With only weeks till the offical launch of Killzone 3, Matt and Alex from ThumbPad.com.au take for a complete run down of the new Killzone 3 Beta. If you had doubts about this game, this review will change your mind.

Its not hard to be excited about the impending release of Killzone 3 at the end of this month, and thankfully Sony and Geurilla Games arent going to make you wait to try it out, They have released an "Open Beta" Which is free to download from the Playstation Store.

Whilst only a small sample of the finished product, it is already looking like a must have for any FPS fan.

There is a lot that Killzone 3 has in common with its predecessor, and as with any new game from an existing franchise, there will be quite few references to the previous game when comparing features and usability. Whislt all of the classes, with the exception of the Assault class, have made the transition to this new battlefield, many of the character models have been re-designed (most notably the Helghast versions) giving them a completely new look and feel. Many of the weapons and abilities associated with those classes also return. But whilst Killzone 2 was set in either Dry, Windswept deserts or Industrial facilities, Killzone 3 boasts vastly different and varied maps, including Jungles, ruined Cities and, the map included in this Open Beta, A Frozen Dam.
