    Exactly the same criticisms of Killzones 1 and 2 can be levelled at 3, but the graphics are even better, the movement is slicker and the aiming more precise and satisfying. It still feels a little old fashioned, but not in a bad way.

    KILLZONE 3 is an awesome, action packed game and it’s on par will KILLZONE 2. Graphics are even better than the previous too and is very impressive for PS3 hardware.

    Killzone 3 was a step-up from KZ2 in terms of weaponry and variety of maps and locations, but didn't bring the same impact KZ2 had in my opinion.

That is terrible for a video game. You just go through trenches in bad brown-grey stages. Vey stale space Nazi bad guys that don't make sense. Meathead main characters. It is not very satisfying killing enemies. Sometimes a headshot just removes their helmet. Sometimes you think they are dead on the ground, but they just get back up. The AI for your teammates is just garbage. They are not effective at all in a fire fight.    … Expand

Unfortunately, the campaign's still only about 5-6 hours, but in that time, you have a lot more interesting scenarios that you're thrown into; far more setpieces and toys to play with that really mix up the gameplay, including a good number of vehicle sections which are mostly all fun, except for the EXO suit, which makes the screen shake so much I got motion-sickness for the first time in any video game (including VR). Seriously, it's okay to take a break if you feel nauseated in that section because you probably will. I, without exaggeration, almost lost my lunch. Unfortunately, the cover system is still just as horrid. It seems to make you stick to it from farther as well which means it's much harder to do what you should be doing, which is avoiding it altogether. This game also insanely exacerbated how often you get insta-killed. You have practically no health whatsoever after the first half of the game, even on normal, so prepare to get one-shotted A LOT, it made many of the sections that should have been more fun (like the jetpack section where fun fact: your gun actually heals enemies rather than kills them) a complete chore. Is it a great game? God no, but at least it's competent, and at this point, I'm just happy we didn't get another Killzone 2.… Expand

    KZ3 is a worthy successor to KZ2. The single player campaign is somewhat short but it is solid. Online game play is a definite improvement over KZ2. Introduction of ecto skeleton and jet packs makes the online game play more fun. It was good decision on Gorilla games to introduce fixed re spawn points on the maps. This decision makes the game play more balanced compared to KZ2. Good game overall.

    The gameplay is fast, the game is gorgeous (a recurring theme with Guerrilla since KZ2), and the story actually has a meaning this time. The characters still are pretty bad.

    Most importantly: the helghasts are still intimidating and good looking. and the MAWLR boss battle is also really fking metal. I dunno why we still haven't got to take control of one of those things in a remake.

    I normally don't like exclusives at all, but Killzone is an exception, I also liked Uncharted, but definitely nowhere near a d*ckriding level, more of a Tomb Raider guy.
    The first I remember was kinda dark, also brutal? The 2nd one was I guess ok, but the 3rd was great again, haven't played Shadowfall, even though it's like 6-5 years old now? Weapons are almost identical to KZ2,    8/10

    Killzone 3 aprendió de los errores de la anterior entrega e introdujo nuevas mecánicas, mejores gráficos y mejoró el apartado online. La ambientación en el universo Killzone y la trama siguen siendo buenas, pero a mi parecer la inclusión a la fuerza de Playstation Move me parece un error y se nota que se introdujo con calzador. Aún así recomiendo jugarlo.

    With the third instalment in the series, Guerilla games went bigger and grander, but not necessarily better. Killzone 3 ends up feeling like an extended campaign of the second game. The player won't be able to shake the feeling that this is just a little less memorable than the previous title.

    Killzone 3 is the final game in guerrilla's kill zone trilogy and what a trilogy of ups and downs. if half life created the cinematic fps killzone perfected it. its a love letter to cinematic game play and thats what makes this series stand out.

    story/characters: after the events of killzone 2 , your character Sev among others are stranded on helgan and everything seems desperate ,    Killzone 3 is the final game in guerrilla's kill zone trilogy and what a trilogy of ups and downs. if half life created the cinematic fps killzone perfected it. its a love letter to cinematic game play and thats what makes this series stand out.

