'The Metroid Complex': Shadow Complex vs. Metroid

A love letter to Metroid. That's the pitch Epic games has put to players anticipating the release of Shadow Complex – a side-scrolling action-adventure-platformer in the traditions of Nintendo's venerable series. In no uncertain terms, Shadow Complex is, indeed, very much Metroid for your Xbox 360 and PC. But, excising the space-borne Samus Aran for Jason 'Captain-Generic-White-Guy-Harrison Ford-Meets-Nathan-Drake-Meets-Nathan-Fillion' Flemming, what really remains is a game with its own unique flavour.

why VS? they could have said comparaison.

Metroid is a great series that I've been enjoying since a early kid and the devs that are making shadow complex also have said that they were influenced by the game and their is some key elements that will resemble the Metroid world.

ChickeyCantor5410d ago

Comparing and competing, both of them kinda fit.

But anything that would play like SuperMetroid/fusion will be loved by me =D.

SRU96005409d ago

I'm very much looking forward to Shadow Complex and Trials HD.

Those two games + Splosion Man = a happy me.

LoaMcLoa5409d ago

Epic Games should focus on Gears 3 instead :S I'm only buying Metroid: Other M

Epic didn't make this game so what focus would be lost by Shadow Complex? I would also love for you to explain to me why you wouldn't try this game but you would purchase Metroid: Other M? It almost sounds as if you'll be ignoring Shadow Complex on purpose. Do you own a PS3? That might explain why. Just a guess.

The original is always better but it's good that newer games take inspiration from the original and evolve the ideas and mechanics that made the original so great.

ape0075409d ago

look really amazing,cause it combines the classic\rewarding game style+intense huge fire fights

this might be the greatest arcade game ever released on xbla

36T5409d ago

Agreed! I think it's gonna sell very well. Expect the next one to be a full sixty dollar game.

all for 1200 MSP!

Edit: who is the idiot that disagreed? Since the price has already been announced.

Quite a big sale but not entirely convinced all are decent deals. Glad to see the 360 gets a few more offers this week. I wish Screamride was on sale by itself!

Gears Ultimate Day 1 Edition? I can understand picking up day 1 physical editions at later dates, that were stuck in the retail channel for whatever reason. Late "day 1" digital sales make no sense at all though.

Pastorfuzz2945d ago

State of Decay on Xbone is great.

OldGuyStillGaming2945d ago

This is the 5th or 6th time they've had Battlefront on "sale" in the last few months
Still overpriced imo
