    My first Killzone game. Look amazing, but gameplay is not good. Story line is average without one exciting moment.
    MP have a lot of skills, which spoils fun ( flying drones, turrets a lot of others... )

    7.5 is my "honest" score. It's a decent, albeit run-of-the-mill and somewhat forgettable, FPS. Single player is fun, but short; MP is well-done.

I guess this is what's to be expected from a launch game. In the paltry selection of PS4 launch titles, it's probably one of your top three choices if you're getting a console on launch day. Expand

    Decent but nothing special really. Standard, immemorable shooter with a nice premise but bad story. The multiplayer is better than the single player but not even that will be remembered for very long. The graphics are very good but with the power of the PS4, games are going to start looking even much better than this.

    honestly though, my first thoughts after loading up the game were my pc could have done this 4 years ago easily... haha. i hope the new architecture helps ports go over to pc easier. the console is decent, and the game is ok, but i will probably end up selling the console down the line and sticking to pc.

    curiosity got the best of me really. if you have lots of friends that play games on ps4 though, it might be a lot more fun for you. that's a big part in the equation for multiplayer.

    2. The O.W.L. Controlling your own drone is fantastically fun. The O.W.L. is the most creative and engaging component of the entire game.
    3. Tight shooting, solid AI. I've always thought the AI enemies in the Killzone games are among the smartest you can find; aware, quick to find cover and aggressive.
    The Bad:
    1. It's boring Killzone continues the series' tradition of creating characters and story-lines I don't care about.
    2. Lack of guns, gadgets, and progression. Guns are boring and limited, Tech has some highlights but is overall un-imaginative.
    Overall- it's a must own for PS4-early adopters, but this game will quickly fade into mediocrity as the PS4 library is established.

    The game also wants you to puzzle trough some mission, but it not brain cracking what so ever. These puzzles let you walk the map from front to back and so on. It feels like a cheap way to extend the game.

    One of the first thing I noticed that the players point of view is so damn low that you have the feeling you are a midged. Everyone in this game (npc's) are at least a head higher than the player. You can't look on top of they're shoulders.

    The A.I. almost made me cry... They are more retarded then a goldfish with brain damage. They most of the time run around like some wild dogs that want to get shot.

    So is this game that bad? No it's not awefull but has a lot of flaws. Specially in the singleplayer campain. The multiplayer has enough content to keep you satisfied for a few months. It plays great and looks good. Only downside is that it's extreem slow paced. If you are used to a COD or Battlefield you have the feeling this multiplayers runs in slowmotion.

I would compare them to medium-high with some AA on a gaming pc. The in game sound is a little sub par and the voice acting was terrible. Don't let the open level talk fool you. This game is on rails. The check point system will break immersion due to changing your weapon load out in the middle of a chapter.

    With all that said I did enjoy playing this game and retiring my PS3 with no regrets. For a launch game I am pleased because future iterations of PS4 games will only get better.

    However, while it has a lot of bad aspects, it also offers a lot of good. Such as great multi-player, a solid single player campaign and a fairly solid story to go with it.

    Also, Killzone offers some great weapons and gadgets to play with.

    Its just a shame, because with just a little more time and polish, it could have meant the difference between a good game and a great game.

    Unfortunately Killzone remains the former.

