Giant Bomb: Shadow Complex Review

Giant Bomb: "Upon completing Shadow Complex--a task that took me close to five hours--the first thing I did was reload my final save so I could go back and collect all of the items I missed. Three hours later, I had cleared the game with 100 percent of the items collected. With that out of the way, I started over on a harder difficulty setting. That's the nature of Chair Entertainment's side-scrolling action-adventure. There's enough to it to probably satisfy people who only like to complete single-player games once, but it's set up in a way that really inspires you to play it again and again."

So nice!

[Blaster_Master]

Im getting this game cause Giantbomb said so.

[StanLee]

Another great review. I can't wait for this game to be available for download. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

[SevWolf]

Already one of my most anticipated games, the reviews only made me want it more....lol I'm a sucker for power suits/armors like this, nanosuit, and octocamo

[spandexxking]

this game looks awesome, alot better than even alan wake!

[Raoh]

knew some jealous psn user would come around

[GameOn]

5/5.

[poopface1]

funny taht you care more about some BS failure rate of 360. the same poll also said the PS3 had a 10% failure rate, and I dont think either number is that high.

Mine is 0.00%. So I couldnt care less. Funny you ps3rd fanboys care more about the 360 failure rate than people care about PS3.

watcht this funny video that has nothing to do with fanboy wars: its a prank call to some gamestore.

PS3rd, playbehind, 4D.

[PirateThom]

What?!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

3rd

[AngryTypingGuy]

Poopface, nice name by the way, thank you for sparing me the time. I was going to type pretty much the same thing.

Mooey is a douche who can't stand that Sony's glory days are behind them for the foreseeable future.

[poopface1]

in the meantime Ill watch this funny video over and over. it has something to do with videogames. Its a prank call to EBgames.

[Lord_Ranos]

hey at least they got a an exclusive download title.

[The_Beast]

Ya there is just oh my.... so many to choose from lol

[DonCorneo]

DLCbox FTW!

it's not even 5 hours long.. which is a good thing because after playing for 5 hours the crapbox will RRoD..

[Saaking]

Not worth more than 10 bucks. Why would I pay $15 for a game with no multiplayer, short campaign, and little replay value? At most it's 10 bucks.

[The_Beast]

2 hours is alot of time.... my xbox 360 can go a whopping 5 hours before getting rrod

[Double Toasted]

for this...yeah.

[Homicide]

Fat Princess: 80
Shadow Complex: 92

You're a smart man.

[shocky16]

.

[FlipMode]

.

edit: you play fat princess?

[shocky16]

:)

[cmrbe]

plays the game he likes. A bot on the other hand play a game someone else says he should play. Fixed.

[likedamaster]

"Fat Princess falls way short. Slowly but surely PS3 fanboys are discovering that more people allowed in online multiplayer games doesn't mean more fun, it means more headaches, more of a clusterf**, more disappointment. Consider Fat Princess an early taste of what will ultimately become of MAG."

I'd trade it in if I could.

Shadow Complex ftw.

[ShadowCK]

Good Man, Fat Princess isn't even in the same league as Shadow Complex.

[ElementX]

Another reason for me to buy a 360, alongside the new Splinter Cell and Alan Wake

[devilhunterx]

weird, i always thought you were married to one :P

[ElementX]

Hell no! I owned a 360 about 10 months ago but I sold it for rent money cause I went on a spending spree... I've been strictly PS3 since, but there are some good 360 games coming out.

[Shadow017]

Game doesn't look bad well on the bright side you xbots have a game to play now may not be a full retail game but anything will do.

[Double Toasted]

that Fat b!tch is calling you...

[Kareshi_X]

Moey is so jealous of this game.

keep on playing Fat princess.

[SIX]

I'm not going to go out and buy another 360 for this, but I'm really jealous that I won't be able to play this. F@CK! MS and there stupid faulty consols. This really pisses me off.

[devilhunterx]

4 good reasons it might come to the PSN:

1) castle crasher

2) braid

3) prince of persia classic

4) penny arcade

[sukru]

MS has the publishing rights to this game, and unlike Braid, they would not let any ports.

[shutupandplay]

Lol @ the droids attempting to spin 5/5.

[Socomer 1979]

As a ps3 gamer I'm used to short games being deducted 2 points from the review instead of advice on starting the game all over on a higher difficulty. That's enough spin for ya?

1 match of fat princess last longer than a whole entire game of shadow complex: fact!
Hee hee!

Ahh, xbutts. Can't live with them & you can't hit em in the head with a hammer.

[shutupandplay]

AAAHHHHHAAAAAA! Look at your bitter ass. There goes "no AAA games for 09." Poor schmuck.

[Close_Second]

Definitely my kind of game although I only hook my PS3 up for on-line anything nowadays.

Have to admit that Shatter and Fat Princess on PSN do not satisfy my gaming needs as much as Shadow Complex would.

Envious.

[SRU9600]

You should add Trials HD to that list, as well.

Game is awesome.

[Socomer 1979]

From all the reviews of shadow complex.
This game came & went. Never to be talked about again.

I'm looking at gameplay videos & bionic commando rearmed is better.
This is just a metroid rip off with nothing original but the reviews are saying it's a tribute.
That's a laugh!

There's a new real metroid game coming to the wii & I'm sure team ninja made it more than 4 hours.
Funny, still don't nothing move but the money.

[Double Toasted]

move towards the PS3 though does it? Sorry PS3 but these playslaves are ruining it for you...ha.

[ShadowCK]

You're juding a game by it's gameplay videos?

Sorry man, but that's a laugh!

[Socomer 1979]

Nah, not even slightly... Not of the rrodbox.
Happy about 1 AAA game at the end of the summer that just happens to be a side scroller?
Sorry, been there & got the metroid t-shirt. You're starved & epic threw you a saltine cracker.

My psn exclusives speak for themselves & they are many.
I've got original arcades in the double digits.
Xbla has about 5 games.

We both know what's cost effective & the premiere gamer experience.
But ummm , don't worry. Play your game & I'll see you back here in 4 hours bored again.

Heres a video of what the marines think of the xbox 360:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

you think they give a fck about shadow complex? I shot my 360. trust me. its dead.

[shutupandplay]

Poor guy man, he`s deluded himself into thinking the psn arcade has more games. It`s too late now. HAHAHAHAHA @ you trying to downplay a game that`s at 92 overall in one day.

[Double Toasted]

Its obvious you want to play the game and if not then poof vamoose son of b!tch...
