Played a few hours of the full game, and it's excellent - the story aspect really shouldn't work, but it does, and it's a big part of what makes the game a lot of fun to play. The handling is really satisfying too. And I thought the demo was terrible... Reply0
Deus Ex, the point where you are captured and held hostage. As you fight your way through the prisoner blocks, administration wings and creepy science labs you finally break through a door into.... into.... WAIT A MINUTE!!! Haven't I been here before?

The wiki page isn't quite right - the masks are basically filters which reduce the deadly effect of Helghan's atmosphere, but don't eliminate it entirely, though later generations have become more resistant through genetic adaptation. Mask-wearing also has social and political significance for the Helghast, as well as being an integral part of their military uniforms, which is probably the most likely explanation of why they wear them when invading Vekta.
The ISA aren't wearing masks in KZ2 because they aren't expecting to be there (on Helghan) very long.
Really enjoying this... it lacks a lot of the complexity and challenge of the original, but that may be no bad thing! And the episodic structure works really well, too - if I was playing it as a normal disc-based game, I'd probably play about an hour and then never pick it up again, but there's definitely something more-ish about downloading the chapters and playing through the bite-sized chunks... Worth checking out, after all, there's not exactly many other survival horror games being released onto the market these days :| Reply0
