Killzone 3 review: Third time's the harm
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/03/killzone-3-review/#continued
I hate how they compare the game to call of duty, it's not ****** CoD!!!!!!!! CoD is not a standard for shooters, it's standard for idiots and making money.

do you need a special invite for the demo or is ps plus good enough to get you into the beta?

Wow, the graphics are awesome and the game just feels better overall, puts CoD to shame. Not to mention there is a nice level of realism as far as the gameplay goes.

Multiplayer is damn good. My only problem is that it takes WAY too few bullets to kill someone. It's becoming a twitch game rather than a slower paced more tactical game.

It should be twitch, ALL FPS GAMES SHOULD BE TWITCH. Halo is the worst abomination of an FPS because it takes all day long to kill someone.

I played a little, mostly botzone. Multiplayer a bit buggy. I like it, but I'm not ready to ditch BO. I'd really like to test move on it.

What? Have you ever been hit with a bullet? Me either, but I don't think I could take many.

I dunno how I like it so far. Nothing is horribly bad, but... what's the point? I need a goal to work towards in MP. I heard there might be "tournaments" but I don't know much more about that..

Why do you feel the need to keep comparing it to COD. We get the point, you don't like COD.

I hope Killzone 3 is a great game but I have my doubts.

I'm curious how the game will feel when using the $40 gun thing while in 3D mode. I'm almost tempted to get the gun peripheral just to try it out, but it's quite expensive.

I play games to have fun. I am looking forward to having this game, as I am tired of COD.

I am liking killzone a lot but 1 thing that annoys me is the medic class. The amount of time it take to revive people is too long. On top of that you have to wait 30 seconds before being able to use the skill again. I wish they would have taken the BFBC2 approach to medics. The shotgun is the current god gun right from what I see. when I find one on the ground I own!!

cause people on 360 can play COD but not KZ3.
That actually has nothing to do with it, several reviews i've read compare the game to CoD.

"Uhhhh, it doesn't have this like CoD"
"Uh, the controls should be more like cod"
"It no call of duty"
"Call of duty is still the king"

Crap like that. Read around.

I only put in one match against novice bots this afternoon, but I kinda like it. I don't care for the field of view, feels a bit too zoomed in for me, but other than that, I thought it was pretty solid.

I liked the 3D mode as well, although I'm sure it didn't help me any. Tomorrow I'm going to get the Move going and see how that feels.

Shotgun was best in KZ2 as well, definitely what I would stick to. KZ maps always have better tight maps than other games, making the shotgun the most effective.

Finally got a chance to check this out but I could only play a bot match. Hopefully the Network Errors and slow nature of traversing the multiplayer menu aren't indicative of the final product.

Otherwise Killzone 3 seems like more of the same (awesome, that is). I really enjoyed my brief time with KZ2 multiplayer. I'm looking forward to the full game.