The plot itself is decent, however poorly executed. If you asked me to tell you what happened, I simply wouldn't be able to tell you because the storytelling is so unbelievably poor that it completely fails to convey what's going on at the end of the day it feels like a chain of disjointed missions with some reoccurring characters. The gameplay itself is decent, the characters aren't as snappy or responsive as they could be, but no worse than any other Killzone title in that respect either. Tools like the Owl, as well as many of the multiplayer perks help keep things interesting, but they fail to use any of these gadgets in a particularly creative way. The singleplayer campaign itself is around 10 hours long on hard at a guess, which is a fair bit longer than your average FPS these days, and the graphics are incredible and the level design is generally very good. Unfortunately, there ain't much re-playability here as there's no co-op, no higher difficulty etc if your first playthrough was on hard, bar trophy grinding, there really isn't any reason to play through again. The multiplayer is also decent, there's plenty of interesting perks and abilities, but a great number of the weapons are dull and samey, and the multiplayer gameplay despite it's creative intentions just end up being frag matches at certain map choke points. There are bots you can play against, but they're the equivalent of a practice mode in that you can't do any challenges or unlock anything while fighting against them, so they're not really useful to the average antisocial gamer. The last of a third mode outside of singleplayer and multiplayer limits the value of this game as well. While many games will have a third, like horde mode, or zombies, or something like that, all this has is SP and MP. Nothing else. I think at the end of the day though, Shadowfall is an essential title for your new PS4. Why? Because it's absolutely gorgeous if you want something to show off exactly what your new machine can do, this is the best looking console game to date bar nothing, and for that reason, an excellent title for anybody looking to see what their new hardware can do just don't expect a great game Shadowfall is just decent.

    The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is decent, the multiplayer is fun to an certain degree. But without a level progression system it kinda lacks desire to play. Is it worth $60? No. perhaps $30 to $40, but that is it.

First the graphics, Killzone Shadow Fall looks incredible, easily the most the beautiful game I've played, from sprawling, bright vistas to dingy, dark and narrow corridors this game never fails to amaze. The story is very deep with plenty of lore but fails to fully engage due to weak and somewhat predictable plot points and an uninspired protagonist in Lucas Kellan. The gameplay is stronger than most other linear FPS games such as the COD franchise due to some unique new features such as the owl which is a cool little flying robot which you can use in either in offensive or defensive ways during combat. Deciding what you would like the Owl to do is done using the dualshock 4's touchpad. You also have the ability to scan an area before entering to locate the position of enemies which allows you to set up how you want to enter a situation wether it be stealthily or guns blazing both are enjoyable and satisfying. The voice acting is passable but doesn't impress and unfortunately the lip syncing is poor which distracts from the game's beauty at times. Towards the end of the game the gameplay starts to feel like a grind and the story was the only thing that kept me going.

    The multiplayer is a very enjoyable experience with tight and intense gameplay and uses a game mode that is unique to the Killzone series called warzones which combines multiple game modes into one match and also allows you to create your own games which lets you tailor the game modes to what you feel like playing at the time.

    Overall Killzone Shadow Fall is a good game but not great. At times it feels like a tech demo, showing off what the PS4 can do and it succeeds at this. Killzone Shadow Fall's single player campaign is enjoyable enough but the multiplayer presents the lasting value. Killzone Shadow Fall shows off the potential of the PS4 and is a fine way to kick off the next generation of gaming.

    The graphics are incredible. However, the overuse of lense flare is ridiculous taking away the realism. Why games use lense flare and motion blur is beyond me as I rarely experience it in real life. If I did as much as this game uses it I would seek out an eye doctor or get better equipment to use in combat.

    The mechanics of the game are competent and the level design is well done, low point for me is how the story just jumps around with poor linking and context.

    Over all I think Killzone Shadow fall is the game to get if you have gotten your hands on a PS4 already, the graphics will leave you in awe, high res textures, wonderful particle effects, and awesome facial expressions. The multiplayer is by far the high point in this game, (one of the most enjoyable fps multiplayer games I have played), but if that alone is enough to justify the price i'm not sure, if you play fps games on multiplayer an hour or more a day I would definitely recommend it.

    My Full Killzone Review! (Multiplayer Included) (Minimal Spoilers)

    Let me start off by saying Next Gen has finally arrived and dang it feels great! I am so excited to see what's to come of these consoles and the games that come out on them.

