I received a preview demo of the upcoming Sony PSP game, Killzone: Liberation, and played it for about a half hour or so to give you guys a quick overview of the gaming experience. The first and most obvious detail to mention is that this game is set in a top-downish third person shooter view, because as we all know, one analog stick doesn't exactly make for good first person shooters. It is clear, however, that the designers tested the controls well because the game is still very responsive and well tuned. Aiming at enemies is done with a lock-on system that is very loose and doesn't require a button press (unless of course you want to shoot at context sensitive objects, in which case you crouch and press a lock-on button). This makes for a very fast paced style of combat, similar to Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty, but with emphasis on action. I am also happy to report that the A.I. is fairly smart and will follow you around, or take cover, adding to the difficulty (the game is fairly hard but not too bad). They will not just stand there and be bullet sponges, though they may sometimes just run into your line of fire. Lastly, I would like to add that the graphics are fairly good for the Playstation Portable, with a very monochromatic grayish-tone throughout, and high polygon counts for environments. It is difficult to tell how the quality of character models are however, due to the camera view being so far away. Killzone: Liberation is released from the captivity of the developers and into stores October 31st for the Playstation Portable. Read more on Killzone: Liberation here at the official web site.
