Killzone Shadow Fall - Review
First things first - if you only buy one game to show off your new PlayStation 4 , make it Killzone Shadow Fall . The latest in Guerrilla Games' series of science-fiction shooters is a graphical wonder that really has the next-gen difference, and from a technical point of view it's head and...
Pros:
- A true next-gen graphical showcase that will have you gasping in wonder
- Strong
- substantial campaign mode with huge levels and tactical depth
- Solid and highly customisable multiplayer
Cons:
- Doesn't quite deliver on the promise of its early levels
- Storyline is quite dour and not as smart as it seems to think it is
- Some turret and sky-diving set-pieces are frustrating and badly designed

Killzone: Shadow Fall review
The Killzone series has been important to Sony and its PlayStation line. The first arrived on PlayStation 2, almost as an answer to Microsoft and Bungie's Halo for the original Xbox, and there have been iterations for every subsequent console, including the PSP and PS Vita.
Pros:
- Absolutely gorgeous visuals - the best-looking game on the PS4 at launch by far
- multiplayer is great fun
- a good variety of gameplay styles
Cons:
- Pedestrian single-player campaign that is good but not spectacular
- over-use of lens flare effects to criminal levels

Killzone 4: Shadow Fall
Killzone: Shadow Fall is a beautiful-looking game and the perfect visual showcase for the PS4's hardware. The DualShock 4 controller support gives us a promising look at how other PS4 games can embrace the touchpad and speaker features as well. As shooters go, it's a solid effort.
Pros:
- Stunning in 1080p HD
- Great shooting mechanics
- Interesting DualShock 4 support
Cons:
- Ambitious storyline not perfectly executed
- Easy to get lost in the more open levels
- Average voice dialogue

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4) - Review
The PlayStation 4 is finally here and everyone is wondering what that one exclusive title is that'll make it worth the purchase. No, Resogun doesn't count because it's not a retail release! Duh!

Killzone: Shadow Fall
PlayStation devotees know exactly what Killzone is – a solid if unspectacular first-person shooter franchise – right? Not any more. Shadow Fall ups the ante so effectively that, at last, a Killzone game can be described as spectacular, and it does so by ripping out everything from its previous...

Killzone: Shadow Fall Showcases the PS4's Technical Power – Review
Microsoft has Halo and Sony has Killzone. Fans of either franchise will of course argue that one is better than the other, but that's besides the point. Both ...

- AI can be dumb at times

Killzone: Shadow Fall is as Bland as Eating a Plate of Sponges
Shadow Fall demonstrates that Guerilla Games still has no real idea how to take their fabulous game universe and make a compelling shooter out of it.
Pros:
- The graphics are pretty and suitably next gen
Cons:
- The gameplay is still mired in 2004

Killzone: Shadow Fall
Killzone has become, over its nine years, part of the PlayStation's heritage. Since its origins on PlayStation 2, it has spawned onto five different versions of Sony's machines, three console and two handheld, and with each release it's steadily improved and refined its recipe.
Pros:
- Tactical combat as to its FPS core
- Stunning visuals
- Great dialogue & voice acting
- Occasional poor mission scripting
- Weak plot
- Periods of frustrating difficulty

Shadow Fail
HIGH The multiplayer can provide good times, though the campaign doesn't. LOW The sadistically awful freefall section littered with instant death moments. WTF Why can the protagonist suddenly fire rockets out of his face whilst airborne?
Pros:
- The multiplayer can provide good times
- though the campaign doesn't
Cons:
- The sadistically awful freefall section littered with instant death moments
