5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection October 30, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Back in 2004, Killzone was originally released. Unfortunately, Killzone had been over hyped by the gaming media to an almost ridiculous point. This was supposed to be Sony's answer to Halo. Some had even dubbed it the "Halo killer." It was no surprise that the game failed to live up to the expectations that had been set for it. I bought this game day one at my local Gamestop, and I fell in love with it. It was buggy, and wonky. There was no jump button, and the story was not exactly the stuff of legends. But there was something about it that kept me coming back time and time again. I played through the campaign probably 3 or 4 times. Then I moved on to the PS3 in 2008, and I left behind Killzone for a while. I played through the superb 2nd game, and the fantastic 3rd game. Every time I played through a new Killzone game, I wanted to be able to play Killzone. I had long since given my PS2 to my parents, and they used it as a DVD player exclusively. I waited, and I waited. Last year they announced that there was a planned release of Killzone via the PSN as a PlayStation 2 classic title, and I was overjoyed. Then it was unceremoniously delayed. Then, Sony announced that HD port of Killzone, and this trilogy pack. It's a fantastic set, to be sure. For the price you get 3 complete games, plus all the DLC for KZ 2 and 3. All this for 40 bucks is steal. But, how is the HD transfer for Killzone?

First off, while it is on the disc, you must first install the ENTIRE game onto your PS3 before you can play it. While the file remains on your PS3, you cannot play it without the disc. So technically, it's not really on the disc. It's on your PS3, and the disc is merely the key to access your content. Now, the game is still a buggy mess at times. But damn it, is it fun. The graphics definitely look dated, and the game play is stiff compared to todays FPS. The cutscenes are not remastered, and quite frankly, they look like crap. To my surprise, there are still a few hiccups when there are to many enemies on the screen, but nothing too alarming. One thing that they did absolutely correct is the fact that you can COMPLETELY customize the controller layout. It's fantastic. So, my impressions so far is that Killzone is exactly what I remember it to be. A game that manages to entertain despite many misgivings. It will definitely be fun to replay those later missions as all the different characters.

I was kind of tempted to say that this was a cash in, but look at the package. It's three complete games, plus DLC for 40 bucks. If anything, I felt like I ripped somebody off.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny January 8, 2013

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I played Killzone 3 briefly when I bought my current PS3 model, and I only played it online (I found it only "OK" online personally). I recieved this gift for Christmas along with the Sharp-Shooter accessory to utilize for Killzone 3. As a collection, this is a bargain and a great complete experience.

Killzone 1 is dated, obviously, but it allows you to play through the same story as 4 different characters with notable differences between all the experiences. I got a platinum in that game and loved every minute of it - even though I played through it 4 times. It feels solid and though the control scheme is a little dated, it works just fine.

Killzone 2 is hard as nails. It's a pretty game with good voice acting and an interesting series of events that drives the story. You have 2 characters from Killzone 1 show up and create a generally great experience.. though again, hard. Don't expect to get a platinum in this one.

Killzone 3 is visually great, I felt the quality of the voice acting was worse than Killzone 2 (but that wasn't significant), and it supports the Sharp-Shooter accessory (along with 3d). I'm a huge PC gamer and usually reserve that platform for my shooters - I usually don't Love console shooters. Killzone 3 with the sharpshooter and 3d turned on provided some of my favorite moments in a console shooter, ever.
The sharpshooter isn't perfect but when it works as intended it feels awesome.
The game itself is very interesting and the plot drives the story. The online is pretty solid though if you're big into Call of Duty or Halo you probalby won't care for it too much (It's very different - in a good way generally). I haven't tried the sharp-shooter online but I imagine it would either be a major advantage or a major burden, all dependent on how good you are at moving and shooting at the same time with it.
The online has very cool classes with the great idea that no class should just be a 'soldier'. There is a Tactician, Infiltrator, Medic, Engineer and Sniper. The Tactician and Infiltrator are the closest you'll get to your traditional soldier but they definitely aren't. You'll encounter a great variety of classes when you play online because they all genuinely have advantages and disadvantages. Even the sniper, who can literally turn invisible, does not feel the least bit overpowered compared to the other classes abilities.

3 great games, a little more than 10 bucks each... If you've ever been curious about Killzone you should definitely pick this up and give it a shot. It's a great series and this is a great collection.

I have always been a fan of Killzone since the first one came out. I got excited when i found out they were making a second Killzone but was disappointed since it was for the PS3 and i owned a PS2. Then they released Killzone 3 and then i knew i had to purchase a PS3 to get all these games but found out that the new slims were not backwards compatible which bummed me out since i loved playing Killzone. When i found out they were making this collection i was even more excited, i purchased this Trilogy along with a PS3 and do not regret my choice. I was very satisfied the HD remastered Killzone and enjoyed playing against bots like i have always done, I knew they would not bring back online since there is Killzone 2 and 3. As for Killzone 2 and 3 i am very pleased with them and impressed with how far they have come. If you enjoy Killzone i would highly recommend if you do not already own all 3.
