OVERVIEW
Developed by Guerrilla Games, in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment
Europe and SCEA Santa Monica Studios, Killzone is a squad-based,
first-person shooter, set in the near future during a period of planetary
colonization. Drawing inspiration from classical military conflicts
of the 20th century, Killzone captures the intense reality
of warfare between the ISA Command and a ruthless, militaristic separatist
faction called the Helghast.
Featuring four playable characters, Killzone provides several
gameplay modes including single-player, multi-player (team based and
competitive) and online. Players can equip themselves with an armory
of more than 25 different weapons inspired from today's modern weaponry.
More than 10 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.
STORYLINE
Years ago, the success of planetary colonization has resulted in several
planets to become inhabited by humans. While the majority of colonies
have aligned to form the ISA, the Helghast, a ruthless, militaristic
separatist faction have distanced themselves secretly planning to scale
an all out war.
Killzone takes place during the initial Helghast blitzkrieg
of the nearby colony of Vecta. As Vecta City 's orbital defenses mysteriously
fail, the Helghast have been able to land and deploy their troops rapidly
and with ease. As the planetary defense forces become overrun, and
scattered into the city, your initial objective as an ISA member is
to escort a high-ranking official to an evacuation point.
