During some levels a 'buddy' can be ordered around (although some are unarmed). The player can only control Jan Templar, although he can board and control several vehicles: heavy machine gun turrets, a tank, a hovercraft and a jetpack. The resultant game can be seen as a mixture of a shooter and a dungeon crawler. This game features a top-down isometric view in contrast to the original Killzone game for the PS2, which was a first-person shooter.
