Getting ready to head back into it tonight.  I’m still a serious noob at it all but the game has a good way of easing the new player in.  I haven’t unlocked much yet but the default setup seems pretty powerful.  The multiplayer simply titled “warzone” is some of the best fun I’ve had online… There are five games types that are changed on the fly by your commanding officer and it really sucks you into believing you’re really there amidst the chaos of the battlefield.  Your character moves along at a pace and heft somewhere in-between Call of Duty and Gears of War.  They take the Killzone cover system out for multiplayer games in case you are wondering how that works (cover is still important, you just can’t stick to it).

Also, the graphics are absolutely mind-blowing-beautiful and the frame-rate is buttery smooth.  As good as that screenshot looks, it doesn’t do the game justice.

As far as content goes, the multiplayer aspect really doesn’t have much that is over the top.  The vision-impairing blood effect when you’re getting hit is more jarring but less gory than Gears of War.  The single player game (of which I’ve only played the demo) has a LOT of swearing in it, some that I’ve heard in the demo, some that I have heard of.  It’s there enough to get other-more-famous game reviewers complaining about it so there must be a bunch and it sounds like it’s rather gratuitous – so parents take care… not kid-friendly.
