Killzone Liberates The PSP
IGN has a very early review up for Killzone Liberation, giving it a 9.0 “Outstanding” score. They drooled all over the multiplayer component, along with the rest of the game.
Liberation also has a deep and thoroughly groovy multiplayer component. Developers put every facet of the PSP’s multiplayer functionality to good use here. You can choose from four different modes, including Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Assault. You can also choose from a list of well-designed maps and define a number of parameters, such as the time limit for each match. There’s also game sharing, which lets you beam multiplayer scenarios to a friend’s PSP. And just so you know, the intensity of single-player multiplies when playing against live opponents. In fact, to say playing Liberation’s multiplayer modes is fun would be a severe understatement.
I enjoyed the demo immensely, which actually shipped with a full multiplayer component. I found it to be a very unique experience that kind of blended Metal Gear Solid with Metal Slug. While the original Killzone was somewhat of a letdown, Killzone Liberation seems to have lived up the hype. For fans of the Killzone universe, this one shouldn’t be missed.
It seems wherever Liberation can go the extra mile, it does. It delivers on all fronts, from a thoroughly engrossing single-player campaign to an addictive multiplayer component. Liberation also shames most other PSP offerings through its presentation, which blends excellent visuals and sound with a clean and user-friendly interface. It has a few quirks, but in the end, they seem almost negligible. Definitely recommended to fans of the action genre, but also to anyone who dislikes bad games.
