Wasn't sure if I was going to buy this game on the xbox backward compatibility sale or not, but after seeing this review it's a must buy .. looks very good
This game is absolutely awesome! Unfortunately, the games poor sales may cause EA to pull the the plug on any future sequels. Which really sucks because the ending set it up for a sequel. Hopefully they'll go ahead and produce a sequel. I'd hate to see a great franchise go the way of Shenmue. But mark my words. This game will be a cult classic.
One of my favorites this year hands down. It may not be as polished as Dead Space or Resident Evil, but I'll be damned if I didn't have more fun playing this than both of those great games combined.
@MrShotgun175 I've played a lot, Bulletstorm, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Crisis 2, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2, Brink etc. I enjoyed them all but they were all to be expected/predictable. Shadow's of the Damned is fresh (and completely bananas!). I mean it's by the guys who made Killer 7, Devil May Cry, No More Heroes and Resident Evil. That was reason enough for me to pick it up and it payed off.
This game if great, really is, but i feel like some of the humor is forced, but it still holds a special place in my heart. With a ghost n goblin type objective and map load screen, and a resident evil 4 type gameplay, it holds a lot of potential, and a delivers a lot.
This game was so unique and fun! It had awesome enemies and some of the funniest dialogue ever. I wish this game did better, it really deserves more attention.
@adham2000eg I know that... I just wanted to know what were the controls for this game. Sometimes stupid developers map them to L2/R2 and don't let us change it in the options and I hate that.
If not something else, this games does remind us that games should be fun, artfull, unrealistic (except sports), daring and deffinitelly single player minded.. But if you don't care about those things, what's important is that the game is good. If you buy games for the multiplayer rent it.. If not deffinitelly buy it
I think shadows of the damned 2 is coming out next year. I mean that's what I heard but I cannot wait til part 2 comes out. shadows of the damned is 1 of my few top games. because of this game now I like shotng games.
@THERAVENAK47 The game is really fun and you'll enjoy it all the way through. However, I recommend that you rent it because sadly it's only 8 hrs long with no new+ game mode and extra content. If they make another Shadows of The Damned these are my recommendations: 25 hrs gameplay, extra content like survival mode or side missions, new+ game mode with item+weapon carry over+costumes, more world open exploration, way more guns with optional upgrades, and much more tougher enemies.
I was afraid this game would be more style over substance & clearly it looks like it has its issues, just from some of the videos alone, but at the same time, it's one of those games that you're just intrigued to play.
@YoungZer0 No worries, here's my attitude: "Don't accuse someone of being a jerk/ignorant etc, if the people in question are of the kind explain to them why they'd get so much more work done with reasoning arguments, citing your facts, etc." Think about it, atleast... I'm sorry, I'm getting weird right now as with the completely dispicable situation right now in my country (Norway)
This game is really great! Although it's kinda short, I beat it in a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes, but it was worth replaying since I haven't upgraded all of my guns! Worth my 20 bucks!
i've got both, though i didn't think vanquish was as good as people said, yeah i did enjoy it but i thought it became too repetitive (even though it was so short)
sometimes game reviewers like gamespot wont admit the game is that damn good this game reminds me so much of resident evil 4 it just has that horror feeling times 10
@AgentCell It is all those things that you mentioned and exactly what I enjoyed about it. However, it is rather short lived... sadly. I would really want a sequel but I don't expect that it will happen.
@ExoSC8 cheap deadspace copy? it doesnt take place in space. it doesnt use dismemberment. the guy who created this was behind resident evil 4, the game after which dead space's control scheme is modeled. dont get me wrong i love dead space but that and this are absolutely nothing alike.
@robomattster If you notice, he has a very passive viewpoint to the review, and doesn't hate on the reviewers, it's a fact that companies pay IGN and similar sites to up the score abit, just look at the score they gave Sonic Freeriders...
Always the case with Suda51. "No More Heroes" series? Underrated! "Killer7" (GC/PS2) underrated. "Killer is dead" underrated. I didn't like "Lollipop Chainsaw" but if I were a girl I probably would enjoy that game too. He probably made that game for gamer chicks, but yeah he is underrated alright. "Underrated" is his middle name. In fact we should call him "SudaUnderrated51"
@YoungZer0 what do you expect from the guy who created RE4? he can not make extension from that game play? graphics are always not the strongest from japanese developers unless they are kojima production or SE. japanese developed games usually have slower pace or more complex (sometimes clunky) controls, the precise aiming system in the game adds more variety in gameplay which is refreshing for a 3rd person shooter game. it takes creativity to do that, thank you.
@ANinja11 well i dont know about the other two but the creator of re4 was behind this along with the dude that made killer 7 and no more heroes i think and the creator of silent hill
@robotpanda77 Thank you for that comment. I'm just going to get the game used for a eek at GameStop. Watched 20 seconds. Hope I'm in for something good..
The reason that I got this game is because it was different from all the shooter zombie games that are out there by the thousands ! .... this is a very good game ...and I only hope they come out with another one .... but it doesn't matter anyway because some other game campany like E.A. Capcom etc. ... will make a copy and market it ... add mutiplayer ti it ... and make a thousand sequels !
Not quite as AWESOME as Dantes Inferno but still looks like a blast. I questioned if this would be any good of a game but now its on my christmas list, ya theres to many other games between now and christmas that I have to worry about other than this one. I still look forward to playing this one though. I think this looks better than F3AR even if theres no multiplayer.
You just said that Ninja Gaiden was "too tough to enjoy". How many people DO you know? Are you speaking for them, or do they all have one mind. And I have played tetris for an hour or 2 just to see how long I can last, before losing.
I have 4 top games cuz im super,very extremly picky when it cumz to buying a good ass fun game. and shadows of the damned has it all. its one of my top, if not my top game.
@gohcool games like mass effect, God of War, Gears of War, L.A. Noire, CoD and the like have plenty of creativity. Content, you're looking at games like Mass Effect, Fallout, Dragon Age, Elder Scroll, Fable, Noire, and many more, and arguably western games have more good, multiple ending games that are made recently than Japan. There's also the uncharted the top contender The 'still number 1 game', despite criticism, is WoW for its content and creativity. Number of players indicates it.
i've come and i've said my piece and there's absoloutly no point in arguing about it any further because we are having an arguement over the INTERNET so there's really no point you may not give a damn about story but i do so let's just both go our seperate ways and forget all this pointless shit
i think this is the first game that has the word fuck in one of its achievement or trophy of course im talking about "Now That's A Big Fucking Gun" achievement/trophy
holy shit why is everyone getting all over my back for asking if it had a good story, every fucking review i watch says NOTHING about the story, excuse me for having my own opinion but story is the factor that persuades me to buy a game(and btw i'm speaking for them, i know about 15-20 people at school i know who don't play ninja gaiden simply because of the difficulty)
@thejobloshow No, when Duke Nukem make jokes about rape is just bad taste, just like when trying to do jokes about one's sexual orientation. Shadows jokes are not classy, but they don't go over the limit with it
Just finished it, one of the best games ever!
No
Remaster time baby!
Wasn't sure if I was going to buy this game on the xbox backward compatibility sale or not, but after seeing this review it's a must buy .. looks very good

