Killzone: Liberation is an overhead, 3rd person shooter for the PSP. Not being an FPS, it may not fully appeal to fans of the original. The idea of making it an overhead shooter does work, though. The only problem is that everything appears so small on the little screen. Despite this, the graphics are amazing for the PSP. From the overhead perspective, you get to see the enemy approach from all sides and the audio is great so that you hear their distinctive voices and the explosions and gunshots. Playing the game can be a little difficult. It takes a while to figure out how to get your character to aim in just the direction you want him to. There is an autoaim that works somewhat well but you can't always count on it. In some parts, you get to have a 'teammate' who you can order around which works very well. You do need to watch the health of your buddy, though. You also get to control tanks and other vehicles which make for fun breaks from the regular action. The money and points system make the game more interesting by letting you purchase upgrades. This game is supposed to be a sequel to the original Killzone for the PS2 and thus continues the great story, but not in FPS. Each map has so many dollars and you are timed so there is much replayability possible. This game, by itself, is a very fun and challenging game. As I mentioned before, it may not fully appeal to fans of the original due to it not being an FPS.Read full review
I have never played the original Killzone but it's fairly easy to catch on to the story. The game itself has some fairly good duck and shoot mechanics. It takes a little while to figure out how to get from place to place without getting killed but you'll get it. I especially like the supply depot mechanic. The game designers seem to place these things exactly where you need them and nowhere else so that you can trade off guns and get health but don't get too complacent. I do feel that I need to mention something about the difficulty. I'm playing this game on normal and I feel that I'm pretty good at video games but this game can be HARD. It's usually pretty challenging and you will find yourself restarting from checkpoints a lot, but some parts make you feel like the game designers have a personal vendetta against you. There's a spider tank that is just mercilessly difficult. Most people take dozens of tries to defeat it. If you're patient and are looking for a nice challenge, pick up this game, as it's one of the better games in the PSP library.Read full review
Killzone Liberation is currently one of the best games for the PSP. What makes it even better is that you can pick up a copy for less than $15, and believe me, its worth it. Killzone Liberation is a "top-down shooter" you look down from above, and your character targets enemies automatically. The auto aim might sound like it would make the game too easy, but trust me, when there are 5 enemy soldiers firing rockets and bullets and chucking grenades at you, it gets nasty. The story in Killzone Liberation is decent, but not THAT great. You basically are a soldier who is sent to protect people and take down key figures in the enemy alien army. In the story mode, you do get to do some awesome stuff like hijack an enemy tank and go on a rampage, but most of the time you just are fighting your way to one place or another. The game totally makes up for its mediocre story by having fun, fast, and intense gameplay. Included with the game are some fun multiplayer modes, like deathmatch and capture the flag, and you can even play the story mode co-op with a friend. The more people you play with, the funner it gets. Also an update was released for the game in 2007, and you can download it via the DOWNLOAD section in the game (the psp's internet browser will open, and will go to the killzone website) or by searching on google for the update yourself and putting it on your memory stick. The update adds a couple of unlockable weapons, an additional chapter to the story mode, but best of all: FREE ONLINE PLAY! The online is AWESOME! It increases the maximum number of players from 6 to 8! It also supports the psp headset, and it even has its own email-like message system for setting up games and talking to people with no headset. There were only a couple problems that i encountered while playing the game. The most major one was that for some reason, the killzone website is down (as of April 28, 2009) so if you can't access it with the psp, you'll need to get on your pc and look for the update on google. even if it seems like a hassle, the added features are totally worth the time it took to find the update. Another problem is that sometimes the game will freeze, and you'll have to reset, or the online game you are playing will suddenly stop, but this doesn't happen often enough to make it too annoying. So, my advice to anyone with a PSP out there is: GET THIS AWESOME GAME!! It is COMPLETELY worth the money.Read full review
