Honestly, apart from Killzone 2, it's one of those games I think about a lot. It's a pretty unique feeling game even today. Who would have thought a cover shooter could work this well in a top down format?
It's definitely not perfect. The terrain can sometimes be a pain and the auto targeting frustrating and lead to some bullshit feeling deaths, but I'm overall very surprised how well this held up years later.
The levels are tightly paced, combat is a great balance between challenging and action packed, the AI is surprisingly pretty decent and will try and flank you or keep you moving. It's weird, but it reminds me a lot of older metal gear games when you decide to gun your way out of an alert phase.
Be forewarned though, there was a free chapter 5 that was release for the game via the killzone website that you can't download anymore. There's archives out there that are easy enough to get running on an emu or a PSP, but apparently it's impossible on Vita. It's not THAT crucial, but it's a real fucking bummer that's basically lost by any official means.
