A great that idea gets better as you play........... Literally!
SO where should I start? From the outset this game is not trying to win any plot awards so that should not be a factor in any review. It has rock solid game play, and the puzzle work is outstanding without being too hard... Read Full Review

Metroid; now with a dude, and on Earth!
Shadow Complex is a fine video style game, well worth your time and hard-earned currency of choice. Should you download this somewhat ambitious title off of Xbox Live, you can expect a rather visually pleasing, action pa... Read Full Review

Surprisingly good fun!
For a downloadable game this is really something. It has a lot of replay value, in that not only is the campaign interesting (and frustrating too !) but the challenge rooms which are played outside of the campaign are en... Read Full Review

For those who have played the classic Metroidvania titles, Shadow Complex will seem like no more than a modern take.

The expansive environment and great shooting segments help Shadow Complex become one of the better XBLA titles.
The Summer of Arcade on Xbox Live wasn't just a reason to avoid the summer heat and download new titles over Xbox Live. It was also a brilliant opportunity for developers to push the boundaries of downloadable titles. Wi... Read Full Review

An incredible homage to a genre forgotten too long
A long while ago, in a time of inferior technology and rustic gameplay elements, the side-scroller reigned supreme. The genre has spawned some of the greatest games of all-time, but like all good things, it went away... Read Full Review
