Take your regular address and just change the city and state.
Oh, pfft, duh!

Either way I'm downloading the demo right now. Hopefully I won't regret preordering it from Amazon.

My impressions from the Killzone 2 demo is that the controls feel clunky and the layout is not nearly as good as Call of Duty 4s.

The cover mechanic stinks. The enemies seem to have more life than you. The sound is awful. And it feels very chaotic, which in combination with the poor sound makes for one very confusing game. I just hope the full game will be better.

Even though it may sound like it's the worst game ever, it's not, it's a decent shooter, but nothing more. Maybe the online will make up for it...
Were you playing the right demo.
If you change the controls then they HAVE THE COD4 CONTROLS.
Im guessing that by "the enemies have more life than you" you died a lot and got few kills. I took down a Helghan with 2 short bursts to the chest and then got hit roughly 8 times before I had to get behind cover.

As for the sound, it perfectly fits the scene, explosions, shouting, bullets slamming into the ground. I spend about 20 minutes slamming bullets into different materials so I could see what sound it made, its perfect. I could even hear the different sounds of the different weapons.

i played the game and... it's just bad. why do people praise it? is it the grey brown graphics? is it the bland, repetitive combat? i must be stupid or not stupid enough to see what all the fuss is about. either way, i'm not getting this game... it's just another fucking halo.

And Halo is just another Perfect Dark or Doom.

Halo wasn't the first or the best FPS ever.

what?

i never thought halo was good. i had to stop playing halo halfway through because the combat was so boring and frustrating. what halo did, however, was to kick start the onslaught of bad games for consoles, much more than anything else. to me, games like halo, killzone, gears of war, resistance and all other equally bad titles can burn in hell for all that i care.

come to think of it, halo did the same thing for the fps console games that world of warcraft did for mmo gaming: it ruined the genre, and now everyone wants to copy it because they believe it's the only way to success. urgh, the fools.

I never died... Except by my own grenades.

Also the controls are slightly different from the CoD 4 controls. And aiming is a bit weird.
And I have, after playing the demo some more, changed my mind about some of the things I said.
Also the game looks incredible :D

Hahaha try killing off your squad with the knife and they go berserk and start shooting at you.
Also instead of going through the door where the demo ends, hang around a bit and youll notice some Helghan troops try to sneak up on you.

I really like the demo. Controls were intuitive, graphics were amazing, gameplay was fun and my character actually felt like I was playing as a person. Definitely looking forward to the full game.

If my internet was halfway decent I would update my PS3 and download the patch.
this sucks, I have my special code for the ticked, but I can't use it.

its like having your cake but not being able to eat it.

It's fucking amazing, just finished my 4th play through. for those complaining about controls just simply go to the options and change it to Alternate 2 i think, and i had to turn up the sensitivity as well for my taste. The cover mechanic works marvelously, rock solid. It is slower than COD 4, but once you get used to it, it has a more realistic feel to it, just like the jumping, and the shooting. The enemies are smart...very smart, but you can still take them out if you think about what you do, such as Throwing a grenade forcing them to run and then pop them in the head. The sounds fits the chaotic gameplay perfectly, feels like your actually in a war, not some BS.

All it needs is a crouch toggle option, a stick dead zone adjuster, a tweak to the hud display options, and full controller mapping and it would be great. The controls are the only thing keeping me from marrying this game personally.

My PS3's wi-fi sucks because of it's awkward location, and is even worse when I actually use it (though for some ****ed up reason it works amazingly when I go onto PSN games), probably gonna hold out on downloading this till I take it upstairs and plug it into my router.

Already I wish that this demo was longer.
I have already played it too death because I love it so much, regardless of the fact that it can be completed in under 5 minutes.

So who will be buying it?

I will considering I've preordered it. The second game I've ever preordered in my life! LittleBigPlanet was the first.

Just out of interest, what sort of games do you usually play?
