    A Shadow's Tale is an engaging and enjoyable platform game, with a nice artistic direction and a good number of original elements that fit effectively into the gameplay.

    This starts out as an ingenious platformer but samey levels mean it gets stale quickly.

    With such terrible pacing, you might not want to continue. But if you do, you'll be treated to a solid, if underdeveloped platformer. Patience is a virtue.

    Lost in Shadow commits what I consider to be gaming's cardinal sin: taking a great idea and using its originality up in a bad game. This is a real waste.

    This game is truly amazing. It fills me with such joy to play it. Gameplay is good, and the controls feel super solid.

This does add a sense that the later swords are an improvement though. The simplistic RPG system is perfect for this game, since its mainly about platforming, but it still gives your shadow a sense of growth. If you own a Wii and are looking for an underrated classic, you have found your game.… Expand

    Un plataformero muy interesante. El acabado visual recuerda mucho a ICO y crea una sensación muy agradable.
    Los escenarios está    n muy bien estructurados, la BSO acompaña excelentemente el desarrollo de una historia muy particular.
    Tristemente, la dificultad no esta bien pensada, haciendo que el juego dure mucho menos de lo que debería.    … Expand
