Underrated Game

Summary: Really, this game is worth it. Is it true that this game can be very difficult at times? Yes. But timely checkpoints at just the right places solves that problem very easily. And if you fail, you can always change a couple settings. A great storyline, it addition to plenty of unlockables makes this game a great buy, and a steal at under $20. The online mode is fun and intense, although recently there have been a rash of hackers. It can also be quite buggy at times, randomly disconnecting you and such, and SOE has done nothing to fix it, claiming they are too busy developing Killzone 2. However, if nobody is spoiling the game for everybody else, gameplay can be fun and intense and will keep you on your toes with a variety of different modes. All in all, I think this game is worth every penny.

Gameplay- Five Stars
There are two main gripes with this game: a bad camera and the difficulty level. Let me say that about the bad camera, it's true. Although it isn't as bad as some people say, you'll find yourself dying because you couldn't see that tank rolling in from your side. But for the most part, the camera is solid. This game might have you confused for a while because the camera angle is a new idea. No game that I have played before uses a bird's eye third person view of the battlefield. About the difficulty level, it's hard to say that it's "difficult", just because you can't get past a certain part. There is always a certain weapon that you can use against a boss, and every boss has weak points, and every battle can be one. You just need to try. The game also has a Vektan Dollars system. You pick up cases of money on the battlefield and use that money to purchase better weapons. The game also utilizes an AI buddy system, which is actually rather well executed. You can tell your buddy to follow you, or order him to move to specific strategic points on the battlefield.

Story- Three Stars
Really, there isn't much of a story. You play as Jan Templar, a elite super soldier who kills Helghast soldiers. Over. And over. And over again. But hey, I had fun while doing it. And I'm pretty sure you would too.

Online Play- Three Stars
Online play is fun and competitive, with a variety of different modes that you can play. There's the traditional deathmath, which is a free-for-all, a team deathmatch, a capture the flag mode, and an assault mode. The assault mode is where the Helghast Team attempts to use C4 on specific hard points in the enemy building in order to destroy it. Recently, there there have been a rash of hackers who ruin the game for everyone. When this happens, however, you can just try to find a new server. Another problem with online play is that the menu has lots of bugs. On mine, for example, I can't go up in rank. But my friends' can. But his doesn't record his kills, only his death. So he has three gold stars, but zero kills and around two hundred deaths. Sony Online Entertainment has done nothing to fix this, claiming they are too busy developing new (buggy) games.

Final Verdict-Five Stars
Lots of unlockables. A passable story. Competitive online play. Fun campaign mode. You could ask more for twenty dollars, but really, this is one of the most solid games I've played for a long time on the PSP.

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

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.

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!

Great Game, but hard!

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!

This game is very entertaining and terrbily challenging. I would recommend playing in a padded room because when you get towards the end of the game you will probably get so frustrated as to throw your psp against the wall...

Pretty Good!

Killzone: Liberation for the PSP is a fairly decent game. Graphics are kinda iffy but hey, its a hand-held. if nothing else get it for the online play which is pretty cool if u get in with the right crowd. All in all i give it a 4. Oh, i almost forgot, the gameplay itself is good and so is the story

Although Different from its console counter part, it's still awesome.

When I got first got this game I wasn't too in to it. But I gave it a chance and found that this is a very great action packed game. One of the best on the PSP.

Played this for about and hour and I found myself a little challenged. I like the AI they included in the game which makes it easier shooting your target(s). This looks like a promising game so this would be a keeper. I prefer this type of action games rather than first person shooter which, a lot harder to control than a thumb stick (joystick).

Good game but irritatingly difficult sometimes

This is a very fun game in general but the makers decided to make up for the otherwise very short game by making some parts needlessly difficult and completely annoying. Since you have to keep repeating to kill the last 2 bosses, you end up spending a lot of time "playing it".

Like the previous poster, a game shouldn't be too easy but it shouldn't be so hard, either, that makes it unenjoyable and irritating. It took me about 30 deaths (and tries) to kill one of the bosses. And, it's not just difficult, it takes about 10 minutes to fight the boss only to get killed in the last second which is completely aggravating.

I'm glad I borrowed this game. I know after I'm done with it, I'm not playing it ever again. I'm up to the point where I just wanna finish the game and move on to Metal Gear or Rainbow Six.

Good game but unfortunately, not fun.
