(CNN) -- "Killzone 3," in stores this week, is one wild, rolling firefight. Set across many different terrains, it challenges players to show off their mental capabilities as well as their shooting prowess. The first-person shooter (Sony, Guerrilla Games) picks up where "Killzone 2" left off, with the opposition leader dead and a city in ruins after a nuclear bomb goes off. The gameplay quickly becomes run-and-gun, as players race to get out of a war zone where they are vastly outnumbered. The Helghast, sort of a futuristic pseudo-Nazi/Cold War Russian looking group, are on the trail of our intrepid heroes through a nuked-out city, leafy jungle, polar mountains and outer space.

Infiltrator and Marksman were the most interesting to play, reviewer says
However, I could easily see the game being played by a new person with the @placeholder for more enjoyment than a regular controller.
