Shadows of the Damned Reviews

Garcia Hotspur is the demon hunter, along with his "tool" Johnson (a former demon and talking skull that is your "companion"). Both find out that the demons REALLY don't like being shot at. The "Lord of Demons" (aka Flemming...) comes in and kidnaps Paula and forces Garcia to follow him into hell. The game contains 5 acts (each having 4-6 sub-acts) with multiple sub-bosses and bosses per act. Gameplay: It's a third person shooter with some melee button mashing in between. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is one of the few games that give a good back story to the main characters, but also the bosses as well. Defeating enemies depends on your skill and the gun you chose. You can go for a headshot (quick kill), take out their legs and they drag themselves toward you (ala Black Knight [Monty Python ref.]), or blow their arms off so that...

Thank goodness I had that urge. Once I started playing the game I didn't stop until it was finished 9 hours later. The controls in this game are very similar to Resident Evil 5 but the atmosphere and music are quite a lot like the silent hill games. This game seems to pull the best from both games. Though the plot of the game is rather dark the game has quite a lot of entertaining humor in it. My major and only complaint is that the game was lacking in difficulty. I played through on normal and rarely felt challenged. If you happen to be considering this game I highly suggest you try it out. This is easily one the most entertaining releases I've played this year. 13 of 17 people found the following review helpful:  Camp Horror, By thecooLapse (in my mind) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Shadows of the Damned (Video Game) I was a bit skeptical when the first gameplay footage was released because it looked all atmosphere with no content but boy was I wrong. Yes you do get a lot of immature jokes but I didn't mind them in Bulletstorm plus unless your a parent or a Fox News employee I think you can handle it. The story isn't anything oscar worthy but when I picked this up I was expecting Grindhouse not Titantic which is where it succeeds and its interesting enough to keep my attention the whole way through. The main character is hilarious and so are his weapons that are riddled with non stop puns so don't play this with mother in the room. Combat is smooth and works although you will have to fight with the camera at certain points but nothing game breaking. I can't help but wonder if the team that made this got their hands on the license's to The Evil Dead how amazing it would be because that's what I'd put this game in "Camp Horror" not Survival Horror which isn't a bad thing. All in all its a great game... Read more |
