If the term ‘mixed-bag' hadn't been invented yet, it's precise meaning would have been defined forever more as ‘Killzone: Shadow Fall.' As in, ‘the film was pretty funny but my god were the action sequences awful, it was a bit of a Killzone: Shadow Fall.'

Awesome sound; At times stunning to look at; Satisfying combat

Repetitive levels; OWL not used enough; Not enough original ideas

In its attempt to iterate on Killzone trademarks, Shadow Fall comes up short of greatness, but has enough tight action and expanded lore to please series enthusiasts.

Visceral; polished shooting; Breathtaking graphics and art direction; Well-realized setting and universe

Vague level design with poor signposting; Lonely single-player missions; Flight and freefall sections

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.

Excellent gunplay and ocassional open-ended mission structure; Surprisingly powerful campaign moments; Well-crafted multiplayer offering

Main characters are often unconvincing; Some levels feel too constricting; Actions of AI soldiers are sometimes questionable

Best killzone game so far. I've played them all. This one has the best game play and graphics. A little bit more thought needs to go into online play.

good graphics

online play

This is a very intense first-person shooter. I've been a COD player for quite sometime and Killzone: Shadow fall is my first introduction to the Killzone franchise.There are a few basic instructions during the earlier levels, but after that you're on your own.

Challenging; Fun To Play; Good Audio; Graphics; Multiplayer

Poor Instructions

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

it was excellent & i enjoy the game i love ps4

Guerrilla Games' Killzone franchise of first-person shooters have become the hardcore flagpole for Sony-friendly gun fans, spanning six entries in a carnage-heavy series sometimes subtitled 'Nazis in space'.

Next-gen visuals; Varied action; Nice multiplayer ideas

Dull story; Poor signposting

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.

Stunning in 1080p HD; Great shooting mechanics; Interesting DualShock 4 support

Ambitious storyline not perfectly executed; Easy to get lost in the more open levels; Average voice dialogue

Killzone Shadow Fall is a polished first-person shooter that delivers beautiful visuals, a killer multiplayer mode and some top-class moments in its campaign. But, possibly as a side effect of having to meet the PS4 launch deadline, the game falls short of true greatness.

Incredible next-gen visuals; Open-ended campaign missons; The Warzone multiplayer mode

The campaign's disappointing final third; Few distinctive weapons; Overly large multiplayer maps
