G.I. Joe Complex
More than a modern take on "Metroid" (as were the "Prime" entries), "Shadow Complex" is a faithful homage to what is one of the most beloved videogames ever made [in all fairness, I am not a big fan]. Like so many player... Read Full Review

Epic games are the people behind the massive success series Gears of war and Unreal tournament, and Shadow Complex is, as the other titles from Epic Games, highly addictive. In the game you play has Jason Fleming, who i... Read Full Review

An instant classic taking the Metroidvania type games into a new setting. If you liked any Metroid game, this is a buy!
Shadow Complex is just like the games from the Metroid Series and Castlevania series for any gameboy, with the exception that it is rendered in 3D. While it feels similar to metroid due to your character's weapon being ... Read Full Review

Great game- tight controls, amazing graphics and plays just like Metroid IN ITS PRIME
At first, the game looked like just another sidescroller during E3 coverage. But, when I looked at the demos and the videos, i realized that the game was going to be more than it appeared at first. So I downloaded it, an... Read Full Review

Completely out of left field, Shadow Complex gives rabid Metroid and Castlevania fans something new to devour. Finally.
Long time fans of Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, and their Nintendo DS successors should be very happy right now. Their beloved "metroidvania" genre has finally gone hi-def. The first such game to... Read Full Review

Not only is this one of the most fun 2D games ever made, it's simply one of the most fun games I have ever played.
I Can't say enough about how much I love this game. Everything from the shooting mechanic to the exploration to the platforming just all feels amazingly polished and perfected. The weapons are all great, the level lay... Read Full Review

Gets better and better the more you play it! Well worth the money spent to get it.
Shadow Complex is probably the best arcade game to come out this year. While $15 is a bit pricy for an arcade title, this game gives you value through gameplay and has lasting appeal. While the story is a little vague,... Read Full Review