    Campaign:

    I started up the campaign and decide to play on normal which is what I do for almost all games I play. It gives me a happy medium of difficulty without taking away from the story. The game started up with a little video of what you have missed since the 30 years from Killzone 3. Honestly after the video I was still a little confused about what was going on. Which lets me tell you that you don't need to play the other 3 to understand this one. Once the video was over I took control of a child. I was in what appeared to be my house and was looking out a window at the Helghast detaining people and moving them into a cage. I turn and look to my left and see a man which appears to be my father. He calls me Lucas and informs me that we need to go and that we can only take what we need. He keeps telling me we will be safe once we get to the other side of the wall. As we move out of my room the front door starts rattling with forceful Knocks. The person on the otherwise of the door keep yelling, "Open Up!" My dad says, We have to move now!" You spend a good amount of time working your way to the wall trying not to get caught.

    After some unfortunate events that occur you soon start playing as the grown up version of the Lucas. I'd say he is now in his mid twenties. You are the youngest to be accepted into the Shadow Marshall and are proven to be a real asset to the raging war. I now realize that we are in a constant war with the Helghast. The people on the other side of the wall (YOU) are called Vekten. We supposedly took their planet from them and they want it back.

    While playing through the game I didn't feel very attached to the story. It seemed pointless at times and sometimes just to many errands to run before I could leave an area. It got a little repetitive in the sense you always had to go turn this off or destroy this. What didn't help any is that the A.I. Was horrid and acted so dumb. It wasn't until around chapter 6 where the story got a little better and tried to recover from the rocky start. It however was too late to save it. Towards the end of the game I just wanted to be done with it so I could say I beat it.

    Once I completed Chapter 9 I thought the game was over. The credits started rolling and I was left confused and frustrated. I felt like I did all this work and achieved nothing. Then all of the sudden the credits got hacked and I was back in for Chapter 10. I must say I was relieved that it didn't end the way I thought it did.

    All in all the story wasn't half bad but at the same time wasn't anything to run home about. It really had trouble keeping me involved and interested which left me feeling bored throughout the game. It had its moments but not enough to keep the story alive.

    Graphics:

    Not much needs to be said here. The graphics were on par and probably some of the best I've seen for any game. It seems like they spent a lot of time perfecting the lighting and the detail to the objects and environment. I could easily tell this was a true next gen game.

    A few things I noticed is it had some slight frame rate issues when the environment was collapsing. Also I noticed when you looked out yonder it was very pixelated and smeared together. Now the only thing that bugged me was the cut scenes looked worse the the actual gameplay. I have never seen anything like this. It is usually the exact opposite. I don't understand how this happened but it seemed like they rushed them. They were clunky and not very well put together.

    Other then those few things I was impressed with the detail and it blows my mind that this is the first game out on the console. I can't wait to see how they improve and polish. I believe we can get even better looking titles.

    Gameplay:

    This is were the game lacked. It had so many problems that it felt like a drag just to play. I had so many times were I had to reload checkpoints because I would get stuck or things wouldn't happen that were supposed to happen.

    Don't even get me started on the A.I.! They were horrible and quite frankly unacceptable. This is a next gen game... Why are the A.I. some of the worst I have ever seen. It seems like to me they spent all their time on the graphics and not a lot of time on anything else. This is no way of launching a title to start off the next generation of gaming. Let me give you an example of how bad these A.I. were. I happened to be sneaking around from cover to cover and accidentally walked right out in front of 3 enemies. I literally froze and waited for them to shoot my face in. One of them said, "I think I see something." The other 2 are oblivious to what is going on. He sits there and moves his body from left to right as if he was trying to see better. Now at this point I think to myself, why haven't I died yet. I am standing 5 feet from 3 enemies in plain sight and they can't see me? Just an FYI it was not at all dark. I was outside in the beaming sun standing right in front of these 3 Helghast. I decide to test my luck and melee the first enemy. Once again the other 2 are oblivious to what is happening. I then shoot the other 2 and somehow make it out of there without a bullet being shot at me. Now this wasn't the only time this happened. They either were really blind or could see you across the map. It got really annoying and made me rage a few times.

    Now here is something that really bugged me as well. Why the heck aren't we allowed to activate the flashlight on your gun or suit? Most of the time I would be in an area that is pitch black and is almost impossible to navigate. I had to turn up my gamma so much just to see that it made the graphics look bad. Sometimes your objective marker wouldn't even show up so you would have to roam around until you found the right way which was very hard to do in the dark.

