Killzone 2 demo

The Killzone 2 demo came out this week for people that pre-ordered the game or for anyone that won a code online. Unfortunately we didn’t have any codes to giveaway, so I hit up a friend Bernie who had obtained a code.

After having the code for two days, I was able to set aside some time to play. The download took forever when it finished I jumped in right away. First mistake I made was to make the controls too sensitive. I’m not the best shooter player at when the camera is too sensitive, my aim is all over the place.

The demo starts out as one campaign and one difficulty. You end up having a rough landing with your squad then run out to take out the Helghast threat. The graphics in-game are great. The menu system does this weird glitchy thing that made me nauseous. But then again, I do have food poisoning, so maybe that doesn’t help.

Along the way, the game gives you a prompt with how to shoot, how to take cover and how to throw bombs. While the AI does seem to have a certain level of intelligence, every once in awhile you will have to save them. Healing is pretty easy, just make sure you aren’t surrounded by the enemy because it does take a few seconds.

I found that if you focused your aim, you had a better chance of taking people out. Just shooting with the open aim did not seem to do as well. Overall the demo is really fun. I recommend you download it and try it out. Killzone2 will be out February 27 for the Playstation 3. Based on the demo, I can’t wait to try out the full game.
