Amazon.com Product Description

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.

Key Game Features

Epic single player campaign with a gripping storyline and intense action
Battle your way through huge, diverse environments from alien jungles to harsh arctic vistas shown in incredible graphic detail
Face off against new, relentless Helghast enemies armed with more powerful weapons and abilities
Full 3D compatibility takes immersion to new heights, delivering a "boots-on-the-ground" experience like no other
Award-winning multiplayer mode returns, with added game modes, new vehicle gameplay, brutal close combat system, more powerful weapons, and a more accessible experience

Killzone 3: 3x the fun and 3x the experience
By Jason Ralsky
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 Good, the Bad and the Helghast ...
By Sloopydrew
I have now finished the single-player campaign and spent over 10 hours playing online multiplayer

(all modes). I played through the campaign using the Move controller. I played through part of

the campaign again using the standard controller. I played through the entire campaign in 3D and

through part of it in 2D, to compare.

So I've pretty much blown every whistle and rung every bell Sony's including with this game

(the only thing I haven't tried is the offline co-op). Here's what I thought of the entire thing:

The Good:

Online Multiplayer. It's incredibly fun. Using the Move controller gives you better accuracy, which usually

lands me in first or second place. It almost feels like cheating, but this is the direction Sony took.

Single player campaign. Ignore the bitter critics who are crying because they didn't get a chance

to play it in 3D or they're rendered incapable of praising any FPS that doesn't star Master Chief or

have someone Calling for Duty. This is in the top 10 best FPS titles ever made. Its set-pieces are similar

to early Lucas or Spielberg movies in how EPIC they are. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark or any of

the first 3 Star Wars' films. It's a really well put together game with more jaw-dropping moments than

the last 3 Halos combined.

The Move Controls. They work better than you could imagine. They work better than the dualshock

itself. It's the closest you're going to come to the keyboard/mouse experience on a console, without

literally using a keyboard and mouse on a console. Very accurate. Very fun to play.

The graphics. Pure awesomeness. Thought Killzone 2 looked good? This one looks better.

The Bad:

As much as I loved it, the campaign is way too short (7 hours to finish on medium difficulty) and may

be just a little too disjointed. There were a few times where they went overboard making scenes that

would stand out in 3D and leave 2D gamers scratching their heads. If the single-player campaign ran

10-20 hours, I would have given Killzone 3 a 5 out of 5. I'm sure they'll have more of the game to

sell us later (there's a "6 months later" moment that feels created for DLC).

Lack of maps. I'm not sure how many maps the game comes with, but with 10+ hours of play time,

I haven't seen more than 6 or 7. Not to mention, everyone memorizes one map and then keeps

voting to play it over and over again, which is really annoying. Again, I'm sure they'll have plenty

more maps to sell us later as DLC. Am I the only one noticing that to get a "full" game, you have

to shell out around $120? Seems like sort of a scam.

The Ugly ... er ... "Helghast":

The 3D. The 3D worked well enough. Some parts were worthy of pure amazement. One section

had me screaming out to my girlfriend, "Now THIS is what 3D gaming's about!" Then I felt like

a geek. A geek wearing $100 3D glasses. Thinking back on it, it's hard to believe she's stayed

with me this long.

The problem with the 3D is the nonstop crosstalk (it's worse in darker areas and cutscenes).

If you're not all that familiar with 3D, crosstalk basically looks like you're having double

(or even triple) vision. This can be pretty problematic when you're staring at three crosshairs,

when there's only supposed to be one. I just kept the, "hit the one in the middle" line from Rocky

IV in mind. It's the worst crosstalk I've seen in a game or in a movie. Which sucks, because,

had it not been wrecked by the crosstalk, it would have easily been the best 3D ever put into a game.

That said, if you have the chance, I'd recommend playing in 3D. At least a few of the scenes

(feel free to ask me in the comments, which parts work best in 3D -- I don't want to give away

spoilers in this review). But for all the 3D hype, the game looks and plays just fine in 2D. I

wouldn't invest in that 3DTV just yet -- at least not if you're doing so just for this game.

On the other hand, I'd definitely invest in this game. If you're a fan of shooters; you won't be

disappointed!

Great Single Player Even Better Multiplayer!
By Zachary Green
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!