    story/characters: after the events of killzone 2 , your character Sev among others are stranded on helgan and everything seems desperate , the isa is pulling out and you are ordered to surrender to be negotiated for as pow. you refuse as helgan pow's are tortured and brutalized and instead try to find another way off-world leading to an outcome of violence and destruction no one wanted. the story was a roller coaster from start to Finnish and really REALLY had potential but most of the characters fell to flat to care and in ricos case thats really not good hes had 3 games worth to develop and hes still a gung-ho trigger happy heavy even if the plot flowed well with the world building the characters feel static even after 3 games . actually id say the first game did the best in characterization
    story/ characters 7.5/10

    World building: in the first 2 games helgan felt like the nazis. in the 3rd game they felt a little scarier. after their Hitler is killed they fell more like a man who's got nothing left to lose and sole purpose in life us the kill everyone witch is why i think the entire planet of helgan is more interesting than any of the main characters. they up their tech and fire power and prepare for a second nuclear attack on vectah. my problem with this though is that almost all the world building is to do with helgan witch limits the scope of the world. Overall the world is still great and adds enough to it but im a little disappointed they didn't add more
    world building: 7/10

    graphics: killzone 1 and 2 have a huge jump in graphics and that is mostly due to the different generation of consoles but from 2-3 it feels like it could be the same game just continued. that being said the graphics look great and i think killzone 2 was ahead of its time and this looks great the ps3 is pushed to its limits animations are weighty and slick and explosions are cool and its injected with a healthy dose of neon
    graphics: 8/10

    gameplay: cinematic game play at its finest , this game was a joy to play it controls really well and it is much more responsive than killzone 2 and little game play ticks were ironed out. still the best cover mechanic out there and it dose it without taking you out of the first person view like most other games would. guns feel a little more accurate making head shots easier to pull off but still its more strategic to aim for center mass like in number 2. the executions look cool and adds a level of depth to gameplay but the animations arnt as polished as the rest of the game. Still its a more refined and polished experience versus number 2 and thats a good thing
    gameplay 9/10

    sound design: the music is reminiscent of starwars. being a similar world to starwars this is a good choice. orchestral battle music evocative of grand space operas its makes a perfect fit here but mix it with some industrial sounds to set it apart. the voice acting is as good as killzone 2 witch at times felt a little awkward but that could be the character writing/ script. sounds effects are great every one of them dose what it needs to do and dose it well, there was no sounds i actively avoided.
    sound design 8/10

    7.5+7+8+9+8=39.5

    39.5/5 = 7.9

    killzone 3 is good , there is no denying that but i still cant help but feel a little disappointed by the game.    … Expand

Where does this one rank? Definitely in between, and much closer to the second that the first. There's a lot this game does that is by far the best in the series. For one, the stealth aspects are quite astounding for a FPS; only in games that blend first and third person playstyles do I really see good cover-shooting like Quantum of Solace but this game truly impressed me in that regard. Another element is set design, or level design, which is quite beautiful. We finally see parts of the Helghan world that seem quite alien, which makes sense and should have been parts of the first two as well. With 350 years of human evolution on two separate planets, it's easy to see how the humans and the Helghan-evolved humans would be different and this entry finally explores that. The gameplay pretty much felt exactly like Killzone 2, which I loved, while adding some new weapons and tech to help vary the gameplay here and there. Those things also impressed me but all of those can really be summed up with the word "style," the best part of the game. The "substance" was lacking and I kept thinking to myself that if Killzone 2 was The Hurt Locker, then Killzone 3 is 13 Hours. It's the Michael Bay version of a Killzone game, and the best possible Michael Bay work at that but still, it felt shiny and full of explosions, using the very basic war trope of soldiers wanting to be soldiers yet their superior refusing to allow them. And the villain...could the Nazi references be any more on-the-nose? Like, I appreciate historical references but this game straight up beat that horse to death. Social commentary's power hinges upon the subtlety of delivery, and this delivery was not subtle which made the game a tad preachy and predictable. That might be slightly overanalytical, so I'll get back on track. Great game, a lot of fun. It's easily the most challenging game in the series for me so far but it's also a lot of fun, providing missions that all feel unique and fresh, never getting repetitive and always keeping me on my toes. Definitely recommend, and I'm hoping that Shadow Fall will be good so that Killzone has a proper trilogy.… Expand

