If you are wondering why people are excited to get their hands on Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3, look no further than the trailer above. Sony and Guerrilla Games have decided to release a trailer featuring many of the soldiers included in the game and getting shot…in slow-motion. As sick as it sounds; it is a thing of beauty.

When we had our first opportunity to the play the first-person-shooter at last E3, two things popped out of the screen. One was the obvious; the graphics were gorgeous. But the second hasn’t been talked about nearly as much and it is the way enemies die. There was something about pounding a enemy with lead and seeing each and every bullet impact his body. It was something disturbingly real…and cool! Watch the video up top and see what we mean.

Killzone 2 is coming to stores on February 27, 2008.
