    As a killzone fan, I was disappointed by Shadow Fall. This game although fun, isn't better than killzone 2 or 3.

It isn't anything spectacular but it's still fun to play. This game is overall average at best.… Expand

    Eyecandy game without a soul. The story is awful. Characters are awful. Voice acting is a joke
    Graphics and sound are great, shooting is decent - nothing more, nothing less.

    Los gráficos son hermosos, de ahí nada mas. El sistema de disparos no se siente bien, tampoco cuando te disparan a ti mismo. El doblaje al español es malo, el funcionamiento del entorno esta mal diseñado, es fácil perderse mas aun cuando los lindos gráficos hacen que sea vital usar el sonar para ver a los enemigos, porque si no, vas a disparar mas al entorno que a los propios enemigos.

Es molesto, marea y con el tiempo te da una mala experiencia.

    Solo vale la pena si lo obtienes gratis, tal vez en los 7 días gratis del PS Now o te lo ganaste de alguna forma, si no. Mejor ni lo toques, al día de hoy hay varios fps en ps4 con hermosos gráficos Y A 60 FPS. Y lo mas importante, divertidos.    … Expand

    As a PS4 launch title, Shadow Fall was above all a graphics showcase for Sony's new powerful system. The missions are very varied, but the game is not as action-packed and fun as previous episodes in the series. Sometimes, finding the right path can be frustrating and some passages are overly difficult. The best looking episode in the series yet, but also the weakest overall.

    I really wanted to like Killzone: Shadow Fall. I went into the game with high expectations after hearing from some people it was an early gen gem. After the second mission I could tell I wouldn't be having a great experience with the game. The campaign feels like a very generic early ps3 shooter with no compelling story. The added mechanic of the robot companion felt forced and clunky.I really wanted to like Killzone: Shadow Fall.

Every time I started to enjoy parts of the game it forced me into some horrible free-fall segment which caused me to die over and over. In the end - there was some enjoyment but too many issues for me to recommend this to anyone. By far my least favorite game on PS4 to date.… Expand

They probably thought: 'The cold war was pretty interesting with spies and stuff... so let's copy it, but do it really stupid.'

    Controlling and shooting has always been a problem in the Killzone series, being at its finest in Killzone 3. So why they thought it would be a good idea to mess it up again in Killzone Shadow Fall is beyond me. The owl is interesting as a concept, but also poorly implemented.

    This game basically serves as a tech demo to the PS4 and that's about it. I give it a 6/10.    … Expand

    Single player. This has got to be the most annoying console game I've ever played. The controls are awkward, the gameplay - repetitive. I mean fighting off waves after waves after waves of the same enemies who just keep coming... Come on! It's like developers weren't allowed to play any game in the last 10 years or so... And the graphics - Uncharted 1-3 look way better than that!

    Killzone Shadow Fall is an amazing multiplayer experience, but the story is lackluster. Phenomenal graphics and shooter mechanics. Awaiting what's in store for the next installment.

    Shadow Fall is a beautiful game, but its story is bad. There isn't an Helghast Campaign, play again like an ISA operative is very boring. The scenarios are uninspired, the IA is bad, some flying moments are very nasty.

    The Multiplayer is very generic and bland, because there are only 24 players in little scenarios, not vehicles, not jet-packs, not Exos.

    Why did you want to play this game?

    Horizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games of all time. The same studio that made that game, made this game. I also really like First Person Shooters so I thought this game was going to be right up my alley. What did you not like about it? I don't know what it is about this game but it just did not click for me at all. The shooting felt off,    Why did you want to play this game?

    How much time did you put into it?

    I probably played the game for 4ish hours.

    Do you think you'll try it again at some point?

    No, this game is just not worth your or my time. There are much better options out there.    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

