Let me first say, that I don't ever regret buying this game. People complain about the weird 3rd person view, but I think that it beats even first person shooter view. Especially on the PSP. It is the perfect portable game. Missions are especially long, and it is a totally cool looking game to "wow" your friends!

Right now, they are beta testing the "Infrastructure" mode for the game. I am part of the Beta Test, and the online mode is even more fun than the single player!! You won't regret getting Killzone: Liberation!!

Recent DLs Make This Game One of the Best for PSP

The single player campaign of this game is fun and very, very challenging. Having played the first Killzone for the PS2 is not required for being up to snuff on this PSP title. The game is short on plot, but long on beautifully frustrating action.

As you've probably read before, the game's camera looks down from a third person "bird's eye" perspective, which zooms in and out depending on how many enemies are on the screen and where they are. This allows for a tactical element missing from the FPS Killzone on the PS2. You will get really good at ducking behind walls and crates, the pop-and-shoot method of dealing damage without taking much, diving, grenade tossing, and all that fun stuff. Vektan money is hidden in each level in the form of briefcases you can find in crates scattered around. Finding these cases will upgrade your weapons, so it is definitely in your best interest to get as many as you can. Also, once you beat an entire chapter (4 total, with 4 missions per chapter), you will unlock challenge missions which, when completed, will bestow useful abilities, such as carrying more grenades or having unlimited ammunition.

You will also occasionally be paired up with an AI controlled ally, whom you can order to move to different spots on the screen, to attack a certain enemy, or to perform a context-sensitive action, such as planting C4 or disarming a trip mine. Yes, very tactical, very useful, and very fun. However, this game is not for the more casual of players. Even on the easy diffulty setting, you will die. You will die a lot. By the time I finished the game on normal, I had died 173 times. That's right, 173 deaths in a game that took me around eight hours of gameplay to complete. Granted, I replayed levels to find all of the Vektan Money. Playing straight through without regards to these hidden items could conceivably only take a player maybe four hours to complete the first time through. The point is, the enemies aren't stupid; they're well-armed, they're not easy to kill, and there are lots of them. But, if you can resist that temptation to shatter your PSP against the wall halfway through, you will be rewarded with intense and satisfying gameplay.

The biggest problem lies in replay value. Beating each mission on each difficulty setting is valuable, because it unlocks player skins to be used in multiplayer. But once you've done that, and beaten all challenge missions, there's really no reason to go back to the single player campaign, and you've only invested 15 hours or so into it. That was disappointing for me.

Luckily, Killzone: Liberation's multiplayer is a lot of fun. You can go through the entire game co-operatively with a friend, or have deathmatch/team deathmatch/etc battles of up to six players on a handful of maps. The maps are well-sized for 2 - 8 players, and the single-player gameplay conventions you become familiar with throughout the single player campaign are very useful in multiplayer battles.

Originally, the KZ:L shipped with only ad-hoc multiplayer capability. But, after many months (delay after delay after delay) in the making, the online infrastructure patch has been released along with the addition of a fifth chapter of single/co-op missions. All of this has been released for free (you can download directly to your memory stick - I think the total package is a little over 70 mb), and both add considerably to the overall package. Chapter 5 is probably the best yet, and makes for a fairly satisfying conclusion to a game somewhat light on plot to begin with. The action is nonstop, and the final boss definitely ranks up with the others on the scale of insane (but not impossible) difficulty. Online multiplayer is AWESOME. There are the occasional instances of lag, but the servers are full of players who have been frothing at the mouth waiting for this patch, so there's no shortage of fun to be had here.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone with a PSP. It's arguably the best game on it. Absolute Grade A title. Cheers.

The best game!

I love the style and the look of the game. The cinematic "cut-scenes" are spectacular and rival those of PS2. The game play is great! The top-down view is reminiscent of some of the "Contra" games of the PS1 era. I do find it hard to play straight through the game because of the advanced difficulty level. You will die quite a bit. This has never caused me frustration, however, it only excites me to play more. The game is perfect for smaller chunks of time i.e. car/airplane rides.

The Killzone series is a great one! I highly recommend both games to anyone who hasn't tried them!

Muy Buena Opción!

Disculpen que lo escriba en español....
Para las opciones que existen actualmente en PSP, recomiendo ciertamente este juego. La perspectiva de tercera persona es simplemente única y divertida, el juego es muy completo y garantiza varias horas de entretenimiento. Las escenas cinematográficas son de alta calidad, que en la pantalla del PSP se ven increíbles!

Con respecto al juego en linea, es igual de bueno o quizás mejor; entre las distintas opciones de juego, seguro vas a tener mucho tiempo ocupado con este titulo. (posee una pagina en varios idiomas con soporte sobre el juego y organización de clanes)

De los juegos existente, lo aconsejo como parte de tu colección. 10/10

Superb!

I've wanted this game for a while, but waited until it became a Greatest Hits title to pick it up for $20. The graphics are nice, the story is cool (a little Bond feel to it), the learning curve is small, the perspective (almost bird's eye) fits the PSP well, and there is downloadable content available that adds an extra chapter as well as infrastructure mode for playing online.

If you like action, pick it up!

good handheld game

occupied time overseas. online bonus content is cool since most games have the option but don't live up to what they say. wipeout pulse has good on-line as well.

Not too sure what to say anymore.....

This game is really fun. I enjoy killing things on the go. Sadly enough I have not played this for a long while. Perhaps one day I'll get back into this game ..... then again, maybe not. Only time will tell. But it does have some really fun gameplay.

I actually didn't purchase this game for myself, rather it was a gift for my husband. He raves about it and plays it often.

Killzone Liberation for the PSP is a good reason to buy a PSP. Beautiful graphics; challenging play; multiple modes with multiplayer capability. I enjoyed KZ for the PS2, but this is even better.
