Killzone 2

I recently saw a video preview of the first mission in Killzone 2 and i must say it looks fantastic. From what i saw I'm thinking we may really have a contender for a COD4 killer on our hands. The Guerilla guys have taken full advantage of the PlayStation 3's power as the graphics look fantastic and the AI is said to act like a real military unit i know this has been said over and over again but this time it looks like the truth. The AI is essential in Killzone 2, rather than just being there to mill around shooting somewhere "near" the enemy they actually help you and you depend on them in some situations to advance through the levels. From what i saw the first mission looks insane. As you may know the game takes place on Helghan, the home planet of the Helghast two years after they assaulted Vekta, the mission begins just like any other invasion level with fire and flak flying everywhere and AI getting cut down left right and centre. You need to work with your squad to advance through the level and establish a foothold for your fellow troops bring up the rear in a convoy. I was a fan of the first Killzone and i am seriously thinking of investing in a PS3 for this one!
