It was time to retire the series long ago. Guerilla Games are probably the worst FPS developers going. Equally hopeless Insomniac have done a somewhat better job with the Resistance games.
As a seasoned FPS vet, Killzone 2 is one of the most unplayable shooters I have ever played. Ugly environments, horrendous controls, lofty presentation and probably the most generic level and mission design in any FPS game. Unnecessary melodrama got in the way of an otherwise interesting premise and backstory, but by no means would I say the series has a good story. Cinematics and graphics were the only noteworthy thing here. Some neat weapons and bosses too.
KZ3 was a noted improvement as far as gameplay and environment variety goes, but thats about it.
Shadowfall was their weakest and most generic attempt so far. Played it at a friends house, have no intention of playing any further. The 8's and 9's on metacritic must be the graphics, because it played like a 5 or 6/10 game to me.
