| Summary: A good game but more of a side step and experiment in my opinion.

Killzone Liberation is and excellent game both as a sequel to the previous Killzone game and a title that could easily be on many people's must have list. However, the game loses points, because of a lack of infrastructure mode and the new camera angle doesn't stand a chance against the old first person camera. The single player campaign is very short, making Killzone and enjoyable game, that comes in a disappointingly small package.
Killzone Liberation follows the previous story line of the first Killzone, and sets you up with what happens next. It is quite an fun experience, but I think SCEA will be better off calling this a side-step or test, as a pose to an all out sequel. This is because they have really experimented a lot with it, the biggest experiment being the camera angle. The graphics are sharp, and detailed, even though you are zoomed far away from the action. The shots from guns end up looking bad because SCEA ended up deciding that shooting a bright line would be good enough. Nevertheless the large nice-looking background, and good animation balance the graphics slightly to the good side.
As the graphics come up short, the gameplay certainly doesn't, atleast not the actual campaign length. You'll be disappointed with your eight hour game, and will soon rely on the Infrastructure mode which it doesn't have, Ad-Hoc may be fun, but come on!!! I hate PSP games with no Infrastructure. However, while the campaign may be short, it is still extremely fun, and might have some replay value. Although there is nothing to collect, you may just go back for the sake of playing the damn game! Another weak point is the messed up control setup, half the buttons don't do anything, and the ones you do use are laid out in such a way that they may take hours to master, also things like strafing and reloading are missing which really screws things up.
Sound is a bit off, but with the things going on, and all the different sound effects its hard to make it better. SCEA have certainly done a good job of capturing the sound of all your surroundings, but weapon shots are abit mediocre.
Killzone Liberation has short loading times, and a very short game, but while it does last it is fun and has good graphics and decent sound, and with no online play, it certainly can't be a serious sequal, but nevertheless it is a good game. An 81 out of 100.
