This is supposedly the first review of the game in the world and it comes from the polish mag CD-Action. Overall it got a 9/10.

Gameplay 9/10

Video, so presentation, graphics and such 10/10

Sound 8/10

+one of the best looking games out there. Its worth noting that CD-Action is mainly a PC games magazine so this statement says alot I think.

+The game is hard

+playing with move and the sharp shooter shell thing

-shallow characters, game deserves more

-little bugs

The game is said to outclass everything else on current gen consoles in terms of graphics. The locales are varied and all very detailed. The enemies are also a joy to behold. The reviewer goes as far as to claim that its almost like an interactive piece of artwork. The pacing of the game has been improved over K2. The game is hard from begining to end, even on the normal setting. Coop is mentioned, but not really elaborated upon. You can play the campaign in coop thats for certain. The multiplayer tested only with bots (the games not out so there was no way to play with people) seems much improved and as interesting as it was in K2. The sound in the game is fine but still does not compare to something like Bad Company 2.

im not really into FPSs but this series is slowly beginning to intrigue me. How does the online multiplayer stack up against others? Is it fun/balanced etc?

The hate is strong in this thread but Killzone 3 will most likely be the 2nd AAAE PS3 title next month for 2011. I'm looking forward to this game as Killzone 2 is my favorite "traditional" FPS game so far this generation. Hopefully the weighted controls aren't completely gone.

Those negatives sound like pretty much the same exact ones from Killzone 2.

No link? You were saying? It sold like **** barely hit one million. PC exclusives with no marketing are better sellers than this.

I never played the multiplayer - I actually only played Killzone 2 once through. I'm not a big fan or corridor and linear shooters, but it is a pretty fun game.

its more fun then answering peoples questions :P Well.. i dont know how to describe it.. Apparently there were rocket launcher abusers in kz2 but i never came across that so dunno... but the multiplayer is pretty good class based shooter with cool abilities and maps. Barely any lag as well. Only problem i had was the lag delay in the controls but that seems to be fixed for kz3 so i cant see having any problems with this upcoming game.

LMAO are there still people around here that think 'Killzone' means 'like the one on PS2'? Whatever, I loved KZ2 to bits and I'm sure I'll love this one too.

Console games don't just sell months and months ahead. They make a boom the first week, month, then they fade away. Can you? It's a ***** seller, it had a what 40 million dollar budget, it's the biggest flop I've ever seen.

We all know products cease to sell as soon as a story is printed about it 2 years ago?

How about you simply accept you made as baseless a claim as the one you responded to?

Generalizations are so much fun! At least this year "Rabbid PS3 fanboys" have an option to buy exclusives if they want. The other 2 console have next to nothing to look forward to exclusive wise, especially during the first 9 months of this year.

Anyway, I'm kind of disappointed the story got an 8/10 from this review. From the last story trailer it seemed Guerilla was going to make put forht a top notch story

Does it matter?

I don't own a PS3 but it getting a good exclusive is good for them. Does it really matter? Good news comes out about a game and 90% of you just argue about it immediately. Shouldn't you be hoping its awesome? Why do so many of you want it to be bad just to piss of the PS3 guys? Grow up.

Hope this review is a solid legit representation.

Three million? Proof? No one plays KZ2 online. NO ONE.

Are you aware what is shows what you know about a game when you argue about sells? Absolutely Nothing.

Halo has been hated for such a long time it's bound to get bad user reviews......Personally i think Reach is very Underrated. ODST was an expansion that was overpriced by Microsoft. (way better campaign than Reach or KZ.) Let's not add Halo 2, CE, 3 into the mix hey?

How many people play Killzone 2 these days? 400? Its been a graveyard forever so I wouldnt side with the users who left the game out to dry for CoD.

as a whole franchise, halo is far superior to killzone. in individual games? while that is a closer fight, halo probably still wins.
