Killzone is a fps for playstation 2 that is pretty mediocre and bland when it comes to it's setting, taking inspirations from other franchises, mostly likely from MEDAL OF HONOR, CALL OF DUTY, WOLFENSTEIN, and HALO.
This game mainly consists of 2 modes, but the main part of this game would have to be the story where you play as a Soldier named Jan Templar who has to go and fight against the HELGHAST in a war on another planet. He unites with an old fling of his named Luger who used to be his girlfriend but later became a heartless assassin. After that they meet a mercenary with a giant Gatling gun named Rico, all to tract down a double agent Helghast human halfling named Hakha, the 4 of them go out an attempt to stop the HELGHASTS plan of destroying the EARTH FLEET after Stuart Adams, a captain on one of the ships sells out Humanity for the sake of power.
You are able to play as either of the 4 post level 5, for the first and second levels you play as Templar, for the Third you have a decision between Lugar and Templar, for the 4th you have a decision between Rico, Lugar, and Templar. And finally after meeting Hakha, you can select whichever you feel like. The best option is Rico since he is able to hold Gatling gun assault rifles, 1 unique to Rico alone, and one that only enemies hold.
The levels play out as follows: GET TO POINT A to B, and you'll probably have obstacles like taking out tanks, or snipers.
Each level plays more like a chapter with mini levels in between, sometimes you'll have 3 parts to a single chapter/mission, sometimes, it's only to. In total the game has 11 chapters, with 3 levels within them each give or take.
I enjoyed my time with it, I did have fun, though I did play on HARD and it gave me a struggle and I felt how cheap the A.I. was at times, but I enjoyed my time with it, even if the story was bland, the environments were grey and boring, the gunplay is genuinely fun, and I can see how this led into the franchise it became.
But to be honest I can see if there's a reason for why people decide to go directly to either 2, 3, or Shadow Fall. I'll give a solid 2.5 for: it's meh, fun meh in terms of gameplay, but bland in every other department.
Next up for me, is KILLZONE LIBERATION for PSP.
