Killzone 2 is considered one of the best first person shooters of any generation, so it follows that many were eager to get their grubby hands on the very ambitious sounding sequel. Many of the reports from E3 filtering in indicate that Guerilla Games is working very hard to silence the few critics the original game had.

Here’s a hands-on review from a blog site (written by Robert Strick) regarding the time they spent with it at E3 2010:

The first and most notable difference is how Killzone 3 plays. Gone are the heavy movement, dead weight, and input lag from Killzone 2. The reticule snaps precisely while still managing to keep a sense of momentum. This change is welcome and helps Killzone 3 play much better than its predecessor. One of my biggest complaints with Killzone 2 was the inability to crouch, aim, and reload smoothly. GG have squashed those issues allowing the player to do these actions simultaneously without any issues. It’s these types of refinements that will help keep Killzone 3 on top of the multiplayer charts for years to come.

What about the graphics? It’s no secret that Killzone 2 was one of the graphical powerhouses of this generation and Killzone 3 follows that trend. Despite the game being in pre-alpha, it already looks fantastic. The amount of detail and visual effects are stunning and there’s much more action on screen than there was in Killzone 2.

PS3 users have much to look forward to in early 2011 when the game will be released. It’ll be one we cover when it comes out, no doubt about that.
