Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw reviews A Shadow's Tale.
Quoting Nintendo Life's James Newton:
"A classic case of visual style over playable substance, A Shadow’s Tale still has enough graphical and audio flair to convince you to forgive its less original features, and there’s more than enough moments of enjoyment to make the purchase worthwhile. What could have been another must-have Wii 2D platformer, A Shadow's Tale is still worth your time as long as you keep your expectations in check."
A Shadow's Tale setup is both simple and rather ingenious. You play as a boy's shadow as he attempts to climb a huge tower to regain his mortal vessel, which is imprisoned at the top. This one quirk adds a whole new dimension to the basic run-and-jump platforming formula.
Every now and then, a game pops up out of nowhere and catches everyone off guard with its breathtaking quality and effortless craft and brilliance - A Shadow's Tale is one such rare gem. Arriving free of the usual accompanying hype, it comfortably holds its own alongside the very best games released all year on any system. It's a true cult classic in-waiting.
peole really should check this game out and don't rely on bad reviews of this game, because it's a matter of taste :)
