Killzone: Liberation is a game that many people around this site have been waiting to come out for quite some time. The PS2 title Killzone was a good game, and fans have been waiting for some sort of a follow-up. Today in the mail, I got my hands on the demo of Killzone: Liberation, and let me tell you all, its good. The demo takes place in a dock area similar to the one shown in the screen below. Like most previews have stated, this is a top down third person shooter instead of a first-person shooter that the PS2 Killzone was. In Liberation cover is your friend, if you “run and gun” in this game you will pay for it. Ducking is done by pressing the right shoulder button, shooting is done through the square button. This feels really good as you are playing through the level. Targeting is done with a laser that locks on to your enemies. The controls feel nice and perfect for this game.

However, I do have some complaints with the demo. It is really short, but it is hard, so that makes up for it. I died many times trying to fight against a rocket-launcher guy, while only using only my machine gun. A well placed grenade took care of him though. All in all this is shaping up to be a great game. Look for it in the coming months.
