Forums - Microsoft - Shadow Complex questions.

yo_john117 on 19 August 2009

Hey I have a few questions to people that own Shadow Complex.

1. How much does it cost? (please be 1200 MS points or less!!)

2. How long on average does the game last, and does it have good replayability?

3. Does it have co-op?

4. How are the graphics compared to Gears 2?

5. Is it worth the money spent on it?

Link to the Xbox Homepage for the game, and the demo, so you can experience it for urself, rather than taking people word for it all.

Have fun!

I believe it costs 1,200 points. I believe they said it has a 10 hour campaign. And I have been hearing really good things about it. And I do not believe that it has co-op

1. 1200 MS points.

2. I'm almost done with the game and I started playing from 1 PM to 6 PM with breaks in-between. I'll let you know my total playtime when I get 100% of the items (I'm at 75%, it's going to be easy). It's a game with good replayability (for the gamer points mostly, but just like any Metroid/Castlevania game really).

3. Nope.

4. They're OK, lots of great lighting effects. Don't forget that the scale of the game is different, this one features little characters that can't have that much details on them (kind of like in Bionic Commando Rearmed).

5. It's worth it, easy 200 points game. This is what I wrote in another thread: It looks and plays a bit like Metroid and Castlevania, but the simplicity in the placement of items and stuff is just not that "complex." It also doesn't feel like everything is attached in an intelligent manner. Sure, you can go outside and enter different areas of the whole place, but I don't have this "feeling" that they've really thought about creating a good pacing with the exploration and stuff.

Still, the game is fun for what it is! If they do a sequel I'll play it.

 

Have fun!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

WOW...are you blazing thru the game and skipping side quest, or is it strictly linear?

I think it's the best DLC this gen, with the exception of Braid, which is in my top 10 games of all time, btw.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

No sidequests as far as I can tell. But that's just the main adventure. It's as linear as any Metroid/Castlevania game with lots of backtracking for items. I guess I'm used to them? @_@

Oh, I didn't try Proving Grounds yet. Sounds like a training mode though.
