Killzone 3 is the fourth release overall in the PlayStation 3
exclusive first-person shooter franchise, and contains the first
integration of the PlayStation Move system into its gameplay. In it
players continue the fight by a futuristic special ops team against the
seemingly unstoppable Helghast Empire. Along the way players will learn
more than ever before about the rabid Helghan culture, as well as become
aware of an internal struggle in their ranks that may prove to be an
important weakness. The game features full Playstation Move system
integration throughout the game -- including the Move and Navigational
controllers. Additional features include: the ability to carry two
primary weapons, new melee and jet pack functionality and online
multiplayer support.
Continue the Fight Against the Helghast
Visari, the leader of the Helghast is gone, but the war is far from
over. Helghast forces have mounted a devastating counterattack,
prompting the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance) evacuation of
planet Helghan. As new Helghast battalions appear, armed with more
powerful weapons, ISA forces find themselves outmanned, outgunned and
surrounded. Players of
Killzone 3 will need to learn more about their enemy and use new tools to continue the fight.
PlayStation Move integration into
Killzone 3
is one of these new tools. Although the DualShock 3 controller is of
course supported, the two controllers of the PlayStation Move system
(Move and Navigational) are also usable at every stage of the game. Use
the Motion Controller as a site for your weapon and pointer that changes
your view of the horizon onscreen, while the Navigational controller
provides movement as well as auto-aiming functionality. The sensitivity
of the Move controller can be altered via the game's setting menu. With a
subtle gesture the Move Motion controller can also reload a weapon,
pick up items and ammo on the battlefield, as well as unleash a brutal
melee attack within close range of an enemy. Additional features of the
game as a whole include: the ability to carry two primary weapons in
addition to your piston and knife, jet pack functionality seen in
earlier games, fully destructible environments and online multiplayer
support.

PlayStation Move
PlayStation Move offers a new and innovative gaming experience for the
PlayStation 3 (PS3) system by fusing realistic, high-definition gaming
along with accurate, intuitive control. Consisting of PlayStation Move
motion controller, the PlayStation Eye camera and the optional
PlayStation Move Navigational controller, the PlayStation Move
controller system enables sophisticated motion control and immersive
gameplay only possible on PlayStation 3.
Camera Peripheral
The PlayStation Eye camera is an integral part of PlayStation Move
experience. The camera tracks the sphere of the Move motion controller
in your hands to accurately read your every move. Crouch behind cover,
or dodge an incoming attack - your movements will be accurately captured
in-game. The camera has a fast frame rate for pristine video quality.
It also has built-in microphones so that you can chat about strategies
with other players, give in-game commands, or set up a private
conversations with up to six friends.
Move Motion Controller
The cornerstone of the PlayStation Move system, the PlayStation Move
motion controller combines advanced motion sensors, a dynamic color
changing sphere, vibration feedback, and an easy-to-use button interface
to provide the ultimate in motion-based gaming. Equipped with a three
axis gyroscope, a three axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic
field sensor, the PlayStation Move motion controller registers your
precise movements by noting the angle of the controller in real-time and
in 3D space via a constant connection to the PlayStation Eye camera.
Highly sensitive movement tracking can be accurately traced back to the
game, allowing intuitive gameplay as if the player is within the game.
The PlayStation Move also features the familiar PlayStation controller
button orientation, for seamless play from the very first use.
Move Navigational Controller
The PlayStation Move Navigation controller is a supplementary
controller developed to further expand the experience that PlayStation
Move games can offer. It can be used in most PlayStation Move games that
require navigating an in-game character as it replicates the control
features of the left side of DualShock 3 or Sixaxis wireless controllers
into one's PlayStation Move experience. The PlayStation Move Navigation
controller adds an analog stick, directional buttons and two face
buttons into the PlayStation Move's control scheme. In addition, the
Move Navigation controller contains the L1 button, L2 button and L3
button for actions and commands common in advanced gaming.