    Multiplayer:

    When I went to the multiplayer menu I noticed there wasn't any customization tab for your character or a load out menu or anything. I decided to just jump in a match. It automatically put me in with some random class. I then found out I could pause the game and change my class. They had a bunch of random classes but none that you could make on you own. Also I noticed after playing a few matches that there wasn't any progressive leveling system. It was just accomplish certain challenges. I didn't really like the whole multiplayer layout. However the gameplay was smooth and the graphics were just as good as the campaign and that is something you don't see everyday. They had a couple game mode but not enough to keep me interested. I got bored of the multiplayer fast. I decided to go back and play the Campaign again.

    Conclusion:

    In the end the game was just alright. It had its ups and downs. The only thing that this game really shines in is the graphics. I would recommend this game if you were renting it or if the price comes down. I wouldn't spend $65 on it. However if you dying for a game to play on the next gen then by all means have at it. It isn't a terrible choice.

    Verdict: 1-10 (10 Being The Best)

    Campaign 7
    Graphics 9
    Gameplay 6
    Multiplayer 5

    Average Score 6.75

    Second Look:
    I decided to play the campaign through again but this time on Hard difficulty. I liked it a lot better. The A.I. Was slightly better and it was actually fun and challenging at the same time. Final Score: 7.5

    The start of Killzone: Shadowfall should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the rest of the game. The visuals are beautiful overall, and often even breathtaking.

The gameplay is solid, (although there were two spots in particular where I was meant to use the zipline to progress, but the game wouldn't let me equip it for some reason, but more on that later...) And I also think that most of the guns feel like they lack any punch. My main problems with the game come in the form of story and voice acting. And the super generic feel. (It almost feels like the lovechild of a Killzone and Halo game.) The story is one we've heard a million times and even the plot twists where expected. I would nominate the the voice actors for Kellan, Echo, Sinclair, and Massar for the "Worst Voice Acting Ever in a Triple A Title" Award. Massar was especially poorly delivered. The acting wasn't unbearable, but I expected more out of a game that is so sexy graphically in contrast. Overall, I definitely recommend playing it because while I had my problems with it, it was fun. Just not as believable or immersive (yes, I know immersive isn't a real word but I think you know what I'm saying) as it might have been with better performances. Expand

    Shadowfall hits all the high points you expect for a launch title. And some of the lows. It's a technical showcase that's for sure. Smokes every next gen offering I've seen so far. The music is really well done and the sound is above average. Enemy AI is hit or miss. Sometimes they really come after you, other times they kind of stand around and wait to be shot or in most cases shanked.Shadowfall hits all the high points you expect for a launch title.

The levels seem like they were designed with a stealth component taken highly into consideration but it's never really used. The enemies seem to detect you really quickly and with no silenced weapon other than your knife, it's next to impossible to sneak around much. I actually liked the story a lot. It suffered from not being fleshed out enough. The characters were begging for their stories to be told, but the devs at Guerrilla only touched on them. Make no mistake, SF is a solid game. It just needed that little nudge here and there to make it a really great game. Expand

The city is beautiful with all of its ships and shiny buildings. The AI are smart and will kill you if you treat this like a traditional first person shooter. the combat is great. the runs all look amazing although some look and feel to similar for my taste, There is also not much variety in the guns. Your character has a drone with some abilities that you will only ever need to use once. There is only one real boss fight and it is just decent. Its tough at first but I was still able to beat it in one try.

    The campaign isnt perfect. like i said they take what chances they get into showing off the graphics and the power of the console. but in doing so they took focus off some of the missions. there is one mission where you and a few other soldiers are fighting off waves of enemies untill someone can get a ship prepared for your escape. well You really dont have to do much defending, there are weapons layed out that are pretty over powered and the enemies dont exactly do any hardcore rushing, sure there are some that do it but they are easy to pick off. There's actually an area that you can sit where the enemies will sit around you, shoot at you, but they wont hit you or advance at you. that level wasn't to thrilling. The AI is smart usually but in that mission they decided to derp out.

