Killzone: Shadow Fall review
Killzone: Shadow Fall offers up incredible presentation and a better-than-average campaign narrative that's unfortunately more boring to play than it should be. The exciting multiplayer mode injects some greatness into an ultimately good game.

Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer review
Shadow Fall's multiplayer singlehandedly makes it a worthwhile purchase. A couple of things keep the mode from being truly great, but given the state of the competition this year, Killzone's multiplayer deserves to carve a wider niche.
Pros:
- Outstanding map design
- Warzone mode has been updated and is still glorious
- Visually impressive, despite motion blur effects
Cons:
- No voice chat
- No clan support
- A very strange revive mechanic
- Hideous interface
- Too much anti-aliasing

Killzone: Shadow Fall
These days, it's kind of unreasonable to expect a killer app to release alongside next-generation hardware. It just doesn't happen anymore. What you usually end up with is a handful of quick and dirty ports of titles that have already been out for a while.

Launch title for the PlayStation 4. Part of the long running and popular Killzone series Emphasis on more open world and stealth style gameplay. Amazing graphics that really show off what the latest generation has to offer. Use new weapons and your OWL tool to your advantage.
Pros:
- Shows off the PS4 potential – New stealth elements with more open worlds – Hard hitting story
Cons:
- Campaign doesn't really offer much

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

Not for the average Killzone fan
I have gone back and played every game in the Killzone franchise while I have been waiting in anticipation for the PS4 to come out. Each game had its pros and cons but I found myself enjoying them and the story very much.

Killzone Shadow Fall Review
The first truly next generation shooter is here. Killzone Shadow Fall builds on its predecessors, advancing the same story after a time jump taking us decades later. The Vektan and Helghast now neighbour each other, living in a delicately-balanced harmony.
Pros:
- An engaging story
- with some incredible set-pieces
- Visuals are truly next-generation
- with some superb effects
- Evolves the Killzone formula with a fantastic new world
- Shooting mechanics remain weighty
- solid and fun
- A lot of customisation in the solid multiplayer component
Cons:
- Story doesn't explore issues which the setting demands
- Open area levels are poorly executed
- with tedious gameplay and archaic design
- HUD and lighting effect issues
- Multiplayer brings unwelcome changes to points and rank systems
