Get ready to take on the full strength of the Helghast war
machine from a dramatic first-person perspective with Killzone 2
for PS3. From Guerilla Games, this much anticipated follow-up to
Killzone for PS2 and Killzone: Liberation for PSP drops you right
into the boots of battle hardened special forces soldier Sev. Set
two years after the aborted Helghast assault on Vekta, the action
opens with your ISA Legion squad deployed behind enemy lines on
the Helghan's unforgiving home turf.
Combat Lifelike AI and Inhospitable Terrain
Despite the smooth character animations and swift-thinking AI
behind each individual Helghan, their planet itself may be the
most deceptive nent that you face. Unlike other game
environments that serve as nothing more than a visual backdrop,
the devastating Helghan climate takes a notable toll. And, worst
of all, the Helghans know exactly how to use the planet against
you. The in-your-face perspective comes to life as you take
with exotic new weapons and mainstays from the previous games,
including the M82-G assault . And you can now drive an array
of rugged, sometimes strange, vehicles that expand the gruesome
possibilities of war.

beautifully lit. Ambient occlusion and accurate shadow casting
from a variety of light sources combine with gritty textures,
detailed environments, and studio-grade special effects to help

shooter.
Real-time cutscenes, full-screen anti-aliasing, motion blurs,
and internal lens reflections all bring you into the fold and
work to maximize the hardware capabilities of the PS3. And the
audio experience is no less impressive. 7.1 surround sound
capability lend a truly dynamic sound element to your experience,
while audio occlusion with wave tracing means that you can hear
the difference between indoor and outdoor firefights.
