Killzone 3 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Killzone 3 improves on Killzone 2 in a lot of ways. There are much better, varied environments. New "set piece" levels make the game feel much more interesting, including jet packing from one floating rig in a sea of glaciers to another, zipping down a mountain in a ice vehicle while blowing up Helghast, blowing things up in a mech, even space combat. All of this in addition to Killzone's normal gun play.

Unfortunately the story is still pretty lame. There's mysterious green energy that can blow people up in a gory blood bath and its going to be used on Earth to kill everyone at once.

The characters are still forgettable. The protagonist still gets little actual screen time to develop, whereas his partner, Rico, is still a jerk and the weakling Captain Narville never really redeems himself for being a "by the book" idiot who gets a bunch of people killed for not adapting to the situations at hand.

There's a lot of fun to be had but its not really a game I can see many playing repeatedly. If multiplayer is your thing, you'll find a lot of replay value in that, but unfortunately Killzone 3 is, for me, a one and done game.
