I absolutly love this game, it's fun and addictive and even after I finished the game I still feel like playing through it a second time. The best thing about the game is how it brings a dieing breed back to life. It gives you plenty of reason to play through again and again, On top of that, the game plays and looks great with only slight problems in both. I only have a few issues with Shadow complex,one is the cliched story, if the gameplay wasn't as addictive as it is the game just wouldn't be as good. Also there are slight issues with aiming your gun, sometimes it just doesn't aim at what you want it to aim at, but it's only a slight annoyance. Shadow complex is above and beyond almost everything on the Xbox live arcade and it deserves to be played by anyone who likes action games.
