I didn't really care for Killzone at first. Sure, it looks pretty but I don't really think it offers much to the shooter genre. Then again, I don't really care for Gears of War or Resistance either but I suppose that's to be expected. Anyway, the point is the game is getting s olid reviews and any time a game gets reviews as good as Killzone is getting, I definitely want to try it. Alas, I do not have a PS3 but I have friends with them.

As for the selling point, what makes Killzone that good or different? Graphics I suppose are the first thing that comes to mind but is that it? Are we just giving the game a free ride because it has top notch visuals? As an example, I played Gears of War 2 recently, a game that got great scores and I didn't get what was so good about it. It was fun I suppose but it was bogged down by uninteresting vehicular sequences and tons of glitches. Compared to Halo 3, GeoW 2 seemed featureless as well offering a bare bones package in comparison.

The point of this, is if you get Killzone in the coming weeks (I think it comes out on the 17th or maybe the week after) please tell me how is it and what makes it so different.
