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.

Absolutely gorgeous visuals - the best-looking game on the PS4 at launch by far; multiplayer is great fun; a good variety of gameplay styles

Pedestrian single-player campaign that is good but not spectacular; over-use of lens flare effects to criminal levels

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.

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

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

Killzone Shadow Fall is the latest installment in the Killzone Series, Shadow Fall is a PS4 exclusive title that was released as one of the PS4's release titles. 25 years after the events of Killzone 3, the Helgans have moved into the planet Vekta and we follow Shadow Marshal Lucas Kellan and his...

As one of the PS4's launch titles Killzone: Shadowfall does a decent job of showing what your new console is capable of. Graphically you can't really fault it, the engine does a great job of keeping up at frantic times, but some of the game design leaves a bad taste.

Fantastic game, with excellent graphics and gameplay. Multiplayer is a lot of fun.

Killzone has been a franchise thats had its ups and downs. While not every title in the series has been an outstanding critical success it's at least fair to say that over the years improvements have been made.

Pros: Killer graphics Cons: As generic as every no frill shooters out there Fall asleep playing this game I preordered this the first day the PS4 and this game was announced. The game surely delivered the next gen graphics. Gameplay wise it was lacking.

Absolutely the best graphics showcased on the PS4 so far, Fun campaign and Action Packed Multiplayer! You cannot go wrong with this game.

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...
