Insomniac Games community manager James Stevenson has heaped praise on Guerrilla Games’ upcoming Killzone 2, describing the hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 shooter as “awesome.”

“I did indeed beat KZ2 tonight and it is indeed awesome,” Stevenson told NeoGAF, adding, "I know there will be plenty of comments, opinions, accolades and nitpicks, but for me, the game was fun."

Stevenson went on to divulge his personal highlights, though for obvious reasons remained tipped lipped in regards to spoilers: "My favorite part of the game was when you get this certain weapon," he teased.

All things considered, it seems Killzone 2 is off to a solid start, having already bagged a 5/5 from the US Official PlayStation Magazine this month. February 27 can’t come soon enough.

    It's good that this game gets a lot of positive reactions already..  (5 out of 5 :D)

    Seriously :P can't wait for this game to come out.. Really hope that Sony handles the marketing well!

    BTW does anyone know if there are any vehicles in the game other than the tank?

    Oh boy.  We don't really need to hype this game up more do we! :p  I don't want to hear anymore about the game until it comes out.

    (Also, what is "tipped lipped".  I thought it was tight lipped?)

    that weapon could be the bolt gun, and resistance could use the KZ2 engine, imagine how awesome that could be

    I am still not all that excited about this game.  I do hope it is awesome and that I will be playing it a year from now, but I still have not seen anything that makes the game different from other FPS games.  I mean, other than graphics wise, hasn't this game been done a few times now?

    he is talking about the weapon where you get to use the lightening from the helghan planet, as the energy is chanelled through the gun. i think.........

    KZ2 will be good, be there is a very small chance that it will actually live up to all the hype.

    This guy's underhyping the game, though you can't expect him to act like it's better than his own game

    I WANT THIS NOW! Gosh. Watching gameplay videos, it just looks so satisfying to kill the Helghast, with the amazing death animations.

    Yea and just think they said they were planning to release a co-op mode after the game is out. As long as they up the difficulty should be nice.

    I played the online beta and I can't wait for this game!!!!!!! The online is solid and the lighting and the textures are unbelieveable....this is only a tip, can't wait for the story as that was very solid in the first game as well and made the single player very enjoyable.....this will be my game of the year unless Team ICO drops a huge bomb!!!!!

    This game comes out after my exams and after my new semester starts rolling. The release date is perfect timing and I will be able to sit down and beat the game multiple times.

    he didn't seem too enthusiastic about playing it. if it lived up to his hype he would've gone nuts but it didn't seem like it did

    I hope the weapon he is talking about doesn't make the rest of the story boring to play through like the last part of Resistance 2 where you were basically unstoppable.
