    An in-depth storyline and manic plot twists make Shadow of Destiny a highly enjoyable game. A bit more suspense would help but with 6 normal endings(2 B endings) and two EX endings it'll keep you playing for ages!

    A very good adventure game with a fantastic premise, spoiled largely by the poor voice acting of the main character. Man, he could have been so much cooler. But in the end Shadow of Destiny proves to be a cerebral story with fun but basic adventure gameplay. I found the lack of interactivity not nearly as vexing as many of the game reviewers did, partially because I think that the various plot twists, multiple endings, and subtle details make SoD better billed as an "interactive movie" than a game. But on that front it's a great cinematic achievement--the best yet on any system--and well worth it for anyone who loves a good story.… Expand

    Great storyline and overall a very original game. I just have 2 complaints: first of all, it wasn't very interactive. It was just too easy to figure out what you were supposed to do there was too much instruction. A 3 year old could beat this game no problem. My second complaint is that it was too short. I beat it in a few hours. But still this game is worth playing and I suggest you at least rent it, if not buy it.… Expand

    This game is absolutely, without a doubt, the worst game I have ever played in my life!! I'd rather watch a damn Olsen-Twins movie 100 times in a row than play this game again. The only good thing I can say 'bout this game, is that it has good graphics, and that the storyline is complete and tied together niceley. But the storyline itself sucks! I can't believe someone wasted time making this game.… Expand

    I thought the game was excellent, it was a short game, but it was unique. It was different from every game on the market which makes it 10 times better. A game just doesn't need good graphics, it needs a good story line too, and that seems to be the problem with game now, is that games will have incredible graphics but the story line will suck or vice versa. This game has both and it was a very exciting game. I was wondering if someone could email me (Train3030@webtv.net) about any info on if there is gonna be a Shadow of Destiny 2? Please email me soon, thank you.… Expand

    Shadow of Destiny is a bittersweet gaming experience to say the least. On one hand, in such an early PS2 lifetime it produced solid visuals, and pushed the storytelling aspect of games to a level still unseen to this day. But on the other hand, the control feels robotic enough to give Resident Evil a run for it's money, and the game doesn't spend enough time keeping you engaged to the point where the next twist was actually THAT exciting. A good game, but nothing I would do more then rent.… Expand

    Largely ignored by the mainstream gaming press, this fabulous epic of a game will draw you in with both its warmth and its ever-increasing tale.

    Gamers willing to invest the time required to unravel the title's mysteries will discover one of the PS2's most enjoyable games and one of the most original adventure games to grace a console.

    It is a bit on the short side, but the upside is a fantastic plot that has numerous side stories to it that cannot all be experienced in a single play.
