    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.

    This third title of Killzone series is much better than its predecessors to almost all aspects.

    amazing how the PS3 was able to run this game! it took everything from 2 and improved it like removing Blur and making the image sharper.


    Too stupid not to release for PC

    In an era marked by the excess of military fps, Killzone 3 has an average story, as just an excuse to play, but it can be played in 3D, it can be played in cooperative with a friend, it has great mechanics and sensational graphics.

    A good game with solid graphics and fun FPS gameplay. Good improvements over Killzone 2 for sure.

    I can't believe all these positive reviews for this slog of a game. People must just have some fond memories of the multiplayer with friends because the main single player game is mediocre, but with AAA graphics for the time.

    Gameplay is far less than Halo or even Call of Duty which I guess they were competing against. The mobility is so bad. Did they go for a WWI trench warfare type idea? 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

    But even Killzone 3 has some bad bits:

    - Sometimes textures just don't load while being behind cover.

    - Enemy Ragdolls freeze in positions

    - The Ending is a little bit meh

    If you like the second game, you will enjoy Killzone 3.    … Expand

    Killzone 3 is not as good as 2 even though it has a better story. However, its gameplay and multiplayer lacks the power that Killzone 2 had.

    Mercifully, this game's a hell of a lot better than the second. The music and graphics are as good as always, but this time the controls aren't laggy (and unlike the second game it has this insane new tech they made called 'aim assist' that makes the gunplay not awful :O ), it runs at more than 15fps for the majority of the game, and it has an actual story and characters (if you've playedMercifully, this game's a hell of a lot better than the second.

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.

    Un buen juego, la historia es buena, la banda sonora increíble, el gameplay igual que killzone 2, los entornos son de lo mejor, e incluye un modo a pantalla dividida, super recomendable a todos, más si tienes a alguien con quien jugar

    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

    They improved the camera and aim function but still feels junkie, improved story and dialogs with more gun variety

    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.

    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.
