If there weren’t something a little bit different about Killzone 3, I would probably write the game off as a fairly run-of-the-mill first-person shooter. The campaign is a bit of a run-and-gun experience, only a few hours long – maybe five or six inclu...

It's a competent shooter with some decent moments; the bullet impacts are extremely satisfying; the jet pack level stands out as one of the better moments in recent FPS history.
Features a laundry list of regressive design ideas; the ending is completely and utterly bungled; never really does anything to make you sit up and take notice there are thrilling moments, but nothing truly inspiring. As is often the case with games reviewed before release, I didn't get to fully test out the multiplayer before writing my review. I did take into consideration the fact that it exi...
