In the bleak, grim future there is only red and blue. Or is it green? This is a review of Killzone 3, a game that makes me wonder if I’m colour-blind.
Killzone 3, much like the previous entries in the series, makes use of a very monochromatic palette in most of its environments. They mostly explain this away as the planet being formerly inhospitable. The colours also lend to the mood of the game, so I guess you can’t put too much fault to it. The lack of colour actually makes the few colours that you do see seem much more distinct, like the reds of the eyes of your enemy, or the bright-blue-green that you see on the uniforms of your allies. There are a few moments where you see a little bit more colour, like in the jungle level where you can see some of the wildlife of Helghan.