    I was almost disappointed with the ending, until one other thing happened. No spoilers but you will be pleasantly surprised with the final part

    Now for multiplayer. I have one way of summing it up. It felt like crisis. That's about it. if you like crisis you like this game. I was kinda hoping for something that felt completely different. you dont earn any of the guns, you just earn gear for them. then your gear slots for drones and deployable turrets and other stuff has everything unlocked as well. but you can level up the gear. The class with the LMG's are over powered imo because you get a giant attack drone that will demolish an unsuspecting team, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN IT! I literally wait for the enemy team to come out of there spawn and have my drone placed at their spawn. they get destroyed every time.

    Overall I really enjoyed the game, but future games will need some improvement. the graphics are great, but lets get some gameplay that knocks the competition out.

    Warning. Do NOT determine your purchase on one mans opinion, preferals and reviews. This review contains somewhat harsh feedback but i enjoy this game to an extend and would not regret my 60 euro purchase if i didn't get it as a birthday present.

    Killzone Shadow fall is a good game, but as a big Killzone fan it pains me to admit this game is overall the least impressive game in the franchise. The talented FPS developer Guerrilla finally went to the right direction with the story but failed to deliver what it was supposed to become and brought us an underdeveloped story with even less likeable characters than in the previous games with sometimes silly voice acting. Whats worse is the flawed game design, a.i, confusing empty open levels, broken stealth elements during the campaign.

    The Multiplayer design is great and you can see developers like Eric Boltjes did their best to listen to fan feedback ad much as possible by making it more teambased than killzone 3. Sadly, the overall dramaticly changed art design and set pieces, which always made the franchise distinct from the typical generic shooters just made it lose its identity and soul.

    Contrary to previous killzones, Shadow fall has a more arcady feel, uninspiring looking weapons, gun sounds and sounds of explosions that sound more like arcade machines, rather than feeling like you're on an actual futuristic warfield. Overall, this is a decent, yet the in my opinion best MP shooter that launched up until Titanfall but this is a terrible changd for Killzone fans. For me, Killzone Shadow Fall is an ok, pretty fun Multiplayer shooter with the name Killzone attached to it and the overall change of pace, set pieces and art direction made it lose its Soul.

    I really want to see another Killzone game but an actual sequel to Killzone 2 and 3. More colours are fine but please Guerrilla keep the same set pieces and pacing and overall art design and weight the fanbase expected from a Killzone game instead of focussing on a on existent fanbase.

    Pros
    Beautiful visuals
    Very Solid, fun, team oriented multiplayer!

    Cons
    Very Disappointing and frustrating second half of the campaign
    Underdeveloped Story and Characters
    Uninspiring weapons
    No epic gun sounds and sounds from explosions
    Lacking the epic set pieces and living environment that was present in the Multiplayer in Killzone 3. (My biggest issue)

    Killzone Shadow Fall has a lot of design flaws and changes that are less appealing to many, but fortunately for the team oriented MP fanatics, the Multiplayer is impressive to say at least and a lot of fun once you addapt.

    Based on my experience i give Killzone Shadow Fall a 7.5/10.