Here for the Xbone backward compatibility! :)
I want to buy an xbox so I can replay it
@MrShotgun175 I've played a lot, Bulletstorm, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Crisis 2, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2, Brink etc. I enjoyed them all but they were all to be expected/predictable.
Shadow's of the Damned is fresh (and completely bananas!). I mean it's by the guys who made Killer 7, Devil May Cry, No More Heroes and Resident Evil. That was reason enough for me to pick it up and it payed off.
@Smarty4789 usually in PS3 games, they are mapped to L1/R1 because they are much easier to press
Just bought this game for $5 and it is an outstanding gem of a game.
No
This game if great, really is, but i feel like some of the humor is forced, but it still holds a special place in my heart. With a ghost n goblin type objective and map load screen, and a resident evil 4 type gameplay, it holds a lot of potential, and a delivers a lot.
I get what you are saying but with my system specs the emulators works fine with very light fps drops.
I just got this game. will play it this evening. Looks kinda like a combination of resident evil and devil may cry
DmC? 🤣 No!
This game was so unique and fun! It had awesome enemies and some of the funniest dialogue ever. I wish this game did better, it really deserves more attention.
Unfortunately, spoilers... Well, still much better than the current GameSpot fiasco...
@adham2000eg I know that... I just wanted to know what were the controls for this game. Sometimes stupid developers map them to L2/R2 and don't let us change it in the options and I hate that.
@AgentCell So is it worth getting for one who loves Resident Evil 4&5 and Dead Space 1&2?
yes this game is worth the $20 that it costs new nowadays ...
support devs who take chances
are the aim and shoot controls on PS3 mapped to L1/R1 o L2/R2?
Just ordered the game online. Hope its a fun experience.
@YoungZer0
Thats basically what I said, I never said gamespot was immune at all, I was rather saying that it was, if you read the whole situation.
Do sports games, or puzzle games have stories? Ninja gaiden series is a prime example of a game you enjoy, solely on gameplay.
just how many demon hunters are there? Dante, Gene, the NeverDead guy, the list goes on
Amazon has it for $29.99 new right now. Just ordered mine.
If not something else, this games does remind us that games should be fun, artfull, unrealistic (except sports), daring and deffinitelly single player minded.. But if you don't care about those things, what's important is that the game is good. If you buy games for the multiplayer rent it.. If not deffinitelly buy it
When making this, I imagine the most commonly used phrase was 'why the fuck not'
I think shadows of the damned 2 is coming out next year. I mean that's what I heard but I cannot wait til part 2 comes out. shadows of the damned is 1 of my few top games. because of this game now I like shotng games.
This game proves that Games can be art
being fully honest my 3 fav games are Resident Evil 4, Half Life 2, and Bioshock
creepy but unique and funny lol killed my stiffy
@THERAVENAK47 The game is really fun and you'll enjoy it all the way through. However, I recommend that you rent it because sadly it's only 8 hrs long with no new+ game mode and extra content.

