In the end, Killzone HD comes in at $15 on the PlayStation Network and for that price, it’s a really tough sell when there are so many other shooters available for the same price or less. For me, the only reason to really pick up this title is if you never played the original and you want to complete the trilogy.
Cameron Teague · Nov 04, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewAll in all, Killzone HD is a competent remaster of a solid game. Don't expect the highest quality of gaming. However, if you are a fan of FPS games or have played the sequels but never the first game, then I would recommend you check out Killzone, which is available as a standalone release on the PlayStation Store or as part of the Killzone Trilogy compilation.
Paul Kelly · Nov 03, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewDespite its impressive art direction and intense sense of style, Killzone struggled as a PlayStation 2 title. On PS3 its issues are accentuated, with shoddy gunplay and repetitive environments amongst its most notable flaws. If you’re hell-bent on experiencing the origins of one of Sony’s most popular franchises, or simply want to revisit a forgotten favourite, then this is a worthy upgrade – but at £11.99/$14.99, you should approach with caution.
Sammy Barker · Oct 30, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewThough there are issues with Killzone HD, it should be remembered that this is an HD port of a last gen title, not a complete remake, so some bugs should be expected. For fans of the Killzone franchise, or FPS fans on a tight budget, this is well worth playing. It’s a solid enough challenge and a respectable length so it certainly accounts well for its cost of £11.99/$14.99. It’s just a shame that the game didn’t receive a more comprehensive update than the patchy coat of paint it seems to have been given.
Aran Suddi · Oct 29, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewKillzone HD conserva gran parte del atractivo que convirtió al original de PS2 en un título tan querido... aunque los años no le han sentado tan bien como a otros clásicos de la época. Es frenético, tiene una buena historia y es bastante rejugable, pero los problemas con la inteligencia artificial y las pocas novedades que incorpora afean el resultado final. Si en su día no lo jugaste sin duda disfrutarás de su historia, pero está lejos de ser uno de los grandes juegos de acción del momento.

About the game
Killzone is set in the near future during a period of planetary colonization. Drawing inspiration from classical military conflicts of the 20th century, Killzone sets out to capture the intense reality of warfare between the ISA Command and a ruthless, militaristic separatist faction called the Helghast. This game allows players to equip themselves with an armory of more than 27 different weapons including 21 first-person weapons, five emplaced weapons, and hand grenades. More than 45 levels, encompassing 11 intricately detailed environments showcase the harsh setting of a war-ridden planet, coupled with a unique graphical style designed to capture the grit and realism of intense military engagements.
