Killzone 2 is being billed as the best Playstation 3 game to date. While Metal Gear Solid 4 undoubtedly holds that title right now, when Killzone 2 is released at the end of February, it’s likely to provide stiff competition.
In preparation for the February 27, 2009, release date, Sony and Guerrilla Games have seen fit to release the demo on to PSN (Playstation Network) today (Feb. 5). However, only those with a European account need bother trying to download it.
In a bizarre decision, Americans had to pre-order the game at GameStop in order to get an early look at the game. So U.S. gamers who haven’t pre-ordered will have to wait another three weeks to have a go at the demo.
This video shows gameplay footage from a trailer released last year. As you can see, the graphics look incredible – almost lifelike, and this is in-game footage rather than video from a cut scene.
The demo contains a tutorial and the opening two sections of the Corinth River section of the full game. If it’s anywhere near as good to play as it is to look at then Killzone 2 promises to be one hell of a game.
