  1. After all these years, Shadow of Destiny is still a fine adventure.
  2. 71
    It's not a bad game, but it's an old one that isn't timeless or worth $30.
  3. The story and adventure itself is actually solid enough to merit checking out if you're an adventure game fan, but everyone else will want to steer clear.
  4. The moody graphics and compelling story remain impressive nearly a decade after its initial release, but Shadow of Destiny is showing its age. [May 2010, p.85]
  5. For the template the game sets out to fulfill-a story of time travel and mystery solving, it really ends up being too linear and unappealing in many rights to hold anyone's attention aside from previous fans.
  6. Unfortunately the game's premise, mechanics or characters don't help either as they aren't interesting enough to make you overcome any indifference you feel towards Eike's plight.
