Reef boss Peter Rezon has told MCV that he believes Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre will be “the best shooter on Wii”. We’ll have to wait and see to if he’s right – but the game’s mix of tactics, firepower and stealth add up to a winner.
The fanboy frenzy that Killzone 2 has already kicked off online is a good indication of the buzz surrounding the title – and it’s almost in retail’s grasp. Hype for this one began life as long ago as E3 2005. Sony has backed the release with a £2 million marketing spend in the UK.