Customer Reviews
By Jason Ralsky (Killzone 3: 3x the fun and 3x the experience)
I've been a big fan of Killzone since it came out on the PS2. With each
game the developer has taken slow but SOLID steps in creating a strong
FPS game that refuses to pull its punches. Each installment improves
upon the existing and Killzone 3 doesn't disappoint. The rumors of a
short campaign, blotchy storyline, etc are very overblown. Not only does
Killzone 3 deliver a solid, faster paced single player campaign than
the previous installment, but the Multi-Player is some of the most
addictive I've experienced.
GAMEPLAY - Single Player
If you
played Killzone 2, better yet... the KZ3 SP demo you know what to
expect. I actually found the controls of the final product smoother
than the demo. There was more response to the aiming and I even had to
turn down my sensitivity from what I had been playing the demo at. The
campaign of the game easily spans about 6-8 hours or did so for me,
which is far better than the 4-5 hrs some review sites were claiming.
They either rushed through the game or played it on Easy (which is no
fun, you feel like a god on Easy mode) Combat is fast yet smooth with
the enemy AI being quite smart in how it combats you. You can see there
was a very high polish put into the Helghast AI as they will
consistently take cover, blind fire and work to create flanking setups
on you. If you played through Killzone 2's campaign KZ3 has a similar
setup to how it progresses(cutscene, tons of combat/action, cutscene...
rinse and repeat) The gameplay gets changed up consistently. You can go
from ground n' pound style to suddenly on a tank turret back to ground
pounding then suddenly in a mech then flying a jetpack etc. There are
some rail shooter events (clearly designed for the MOVE controller
support) but they actually do a great job giving you a break from being a
foot soldier. Overall, the single player campaign has quite a lot to
offer with plenty of variety and embracing you in a true feeling of war.
Multiplayer
- Not my strong point but the MP is actually enjoyable. If you played
the KZ3 MP demo there isn't much that has changed other than new maps
and some small improvements. The MP setup is the best Killzone has
offered yet and might even give Call of Duty a run for its money on the
PS3. While the MP might not be for everyone it is definitely worth
checking out and has a lot of potential for some great competitive
matches.
STORY/SOUND
Killzone is pretty much the story of the
ISA and Helghast war. First Helghast invades the ISA, the ISA counter
and Killzone 3 picks up right where Killzone 2 ends. Don't expect an
award winning storyline here but it is present. Killzone 3 focuses this
time on the ISA efforts to escape as well as the internal workings of
the Helghast leaders. It provides more depth than the previous games
while not being to overly chatty. Killzone 3 does a better job
presenting the story than Killzone 2 did I feel, but it also brings to
light the storyline is very weak. However, story was never really
Killzone's main object. *** The Audio in KZ3 is fantastic. Guns sound
powerful, AI units and Helghast enemies sound very life like. Ambient
noise is incredible especially during firefights. You can tell they
worked really hard polishing this game so that the audio effects help
immerse you into the gameplay.
GRAPHICS
I don't even have to
say much here. The graphics look amazing. While they aren't jaw
dropping nor give you "awe factor" like sun sets and stuff; Killzone 3
uses its powerful graphic engine to give you a very realistic feel of
the battle. Snow, water, fire, gun shots.. it all looks amazing and
creates stunning environments. The only negative I could say about the
graphics is that when you go to a cut-scene the character textures don't
look nearly as good as the weapon and level textures. But, we all know
we're playing Killzone 3 for the in game action not looking at how bad
Sev needs a new haircut ^_^
REPLAY/LENGTH
As said earlier, for
me the SP campaign on NORMAL clocked in at 6-8 hrs give or take. The
campaign was a ton of fun and just like Killzone 2 I could see myself
playing through it quite a few times to try for some trophies, or just
to own some Helghast. What truely boosts the length and replay-ability
of this game is the MP. I wasn't fond of KZ2's multiplayer so while KZ2
had lots of SP replay for me, it did lack that MP edge. KZ3 however
comes to the table with all cylinders firing. While SP is def worth
replaying, the MP is what is worth keeping this game within arms reach
at all times. Even if you are not competitive(casual like me), the MP
is fun with plenty of features to keep you occupied for some time.