It's a shiny, well-polished pile of **** There are a lot of cool concepts in the game itself but every single one of them is executed horrendously. The gameplay is absolute trash; it plays like a Nintendo 64 game that has been slightly remastered (poorly) for the new gen consoles. Every chapter has something different in it, cool right? No. Every chapter introduces you to a new concept, a new way to play, and the game never tells you what to do with your new tech. Every level plays like a tutorial and never allows you to get used to any of the mechanics. There are like maybe three different weapons you can pick up off the ground but no matter what, you ALWAYS have to carry around an assault rifle that the game chooses for you, and you can't trade it for something else. I hated the damn gun, it fires fast and reloads slow so I was stuck having to use other guns to shoot, and you can only have one other gun besides the ****ty one they give you. Such a step down from the third game which allowed you an assault rifle, heavy weapon, and sidearm of your choosing. What's the justification of decreasing the player's options? Some amazing elements in K2 and K3 were removed in this game, including cover and stealth. The weapons do a lot of damage and the enemies take little before they die. It's not hard at all but every gun reloads extremely slowly which hindered my gameplay so much. I'm all for harder games that challenge your playstyle and force you to take a more methodical approach, but this is not that game. It's not a hard game, it's just designed so poorly that you're forced to keep replaying checkpoints until you're able to make up for the **** mechanics. The automatic checkpoints are unapologetically bad, forcing me to restart checkpoints with enemies directly in front of me without any ammo in my weapon. The objective markers are so lazily implemented and sometimes just don't show up at all, making this game a maze to navigate. For the first three missions, I dug it pretty well. The fourth mission wasn't too bad, and then 5-9 were absolutely abysmal. 10 was a joke. When I started playing 10 (which is a post credit scene out of left field), I thought "wow, finally. let's see what this game can do with stealth," but it got old fast. And it didn't make sense at all. Major plot hole. Which brings me to...story! What story?! What characters?! The introduction made me tear up, it was sweet and beautiful. Everything after that? The opposite. This game has the most bland story, most inconsistent gameplay, most amateur mechanics, and most reasons for people getting an Xbox to buy Halo instead. Oh, the voice acting. Honestly, so forgettable. It seems like they got the voice for "Guy in Baseball Hat" from some random movie background to play the lead. And I don't even remember the character's name. The only cool character was Ghost or whatever the girl's name was but she's just sprinkled in the game here and there with no arc. Other supporting characters pop in and out of the story but never mean anything at all. I'd be hard pressed to remember anything about this game in just a few days. There are so many times throughout the game in which you just have to press a button here, press a button there, and then do this. It doesn't feel like a game at all. Also, the button mapping is garbage and even when you remap the buttons, the on-screen instructions still use the classic controls. How could that be overlooked? Why is Circle the same button for "interact" as it is "crouch"? So many times throughout the game I would run over to adrenaline packs and try to pick them up but instead I'd just be humping the wall right in front of the pack itself. It's glitchy, sloppy, and disasterously disappointing. Abysmal, indeed.… Expand

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

Developers continue to rehash tired conceptsShadow Fall is the first game Killzone game I've played. It’s terrible. Sure it looks good, but that’s not a selling point because many games look great nowadays. Other than visuals, KSF does nothing right. Silly story. Boring combat. Bland weapons. Dumb AI. Dead multiplayer. Terrible music. Sigh. KSF is a last gen game ported over to the PS4. Developers continue to rehash tired concepts despite powerful console hardware at their disposal.

    The protagonist, Kellar, is a mindless drone killing his way to the truth. He is a super soldier with a few high tech abilities and nifty armor. The armor looks similar to the nanosuit in Crysis, but it’s all for show. I couldn’t help reminiscing about the first Crysis game I played: Crysis 2 on the Xbox 360. Unlike Shadow Fall, Crysis 2 blew me away. It launched 3 years prior to KSF on significantly weaker hardware, and Crysis does nearly everything better. It’s an impressive 360 game on many levels. Visuals are still top tier. Combat is varied and satisfying. Multiplayer is solid and criminally underrated. And that nanosuit… The hero feels like a badass because the nanosuit provides multiple tactical options to clear levels. Not Kellar however. His mobility is so limited that KSF plays like an on rails shooter. What a shame. Kellar's world is comprised of beautiful set pieces he can’t explore. Why develop such intricate levels just to lock players out?

    Visuals are solid, but that’s because the world is bathed in fancy lighting effects. Without them, things don’t look better than any other game. Lens flare and other ornamental effects are nothing more than parlor tricks. Now that consoles can push these out with relative ease, developers simply can’t control themselves. Unfortunately, KSF’s campaign performance hovers around 30fps. COD Ghosts launched at the same time and feels noticeably smoother. That’s because developer Infinity Ward focused on the 60fps benchmark. I absolutely hated Ghosts, but it feels responsive compared to KSF’s heavy controls.

    So that leads into gameplay, which is clunky and awful. Kellar constantly loses his weapons, so he is forced to improvise. All this does is force the already sluggish campaign to a crawl. These missions usually entail sneaking around areas completely devoid of people, enemies, and anything else. Exploration is nil despite all the fences, doors, airlocks, curtains, that look accessible but aren’t. Crates will be neatly stacked next to a low wall, but alas our super soldier can’t climb them. A few missions occur in a futuristic shanty town with blankets draped over doorways. Of course, Kellar can’t pass thru these indestructible cloth obstacles.

