I checked google, the demo is open for everybody in Europe, however if you are in the US, you need to have pre-ordered the game from Gamestop in order to receive the demo today. If not, you have to wait until the 26th for the demo.

It's a short demo, lasting about 10-15 minutes and is a small section of the first level. It doesn't reveal much about the story, it's just a demo to showcase the overall feel of the game. It took me a while to get used to because I was never into FPS games until I played COD4. It's different to COD4 and WAW because in those games, the person you control seems to move more freely and has no weight so the action is always fast. In this, the guy you play as feels heavy and as a result moves around slower. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it's just different and more realistic.

The standard control setups are shit. A stupid feature is having to use R3 to aim with the sights. However, change the control setup to the one called 'Alternate 2' and the controls become (almost) identical to those of COD.

The cover system may take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it works really well. The only annoyance is that you have to hold L2 to stay behind cover instead of just pressing it once to snap to cover and then pressing it again to leave cover, but this is a minor issue.

I know you only played the demo, but how does it compare to Gears?

If you had fun with gears you will have fun with this game. Gears is one of the best shooters I've ever played and and from a combat perspective - the feel of the gunfights an the cover system it feels quite a lot like gears to me. I haven't played gears of war in a while so i might be wrong about this but fom what I remember, I guess you could say this is like a first person version of gears of war. If you like gears, you won't be disappointed with this.

Similar to Gears, I was a big fan of GoW1 (never played 2, sold 360 right afterwards).

I played with the sensitivity, and it helps but still not as fluid as COD. I was playing campaign, but I was in a MP mind frame trying to see what it would be like if it was multiplayer. Didn't like the melee attack, it's basically hitting with the stock of your assault rifle. Not 100% sure, but I think you have to equip knife in order to use it. GoW melee is the best i've ever seen with the chainsaw, sick. I wasn't enthralled with the KZ2 demo, very short. For me, it's GoW > KZ2. I really hope KZ2 MP is more like COD, with the perks, secondary grenades (smoke, flash etc) etc..

Just read on PS3 forums that MP will not be like SP, whew! Apparently the SP is designed to make you use their cover system, and the cover system doesn't exist on MP. GoW cover system >>> KZ2 cover sytem.

The multiplayer is similar to COD as you can customise and mix and match classes. It has something called badges and ribbons which are the equivalent of COD's perks.
