Not a clue, they wouldn't tell us cuz they wanted to dominate the leaderboards, you don't have to believe it if you don't want to but I trust 'em and they have been estatic about the game and have been playing it through multiple times.
Shadow Complex? Thoughts?

I only played the trial, and... well, it certainly is ambitious.
As the OP said, it definately could've worked better with a mouse and keyboard, but it's still pretty fun on the Xbox. The plot just seems to be "onoez, govermnent is evil," which seems to be cropping up quite often to the point of annoyance.
However, gameplay-wise, it seems pretty fun. Fighting that giant robot spider was pretty fun / ridiculous.

I highly reccomend 'Splosion man, it's challenging, but great fun.hazabaza1 said:
Good Metroid clone, very pretty. The plot was almost impressive for how much it demonstrated all the things you shouldn't do in a video game story. It reads like a textbook list.
Do not drop the player in a giant open environment then have your entire game consist of going from point to point in a linear manner. Do not have scenes of the main character saying "But what can I do?" after they have slaughtered hundreds of people at will. Do not have dramatic cutscenes of "GO RESCUE HER!" then follow it up with, "Go explore and find more items!" Do not use a dramatic device in your opening cutscene (they turn off the guy's power armor) that never comes up again.
The only kind of story that has ever worked well in these games is, "Go f*** around and kill stuff." Fusion sorta got away with it because it was just you exploring the space station but here...I dunno, just skip it.