Guerilla accepted the honor of having Killzone Shadow Fall be a launch title for the PS4 to showcase the power of its graphics. It is a very visually stunning game, probably one of the most beautiful I've played to date. You may even forget that you're playing a shooter with the gorgeous backgrounds. However, being a launch title also meant the game was rushed and lacked content at launch. Initially, warzones had very limited options which impacted the game with negative reviews and a low playerbase. While there have been numerous improvements, the damage had already been done. I just picked up a copy of the game cheap and the numbers in multiplayer are still low. I feel like Guerilla focused too much on the number of weapons available and weapon attachments instead of focusing on gameplay. They also left out four important classes from the previous 2 games, the medic, the engineer, the tactician and the infiltrator. Instead they rolled three of those classes into the support class and the infiltrator returned as the insurgent, but it was no where near as good as the originals. Killzone 2 was fun. There were enough weapons and you could mix and match abilities with each class to play how you wanted to play. It was 32 player online which meant constant action. There was always a fight going on somewhere. Killzone 3 and SF were rather dull in that regard. Also, you could do some real damage with rockets and the grenade launcher in Killzone 2. That was blast, pun intended. You also got a grenade count of three. You can get extra throwables in SF, but you have to buy them with valor as a boost and it only lasts one round. I also didn't like how I had to press right on the D-Pad to use stun blast. This felt awkward as you have to momentarily stop moving your toon to use the stun blast ability which leaves you vulnerable to attack. Multiplayer is about speed and mobility and you can't afford to stop moving even for a second. I haven't played the campaign mode so I can't review the game there. My primary focus is multiplayer. However, I have heard that it's not that good. From what I do know about the story, Helghan has become a lifeless rock which is uninhabitable. The Helghast were granted half of Vekta as their new home to make up for the atrocity committed during the war. I had hoped for something different at the end of Killzone 3. I was hoping the war would go to Earth and we'd get a Helghast campaign. Instead we got a story that made little sense. There's no way the VSA would allow the Helghast onto their homeworld because the two factions were bitter enemies. The original Killzone had the best story with Templar, Luger, Haaka, and Rico. Killzone 2 was OK, and Killzone 3 was more about Hollywood style action. I hope that we get a better Killzone 5 or a reboot of the series that picks up where Killzone 2 left off and does away with 3 and SF. I still gave the game an 8 though because the graphics are great, the music is good, the gameplay isn't as good as KZ2 but it's above average and has marked improvements in the series. The gave the support class a spawn beacon so there's no more base camping. They also give you the ability to create your own warzone. However, I still want the old 16v16 32 multiplayer back from Killzone 2. There were no lag issues with 32 players. Expand

Now, to look at the multiplayer, one of the best in this series. I played killzone 3 multiplayer extensively on the ps3, enough to understand how these games work. This game provides 0 aim assist, and on console, it can be very difficult. But the experience I had with the multiplayer was great, it's what saves this game. Also the free dlc maps from the developer helps, wish we would see that more. Expand

    Whilst the graphics are truly stunning and worthy of Next-Gen, the games story mode is slightly lacking in atmosphere. The online side of the game has a whole branch of positives, but ultimately flows in a style I found slightly unrewarding. Despite such factors, I found myself gripped at times by what was on screen.

This, for me, means that in terms of story I found it was slightly less interesting but the gameplay is quite similar to the other killzones which is good. Summarising here, I’d say is fun to play with a plot that gives you and excuse but won’t surprise you.

    Graphics and sound are pretty good with some scenarios that will let you “wow, this is good”, but it is not as amazing as some game magazines say. It is good but just that, good. I have to say that the level design is excellent though, the scenarios are quite big and in a lot of situations, they give you the chance of addressing a situation in several different ways.

    Overall, I’d say is a good shooter, not great, there’s much better stuff out there but you’ll have some decent fun playing the campaign.

    This game is made by the good people of Guerrilla Games. They are only known for the Killzone series. Now some people may know and you will find out know I loved the **** out of Killzone 3 so I was proper excited for this game. Sadly I can say I was rather disappointed with the result of Killzone Shadow Fall.

    The story is a direct sequel to Killzone 3. Helghan is destroyed and the Helghast are now living on Vekta good ole Berlin wall style. You play Lucas Kellan, who was being violently kicked out of New Helghan. After seeing your father shot in front of you. Many years later you become a Shadow Marshall, which is a fancy title for special forces. The rest of the game is you behind enemy lines investigating or hunting down targets. The game has almost none of the original characters from the series being that this all takes place 20 years after Killzone 3. So no more bromance from Sev and Rico, know this game lacks the Bro that the shooter series previously had. I also must say a change they make that I do hate is that they took out the cut scenes. They technically still have "cut scenes" but they are all Call of Duty style. Those aren't bad but I did miss seeing the story being told from different points of view and not just my bland character. They also got rid of any good villains. The villains they have are your cookie cut out of what a shooter villain should be. I can't even tell you their names cause they might as well been some masked space Nazi. You character is also very bland. I felt like he was supposed to be on the set of Call of Duty and just walked onto this one. There are set pieces which I thought were good but nothing quite as amazing as Killzone 3. The ending does take a turn I didn't entirely see coming. It was actually a bit confusing until I sat and thought about it for a minute.

