PSP collections usually consist of compilations and collections, and there haven’t been many PSP originals in a while. Every now and then, however, an original title comes along and it just happens to be one of the best games on the PlayStation Portable. One such game is KillZone: Liberation.
Liberation is a sequel to KillZone on the PlayStation 2. Though it has been brought down to a handheld console, the game makes full use of the hardware capabilities of the PSP to turn into an all-time PSP classic.
Liberation’s success can be owed to the fact that it’s an improved version of the original KillZone, on the PSP. It has improved features, and is just a really fun action game. It also has some depth to the story and gameplay that most portable titles seem to be missing.
You play Templar, the same guy in the original KillZone. The story continues a little after where KillZone left off. Your basic objectives in the Killzone Liberation PSP version are to infiltrate the enemy camp and to rescue hostages. Doing that is the fun part. You get to go gun-crazy on a whole bunch of enemy soldiers, and blow up their installations. The game also let’s you pilot every possible kind of craft, not to mention dismantle anything that has the enemy’s logo on it.
Interaction and gameplay control is a pleasure with KillZone: Liberation. The game has a natural feel to it, and controlling your character is extremely simple, with context-based tasks, making actions during combat feel seamless.
The game involves tons of multitasking, with you giving orders to your team while taking out enemies and sabotaging their equipment. Rico is one of your comrades who help you out, and he isn’t annoying or incompetent, thankfully.
The shooting part is free aim, with the game adding it’s own fine tuning to make it more accurate.
KillZone Liberation is a great sequel to KillZone, and a great action shooter for the PSP. It’s a must have title for those who have played the original, and even for those who just enjoy action games generally. It definitely gets a 9/10 on my scale.
