Killzone 2's Successor
As Killzone 2 finally hits stores today, we take a look at what Guerrilla Games could do next.

#4: Dance Dance Revolution: Killzone Edition
You know what the arcade music genre needs? An unending deluge of grit, gore, swearwords and dynamic light sources, that's what. You can keep your stupid band-themed Guitar Heroes - we're getting down with those cats in the fluorescent eye-wear.
Guerrilla's procedural animation and physics tech, custodian of many a spectacular Helghast death, might be put to the service of the almighty Jive: instead of following on-screen prompts, you could make characters dance by shooting them. Pump a shot into somebody's shoulder for a snappy pirouette, then blast them in the crotch to make them bow to the audience, and drill a few rounds into the corpse for a keeerazy breakdance routine. Throw in a few licensed tracks - 'Oops I Did It Again' death-metal orchestra remix (feat. Colonel Radec), perhaps a touch of Abba, the Backstreet Boys - and this one might just fly.
Acts To Follow:
- Spice World - Sure the Spice Girls have Emperor Visari's looks, but can they rival his caramel-smooth vocals?
- Def Jam: Icon - The only game we can think of where you hurt people with music. Oh wait - hello Zubo.
Killzone 2 is (finally) out now for PlayStation 3.