    Unfortunately, all that was done was turning a great exclusive to a call of duty clone.
    Killzone 2 comparisons aside, this isn’t a bad game…
    The characters are interesting, the levels are varied.. you can play through the campaign with a 2nd player…
    But the story creates no urgency in the way killzone 2 did, turning this into a mindless 5 hour campaign of just shoot the bad guys with the same boring weapons in every other game…
    I will give them credit.. they do mix the campaign up quite a bit,
    Youll be in the snowy mountains with jet packs, youll be taking down giant mecs, stealthing your way through a jungle…
    but the story and levels never feel connected…
    making the game ultimately feel all over the place in a bad way..
    And the multiplayer is surprisingly still fairly alive at certain times of day,
    so there is some opportunity to have some multiplayer fun with the different classes killzone 2 introduced..
    Being able to strategically support your team and level your classes up
    but to bring the comparisons back in..
    The magic has been lost.. the multiplayer maps are garbage in comparison to killzone 2…
    I did have fun, but these maps have got to be the weakest ive ever seen in an online shooter..
    Theres not much else to say about killzone 3…
    It’s become a generic shooter, with an ironically predictable story that accomplishes nothing…
    And a unique multiplayer crippled by a lack of any true creativity.

    - great animations when reloading, running etc feels like a person with its heavy but agile feel.
    - challenging and smart A.I
    - great cast of characters.

    Cons:
    - cant throw back enemy grenades (like COD) would've of been useful
    - cover system while good, you can't run into cover, you have to go next to it, then crouch. You can't crouch into it. Needs a tune up, if it's more like Far cry 3 were its free flowing then that would be great.

    Side note:
    - to keep up with competitors it needs to add survival co op modes, that support split screen to add the value to this game. That supports both offline and online like COD.    … Expand

    This is purely my personal opinion. Killzone 3 is a fantastic game which i do believe to be better than Call of Duty, especially for single-player. The controls aren't too hard too pick up, the graphics are just stunning and the story is great. I am glad i got this when it was released, Killzone is probably my favourite franchise.

    The game controls a lot better than its predecessor while still keeping the feeling that your weapons have weight. The level design is also a bit better and i used the cover mechanic quite a bit while i don't remember using it at all in Killzone 2. Visually the game still looks great and holds up pretty well even after having seen Killzone: Shadowfall.

    Enemies in Killzone are pretty tanky: it takes around 10 body shoots to kill. It might make sense because of the armor enemies are wearing, but it makes shooting sloppy, as you don't have a sense that you shots are hitting. Covers continue to be useless as is in all Killzone games: enemies hit you with pinpoint accuracy despite you being in cover. Although you could do the same thing to enemies hiding behind cover but what's the point of making a cover system if it does not work?
    I feel like the weapons in Killzone isn't realistic; although its the 24th century and battle cruisers warp around the galaxy, soldiers are still using physical bullet rifles with red dot sights or just iron sights. Cmon we need futuristic guns! Especially when the environment is so futuristic and amazing!
    Even with these issues however Killzone 3 still gets a 7 with its vibrant world, awesome graphics and alright level design.    … Expand

    Killzone 3 is a great Playstation 3 game. It offers a different twist on the fps genre. An engrossing singleplayer campaign and a fun and fluid, although sometimes slow and difficult multiplayer make Killzone 3 the ultimate package.

    Killzone 3 fails to deliver the fun and excitement that killzone 2 delivered. The story is very short and forgettable with no connection between the characters.

The classes aren't really used tactically considering most people pick class with trip mine or infiltrator. The infiltrator ability allows him to have a friendly icon over his head all the way up till he is about 3 feet from you, but by then its too late. So most of my multiplayer experience was mostly running into trip mines, getting killed by infiltrators, and instant deaths from the overpowered guns.

