Metareview - Killzone: Liberation

Killzone: Liberation

With that Killzone sequel stuck somewhere in the PlayStation 3 pipeline, Sony and Guerilla have opted to keep the franchise alive with a PSP spin-off, releasing this week. Guerilla was not up to the task of proving FPSs could be done well on PSP, so Liberation is brought to us in third-person, which has proved more stable and successful on the platform. But releasing alongsideVice City Stories and a pair of Q Entertainment puzzlers could mean Liberation gets slept on.

Here are some mixed critiques:

  • IGN (90/100) opines Killzone's got "depth" and "accessibility," making it "one of the best games on [PSP]."

  • GameDaily (80/100) gives a clear-cut endorsement: "Killzone: Liberation is definitely worth buying."

  • Game Informer (73/100) applauds Guerilla for "actually trying to do some quality work on the PSP," but warns, "this game will kick your ass" because of awkward controls and difficulty balance.