    The games graphics are good not blow me out of my seat fantastic just good. The environment and guns and character models in cut scenes all look great. The biggest flaw I saw in the graphics was the human faces outside of cut scenes. They weren't atrocious but in comparison to the rest of the game they didn't hold up.

    The sound was interesting. The voice acting was done well enough to get the story across. The guns and explosions all sounded fantastic. The real elephant in the room was the sound that would come from the controller. It would only come out when you picked up an audio log but it would sound so damn creepy. They weren't scary sounds just the fact that it is coming out of the controller was something I wasn't used to so it gave a ominous feel.

    Now like any game you are wondering Brandon does the gameplay. Well little one I shall tell you, it is the best controls of any of the Killzone games. The previous ones had really sensitive aiming in them which made them a bit hard to control. This one feels as good as any of the shooters today. The touchpad controls this very useful drone that can do a number of things from attacking the enemy to reviving your ass if you get downed. On normal I did feel like the challenge was perfect not too easy nor too hard. It was a perfect balance but the biggest problem I had was how the game was structured. Since you have to be this covert ops guy you don't fight in any big battles it is always you VS a group of Helghast. The problem is the entire series is about a war and what I loved about the previous two games is I felt like I was in war. This one just was copying Call of Duty Ghost with just about everything except it was set in space. You get a variety of weapons and the game changes enough to keep from ever getting repetitive so those are all pluses there.

    Now this is going to sound strange coming from me but if you own a PS4 get this game for the online. The online supports 24 players being on either the humans or space Nazis side. You start out with a butt load of different premade classes to choose from and you can customize any class to your liking. The game will have a big learning curve but from a guy who is not used to multiplayer I must say I enjoyed the **** out of this, and I wasn't half bad at it either. You do unlock more weapons and goodies but I don't see a need because the weapons they give you are badass. You get a bunch of different versions of Warzone. You get team death match, capture points, hide and seek, classic, and many more I can't think of at the time. The absolute best part of multiplayer is how it ends. It ends with what I imagine the best players on the winning team executing a member of the losing team. I see it a get all funny inside, sadly I wasn't ever one of the executioners.

    Overall the single player is a shell of what Killzone 2 and 3 were but the multiplayer is the reason to stay. Honestly it was the multiplayer that saved this game so I give it a 7/10.

The sound design is okay although the surround could be better. The gameplay is pretty much straight forward but I feel that the game is too short to make use of everything in it.

    Besides that sometimes I felt lost which is not a good sign as I do play games of different tiers on a regular basis. Details you need to spot drown in details of the world. Sometimes I just didnt know where to go or what to do. Even worse sometimes I reached the entry from behind, so there you go in terms of confusion.

    The weapons feel great although the variety lacks and some types are even recycled. So variety gets a negative from me but the weapon design, handling and shot satisfaction gets a plus. Enemy variety is also a so-so. There is a certain difference in enemies. Some are standard, some come with shield and some with energy barriers in between a are tank-like creatures and thats about it.

    The story is another "okay". Its not bad but it wont blow your mind by any means.

    Conclusion for me is that I m good with my buy for 10 bucks, although I feel I would not have missed anything if I didnt buy it. I was truly amazed by the graphical power but the rest is just too mediocre to be outstanding. If you like scifi and shooter you will probably be pleased with the 8 to 12hrs of straight gameplay.

    This was my first Killzone game and I was looking forward to trying it out. The only thing I like about this game was the opening mission. There was so much color in the first mission and it was graphically perfect. Then the rest of game you’re in dark corridors the entire time until the end of the game. Campaign was a little interesting but not much there. Gun controls were fine but not as smooth as other competitive shooter games.
