I liked the school part,it’s refreshing to see that (if i’m not mistaken) Monolith personally handled this version unlike F.E.A.R. 1 on ps3,which was an utter technical failure.

I won’t wait for this to drop the price,I’ll wait instead for a price drop on Killzone 2 next winter :D,if it lives up to the Hype. lol

Yeah, waiting for the price to fall isn’t a bad idea at all.

as a note – the ghosts can be shot or disintegrated if you will, and I found that slowly moving through the hallway was far creepier than running all the way down the corridor. That part was excellent, especially late at night/early morning with the lights off and the sound cranked. Holy crap!
All in all – no major changes to the physics, you still kick stuff around when you walk around or should I say float around … the graphics are very nice (PS3) and they went out of their way to make enemies very colorful to break up the ‘drab’ settings. Their armor had bright blue hues and it seemed that their ‘blood’ was yellow and other bright colors.
With Killzone 2 coming out a few weeks after this one – I’ll definately wait for a lower price and then I’ll enjoy it in the summer late at night.

It didn’t seem like a one-off. If the game turns out to have one or less of these sections, then I’ll be interested in it again. For now, from what I’ve seen, I’m not.

yeah it was out of place but you can’t give up on a game just cause of one short scene of the game, it was still pretty scary and tense

Why do studios make games so dark these days? I hate playing games that are dark (visually). I need color in my life baby! Kill Zone 2 looks good, but looks like it is mostly dark as well. I am looking forward to games such as RE5 and of course – GTA4 – Lost and Damned DLC. Bright, colorful, FUN!

EA, I tried to explain in the article- I felt that the section was out of place. In a game which was so tense previously, stomping about killing stuff just didn’t feel right.

Yeah, I can sort of agree with you about the gunden type machine… I didn’t mind blasting things in it… I like that you can’t ‘go down’ with the armor… I liked the demo pretty much though and seemed interesting though I haven’t a clue about what it’s about… still it’s a shooter not sure yet if it’s a rpg.

I though it was pretty good but all that talk about the “amazing graphics was just talk” mind you I played the ps3 version. It was kinda scary and that hall filled with ghosts was REALLY well put. I was one of the few who actually enjoyed the mech part, for me it was pretty fun. Why did you all find it so bad?
