Review by Nick H.

Killzone released with serious expectations behind it. After all, along with Knack, it was one of the two retail exclusives the PlayStation 4 had to launch with, and while Knack was at times entertaining, it also fell flat as a 'next gen' experience. This puts even more pressure on Killzone to deliver both critically and commercially (though Knack did outsell Super Mario 3D World, so perhaps it'll be considered a commercial success).

The good news is, Killzone does a far better job of representing Sony's launch aspirations than Knack did. Unfortunately it is not quite the killer experience everyone was likely hoping for either. It hurts that Shadow Fall will be compared to Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, since all three of these are blockbuster first person shooters that were released at the same time.

Standard set of disclaimers up front: I'm not a big fan of shooters, and I have never really, truly enjoyed a Killzone game. There are certain examples of the genre that I do get along with and can certainly appreciate - such as Crysis 3 or that XCOM one, but Killzone always seemed just a little bland for my tastes.

But it's a major release for the PlayStation 4, and so I felt obligated to check it out at the recent EB Games expo. Specifically I checked it out at an evening media-only event that paired me up with some of Australia's other gaming journos (there's no way I'd line up for over an hour for any shooter), for some four-on-four multiplayer action.
