"Surprisingly good"

Killzone 3 is a game that packs a punch. Solid game with great potential with faults on the story which is too simple and cliche. The game focuses on the characters from Killzone 2 which are the protagonist, Sevchenko aka Sev and the infamous Rico Velasquez. It follows them to face hordes of the helghast and presenting the new Helghast leaders such as Weapon´s manufacturer and Commander Jordan Stahl and Visari´s successor Autarch Admiral Orlock along with the rest of the Helghan command cabinet. Sev and Rico are led by Captain Narville which is the highest ranking officer in charge of the straying ISA forces on the planet. During the story you see, conflict on the same side, treachery and betrayal.

I also recommend the coop with a mate. It adds quality to the campaign and adds Natko as a teammate which your mate will use in coop. Only problem with coop is that it lacks online playability which is a big minus for the game.

The solid multiplayer attempts to improve on the past title and succeeds in many different roles but falters in others. Changing the interface greatly, and giving more options of weapons with a new unlock system are great changes. The new Operations game mode provides the best performing players of that game a cutscene after each objective is completed and at the beginning of the game. Warzone is still classic 7 round multiplayer game mode with immerse gameplay in battle and objective based combat. Guerrilla Warfare was added in as a basic deathmatch mode for gamers who sometimes feel like just getting there and shooting some heads off without worrying about any other objective.

Over all, I recommend the game to shooter fans and PS3 gamers as its a full package of a game that will not bore you to death. An overall quality game and a great game to enjoy in 2011 with great visuals. Simply do not come expecting a mindblowing and deep story because if so, then you will be disappointed. Its an action packed campaign with amazing visuals that will keep you on the edge of your seat. That I can assure you.
