The very first review of Killzone 2 is out. Official PlayStation Magazine had the privilege and, guess what, they liked it. A lot. Five out of five stars a lot.Based on the first half of the game, I can’t say I was over-the-moon, 5-out-of-5-perfect on the game but that was still a preview build, and I didn’t touch the multiplayer at all. True the final version could’ve turned things around for the better, so time will tell if Guerrilla managed to pull out a gem after all these years of development. I, however, will remain cautiously optimistic until I play through the final myself.

This does, however, point to the issue that has always plagued our field regarding exclusive reviews. Publishers aren’t stupid. They’re not going to allow a triple-A title to be reviewed by a publication that may give it a bad score. If they thought that would happen they would just keep the game under wraps until after it hits store shelves. So this may be a case of OPM being slightly too enthusiastic about a title in order to secure the exclusive…or it may just be a 5 out of 5 game.
