Fun to look at

Killzone: Shadow Fall Review | Stunning But Soulless
The Short Version: The first couple of hours of Killzone: Shadow Fall hint towards a game that might just play as well as it looks. And it looks phenomenal. But sadly, the game falters and falls rather quickly, crushed under the weight of its own ambitions, and it retreats to the safe banality of...
Pros:
- It's absolutely gorgeous
- No
- seriously
- this game is like ecstasy for the eyeballs
- Opening couple of levels are really well-worked
- Interesting setting and subject matter is full of potential and promise
- OWL drone is a great addition

Cons:
- The potential and ambition shown in Chapter 2 is never built upon
- To much reliance on wave-based padding in the game's second half

Killzone: Shadow Fall is a pretty game, gorgeous even. But the demand for moments to punctuate trailers or demos forced a sacrifice of story that it never quite recovers from. The OWL will find its place in history as one of the few controller-based mechanics to actually entertain, while the time...
Pros:
- Like most set-piece-based shooters released over the past five years, Shadow Fall knows exactly how gorgeous it can be
- Guerrilla Games' in-house Umbra3 engine is put to some serious stress tests here, with a story packed with explosions and scenic vistas.
Cons:
- Even with all of the god rays and water effects, Killzone: Shadow Fall is not a perfect visual package
- Dust particles flow charmingly through the air up close, but from a distance look like a hive of buzzing insects.

Killzone: Shadow Fall Review
Shadow Fall represents the Killzone series' coming-out party – out from being a plodding, gray war shooter through hours of bland, linear corridors. Now, it's something else entirely.
Pros:
- Stunning graphics
- Reworked gameplay
- Fun multiplayer
Cons:
- Occasionally poor enemy AI
- Questionable non-shooter sections

Killzone: Shadow Fall
It must have seemed impossible at the time when Sony contacted Guerrilla and asked them to work on a sequel to Killzone 3 on PlayStation 4. They were given two years and a fairly modest budget of just under £30 million (modest compared other massive projects that is).

Sure, Killzone: Shadow Fall has its lulls, but it's a mostly enjoyable experience from start to finish. This is no doubt the PlayStation 4's strongest exclusive launch title.
Pros:
- Excellent gunplay and ocassional open-ended mission structure
- Surprisingly powerful campaign moments
- Well-crafted multiplayer offering
Cons:
- Main characters are often unconvincing
- Some levels feel too constricting
- Actions of AI soldiers are sometimes questionable