OVERALL (91% 9.1/A-)
Killzone
3 didn't disappoint. It has been a long wait and well worth it. The MP
is better than expected and the SP-campaign exceeded my expectations. I
would give this game overall a 91% (9.1/10). The game fired on all
cylinders and what small negatives I encountered were far from game
breaking. The only real gripes I would take I found in the SP-campaign.
1.
The ISA voice acting wasn't really that good. There was no sense of
urgency in their voices and it just felt like they were reading lines
(except for Rico, Sev and Jammer they had some great voice acting, as
did the Helghast)
2. Sometimes the Objective marker would simply bug
out. When I would try to tag where I had to go nothing would appear and
my objectives menu would be empty (but I clearly had to destroy 2 more
tanks or set a door charge somewhere). Minor annoyance
3. Melee
damaged doors to open them oddly, I would Melee the door and about a
second later it would explode. Weird lag, only was happening on the
interactive doors you could break.
Outside of those 3 issues the
game was pretty much a fantastic FPS that well warrants a 91% score. It
delivers a solid SP campaign experience and outstanding MP setup. A MUST
BUY for any FPS fan
** v1.03 was released 2/24/2011 this version has fixed Issue 2 and Issue 3 on my end **
The single player mode is short but oh how sweet it is! Fantastic
looking environments, constant action, and melee kills that make you
feel like a badass!
The multiplayer mode has amazing maps, and
several different classes to choose from. This is so different from
games like COD because you can actually choose how you want to play the
game. Do you want to infiltrate the other team and trick them into
believing you are one of them? Or is healing people more your style?
Well you can do either, plus much more!
Also, if you have slow
internet or just don't like playing online, it also has a botzone mode,
which is essentially an offline multiplayer where you compete with AI
Bots. This mode is a great way to explore maps and decide which class is
your favorite! Buy this game! You won't regret it!
Matching the enormous expectations that people had for Killzone 2 a few
years back was a very tall order, but Guerrilla games managed to pull it
off. With Killzone 3 Guerrilla does it again making everything look
larger in scope.
The graphics are top notch and top what was done
in the second game, incredible in itself considering K2 was one of the
best looking games in the market. One thing is for sure- you won't find a
better looking FPS out there. And yes, Crysis 2 is pretty but the level
of detail on K3 just takes the game to a completely different level.
Control
is spot on with both a dual shock and Move. I was pleasantly surprised
about the latter. I didn't think I was able to pull accurate shots as
easily but I was wrong. Move implementation makes playing the game
excellent.
Multiplayer has seen an evolution from K2 that makes
the challenge even more entertaining. The skill ladder allows for
newcomers to rank up right away, while allowing experienced players to
have further rewards for the time they put into it.
The story has
received some criticism, but those comments are misleading. The reality
is that the story in K3 is just as good as K2's. What it means is that
it is far better than most of the FPS's out there but not as dramatic as
an Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain. Of course, those two games are very tall
orders to beat. Killzone 3's story is good and even more compelling than
K2's as it was a great idea to focus on what happened after the events
of the latter with a small ISA force stranded in Helhgan and going from
bad to worse. The acting is good and even Rico is more appealing this
time around.
The only complaint about the game, and a minor one
at that, is how most of the "heft" that your character had in K2 has
been removed to appeal to those used to the loose controls of the likes
of Call of Duty or Halo. I prefer the K2 controls as not only they made
the character feel more realistic but also allowed for more accurate
shooting in motion.
Killzone 3 is a MUST HAVE game for every PS3 owner and even for action/FPS game enthusiasts out there.
