With cutting edge graphics, full character voiceovers, multiple story paths and a riveting tale of mystery, Shadow of Destiny introduces the next generation of adventure games to Sony's PlayStation 2. No argument there, as SoD was a PS2 game, then a PC game and now a PSP game. Just picked up the PSP version a few days ago and it certainly brings back memories (or shadows of them, ha ha).

You could probably get this game cheaper than many movies, and this has a better story than many movies. But do not get this game expecting any action; there is nil, it is purely a playable mystery movie.

For best results when fighting Digimon, the following are good starting and backup moves.Agumon: Use Claw Attack (Triangle) and then when they get up, press Square(3), pause very briefly, then and press Up + Square (a four combo).Gabumon: Use Blue Blaster (Circle) and back it up with Horn Attack (Triangle).

THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE GAME EVER!!!!This game came out while the Playstation 2 was still new and expanding its catalog of titles. This is certainly one of the gems that came in under the radar and went unrecognized by the majority of gamers. It is a great game though.The basic premise is that you have a device that can take you back in time in order to prevent your own murder. You go back to several different time periods to unlock the mysteries of the past to solve the puzzles of the future and hopefully change your ill-fated destiny. Changing the past in the slightest of ways though can change everything though and not always for the better.

This is such a cinematic game. It really is a lot more like an intereactive movie or one of those choose-your-own-ending books more so than just an out right video game. The s tory has about a dozen different endings, and each one is very cool and very different.

I was so engrossed by this game that I had to play thru until I got them all. If you save the game in several pivotal places, you can just keep going back and making different choices, as your choices, even the simplest ones, drastically change your fate.This game is very dialogue-heavy.not a lot of action in terms of fighting and stuff like that, although there is a lot of mystery-solving and running around. The voice-overs are suprisingly very good, especially for a game that was released in 2001. This game is better than most the movies Hollywood puts out these days.

If you're into time travel, mysteries and puzzle solving, and just great stories that you have an active role in the outcome of, then this is the game for you. I have never played another one like it, and this game deserves all the recognition it can get. You can get it for very cheap these days too. Even though I've beaten this game now about 14 times or so, I'd seriously consider buying it back again after I've forgotten more of it and beating it another time or two. Now that's saying a lot!!