    Truth be told, the campaign is a mind-numbingly tedious slog. Most of it is spent walking around. Enemies are sparse. I’d say 70% of the game is spent not doing much of anything. When combat happens, it’s hampered by sluggish controls and predictably stupid enemy AI.

    Kellar gets a unique situational ability per level, like repelling or floating thru space or using a sniper rifle. Yawn. I’ve read comments were fans say all this “keeps things interesting”. But all that “interesting” excitement occurs in very short bursts limited to specific set pieces. Kellar got to repel. Once. OMG!! How interesting! Not. Many popular shooters (cough, COD, cough) are guilty of the same crime. They keep things simple and safe for the kiddies but throw in a cool feature or cutscene every hour or so to rope them in that much longer.

    The story is stuffed full of commentary reflecting specific contemporary events. Guerilla shamelessly thrusts political messages into gamers’ faces. At one point, I was expecting the word “privilege” to surface, but I don’t think it ever did. Guerilla addresses the pointlessness of violence while using a violent “M” rated game as the medium. How ironic? Oh wait, DICE did the same thing in Battlefield 1. Not every company needs to inject itself into the public discourse.

    The multiplayer is better than expected. It’s a ghost town these days, but enough people get on to keep things up and running. Too bad I missed out on it when it launched.

    With only a few missions to go, I encountered a game breaking glitch. I couldn’t complete a mission. After multiple failed retries, I finally consulted the almighty Google. Sure enough, KSF has bugs that can prevent players from completing the game. Three years after launch, these bugs still exist. Unfortunately, I was able to fix the glitch and complete the game.

    To conclude, Killzone Shadow Fall is a glorified tech demo with nothing to offer. Guerrilla obviously lost its way. If anything has stalled next gen innovation, it’s developers afraid to take risks. I installed Crysis 2 on my pc to cleanse myself of this awful experience. Despite its age, Crysis 2 still holds up. Buy that instead.    … Expand

    Killzone: Shadow Fall is a disappointing entry into a great PlayStation franchise. The campaign is painful to play and has some moments that make no sense.

I thought the game looked amazing, played great was exciting and innovative. I was very excited for shadowfall and soon after I got my new ps4 bought the game pretty cheap maybe $25 used at gamestop. I put the game in and immediately started hating on it comparing it to killzone 3. In addition it plays alot different than a lot of other shooters including killzone 3. When I 1st picked it up I got killed over and over. I got so frustrated and sold it condemning the game as garbage and being very public about my opinion.

    Fast forward to dec 2016 and I get a $5 coupon from gamestop to spend on something used. I see shadowfall was $10 so now I can get it for $5. I look up a few youtube gameplay videos and decided maybe I was in a bad mood that day or just into another game's charm's (I think I was all into destiny at the time). I get the game home pop it in and start on the campaign, I made a few adjustments (gamma to 85%) so I could see better, that was part of the issue last time the lighting is so good the sun was flaring in my eyes and the smoke was throwing off my depth perception (I'm old). Once that was strait and I got the controls down I was off and running. I really liked the campaign. Its beautiful, plays so tight and is very challenging. Most levels are high up in the sky and the sense of height is breath taking and nerve racking at the same time. I think the campaign is about 10 hours. Its not only shooting there are a bunch of other thing to do as well. But its a fun ride...

    Mutliplayer has 3 mode mode and is all team based, I found a games no problem with other players. Bots are available too. There is a co-op mode "dlc only" available if your interested (it's $9.99) where you and 4 players can do missions, I never played and understand I understand its dead because nobody bought it back in the day thats still playing. But there is enough game here to entertain you for quite awhile with the regular game. There is also clan mode where you can do 8vs8, 3vs3,4vs4 and so on. Very cool very underrated game.    … Expand

While this one has bettered some of the things i thought the original had faulted with, it still does a poor job of creating a truly "next gen" experience.

    There were a lot of frustrating moments in the game that served little more then a test of patience. Also for an odd design choice the starting rifle you start with cannot be dropped. If you play on any of the higher difficulties and use the weapon a lot you will be finding yourself stuck with one empty weapon and struggling to find another weapon to use for the next wave of enemies.

    Killzone has the illusion of a good weapon variety, but you'll mostly only come across Heligan weapons and most of them just feel the same. I would go from rifle to rifle, and without maybe the difference in attachments (grenade launcher, scope, ect) the guns just felt the same.