this game is like a fusion between RE4 and DMC. Excelent game
I was afraid this game would be more style over substance & clearly it looks like it has its issues, just from some of the videos alone, but at the same time, it's one of those games that you're just intrigued to play.
I've noticed something... Is this the same guy who reviewed Infamous 2??
There's a giant Goat urinating in a goblet-shaped statue, I'm sold.
@YoungZer0
No worries, here's my attitude: "Don't accuse someone of being a jerk/ignorant etc, if the people in question are of the kind explain to them why they'd get so much more work done with reasoning arguments, citing your facts, etc."
Think about it, atleast...
I'm sorry, I'm getting weird right now as with the completely dispicable situation right now in my country (Norway)
@razeenraz no not really apart from the controls.
@MrNeoshredder well, yes, its a puzzle game
This game is really great! Although it's kinda short, I beat it in a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes, but it was worth replaying since I haven't upgraded all of my guns! Worth my 20 bucks!
What games do you like? Honestly, too. DOn't just be choosing good story games, either.
i've got both, though i didn't think vanquish was as good as people said, yeah i did enjoy it but i thought it became too repetitive (even though it was so short)
got this last and love it, so underrated and should have sold far better. vanquish is another great game that should have done a lot better.
is the game worth buying? please reply
sometimes game reviewers like gamespot wont admit the game is that damn good this game reminds me so much of resident evil 4 it just has that horror feeling times 10
I recommend this game to hella friends, yeah they try recommend me a different HellRide in Dante Inferno but im happy i chosen Garcia over Dante.
@YoungZer0
Doubt it, max sentence here is 21 years...
this game reminds me of a survival horror dantes inferno.
@brucewayne264
you should give the game a try
if youve played Resident evil or Killer 7 you might like it alot
yes i did say that, but we're all entitled to our own opinions aren't we?
but if you don't like the story/characters then why would you invest yourself in the game just for the gameplay?
@AgentCell
It is all those things that you mentioned and exactly what I enjoyed about it. However, it is rather short lived... sadly. I would really want a sequel but I don't expect that it will happen.
@duckman66 i definitely agree i hope they make a sequel to this kickass game
japanese developer goes for creativity and content, western developer goes for graphic and multiplayer.