Another issues was the first one I thought actually looked better than this one, especially the beginning of the second one with all that detail in the city, and destruction this one i felt didn't have near the impressive shock "2" had on me. I enjoyed the more corridor closer small space a fighting. The gameplay was pretty much the same through out and didn't over many changed, but like in uncharted 2 and 3 it is easy to compare killzone 3 with its predecessor, but killzone 2 was the first game by guerrilla on ps3 so it should have been there uncharted and killzone 3 should have been their uncharted 2, but unfortunately it fell a little flat. It was neat the implimentation of a huge boss, but the marketing completely spoiled it for anyone looking forward to the release, and so I felt all of the surprises was already out of the bag, That would have been awesome had I not already know about that part and then was like what I have to fight this mauler@!@!@$#$. Anyways, it was a good game, the implementation of the coop deserves props, as well as 3D and move support but it should have been better, and another aspect that I thought would have really been fixed by this one was the screen-prompt animations, which were still twitchy. Press "o" to hit a elevator button or pick up ammo and you character and camera twitches in the fixed position it needs to be in. I don't remember other games having this problem, when I think of Crysis, Call of Duty, can't think of more FPS, however now that I remember the exact same problem happens with some God of War animations where you get near a minotar for example and it turns a 360 and you put your blade in its mouth.

    To be perfectly fair, I'm new to the whole Killzone series. I've heard all the usual hype about it, and was finally intrigued after seeing some gameplay commentary via YouTube. "Why not?" I asked, and dove right in.

    The consensus is one of underwhelming. I didn't play with the fancy-pants features like PlayStation Move nor 3D blubbery, not that I'd ever want to - I doubt either    To be perfectly fair, I'm new to the whole Killzone series. I've heard all the usual hype about it, and was finally intrigued after seeing some gameplay commentary via YouTube. "Why not?" I asked, and dove right in.

    The consensus is one of underwhelming. I didn't play with the fancy-pants features like PlayStation Move nor 3D blubbery, not that I'd ever want to - I doubt either feature would give me any sort of "enhanced gaming experience," as advertised, because when it comes down to it, the core gameplay and plot of the game should be the bit delivering an "enhanced gaming experience," not gimmicks. Killzone 3 drops you in the middle of an ongoing conflict between the ISA and brutal Helghast regime. And it begins with a direct defiance of orders within the military ranks. Your hotheaded buddy-pal gets the bright idea to cap some high ranking Helghast official, and while this is apparently a very serious action to have taken - a very bad action, at that - he gets little more than a stern talking to and an angry finger wagged in his face.

    This direct defiance of orders seems to be some sort of theme between the main duo involved in Killzone 3, leading to the worst organized military endeavour in the history of organized military. Your characters seem to do everything within their power to disobey their superiors, wandering around and causing unnecessary damage and risking the lives of tonnes of other soldiers. Granted, your characters are trying to do good - but after constantly spending the game neglecting their leaders, you'd wonder how they manage to get anything done. The plot carries out in a very fast paced manner, and while you don't need to be invested in the series to understand the goings-on, you might be left behind if you don't pay attention at least when the people talk. Fortunately, the plot is as thick as it needs to be, and this "without-crust" tale of gritty space-war adventures isn't too deep. The graphics are simply stunning, that is to be true. Everything is so vivid and powerful. Even though half of the game is spent in blown out city-centres of the Helghast stronghold, there is a strong sense of immersion. The blizzard levels in particular make you feel wrapped up in a snowstorm, making the firefights ever more intense. Sound is also of high quality, but these days - especially for games such as this, with enormously large budgets - that's no flashy feat. In the end, however, Killzone 3 isn't much to boast about. It's pretty, and the story is enough to perk an ear or two. But unless you're a huge fan of the Killzone series, you're not missing out on much. In the end, it's another tail of über-patriotic democracy-loving space marines trying to stomp out the threats of totalitarian dictatorships. Nothing you haven't seen before in dozens of other FPS games.    … Expand

    I have finished killzone 2, and Killzone 3 disappointed me. The game feels like it is half done. Some of the cutscenes are not connecting. The game feels a little too short. I really like Killzone 2, but Killzone 3 just gave me a very normal experience, nothing is good. I would prefer Killzone 2 over Killzone 3, anytime. They did fix the laggy problem in Killzone 3 though.

    My copy freezes up, reliably, about 2/3 of the way through the single player campaign, with no scratches evident. Sadly, a quick Internet search reveals that freezes are a very common problem, in the campaign and online multiplayer.

