Shade of the damned - Xbox360 - GR review

5:39 PM Posted by Mario Galarza


Or so says Garcia fucking Hotspur, which is carving the name in your meat before he kills you, daemon scum! This is why I play love and review a Suda 51-game: I can write crap like this and it makes sense. Okay, well, it actually does not mind fucking at all, but it's sure fun.
Let us try an experiment: in an effort to you a sense of the shadow of the damned as crazy, I better to start each paragraph with a random piece of dialogue or observation about the game. If you in humorous confusion after reading they are great links - you have come as close as possible to know the experience of playing the game. If you can sense from it - is in a psychiatric hospital pronto check-in.

 


"You fill these cracks quick, with your explosive hot Boner!"
“…What? "You heard me!"
Fair warning: too many, many dick jokes get used to. The word "Boner" gets so many times it threw to not even notice a while. The dialogue in the shadow of the damned is of course quite juvenile, but to be very funny and very aware, Johnson's Boner gun embrace it as the sweet caress. As an editor I guess it on an additional layer of security because it gives me carte blanche for Boner write as often as I want. I do not remember, the last time I write Boner was able to repeatedly in a professional environment, so I'm going to abuse. Boner.


Alcohol is your lifeline in the underworld. If you are injured, take please a shot - down there the thing un-kills you!
If you a no experience with Suda 51, you already know, that style is King in Shadow. "Style over substance" is taken to an extreme that the style of the substance is. Whether it's an over-the-top-line of dialogue, morbidly ridiculous enemy design, or a totally out-of-place mini game, you will be always something equal to throw the corner for a loop and questions you, "they have just done the?" "Really?" And if you add the equation of resident evil mastermind Shinji Mikami, you get a strange mixture of creepy atmosphere with funny deposits (if not downright scary).
Johnson can turn into everything from a torch to a weapon on a motorcycle. In this last case you will be literally a Johnson riding.
The premise for all this madness is that Garcia Hotspur (so obviously a Suda name) an incumbent is healed, tattooed, Demon Hunter, and he is not shy of expressing his love for fucking demons kill. After a while, the Lord of the demons, Fleming, gets just sick and tired of García to kill his servant so he kidnaps blonde girlfriend Paula G's hot and takes her to the underworld. Garcia gives chase Johnson, with good old ex-demon as his guide through hell. Johnson dual is the conversion to all Garcia's weapons as well as and is just an awesome sign imagine a less bumbling, more dirty-minded Wheatley.



"We just leave blank and despair as our last gift for you."
"Forget but not to them, puta Claus wrap!"
The gameplay is primarily the a typical third-person shooter; nothing, the revolutionary or mind-blowing. Johnson can in three basic types of gun to get the changes, as you along, go convert: a pistol (Boner and hot Boner), a shotgun (Monocussioner) and a machine gun (teether). You can free up Johnson's torch for a strong melee attack or stun weaker enemies with your Lightshot and use an over-the-top finishers on them running.
When the darkness in closes, you find that you can be spread by eating from the human heart in it longer.
The updated weapons have unique skills – you can fire a "hot Boner payload", an attachable bomb that explodes, when large areas, at home in on demons with the dentist lock-on function delete shot or fire of a giant rolling explosive skull with the Skullblaster. All in all there are no huge selection of ways to have underworld dirt that but there is just enough variety, which get it not boring.


If need to remove the darkness, but not a mounted goat head can find, simply tracking of the giant hand it spit out and slide your torch.
Awesome little mini-game moments are used to spice up the action, whether it is twin-stick side-scrolling-shooter, bowling and pachinko for zombies or Prostavlenie huge Hammerheads with big Boner, after Johnson called erotic hotline. Boss battles get pretty wild and crazy; where else you have a boss, that rides on a dead horse food is carried to his Ross heart see increase in size, eats his body if he is big enough to swallow it, and finally a concentrated stream of darkness in a well pisses off as soon as he is 20 stories high?


If you need a mobile source of light, follow monkfish singender golden.
An incredibly good soundtrack for Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka accompanied this madness, but if you expect sound like Silent Hill, you are in for a surprise. Some of them - the horror stories, art parts - do, of course, but there is an astounding variety of sound effects and music, which always seems perfectly but never what you'd expect. Stomping hard rock track, if you select a new game is only suitable as the haunting Opera music by a mysterious antagonists of the game.



Strawberries are a delicacy in the underworld. The dirty little secret? They are made from human tongues. If you think this is bad - now, the phrase "pop your cherry" a little bit added significance has down there.
If you have found it out now I love such as disturbing and nuts Shadows of the Damned is not. Then again, I love Suda 51 games; always crazy as mixed as the reception to Killer7 was, it remains one of my favorites. For people like me, who in Suda stuff or strange Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro type shit, is this a ' A' game. This is of course a rather niche of demographic, and not all others going to appreciate it at the same rate. The game is also a 10-hour story mode which provides nothing more, as soon as you reach the awesome extension. If you don't, that's worth $60 debt not think I you really.


But no less makes the shadows of the damned cool. If you interested in this kind of madness, debt you it to yourself to check it out. Oh, and let the drugs and alcohol behind - the game is trippy enough.

B+Revolution in the report card + too much style for words +/-WTF? + omitted when immature, dialogue +/-WTF? + enough different things interesting +/-keep WTF? + Akira Yamaoka soundtrack is a beast - history of 10 hours and nothing else definitely not for everyone
