For the record: along with Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 is one of those games that defines a system. Great presentation, solid singleplayer experience, great multiplayer for dedicated players.... Another hit for Sony after so long. This should have been a launch title. But I keep hearing about 'control issues'.

Even the Sony Fanboys are up in arms about the controls in this game.

Their forums have been a cess pool of angry posts, whining, finger pointing and name calling. Oh wait, thats most gaming forums anyways these days - but to make it worse you're seeing a lot of "blahblahblah I want my $50 back because there is no option for turning on/off free look acceleration".

Here's the kicker: the controls, once you're used to them - are solid. Yes you will spend quite a while aiming at peoples heads in the beginning, the multiplayer is hard if you haven't done a lot of the campaign to get used to things, but overall the controls feel right, like your character has weight, unlike most shooters where no matter how big the gun or armor you can just spin freely and not worry about it.

At any rate, I will assume they will patch the game to have some of the options their community is calling for; personally I'd like to see keyboard & mouse support. Hit me up on PSN if you want to play some K2. JunoTPN8R