    Why is it that most (or all) Blu-ray ps3 games don't let me (optionally) write game data to my hard drive? Still require the disc to be inserted to play (of course), but then I get faster load times; I find out at install if there's data corruption (instead of finding out after my return period is over); my ps3 runs quieter and cooler. Sony, I would really appreciate this feature.

    Decent game, but my score is prorated to the fraction of it that I can actually play.    … Expand

    I don't think the PlayStation 3 has ever had quite such a rounded, satisfactory package as this, with this level of polish, refinement and pure, simple, unpretentious action. This really good firstperson shooter game. Online game, gameplay, visuals and graphics are amazing. But the story aint so good.

    I wish it were a longer campaign, because this was a thrill ride from start to finish, the guns just feel great to shoot.. oh, and don't let the back of the box fool you, it IS co-op campaign offline.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never even having heard of the series, I bought Killzone 2 and 3 after getting my PS3 and I must say I had a blast. I played them in chronological order, but I will review 3 here. When compared to its predecessor, Killzone 3 improves upon several aspects, most notably (to me) the controls: They seem much smoother and thus provide a more immersive battle feeling. The sound effects and voices are great for the most part; dialog is a little cheesy, but it's not overdone. The game continues the visual style of the series, artfully combining SciFi and World War 1 elements (trench warfare anyone?) into a nifty package. The enemy Helghast are reasonably evil and pretty OK AI-wise (although I found myself wondering how they could not spot me cowering in the knee-high vegetation that's right in front of them). Killzone 3's single player campaign is enjoyable and incorporates different surroundings and game mechanics, all of them implemented nicely. While not being much of an online gamer, I enjoyed a lot of good online matches, really liked the different modes they built (especially "Operations"). But to me, the best thing about the game is the couch co op support: You can play the entire campaign with a friend at your place and it's a lot of fun. The developers made it even better in the latest patch by giving people with 3d screens the ability to 2d co op fullscreen (both players see their own 2d fullscreen first person view on the same TV). I am rating the game 10/10 because it really felt to me like it is exactly what the PS3 was designed for: Great visuals, great controls, a not very deep but cool story that is presented as a cinematic experience, great co op and very good online multiplayer.… Expand

    I just don't understand this game at all, it's pretty, but the campaign is just a rails shooter with... a horrendous storyline. All of the action seems to happen during the cutscenes. Online multiplayer was boring to me, close quarters shooting... maybe I missed something. The graphics are nice enough.

    This is one of the best FPS games out there. I gave it a 10 because of the amazing graphics, animations, music and sound effect. I never had problems with any glitches I kept hearing about, so I recommend this game to anybody that's interested in FPS games.

    Killzone 3 is the best-looking console game, full stop.
    The graphics are simply fantastic, and the gameplay is fun too.
    The campaign may not be very long, but is incredibly fun and action-packed.
    A must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall an improvement from Killzone 2, however someone might want to tell Guerrilla Games how narrative works.The whole beginning part is like a flash forward, but when you get the that part of the game you, the player, do something entirely different and get the same result. So, what, the whole intro part was not canon or what? Anyways, this game is pretty good, it fixed most of the problems Killzone 2 had in terms of gameplay and mixed up the environments a good deal. My other complaint with this game is that you never really get to fight the two big baddies the story centers around. And the last level, while maybe being fun with PlaystationMove, was pretty unspectacular with a controller.… Expand

    Is Killzone 3 deep enough to snipe PSN players from the COD: Black Ops fold? Probably not. Is Killzone 3 outstanding enough to warrant single-player awards for its narrative? Nope. But let there be no doubt that when it comes to intense gameplay that gives not one spare second for players to catch their breath or laze their way into a routine, Killzone 3 is near the top of the pack. The fact that it's the best-looking game we've seen and happens to support full stereoscopic 3D is just icing on the cake.

    Although the third part of the entire Killzone series is the weakest one it is still a very above-average piece of entertainment every PS3 owner should have this in their collection. [Mar 2011]

    Killzone 3 is ultimately a flawed yet stunning experience. It gets the production values and the intensity just right. If it lacks anything, it would be a bit of character but fans will find it absolutely thrilling while it lasts.
