If you own a Playstation 3, I'm sure you have heard about Killzone 2. It drops on February 27, and man does it look sweet.
Apparently the story continues from the first one and more notably the Killzone that was released on PSP. Having only played a small amount of the PS2 version, I was somewhat worried that I might not be able to follow the story, but having looked around it seems it's not too much of a continuation and will be easy to follow for newcomers.

The recurring theme with next-gen shooters have been short stories. Having an 8-10 hour campaign seems to be the norm, and Killzone 2 does not stray from this trend. Although I always prefer content over length and have heard the story is great.
The multiplayer portion features a class system, which is another trend with shooters lately. The basic principle remains, level up and earn better equipment. There is really one game type to join, but objectives change as you complete a round. Sounds sweet, and you can even put bots in and play offline if none of your friends are around.
After watching several videos, I must say this game looks amazing. I always prefer gameplay over graphics, but Killzone 2 looks like it delivers on both fronts. The CGI we saw at E3 years back was really not that much of a stretch and this game looks absolutely beautiful.
A European demo is dropping tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken. I will probably make a European account just to get it and give it a shot, and hopefully have some impressions up.
