Conclusion:
Interestingly enough, Killzone 3 manages to do an awfully spectacular job at proving just how mediocre Killzone 2 was, especially when put in direct comparison.
Killzone 3 is a fluid and fun single and multi-player shooter wrapped into a very high-quality, fully-powered console experience. It doesn’t do anything new for the genre, but it manages to do everything it should be doing with precision and style.
Guerrilla Games have done a fantastic job of polishing the good bits, fixing the bad bits and even adding in some new bits to create the Killzone experience that Playstation 3 fans always wanted.
Scoring:
Gameplay: 9.0
A solid shooter that manages to feel responsive and smooth while still maintaining the heavier feeling that made the franchise stick out in the first place.
Design and Presentation: 9.8
Breathtaking visuals, great sound and beautiful art design nails Killzone 3 down as one of those games that you will want to show-off to all of your friends when they come over to visit.
Value: 9.0
A short but highly enjoyable single player campaign. Those that have online connectivity are in for weeks and months of online mayhem. A fantastic package overall, just a shame about the lack of online co-op.
Overall: 9.5
If you have a Playstation 3 and like shooters, you should own Killzone 3, it’s as simple as that. Highly recommended.
