I was hoping Shadow Complex would be out by now but apparently not.

SC is pretty cool....another purchase....eventually.

Still playing Trials alot

[Twigg4075]

SC is a lot of fun. I'm not entirely impressed by the controls. For anyone that disagrees just try and get through all the training/tutorial levels.

[Twigg4075]

It's not that they are bad it's just that they aren't very precise. Trying to use the grappling hook and making precise jumps are two things that really stick out to me.

The exploration part of the game is awesome though. I love finding hidden passages and power ups.

Just a tip for those that aren't already aware because I found this out late, shoot all the crates you see.

Shadow Complex is awesome......great 2D sidescroller with sweet ass graphics and great depth. Looks like it might take a while to beat.

I hope I get to play through the game with the crazy suit!

I also love how I unlocked a gamer pic while playing. I'm pretty sure 'Splosion man is supposed to have the same feature but they haven't updated it yet.

All games should be like that. You should unlock themes and pics in game. Charging for that stuff is bullshit.

Its so much like Super Metroid its scary, love the game though.

My only complaint so far is how imprecise the shooting controls are when you have to aim in 3D ground.

Maybe I haven't played it since they updated it?

I got a gamer pic on my first play of it on the day it came out...so I'm not sure?

Maybe I did get a gamer pic. But I think they were supposed to have unlockable shirts for your avatar and a theme too. But I thought I heard that was in an update.

SC is so damn cool. I love it's old school feel with the secret rooms and hidden items.

Edit: Has anyone bought all of teh Summer of Arcade games? I've bought them all except MvC and was wondering how the 800 point rebate worked.

I bought Trials and SC this afternoon just before I left for work and my account hasn't updated with the extra 800 yet, so I'm not exactly sure when it's going to go through.

BTW Twigg, you need to step it up, I've passed your Trials times in almost all the courses I've run.

As far as I know with the Splosion Man thing, the last I heard was there was supposed to be some sort of update released to unlock the ability to get the unlockable clothing item.

Seriously can't wait to finally break in SC once I get some more time in on Trials. Sadly, I've got another 2 or so hours before I can finally get home and continue playing.

For the second time, I'm not trying to compete in that game. I'm just trying to finish all the tracks.

But if you want competition check out my cousin, gamertag Montto. I'm pretty sure his times blow yours and JMS's out of the water. He's a freak at that game. He has all but two achievements.

bring it on Ral!!!

bring it on Ral!!!

Oh hell, I know I won't beat you in this. You get in Splosion Man, then you're in my territory, but as of this moment, I'll be surprised if I can beat more than like 5-10 of your times in the game. I'll give it a shot though.
