Official Playstation Magazine? I think it's pretty safe to assume that it'll be getting a 10/10.

Has anyone actually bothered to scan that booklet in yet? Shame that people will use their $200+ digital cameras to take crappy photos but won't shell out the $50-$60 for a decent quality all-in-one flatbed scanner/printer/copier/fax.

agreed, i probably wont hold as much stock in that initial review as i might in subsequent ones. Its easy to see how being OPM and this game being first party could cause it to be over scored."

ah ok, i admit that i was basing off of an assumption without knowing that beforehand. IGN definatly would have given R2 a higher score than those guys then.

If it hasnt been apparent quite yet i'm actually really pumped for this game and have my copy preordered already :D

OMFG! Now that I have a PS3 I am going to be able to play this game! Yikes! The next frontier in high-tec shading and lighting is upon us *starts hyperventilating* 

People on Neogaf have finished the game. One person said "wow, just wow" but obviously can't say anymore. Only other thing I've heard is that the final boss is insane and can take up to an hour to beat.

I'm not sure why the review code has gone out this early though. I realise the Official Playstation Magazine has the exclusive but this feels a wee bit early for the mass media. All it would take would be a couple of 5's and all the hype is dead for this game = another sales flop to Sony.

I can only conclude that Sony must know they have an AMAZING game on their hands and the early review code will hopefully quash any kneejerk "the controls suck" reviews (seeing as this game handles totally different to the likes of CoD etc).

This is going to be an interesting couple of months for the PS3.

Well Hopefully it will get good reviews. Im expecting all AAA to AAAA's from reputable gaming sites.

But even if it gets worse scores im still gonna preorder this game.

They awarded Killzone 2 a perfect score, a 5/5, praising the AI and the realistic environment, and "filled with moments that can handily be described as inspiring awe".  They conclude, calling it a "powerful contender for the best game of 2009".

Well considering 1up was saying it was super polished and 3 months out this makes me happy of other revewiers see the game in the same light, however i hope this isnt just some over statement on a officially sanctioned magazines part..... Lets hope that isnt the case.

I guess if it's done and they're confident in the quality then there shouldn't be any problem with sending out the code. If the review is accurate, then it seems like they didn't send it out too early. Apparently Street Fighter IV was reviewed in the same issue and it's only being released a week earlier. From the preview coverage I have seen/heard, there's no doubt that the game will be good, but the question is will it be great and will the online be compelling enough to draw people away from other games.

Cool case for the game.  I'd like to see more games doing stuff like that.

i dunno, i think this game will be good the controlls might just be a little funky to begin with *shrugs*

Oh Jakob. If I didn't know you were eloquent with words and had a little more intelligence than the average fanboy I would just go ahead and call you a troll. I'll ignore your post as "cautious cynicism" as opposed to "outright fanboy" although I do wonder what your opinion would be if this exact same game was a 360 exclusive/multiplatform. Perhaps you'd be able to forget the fact that the prequel was overambitious for the tech it ran on and accept that the developer was able to realise their intentions after a good number of years of solid work?

Anyway, I couldn't resist posting this:



"BOOM!" and all that...

"^^well pin my scrotum to the chair. that looks awesome. "
