Killzone 2 was known as one of the most good looking games on any platform with great dynamics, excellent AI and of course, drop dead gorgeous graphics.

Another cool example is the jetpack trooper: if the player keeps firing on the jetpack’s fuel tank it will eventually rupture and ignite, propelling the screaming trooper skyward in a ball of flame.
