Umm, he says; "you know we're on it" not 'rollin' 
Indeed, the voice acting in that video is extremely good. You made it sound half-assed but there's quite a lot of effort and emotion inflected upon the words being spoken - a very rare occurrence in the world of videogames. And as for stereotypical characters it's no worse than any other game. Even something like Grand Theft Auto with production values coming out of its ass suffers from that sort of thing. I suspect it's a cheap way of differentiating between the NPC's in the thick of the game.

So, lets assume it is, what does that even mean for a game which doesn't rely upon narrative? As for why some people are excited I should think that's obvious; it looks to be a very fine game, both in terms of graphical fidelity and satisfying gameplay. None of us will know until we play it for ourselves of course, but based on players impressions from the multiplayer beta and the various previews and videos I'm slowly shifting from non-plussed, and cautiously optimistic to excited myself.
That said; I'm not expecting anything that rocks the boat as far as game design is concerned - though the multiplayer features do sound interesting for a console game, especially on the PS3 which is lacking in that department.

No, my rant was toward the general need these days to have a smart-mouth, jive inspired moron, in order to please the frat boys looking for a similar experience to their showers. Seriously, if you look at any military inspired game, you always have a "buddy" with you that can't shut his mouth.

Yeah, I know - I don't disagree. I stopped playing the latest Prince of Persia for much the same reason.

Undeniably; it really reminds me of COD4 game play wise, which is not a bad thing. I don't think it'll be as special as MGS4, but it'll certainly be a really solid FPS.

Yeah there's a definite COD4 vibe to the game, and I think Killzone 2 has the potential to be a less polarizing everyman sort of game. MGS4 isn't appreciated by everyone unfortunately.

I've just finished it... One of the best games I've ever played. The ending is kind of strange, but overall it's the best FPS since Half-Life 2 for me. I couldn't test multiplayer to much because there are only a few test servers working and only a bunch of people playing, but the single player is simply amazing. The graphics are even better than in Crysis, sound and music are wonderful - simply a must have!!

I'm a reviewer on one of the polish gaming sites, I got my game last friday... Just like I'll get Halo Wars tomorrow...  It's really the best job in the world. |

It handles a lot of detail in Killzone 2 and the game really looks amazing. I think it looks better than Crysis, but it's only my opinion it's not a fact like evolution |

From the video reviews I don't see a lot of detail in Crysis... It's better to see games for yourself. And about Gears of War - I've finished both parts, they really look fantastic, but Killzone 2 looks better for me. I don't want to start a war, so remember it's just my opinion

Cool I thought it was codes , remember a pre order notice saying the code could be used 5 seperate times but must have done away with it

EU demo doesnt need a promo code. If you make an EU account just log into EU store and download it.
Far as the review thing goes....there aint any test servers the guys right from gamespot themselves say there IS NO MULTI on the review code they had to go to developer events. Now if a premier site like gamespot aint getting multiplayer review code i doubt anyone else is, so i remain skeptical.
[edit] eu site usually updates midday uk time i beleive US usually in the evening

Where the hell did you read it  Just watch the gametrailers review if you don't believe the written ones. But wait... maybe it's a montage ? |

No offense dvsone, but Gamespot isn't the most credible of sources.
... and when I say "isn't the most" I really mean "isn't credible in any way, shape or form"
