officials of Germany that well with the game play :rofl:

Are we expecting big numbers from Killzone 2 then? I hear they are expecting sales in the MGS4 range, which I find difficult to believe considering the little to no marketing this game has had.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Exactly, thats what I was saying the other day. Violence and blood is allowed (as long as it isn't red), but the Nazi references are a HUGE no no.

I don't think there is anything wrong with swearing in Germany & games, not sure on that one.

The game isn't out for over a month. Expect marketing to start up around the time reviews are released (beginning of Feb). We already have a European KZ2 bundle confirmed also.

It's an FPS, the most popular genre of games, and one that's probably going to score highly. It's going to sell well.

The graphics are the best seen yet, online play has some pretty fresh ideas and community support (clan system/tournaments) is top notch. Meaning it has stand out points, it's not just a recycled FPS.

No competing FPS games are released around the same time as it either, at least nothing like Halo/COD.

The online following is starting to reach the cult levels seen for things like Halo, and while those people draw much negative attention as they go ballistic if their game is in anyway criticized, that sort of following makes Halo as popular as it is today.

Look at the size of the NeoGAF KZ2 topic - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342018

It's getting pretty crazy.

I personally can see it easily becoming the best selling PS3 game so far - MGS4 currently holds that position (I think?).

Sony do need some good marketing campaigns though, no doubts, a big cult following online ain't gonna do everything for you, it just helps.

It's no Halo killer, nothing will ever be, or has to be - But it's definitely shaping up to be Sony's exclusive FPS that could deliver the rabid fanbase Halo does exclusively for MS.
