She has a pretty eye and a robotic looking eye... I'm sold on this!

KillZone returns as one of the PS4's launch titles, which launch titles can be dangerous gamble so how does this hold up? Well, this time I'm gonna start off with the storyline...

Helghan's destroyed and now the Helghast and Vektans are living on 2 separate sides of a single planet, divided by a large wall to protect one another from yet another full-scale war. The game begins with you as a child, trying to escape the New Helghan side of the planet and being rescued by a Shadow Marshal that takes you under his wing, training you to conduct surgical strikes in New Helghan when the Helghast cross the line. SPOILER ALERT!!! Turns out the Vektans are having a scientist develop a biological weapon that'd target and kill every Helghast that comes into contact with this weapon... Except the Helghast steal the weapon and intend to repurpose it to kill every Vektan. You wind up getting taking prisoner by the Helghast but are aided by someone that's half Vektan and half Helghast who reveals she wants to prevent another all out war, she knows the outcome would be disasterous on both sides. But it's too late, the Vektan genocide weapon is willingly developed by the exact same scientist, war breaks loose and it's up to you to stop the terrorist perpetraitor behind the whole thing. Except your racsist CO shows up, pissed you allied with a Helghast to stop this whole thing (He wants war) and kills you... Yeah, it's an original ending with an added twist during the credits but still, the fact you die and everyone you'd fought to accomplish has been for nothing sucks pretty bad.

"Crap crap crap crap, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!"
-Shadow Marshal Kellen
"Yes, Sergeant Expendable, I'm afraid you are..."
-Enemy Helghast soldier

Now that that's outta the way it's on to the gameplay: Well, it's a modern FPS so not much to say there. You get regenerating health and a 2 weapon limit like most FPS games now in days, but you DO get a flying robot helper which can help you regenerate health before dying, be a fire support buddy, hack computers and so on. The graphics, sound, and music of this game blend pretty well together to make a pretty good experience, but level design I think could've been way better... Some of the levels aren't as straight forward as a lot of action games nowadays but none of them really stand out as anything really remarkable.

"Time for a firefight!"
-Shadow Marshal Kellen

So how do I add all these factors up? Well, I've played worse First Person Shooters and I've played better ones. The story in the single player mode is pretty lacking I felt and once I beat it, it's not something I really wanna go back to re-experience, the action's fun but not all that remarkable. I personally give it 3 out of 5 disgrunted old soldiers with grudges that wanna instigate war and get their own species wiped out... Eh, those guys are suicidal dumbasses so this game gets their heads on spikes.
