    why do people care about the reviews?  Obviously, yes, Killzone 2 is a great game.  I thought we already realized this with the first real gameplay videos?
    still don't think it's going to have the staying power though

    but did they just say the controls are baddish?  I hope not, that would suck, although I can see how it could be. Doubt it though, probably are fine

    anyway, I'm pretty sure that this is going to fill my COD urge.  (cod isn't my main mp game though)
    My biggest complaint against the game was that it seemed generic.  It definately isn't now.  Has something unique about it.

    obviously you haven't played it, because the online has enough staying power to kick cod4's arse. And since we know co-op and new modes and new maps will all come post release, it will definitely keep players who reach full rank coming back for more too. 
    And uh....why do people care about the review?! for fuck sake man, this was the most hyped game this generation. people want to know if it lived up to the hype or not.

    ^no, I haven't played it, lulz
    what I meant is that it will fill that spot

    I have the H-spot and a C-spot.
    the H-spot is for the more unrealistic arcadey shooters and the C-spot is for the pulling L1/T and then shooting.
    I prefer the H, but the C needs love as well.

    lol. well be assured man the online is tight and if you get into a clan it will be an ongoing affair.

    The class system in it should be terrific.

    I wish I had a PS3 for this. This actually makes me want to trade my Xbox.

    I'll definitely be picking this game up on day one.  It'll be a nice game to tie me over until CoD 6 comes out.

    clans suck.
    gaming with friends = win

    use to be big into clans, but they're just a dumb idea really.
    clans probably just started out as the idea of gaming buddies.

    Besides, this game doesn't look so made for competitive play, if it were they would have more predictability and less glitter (like smoke and dirt) filling up the screen.

    ummmm....all the people in my clan are my friends, people i went to highschool with and just friends plus a couple of random dudes who i thought were good and invited to my clan (im talking about socom and cod4 here). you seem to be totally out of touch. do you not have any friends to play videogames with? i would never make a clan with random people i don't know.  
    and as far as you lame ass "this game doesn't look so made for competitive play", you gotta be fucking kidding me?!
    that remark is equivalent to this:

    "why do people care about the reviews?"
    Because in most cases it is the only method the consumers has in determining the quality of a product before release; and ultimately helps in the decision making process. I don't put a lot of stock in reviews, but I do take an average of scores for a game of interest to myself. I know I don't like gambling $60 everytime a new game I want is released. Do you?

    People may also care about reviews because it validates the perceived greatness of something they've been waiting for. There are many people who have been looking forward to Killzone 2 for awhile and it adds an extra layer of excitement knowing the press is (thus far) onboard. Why do you care why people care?
