Killzone: Liberation

New to the franchise is a top-down/third-person perspective, instead of the PS2's first-person approach. During the action, you can switch to a tactical overview to plan your actions. You will fight alongside a soldier named Rico, issue orders, and commandeer vehicles. The missions require you to plant explosives, sabotage installations, rescue hostages, and infiltrate military territory.

Prior to each mission, you can customize your character with points. Up to three upgradable abilities can be modified before each new task, to carry more ammo for specific weapons or inflict more damage. These points can be earned during challenge missions where you need to show your shooting skills or complete actions such as disarming mines in a limited amount of time.

The game comes with a full range of Ad Hoc settings for multiplayer, with co-op and competitive play modes included, such as Deathmatch, Assault, and Capture the Flag for up to six players.