Playing on emulator currently.
The end of the video is so weird ... Lol

@@CarSetupMaster It's true, his games are so creative yet so underrated
this is an excelent game, and very funny too
@MikamiPro how many games have you played this year? there are so many better games. dont get me wrong, this one is very fun
Because you like the gameplay.
@YoungZer0
what do you expect from the guy who created RE4? he can not make extension from that game play?
graphics are always not the strongest from japanese developers unless they are kojima production or SE.
japanese developed games usually have slower pace or more complex (sometimes clunky) controls, the precise aiming system in the game adds more variety in gameplay which is refreshing for a 3rd person shooter game. it takes creativity to do that, thank you.
i thought that demon at 2:14 looked scary then i heard its voice :)
@ANinja11 well i dont know about the other two but the creator of re4 was behind this along with the dude that made killer 7 and no more heroes i think and the creator of silent hill
Talk about mixed reviews. Still gettin' it!
@robotpanda77 Thank you for that comment. I'm just going to get the game used for a eek at GameStop. Watched 20 seconds. Hope I'm in for something good..

You didn't ask a question in the first place.
@purg4t0r1 i know i just talking gameplay wise
This review just felt weird
12 hours of gameplay? am i missing something ._.
Super fun game.
Not quite as AWESOME as Dantes Inferno but still looks like a blast. I questioned if this would be any good of a game but now its on my christmas list, ya theres to many other games between now and christmas that I have to worry about other than this one.

Hmmm...could end up buying this.
this game is really good, too bad there is no new game plus, I want to finish upgrade all of my guns. I got it for 30 dollars new, worth it.

The 'still number 1 game', despite criticism, is WoW for its content and creativity. Number of players indicates it.
I'm not getting on your back because you asked if the story was good. I'm doing it BECAUSE YOU SAID IF A GAME DOESN'T HAVE A STORY, THEN IT SUCKS
i've come and i've said my piece and there's absoloutly no point in arguing about it any further because we are having an arguement over the INTERNET so there's really no point
you may not give a damn about story but i do so let's just both go our seperate ways and forget all this pointless shit
One of my least favorite reviewers but this was a great review. He sounded really bored though. I'm still buying it though!
i think this is the first game that has the word fuck in one of its achievement or trophy of course im talking about "Now That's A Big Fucking Gun" achievement/trophy
@DragONheart27X no?
holy shit why is everyone getting all over my back for asking if it had a good story, every fucking review i watch says NOTHING about the story, excuse me for having my own opinion but story is the factor that persuades me to buy a game(and btw i'm speaking for them, i know about 15-20 people at school i know who don't play ninja gaiden simply because of the difficulty)
ADD THE SCORE NUMBER TO THE END OF THE VIDEO, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THESE AND GO TO YOUR SITE AFTER THEM!
i love this game and shinji with suda 51 ^_^ so two legendry guys ..
is the story good?? he said nothing about the story and that to me is the most important part of any game.
Holy cow, I wish this came to PC.
Just buy a console
@@CarSetupMaster No need since you can play it at 60fps, 1080p on RPCS3 emulator.
i just beat vanquish this weekend is a awesome game
@DragONheart27X now dont question this games logic
Wow, the top comments are genious. How did you do that?
FINALY! gamespot gives us a good review
Seems like a mix of RE4, BioShock and Gearz of War.
just got on play.com!
@gohcool with all the mumble jumble aside, both east and west have their own fair share of great games.
Great review.
I thought in the end the goat demon is gonna wave his Johnson to the camera.
You asked D1NOSAWR that and not me....
Whos Sick of those 30 sec publicity on gamespot chanel all the time ????
@thejobloshow No, when Duke Nukem make jokes about rape is just bad taste, just like when trying to do jokes about one's sexual orientation.
Shadows jokes are not classy, but they don't go over the limit with it
thanks to this game, now I know demons piss and shit too!
For some reason, this games reminds me of God Hand.
