Liked it

Probably the best xbox live game I've played so far..easy control system with a old school type game flow with great graphics! If you like old school games like contra and metroid along with other classics then you will like this one!

Didn't like it

I must have been playing a different game than all the other reviewers. This is a side scroller. That SHOULD say everything you need to know about the game. For a second, stop and think: Why would you use the Unreal engine to make a side scroller? That like writing an iPhone app to help you find the nearest pay phone.

This Game Is Amazing. The Graphics Are Insane.. Basic Movements But Intense Gameplay With an Amazing Story. The Items Are Easily Noticable On Radar So The 100% Acheivment Is Pretty Simple. I have Played This Game About 5 Times Thru To Level Up.. Playing On Insane Is Not Realy That "Insane" The Proving Grounds Is A Bit Tough At Times But Pretty Simple once You Get The Hang Of It..All In All Solid And Replay Value Is Pretty High

Shadow Complex manages to be one of those rare games that feels fresh and exciting through to the end, where finding all the collectibles is fun and not a chore. The guns are satisfying, graphics beautiful and every explosion is a pleasure.

Very good for a XBLA title. Really feels like Super Metroid. There's a whole lot of collectibles to find. Story is a bit dull, but didn't bother me. Gameplay rocks. And it took me ~10 hours to complete the game first time, and there are also challenge rooms for hc player (yeah, they are damn hard). If you have 15€ to spend on a game, this is what you should buy.

It's Super Metroid meets G.I. Joe. Was a bit short, even while retrieving 100% of the collectibles, but not enough so to feel ripped off. Overall, definitely worth the money, as this is one of the better XBLA games.

Easily the best Live Arcade game ever made, and it's by far my favorite game of the year. In fact I'm close to calling this one game of the generation so far. Old school side scrolling goodness paired with incredibly deep exploration, a la Metroid, a fantastic power up system, a great graphics engine, very interesting 2.5D gameplay, some of the best sound effects and music you'll hear out of a non-disc game, and just an overall solid package. You don't even have to collect everything to…

This is definitely, one the greatest XBLA games out there, some minor glitches but in my opinion nothing to complain about for a XBLA game. Its a good sit back and chill out and play game, something you can take your time with and it sure does bring back that old school Metroid feel, which i love. Awesome game.

Very good game. It to a form of the sidescroller making it a 2.5D game with a unique, but flawed, aiming system and a great Metroid feel. The game played great with minor glitches and bugs. Had good graphics for an arcade game and a really nice flow to it. Although the story lacked somewhat this is the best arcade game I've played since Castle Crashers.

Shadow Complex probably could have used a little more development time to iron out a few glitches and nail down the sometimes awkward aiming system. Even so, it stands as one of the best games yet in 2009. And I'm not just talking about the Xbox Live Arcade. The classic, exploration-heavy gameplay is a winner. Go buy this game.
