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.

For ps3 game i beat 14 years ago and beat again. Its still a lot of of fun. Guns and combat are still pretty crisp.

Amazing game, very recommended, nice story and gameplay. Is incredible how Guerilla create a whole world full of magic. The atmosphere is magic, I enjoyed from beginning to end. Masterpiece

Best one in the series and extremely fun to do on the PS move if you have the gun. The combat, characters, levels, and swampy/grungy feeling of the combat is even better in this installment. It takes place at the very end of Killzone 2 and continues it seamlessly. On top of that, the game has some of the best weapon designs and variety in the series. it's all out combat from start to finish and doesn't let up or get tedious at all. The plot, starting area, and ending area all make sense and the devs don't leave lore gaps. I can't tell you how big of an influence this was in my child hood. Me and the boys would play this every weekend on and off for years, to this day I play this game at least once a year. If I could rate this game a 11/10, I would, absolute powerhouse ****.

As good as Killzone 2 was, Killzone 3 tops it in every respect. The excellent PlayStation Move controls and stereoscopic 3D support certainly don't hurt either. So if you're looking for an intense and polished sci-fi first person shooter for the PlayStation 3, then Killzone 3 is obviously your game.

Certainly the best shooter we've seen on the PlayStation 3 platform. In addition to its great story, perfectly-paced gameplay, and stunning visuals, Killzone 3 has a certain charm to it that can't be denied (despite its at-time apocalyptic visuals.)

Killzone 3 might miss an abundance of multiplayes modes and the singleplayer isn't perfect. But that shouldn't stop you from buying this game. As an experience Killzone 3 waltzes over pretty much all of its competition of the same genre. Guerrilla knows what makes Killzone different from other shooters and combines those elements with some refinements in its controls, variation and style, which makes Killzone 3 into what it always should have been.

In theory, Killzone 3 has all the tools to be a great shooter, but its "ho-hum" story and broken pacing teeter the momentum, failing to complete an otherwise solid product.

Killzone 3 shows a great variety, both on the environments side and the gameplay side, while respecting of course the DNA of the series. The single player campaign is more pleasant than in Killzone 2, and the multiplayer is really solid. As expected, Guerilla offers us a very good shooter, which stands out as a landmark of its kind on PlayStation 3.

It's precise, practical, ticks boxes and has been too quick to shed its defining credentials; credentials that made the earlier games a must buy for any enthusiast. Killzone 3 feels generic, rushed and greatly unloved by its creators. A huge, huge disappointment.

La historia no me llamo mucho la atención, es mas, casi ni le preste atención a la historia, pero me encantaron las mecánicas. Si te gustaría disfrutar un shooter sin importar la historia, este es un juego perfecto

играли в коопе и разнообразия было так много, будто я играю в современный split fiction. Очень часто жонглируют ситуациями. Но графику к сожалению уже не вывозит даже апскейл ТВ.

Sinceramente, em questão de gameplay o jogo até que se destaca um pouco, apesar de não se distanciar de outros games do gênero. Ao meu ver faz o feijão com arroz, e só. Mas em questão de história, sinceramente, deixa muito a desejar, com personagens fracos e desinteressantes, recheado de locais bonitos para um game da geração PlayStation 3 mas sem uma razão real para prender a atenção do jogador. Tudo é puramente cosmético. E, mesmo para um Shooter/FPS decepciona bastante. Passe longe deste jogo.

Killzone 3 was one of my most wanted FPS game on the PS3, got it, played it. Rubbish. Killzone 3's story is extremely bad. But the game brings more action which is really fun and entertaining but it doesn't cover up it's issues. You now have a new weapon slot (about time) but it can only be a heavy weapon but it's decent enough, you still have the pistol which I never use because it's so useless. The voice acting in the game is horrible, no real effort was put into it and some doesn't seem like their own voices. And sometimes the sounds the characters make are pathectic. The online is bad, I jumped in a game and it was lag from hell. The new layout for the classes are very boring, I loved to see what my character looked like but KZ3 just ruined it. Killzone 3 does have some impressive things to bring, but it doesn't live up to what I hoped. A bad game.
