This is the first review I have seen and its from Gamereactor.

"Killzone: Shadow Fall ends up being a nice side attraction that, despite a few frustrating elements, shows what PlayStation 4 is capable of. The mix of exploration, light puzzles, a slower pace and the contrast between Vekta and Helghan, are elements that really stand out. The wonderful graphics, the juxtaposing aesthetics and the masterful audio also impress. A couple of idiotic missions, a weak ending and a bunch of firefights that devolved into something akin to a meaningless guessing game pull the score down to a weak 8 in the end. Guerrilla is capable of more, but if you're dying for a next-gen action experience, this is a game you can't afford to miss"

When reading the review I thought they would give like a 9 or something. Some things are also incorrect since pushing the up button will give you guidance on where to go and this guy says that during open levels he didn't knew where to go. There goes the credibility. Still this game is graphically on par with Crysis 3 on Ultra, has an amazing framerate, brutal combat so it is just a perfect launch game.

"The Warzone mode allows us to completely tailor our multiplayer experience, and do away with all the Call of Duty-inspired modernities, but we would rather have seen something more original. Fewer maps, fewer teams, no upgradable weapons or gear, no currency to buy stuff with after each match. Things we see in every game. With that rant out of the way, Shadow Fall's multiplayer is well crafted from start to finish, and we recommend it for those looking for a sci-fi take on the Call of Duty formula."

At least the MP experience is recommendable for those who like COD but haven't played it yet.

"Since this is the first next-gen exclusive we're reviewing you're probably curious about the visuals. For this purpose we've compared it side-by-side with some of the best looking games on the market including Battlefield 4, Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 on PC. Only Crysis 3 beats Shadow Fall on technical merits on ultra. Crysis 3 wins out thanks to its higher resolution and better textures. "


Impressive.

Almost as good as Crysis 3 on max settings eh ?

Not bad.

"We played through Shadow Fall on "hard" and died more times during our 8 hours with the game than we've done in the four numbered Halo games put together. "


Ahem .... MY BODY IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No surprise really. KZ2 was a bitch on the hardest setting, especially the final level before old Raddy.

graphics, as expected.

"The lighting paired with an insane level of detail makes this an incredible leap from Killzone 3."

"Only Crysis 3 beats Shadow Fall on technical merits on ultra. Crysis 3 wins out thanks to its higher resolution and better textures."

Lol, i never understood why people got so pissed off when their favorite game got an 8 or an 8.5, it's stil a good score; some people can't be satisfied :(

Tell me about it. God, remember when Twilight Princess got an 8.7 from Gamespot? The internet (at least the Nintendo side of it) blew up like an atom bomb. XD

Good score, keep them coming.