    The story it self is engaging enough, but feel lack luster compared to other modern shooters. It kept me going but of course the end left me in a "wtf just happened" moment" and a sequelbait ending. The opening of the game does a well enough job to set up the game so that you don't have to play the previous 3 games to understand what is going on, but the reason that the Heligan are on the IAS home world is just baffling.

    Overall it is slightly above average as far as other modern shooters that are available. If you love FPS games and want to see what type of graphics the PS4 can do then it might be worth a buy at its reduced price.    … Expand

You just can't empathize with space Nazis. Maybe you will feel bad for the civilians who have to live in the space Nazi side of the planet, but their plight is the fault of the space Nazis. A poor story alone has never ruined an otherwise fun game. Too bad Shadowfail has frustrating, outdated gameplay. Perhaps I was put off by the not 1, not 2, but at least 4 tutorials in the game. Grenades take 10 seconds to throw, and you will be killed by enemy fire before you can throw one. Enemies have X-Ray binocular vision and have no problem shooting a moving target and making cover is almost worthless. The levels themselves are made non-sensical by arbitrary use of fences or piles of rubble. At least 25% of the game is spent looking for the waypoint. One frustrating set of levels uses the same non-sensical logic puzzle. You need to disable sentry devices in the same way. Moving forward, however, has nothing to do with disabling the sentries devices themselves. The same is true of missions where you have to defend a position while you wait for a computer to activate or an aircraft to land. The event only occurs when all enemies are elimited. Other portions of the game are nearly broken, with one boss fight going far too long when the invisible boss went missing for several minutes.

    Shadowfail may have decent multiplayer, but I will never know. The on-line lobbies are all Ghost towns in 2016. Considering the mediocre response to this game, that's not surprising. I am assuming Shadowfail is the end of the Killzone series. If Shadowfail is any indication, that's a good thing.    … Expand

    For starters there's the campaign, which just feels like a way to show off the graphical capabilities of the PS4 rather than providing a fun experience. Make no mistake, this is a gorgeous game. Unfortunately visual splendor can only carry an experience so far. With boring storytelling, frustrating shootouts, pathetic weapons, and occasionally unresponsive controls the single-player experience falls short. The biggest issue with the campaign is just that it doesn't feel like Killzone. What we get instead is just a really bad Call of Duty.

    The multiplayer on the other hand is a blast. It's fun, chaotic, and most definitely Killzone. However it too isn't without it's flaws. For one the experience in dying rather quickly. You can still almost always find full matches of team deathmatch, but the other modes it just comes down to when you look. There are times when the game will be buzzing with activity, and times when you'll be wondering where everyone is. Bot matches are available, but they just aren't the same.

    It's a shame the more objective based modes are the ones that are usually empty. Those are the ones that keep people moving. Unfortunately most TDM matches end up with a lot of camping. They usually turn out with one team trapping the other in their spawn base. Matches are still action packed and both sides can still get kills regardless if they're the trapper or the trapped, but it can really suck getting holed up like that.

    Shadow Fall's multiplayer portion can still be a heck of a lot of fun, but the camping and an ever diminishing player base are turn offs. With the single-player offering falling flat on it's face and the co-operative mode only being available as paid DLC it's hard to really recommend it. It's a big disappointment considering it's part of the usually excellent Killzone series. It can still provide some competitive thrills, but no one would blame you for passing this game in favor of games that are more satisfying overall.

    I give it a 6.2/10    … 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.

At times the game is truly beautiful and atmospheric, easily the best graphics I've ever seen on a game. But I'm an old school breed of gamer which asks for game play over graphics and if it doesn't play well then I'm not too interested in the game. Shame to say the game doesn't play well, it's a fairly passable first-person shooter which is often frustrating instead of enjoyable, which is a shame. I often felt a constant "I don't really know what I'm doing", type of thing. It left you in a lurch without much idea what to do which meant I was never sure whether to play the game stealthy or all action, making many moments ruined due to it not walking me through the sections properly. Also the 'cool' memorable moments like free falling was badly scripted meaning dying a lot, having to start at bad checkpoint placement a lot and just the general feeling of damn that would of been so much better if the game actually worked... The story I can't really comment on as I didn't play the other KillZones and the story goes completely over my head but I'm sure it would be enjoyable for someone who played the other games. Multiplayer is also just okay, nothing special or nothing to keep me interested for too long.… Expand

At the time I was trying to cover for it saying things like, "Well, some games start slower babe" etc... Ugh. Needless to say it never got better. I know they were trying to push the exploration concept rather than straight forward gameplay but it was definitely not an improvement. I did complete the game of course but was not impressed.

