The game is Shadow Complex. The mission is simple; save the girl and destroy everything complex. I've been waiting to write this post for a little while now but I just had to play this game as much as I could first. As s
oon as I started playing this game I was hooked. For a 2-D game its very bad ass. Not bad for a Xbox Live Arcade title. It reminded me of playing an NES 2-D platform game but much better. The game kind of runs alongs the lines of the Metal Gear Solid Series. The game suggest to be secret and covert just as MGS but still allows you to take it to the enemy hard. It even has the CQC moves from MGS when you encounter an enemy. You can do the moves in a one-button action press. One of the things I love about the game is its layout of connectivity. Every level is connected in one way or another. You're able to find little nooks and crannies to return back to where you once were via air vents and tunnels. The game is level and experienced based. The more you progress in t
he game the more levels and experience you obtain. I found that you can gain levels and experience very rapidly in this game which is pretty nice. Another good thing is that you don't have worry about saving ammo or maintaining your health. Your ammo never runs out and your only a save room away from replenishing your health. Plus there are additional halfway points within the game that keep you up and running. Something else that I love is that you can jump from the highest point and still live to play another day. Other games, at a certain point, you would fall to your death. They really keep the game fun and allow you to focus on just the game. Unlike MGS the enemy A.I. is a bit relaxed. If you're not directly in their view they're not going to react. So you don't have to worry about them seeking you out. There are several collectibles within the game. Th
eir are grenade canisters, gold, pass keys, and missiles hidden throughout the game that you must find. Some items are pretty well hidden. Others you stumble upon as you canvas through the game. The game is filled with back door entries and underground passage ways. I love a game that has elements like that. It keeps you playing. The story is pretty engaging. I love the way its starts out. Shadow Complex starts out with a lone soldier trying to eliminate the enemy with their own technology and save the vice president. He then realizes that the enemy had been undermining him the whole time and his vie to save the vice president is not successful. Then enters a young couple who plan a day to explore caves and stumble upon an underground complex. Naturally the woman gets captured and the guy is left to s
ave the day. I only got as far as the room with the disappearing red laser beam force fields. I'm kind of perplexed as to how to get through that part. If you are seen by the guards they lock the area up and a gas starts to fill the room. It does initially stop when you duck back into the vents though. Overall, this is a great game. I'll give it a 9 out of 10. It has a decent story and great game play. I gave it a 9 only because I think it should have been made into a full blown console next gen game but its still just as good. If you haven't downloaded this yet get on Xbox Live and do so now! Its definitely worth its weight in MS points.
