The worlds first Killzone 3 review is out, and it has been published by Polish mega games review site Gamezilla.

Its seems they’re liking it very much, giving it a 10/10 for graphics, calling it “one of the most beautiful games in the world”. They also scored it an 8 for audio, and 9 for game play, which is good considering its a Killzone game, game-play was never its strongest point in my view, but good news none the less.

Guerrilla’s managing director, Herman Hulst, has stated Killzone 3 will use close to 100% of the PS3′s power. The rumors of the intervention of Naughty Dog in the development were denied by Guerrilla: “Guerrilla is working on Killzone 3′s graphics engine all on its own, confirming Naughty Dog has no hand in its development”

The first teaser trailer for the game was released on June 3, 2010 and features the new brutal melee combat system. The cinematic trailer shows Sev battling a Helghast ending with him taking the Helghast’s helmet and putting it on himself

Pros:

+ One of the most beautiful game world

+ Well-balanced, varied campaign

+ High level of difficulty

+ Game on the Move and Sharp Shooter

Cons:

- Series deserves a deeper body shape characters

- Minor technical mistakes

About Killzone 3 Plot

The game picks up immediately after the ending of Killzone 2 and follows the previous games’ main protagonist, Sev, a Special Forces operative fighting for theInterplanetary Strategic Alliance against the Helghast Empire. The game continues shortly after Sev successfully defeated Radec and Rico having killed Visari, the Helghast dictator who leaves them to a fleet of Helghast ships approaching them destroying ISA vessels.

The death of their dictator has left the Helghast Empire in a state of internal struggle. Now, Sev and his comrade Rico are trapped in the cross-fire between the various political factions without any reinforcements and are left to fight alone in order to escape as the ISA struggles to regroup its forces.^[4] The game will also give players a deeper look into Helghan culture such as their language and showcase whatever humanity they have left within them.

Killzone 3′s story will also be more light-hearted compared to its predecessor, which Guerrilla felt suffered from an overly serious and dark story which was one of the major complaints of the original, though they mentioned that it would not be too light-hearted as it is still a war. In addition, Guerrilla Games has hired an external writer to focus on only writing the storyline so as to give a fresh perspective to the story as well as hiring a lot more Hollywood actors to elevate the level of storytelling within the dialogue of the game.^[5]
