Ik kijk dus ongelooflijk naar deze game uit. Ik heb de laatste tijd wat vids en previews gezien (o.m de Giant Bomb quick look) en deze titel is echt iets wat we nog misten op de 360/xbla.
De reviewers zijn de game al aan het spelen en naar t schijnt duurt het 8+ uur om het uit te spelen, zonder dat je voor de 100% gaat. Echte explorers gaan daar natuurlijk wel voor, en dan kom je al snel tot 10-12. Er zitten 100 items en upgrades in het spel. Dan is er nog de klassieke Metroid uitdaging om de game met zo weinig mogelijk items te spelen (low % runs), er is zelfs een achievement voor. Replay value genoeg.
1200 allards is geen geld voor een game als deze. Vergelijk het met een huidige Castlevania game op de DS, daar betaal je €30+ voor, nieuw.
Het zijn titels als deze die digital distribution laten evolueren en ook xbla als platform. Hoe meer games met een dergelijk cachet, hoe beter.no votes

Hands On: Shadow Complex | TheSixthAxis - PS3 and Xbox 360 News, Trophies And Opinion
"There’s literally nothing I don’t like about Shadow Complex so far. The game has continued to throw new mechanics at me without ever diluting the core ‘rules’ of the game and the drip feed of weaponry, powerups and new abilities is perfectly executed to keep you playing through. Boss battles are a delight, it’s technically superb and as far as we can tell represents extraordinary value for money – the downsides? It’s only single player, and although there’s loads to collect and find the story won’t change on your second playthrough. Regardless, Shadow Complex is the dog’s. "no votes

sorry voor de double post, maar het is review tijd!
Shadow Complex Review - Page 1 // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer - Games Reviews, News and More 9/10
Live Arcade Review: Shadow Complex - Official Xbox 360 Magazine 9The result is a glorious 3D reimagining of the Metroidvania style of game, at once reverent of its references, yet also eager to better their achievements. In some areas it meets this tall order, in others it falls a little short. Nevertheless, it's a game that will delight gamers old enough to recognise the classics it celebrates, while captivating those oblivious to its inspirations. Its inevitable success in the coming weeks and months could even kick-start the genre. Drop a stone into this game and the splash may never echo back. Its significance might just be unfathomable.
IGN: Shadow Complex Review 9.4We can't expect every Xbox Live Arcade developer to produce such wares - budget nor engine isn't going to be readily available to all. But Shadow Complex is a stunning demonstration of what you can squeeze onto the service. Play it, marvel at it, and hope that it's the future of downloadable games.
Shadow Complex Review - giantbomb.com 5/5Shadow Complex probably could have used a little more development time to iron out a few glitches and nail down the sometimes awkward aiming system. Even so, it stands as one of the best games yet in 2009. And I'm not just talking about the Xbox Live Arcade. The classic, exploration-heavy gameplay is a winner. Go buy this game.
Shadow Complex is an incredibly well-made game that finally grabs the "Metroidvania" subgenre and drags it into the modern era instead of relegating it to a land of remakes or portable games. Players that obsess over speed runs and 100 percent completion will certainly find a lot of replayability, but even players who just want to play a game start to finish and move on will find that the quality of Shadow Complex makes it well worth its $15 price tag.no votes

Voor 10 € kunne we niet sukkelen é, dit zet de bar weer hoger.
Ik verwacht in de toekomst dat MS dit toch gaat pushen en titels met "high production value" gaat releasen.no votes