    I played the multiplayer some (maybe 20 or 30 hours even) but I just couldn't get into it like the last couple Killzones. I took it back to Best Buy and the guy told me he had been receiving a LOT of them. I don't like being an outlier when reviewing things and I hate commenting on other reviews but I really feel like anybody who rates this 8 or higher needs to take a step back and play a Killzone game from 10 years ago to see how it compares.    … Expand

    First of all, it is gorgeous. Not only the technical part of the graphics, but also the artistic direction. Everything is just beautiful, and I caught myself quite a lot of time just looking at the view. Then, I really appreciate the fact that Guerrilla didn't want to make the same Killzone as the 3 first…

I had high expectations that were not only not met but actually dashed to bits. In a nutshell, this game stinks.

    First is the environment. Forget the lush visuals of the trailers and promos. at least 80% of the game will be spent in dark rooms, hallways, corridors, outer space, spacecraft, vent shafts and other drab environments. Second, the navigation stinks. The navigation and objective markers are very confusing at times. And that's only when the directional objective marker actually feels like appearing (there were several times I tried to invoke it, only to get a text display of my objective and nothing more). It can be more confusing than helpful at times, especially when it rotates 360 degrees, like when you're in outer space, zero gravity or on a multi-level structure. And some of the mission objectives are just downright confusing. You'll get a vague hint like "assist so and so" but it doesn't tell you that this assistance involves several steps that aren't very intuitive.

    The weapons for the most part are decent but there are major shortcomings. For instance, the game loves to put you in rooms full of ammunition and weapons like you're in a candy store but you can only carry a ridiculously small supply. You get one primary weapon, one secondary and a max capacity refill of reach. There are two types of grenades but you can only carry one type at a time. When you're looking at a weapon on the ground, you can see the specs for it but the lame comparison leaves a lot to be desired. Instead of orange and green bars to indicate more or less power, just do a side by side. The worst glitch with the weapons is that some of them will simply refuse stop working and refuse to fire. There is no explanation, no little text message to say "too close to target" an indication that the weapon is empty or anything. Nope, you just sit there pressing R2 like a maniac while getting riddled by the enemy. As if ridiculous cheapness were';t enough, the AI enemies even do little victory dances over your body and take cell phone pics of their kill. So after the game fails on you, it celebrates its failure in tacky fashion.

    There are adrenaline packs that you can use during battle. They will restore your health and also give you a temporary slowed down Matrix style "bullet time" boost. It's helpful when facing a few enemies but pretty much useless when needed most, against scores of enemies as you'll encounter in the latter stages of the game. Like the weapons, they also seem to disappear without warning when you need them most. I'll start a new section with a full supply of adrenaline packs but somehow go down and see the message "no adrenaline packs available".

    The tactical echo and O.W.L. were the only two things that really stood out about the game and even they had their faults. They are usually excellent tools in your arsenal, especially for helping deal with the darker environments. The tactical echo acts almost like a heat sensor, displaying enemy silhouettes through walls, doors or floors. The O.W.L. is your personal drone that is capable of providing a shield, attacking enemies, disabling enemy shields and hacking computer systems which accomplishes numerous objectives like disabling alarms, opening doors, navigating ships, disabling security systems, etc. Unfortunately, when you use the most useful features like shield and pulse, it quickly drains the O.W.L. and it will end up off in a corner recharging when you really need it. Also, as far as engagement, although it occasionally kills enemies, (more in the beginning than latter stages), by the last few chapters of the game, it amounts to little more than a distraction and hacking device. 99% of the enemies will need to be dispatched by you.

    All in all, I played the game only because I paid for it. I can wholeheartedly say if this were offered free as a PS-Plus game of the month or some other deal, I likely would have deleted it by now. I would not buy the game again if given the chance all over again, but everyone has different tastes. My advice is to watch a couple play through videos online just to get a grasp of the environment you'll actually be playing in versus the much prettier environments shown in the ads. Might not hurt to rent it first as well, if you're able to do so. Otherwise, grab it in a bargain bin as cheap as possible or wait to see if Sony offers it as a free PS plus game (highly likely in the near future) if you simply must have it.

    However, if frequently getting lost in dark environments with malfunctioning weapons and vague directives while having enemies twerk over your body and take cell phone pics after a ridiculously cheap kill seems like fun, then dive on in. This is the game for you!    … Expand
