Shadow of Destiny for PlayStation 2

Pros: Mindbending puzzles
Cons: Eike's voice

If there’s one thing the PlayStation 2 needs (as well as all the other consoles out there) more of, it’s unique, innovative, entertaining game experiences. However, innovation is all for naught if the gameplay is terrible. Uniqueness for the sake...

Pros: interesting storyline, puzzles don't make your brain twitch
Cons: length, sub-par graphics, slow at times

While waiting for hyped-up titles like Devil May Cry 2 to be released this month, I went looking for something to pass the time away – in particular, something less mainstream and slightly off the beaten path, which led me to Shadow of Destiny....

Pros: Outstanding Graphics, Good Voice Acting, Different Type of Story
Cons: On the Short Side, Will Disappoint Gamers Looking for Action

How often do we see a truly different game? Not very. Even some of the most successful titles out there seem to have themes that have been done before. As great a game as Silent Hill was, how many gamers called it a Resident Evil clone?...

Pros: Everything, a great game
Cons: Nothing really, mabye the fact that it's a bit slow.

After experiencing the effects of the last epinion done on the site about his spiritual suicidal death on Epinions, Sephiroth has found that although he will leave that Epinion up, it still brings joy to him to review games and help people make desicions...

Pros: Likely nothing ever imagined on any format...Mysterious, intriging and compelling...
Cons: Who said Genius had to be perfect...? (this is far from it)

Oh dear, where do I start... lets see... what exactly is Shadow of Destiny? Afterall just staring at the game sleeve only hints and the kind of experience your gonna be in for. Imagine, if you will, the interface of Sega's real-time investigative RPG...

Pros: Great graphics and smooth, bug-free gameplay.
Cons: Linear storyline, annoying music, short - this game's NOT all it's cracked up to be.

When I first bought this game, I loved it, despite what I think of it now. It had great, seamless graphics, and exciting (if short) FMV intro, and a weird aura of mystery surrounding it.

Fast forward to:
me, the day after, having beaten...

Pros: Great story line, characters, and above all, innovative gameplay.
Cons: The game is too short.

If you die in life, you won't be able to come back. That was until now... Introducing the first, and original of its kind of game where you're the guy who gets to die a thousand times, find out who's trying to murder you, meet beautiful women from...

Pros: Great Concept, Gripping Story, Smooth Learning Curve On The Puzzles.
Cons: Too Short. Stupid Camera

Shadow of Destiny is the third PS2 game I've bought and played, but I decided it should be the first one I write about. Why? Well I don't really know why, but I can say that Shadow of Destiny is not your common everyday video game. It is a game that...

Pros: One of the best storylines in a game to date.
Cons: Not for first person shooter addicts

Hands down, this is my favourite PS2 game currently availible. It might have been the change of pace that appealed to me so much. I've been a gamer for as long as the NES has been around. I've played them all, and I'm personally getting tired of...

Pros: Astounding animations, lovable characters, decent voice acting
Cons: SHORT!!, easy

Who would have thought that Konami could make such different games with style? Metal Gear, Snatcher, Policenauts, and now Shadow of Destiny. What do they all have in common? A storyline to make one cry, shriek, and grin all within a five minute span. And...

Pros: A breath of fresh air! Interesting storyline with multiple endings.
Cons: Some poor voiceovers, so-so backgrounds.

Remember the days of the ol' Adventure games, where you would run around collecting items to complete tasks? Well, those days are back with Shadow of Destiny.

It's nice to see a game on the PS2 that isn't the same old run of the mill game....

Pros: Good graphics, fully spoken dialogue, cool premise.
Cons: Short game; standard action or RPG fans may not like the play style.

In the olden days of yore, or the mid-Nineties as we old fogeys say, one of the gaming media buzzwords that never quite got off the ground was "interactive movies". The idea being, you could have a game with live actors where the player controls the...

Pros: Great graphics, great replay value, great voice-overs.
Cons: It is hard to figure out how to get the alternate endings.

Let me start by saying that this game is NOT a typical action game. There are no weapons, you don't kill people, you don't have to dodge bullets, and there is no real hero. However, this game needs none of that. This is a game that draws you in based on...

Pros: Fun, Great Graphics, deep storyline, good replay value
Cons: A little bit too short

Alright, I am writing this review and basing it on what I have seen so far. The basic story is that there is someone trying to kill you and you must travel back in time to prevent your own death aided only by your wits and a mysterious figure known as...

Pros: Nice concept, multiple endings, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Odd character graphics, obnoxious voice acting, short, boring at times

Shadow of Destiny is a game I picked up on a whim about a year ago, and just now have gotten around to playing. When I first started the game I noted that the graphics were a bit off in some areas, apart from the atmosphere. The characters are somewhat ...
