Shadow Complex
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 1:34 pm
Has anyone else gotten a chance to play this? Hehe, I doubt it... It just came out today. Shadow Complex is an awesome sidescroller XBLA game.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-HvHPz__hw
Pros:
-Pretty Large Diversity of Weapons for such a small game
-Pretty Cheap (15 USD)
-Awesome graphics
-Mixed type of game (Sidescroller/TPS)
-Cool Concept
-Fun!
-Tough but doable Challenge courses
-Good voicing
Cons:
-Campaign can be beaten in less than 2 hrs
-Music's kinda annoying
-Controls are a little odd, I don't know if you can change them
-Animations are weird (It's almost funny when you swim)
-Ragdoll physics are buggy (An enemy can be killed and then their body can randomly contort a minute later, I was awfully confused by it, I thought that the enemies were coming back to life)
-Checkpoints are pretty rare, at one point, I saw a major cutscene, got killed immediately afterwards, and was sent back to where I was about 10 minutes earlier.
Overall, it's a pretty good game. I'd reccommend it. Although, the trial made it seem like a boring game. I give it an 8/10.
