Killzone: Shadow Fall Review – PlayStation 4
Killzone: Shadow Fall has the luxury of being the only exclusive FPS launch title for either of the new consoles releasing this holiday season, but it is not without its competition.- Positives Amazing visuals and clever use of DualShock 4 features
- Negatives Ambiguous story
- unclear gameplay objectives
- and god-like enemy AI quickly sap the fun from this by-the-numbers FPS
Killzone: Shadow Fall Review (PS4)
Killzone: Shadow Fall is a fun first-person shooter that more than shows off the power of the PlayStation 4 next-gen console. It looks great, its action is quite varied, and it offers players a lot of choices in terms of the online multiplayer.
Killzone: Shadow Fall review
When the PlayStation 4 was announced, it was the Shadow Fall video that had me most excited out of any of the games they showed off back in February. The opening sequence of the single-player campaign does two things - it shows off how impressive the PS4 is with amazing graphics, and how poorly...
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?- The multiplayer can provide good times
- though the campaign doesn't
- The sadistically awful freefall section littered with instant death moments
Killzone: Shadow Fall Review
I've always felt a little sorry for the Killzone series, forced to live in the shadow of its over-achieving, glory-loving, media-whoring cousin, Halo. It's not that Killzone is a markedly inferior series – the gunplay has always been tight, and its devil-eyed, space-Nazis are some of the coolest...
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 ...- Very tight controls
- Fantastic graphics that really showcase the PS4's potential
- New stealth mechanics give the game greater depth
- Kind of dull plot
- On-screen text is too small and difficult to read
- Using touchpad is frustrating and confusing
- 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.- The graphics are pretty and suitably next gen
- 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.- Tactical combat as to its FPS core
- Stunning visuals
- Great dialogue & voice acting
- Occasional poor mission scripting
- Weak plot
- Periods of frustrating difficulty
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 (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!
