I've finished Lost in Shadow (AKA A Shadow's Tale) today.

Story/Objective
- You control the shadow of a boy who was executed - but his shadow is still alive. The shadow wakes up with no memories of what happened but he knows he needs to climb the big tower.

Pros
+ Simple but creative story
+ Artistically beautiful.
+ I had no issues with the camera angle.
+ The main scenarios are very detailed.
+ The game gets much better after its half with better puzzles
+ Cheaper than normal wii games
+ It's Lengthy. I've finished it and completed 95,7% of it in about 18 hours.

Cons
- The puzzles of the first half are simple
- There is no motivation to seek for the "lost memories" and complete the game 100%. Those "lost memories" are not interesting. There should've had a better reward for those who like to explore the game.

Overall I'd give the game a 8/10.

  Lost in Shadows is like a roller coaster. You really don't know what to expect.

  The first twenty five minutes of Lost in Shadows is great. The opening cut-scene is fantastic, and the menus are filled with style and pizazz. For the first five levels, you are greeted with tons of new game play feature... Read Full Review
