User Rating: 8 | Shadow of Memories (Konami the Best) PS2
By Lazerbeak2125 | Review Date:
Well,it is Feb.7,2010. it has been years since i have played this game.After beating and acheiving,every ending,(there are 6/7 endings),i can honestly say that Shadow of Destiny was one of the best,memerable games i have played in my life.it is also,a game that lacks a lot........and i mean A lot.
I am a rpg fan,fps,halo,gears of war,action advernture,god of war,MGS,Racing car,Counter stike fan.Shadow of destiny,is nothing like any of that.it is totally unique!.You do not have any weapons at your disposal,no guns,no flying, no NOTHING.All you can do in this game is walk,run,talk,and press select to use time portals.This may seem like a very bad thing,and i'm sure to some of you it is,but,for some reason,it holds up very well.The characters are so dumb witted,and boring looking,making them likeable and funny.Therefore,make the whole game funny.There is an erie feeling in the game ,but not scary,and there is great music in the game.However,i only could give this game an 8.
it, lost points with me for,no weapons, no action,stuff like that.This game is not for everyone.it's for people who like story plot video games.if you enjoy Metal gear,Mass Efeect,or if you even think Heavy Rain,(can't wait for that),might be good,than you will LOVE this game.
Shadow of destiny is the kind of game i wish they made more of.it's the type of game where you bring a couple of freinds over,grab some food while one player plays the game,and just have a boat load of laughs.The game is not intentionally funny,but,once you get into it,it has it's quirks.A LOT,of quirks.
All in all,if you have a ps2, and looking for something diffrent,or you just feel like getting into a story driven game,then get this.Altough,it will be hard to find!
GRAPHICS:8.5
Sound:9.0
GAMEPLAY:1.0..................(not kidding)
VALUE:9.5

    10 out of 10 for innovation, but is it a game?

    Playing Shadow of Destiny leaves one feeling that they are in an interactive movie instead of a video game. About 65% of the game is spent watching cutsceens of characters conversing, and 25% is spent running around. Thi... Read Full Review

    "A thinking man's masterpiece"

    Shadow of Destiny {or Shadow of Memories, as it's known in Europe} is such a wonderful game, it's really surprising to see so many bad reviews for it, excluding Gamespot of course who gave it a great rating. It may not ... Read Full Review
