No more recycled gameplay. Repetition of tasks (i mean come on..).

An ending which is rewarding rather than sucky.

More weapons!

A big ask..which i doubt would ever make it into the game..but real gore.

Also the tacked on 'future' episodes..not really needed. Would've been a better game if it was just set in the past..none of this animus bullsh*t.

Whoah guys, hold your horses. I never said i 'personally' thought the first one 'sucked'. You just assumed that was my perogative for making this topic and posing the question stated in my first post. As for the statement being 'illogical' or 'ill-advised' that's a completely unfair observation. There are always -at least outside of fanboyism *cough*- two possible answers, in this case i'm aware there's a lot of resentment to those who are quick to pass judgement on KillZone 2 -which by all accounts will be a solid entry into the next gen roster of shooters- however someone has to pose the question -and consequently take the fall for doing so haha-. Anyway, thank you for all your replies, this is actually one of my first posts on the Forums :)

Ah and one last point, i agree with those of you who said that the first game in a series does not necessarily denote the quality of the series as a whole..conversely some franchises don't really deserve to be revived. I understand the first Killzone was something of an achievement for the playstation 2 especially in the wake of Halo on the original xbox but really, it could have been so much better. Lets just hope Killzone 2 reaches the potential it's predecessor should have done.

Ok, Killzone 2. Undeniably gearing up to be one of Sony's heavy hitters this year and will most likely boost sales for a short period. But the question remains:

'Why make a sequel to a game which was so woefully average in every aspect that barely anyone gave a **** about it?'

Of course, Kudos for reviving its namesake but still, i'm sure many of you know -in all honesty- that Killzone 2 runs the very real risk of becoming another non-entity plagued by hype and eventually drifting into obscurity under a tide of games which do everything Killzone 2 does, but better.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

*Oh and fanboys need not reply, i want objective statements here.
