Absolutely. It's a solid game, no question about that. And since the initial reviews, it has added a lot of features and content. £10 is a good price IMO. I'm enjoying the solo play. While it's no that special, it's solid and has great visuals. The controls are fine, the story and characters are meh though. There's also a bit of variation to your style of play, you can sneak around a lot more than the other Killzones.
I haven't played the MP yet though so my opinion of the game could really improve.
My biggest peeve of the Killzone series is the portrayal of the enemy. As someone said earlier, they are like Ultra Nazis. It's just too much of a "Oh we're the good guys, and these are the bad guys." I always wanted a bit more ambiguity on this. Like where are the Helghan children, schools, hospitals etc? Are they a society? Because they are never portrayed as being a people rather than just almost robotic killers.
KZ SF does a little to address this, but the series lost its charm for me by being so on the nose that every Helghan is literally worse than Hitler
