On the whole i really enjoyed Killzone 3 :) id say its better than kz2 simply because of the improved controls (no lag!) although i stil get that slight feeling of sluggishness in kz3 but it almost never effects me when im playing.
I actually dont get why GG added the sluggishness to the controls, some people said it was to make the player feel the weight and inertia of the character but battlefield bad company does this and theres no lag. Input lag simply does not work as a game mechanic. I hope in kz4 they completely remove the sluggish feel, but have a feel similar to BFBC2.
On the multiplayer side of things i cant say whether its worse or better than kz2 as i never did play kz2 multi, in fact kz3 is my first fps game that i really got into the mp side. And im loving it :) No lag what so ever even on a slow ass 384kbps broadband line here in south africa which is GREAT. Although the campers can be a bit irritating...but this is common to most fps mp games.
The single player was good, but didnt give me that feeling of being in a war quite the same way as kz2 did. The gameplay was better, the story was way better, more variation, and better graphics in kz3 but again didnt get that same feeling of being in a crazy war. And on this note i think reviewers were right when they kinda bashed the sp campaign, it lost the feeling of kz and became something more similar to COD, and failed in doing so. This is the main/only gripe i have with the game and from what i can see same with most reviewers, i think the reviewers were a bit harsh on scores though.
The keznan jungle level in the sp campaign is simple one of the most beuatiful levels in a game ever created the dynamic lighting really shines in that level as well as the contrasting colours they got the look of a helghan jungle spot on!!! Really did wow me :D
