This game is awesome!! and is one of the best horror games .It takes a while to get in to,but once you do,you will love playing this game.It is a really long game 70 to 80 hours with very complex levels and has a great mature story line.The voice acting and story is one of the best i seen in a video game.The graphics are really good and is the best looking version out of the N64,PS1 and PC.The music and sound effects are really good and will scare the hell out of you.It is one of the most mature game you will ever play and no one under 17 should play this game.

THE BEST GAME EVER MADE !!! HAS IT ALL !!!

This was the first game I have ever played, and it was an amazing experience. This game truly has it all, the Story, The Enemy, The Monsters, The places, The items to collect, great character !!! I have played this game 5 times already over and over and it does not stops to amaze me, how well thought it is. I truly wish there were another game just like it, but there is none (maybe one day)

Now THIS is the way a game should be made. Shadowman has it all, from good control to great graphics to eerie sound affects and music. I also like the mood of the game. Shadowman doesn't treat you like an 8-year old. Lets put it this way: Shadowman makes the original Hellraiser seem like a romantic comedy. Plus, instead of biologicly created super-zombies as the main bosses ala-Resident Evil, you {as Mike Leroi/Shadowman} must kill 5 serial killers. One of them even is a real person! {Jack the Ripper, anyone?} The story centers around Shadowman as he must stop Legion {the angel of death} from bringing about the apocalypse. Unfourtunately, Legion has assembled in army of zombies and demons to mutant pigs with hooks for hands to 5 serial killers known only as "the 5". Fourtunately, as Shadowman you are armed to the teeth with shotguns, UZIs, various vodoo weapons, the gads {vodoo tattoos that make impervious to fire in certain ways}, the Shadowgun {a gun that rips the soul from a persons body}, and the Violater {VERY satisfying}. And all the while, the game remains scary. If I may quote The Lizard King {leader of the 5} on their alliance with Legion:"What we see in death's dominion is as void as a dead man's gaze, as cold as the light from a dying star."

Nuff said.

Challenging, atmospheric, engaging, intricate...

I just finished Shadow Man last night. My brother couldn't stop recommending this game to me so I finally got around to trying it. Despite the fact that the animated characters in the story lacked detail (low polygon count), I did feel that their motion was outstanding and the "AI"s behind their actions where exceptional. Also, the settings were HUGE and fabulously detailed with great texture and imagination. Everything is connected to everything in this game and it really takes some time to learn the elaborate layout of locations (helps to have a big hippocampus). The story is dark and engaging and the gameplay is fabulous. Lots of great little puzzles to solve with plenty of surprises from baddies and the environment. I thought the music and sound effects where excellent - the music ranged from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" to Gregorian chant-like music to disco (funny) to house music. The musical transitions are nothing to write home about (unlike games like Banjo-Tooie on N64) but the music is well combined with a truly spellbinding array of sound effects which add great texture to the game. Some areas of the game are incredibly dark, requiring the use of a torch or flashlight that you acquire during the game (I could only play this game at night). The bosses were surprisingly easy to defeat (except for Jack the Ripper!), once you learn how, although the real fun is finding out how to defeat them and finding them at all.

Actually A 4.5

This game is awsome.It takes a while to get used to,once you do, you like it.It is a really long game, with the most complex levels i have ever seen in a game.It has nice audio,and although the graphics are bad a t times, they are good.the only downfall to this gaame is the tendancy for it to be dark. ....

Give it some time and it's got you!

This is not a game for those of you with a short attention span. It takes a while to get to the action, but it's worth it in the end. First off, the graphics are superb, a little dark at times, but I think that adds to the eerie nature of the game. Turn out the lights and play for a while, it's downright spooky at times. The sound effects match well with the whole feel of the game and include some scary death screams and such. The real reason this game is good, however, is that once you get started the game is almost completely non-linear. You can go just about anywhere at anytime. For the average gamer this can become tiresome, but if you are like me it just adds to the challenge. Trying to figure out where to go and what to do next are sometimes difficult, but I hate games that are too easy. The amount of time it takes to figure out these challenges means a lot of playing for the price of a game. I spent 30 or so hours beating the game, and for me that means pennies per hour of entertainment. If you give up easily and don't like a challenge, this game is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a hardcore gamer like me you'll eat this one up.

what a waste of money......rent before you buy this!

this game is truly bad in every aspect of the word if you like resident evil and love steady yet puzzling game play than dont even think of getting this terrible game. its too dark, worse than carrier and it just sticks you in the middle of nothing and gives you items that cant be used no matter what you do. the story line is ok but, the graphic also stink big time(which by the way are more suited for atri) ,if they could have done any thing good for this game it would have been not to make it
