Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4) Review
Let's get something out of the way real quick: I'm awful at FPS games. I mean, just terrible. I grew up in an era when a "shooter" meant you held the Nintendo Zapper in your hand, or pumped quarters into a machine that let you use the revolver on coin-op Hogan's Alley.

Pros:
- It's jaw-dropping gorgeous
- has a really unique and fun implementation of the touchpad
- and
- like its predecessors

Cons:

- unintuitive objectives

Killzone: Shadow Fall
Very few games have had a history as colorful as Killzone . Originally touted as a Halo killer for the PlayStation 2, the game had no chance to live up to the hefty standards given to it. It was an average shooter, though that's not what was expected of it, and was therefore considered a flop.

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 Review
At times, the Killzone franchise has felt like a totally unnecessary set of games, purely created as an attempt to rival Halo, then continued more out of spite than success. Does " Killzone: Shadow Fall " fall into the same traps or revitalise a tired series?

Killzone: Shadowfall Review
If Guerrilla Games was tasked with the simple objective of creating a showpiece game for the PlayStation 4, they've done so. It offers a taste of what is possible on the new hardware from a graphical fidelity perspective.
