True I Skill Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Im shocked theres not any threads about this yet D; I did look through the 5 pages, Thats a first. Anyway i played through the demo very quickly, Skipping any cut scene, Jumping arround everywhere. and well once i made it to the end i acturly enjoyed the game. But do you guys think its worth the 1200 ms points? How long is this game? and any replayability? I saw the map and it reminded me a little bit of Castlevania, Is it anything like this but a way more modern version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathblow23 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well if you ever played any of the old school Metroids then you will find that this game is utterly AMAZING!!! I think it could have been a retail release...I actually wish it was. It is so fun to grind away through the MASSIVE map! I would've paid more than 1200 MS pts...but then again...I love the Metroid series. I say buy it. It's the best arcade game out to me. I'm trying to be unbiased.

-GJ- Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think it's even worth 4200 points. To me it's like a full retail game. Even better than some retail games... Already one of my favorite games on the 360 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacokorn77 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Im shocked theres not any threads about this yet D; I'm shocked you're questioning the price. I'm more surprised they didn't try and sell it for more. It's old-school 2D platform/adventure, in the spirit of Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You can score SotN on XBLA for, what, $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3liumX Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 In my opinion it is worth it. I am very satisfied with how much entertainment I got out of it so far. Even after you beat the game, you can go around and get 100% of the items and you will enjoy what comes as you go for it (won't spoil it). I wasn't going to buy it initially because it was by Epic and they have recently failed in epic amounts, but after playing the demo I couldn't resist. The game is fun. 12+ hours invested so far and 9/12 achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatmuther Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Definatly worth it. Add multiplayer and co-op and you could sell it as a retail game no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggly Bean1604660682 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The answer is a definite yes. I had a more in-depth answer somewhere on this board to someone who asked pretty much the same thing. I can't be bothered to find it right now, but I might copy and paste it here if I can be bothered. The short version of that post is just: yes it's totally worth it.

wolvieware Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 If any of the arcade released at 1200 were worth it, this one most definately is. As people have said, I'm surprised they didn't make it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjemec Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've clocked over 11 hours on this game already. You can clock in much less with most of the latest retail titles- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'd pay more than 1200 points for this. I've had more fun playing this game than any other game in a very long time. First run took me a little short of 10 hrs (100% run), which is very good for an arcade game of this sort imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingles Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would without a doubt say yes here! It's a great game! I played the demo for literately about 2 minutes before I decided it was WELL worth the 1200 MS points. It's one of my favorite arcade titles thus far.

mjemec Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I didn't even play the demo. I saw a game play video on Gametrailers 2 or 3 days before the release and I was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's old-school 2D platform/adventure, in the spirit of Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You can score SotN on XBLA for, what, $10? Hell yeah. I love Symphony of the Night. It's probably my favorite arcade title out of all, but Shadow Complex is becoming a close second. I'm so glad I unlocked the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcolepticshee Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I thought this looked pretty turd from the gameplay videos, but I downloaded the demo anyway and then bought the game. I absolutely love it. It's like Castlevania: SotN, but a bit shorter but nicer graphics. My first play through (100%) took just shy of 8 hours I think, second was 1 hour 35 mins, and now I'm finishing off with the challenge mode and levelling up to level 50. There is PLENTY of replayability and even murmours of DLC in the works?! Also, this game has a leaderboard which promotes speed running the game through. Someone has done it in 33 minutes already!! Well worth the 1200 MSP. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Forced Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would say definitely worth it. This is the most i've ever paid for an arcade game but this game is worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunndonbridge Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 There are only a handful of games that have the 1200 pt price that deserve it. Shadow Complex is definitelly one of those games. Its not some overpriced flash game or a simple multiplayer only brawl. This game has the graphics, storyline, and length of a full retail game. It was going to be 1600 pts at first but I'm guessing they lowered the price to attract more gamers. I still would've bought it. Had Epic thrown in multiplayer(and with their track record it would've been amazing with a bit o glitch), this game could've easily been a $60 retail game instead of a $15 arcade game.

Its not some overpriced flash game (Castle Crashers?) or a simple multiplayer only brawl. (Marvel vs Capcom 2?) lol both of those games are worth their points... and so is Shadow Complex Many, many, many times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 This is actually the first arcade that I've spent 1200 points on, and I had no regrets what so ever. I really like the game with it's cool main character and story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oEliteSniper X Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I love this game and it's one of my favorite games I've played on the 360. I loved the Metroid games and I think Chair has really done a nice job with making a Metroid-like game. It's fun to explore the map and see not just where you go toward your objective but stray from the path and find new areas. I also like making the bad guys scream after lauching them with a punch down a cavern or from another high place, always satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the first one Castle Crashers but the other one was Battlefield 1943. Marvel vs Capcom 2 is good enough for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
