Shadow of Destiny is a great game if you like to explore, now keep in mind this is not a Run-n-Gun or action game. It's basically about exploring the mystery and life of the main character through time travel and preventing his death. Graphics- The game looked great for its time, considering that it was released in 2001, The atmosphere is great and basically revolves around a small town of Lebensbaum. Sound & Music- Games sounds are pretty accurate, the music does go with every scene but it's nothing special it does bring each time frame to life and makes you feel like your in it. The voice acting is great and is very fitting to the characters involved, though some characters sound annoying. Controls- The controls are very simple and makes it easy for anyone of any age to play, sometimes the camera angle can get annoying but the game allows you to manually control the angle. Overall, Shadow of Destiny is a Good game, made well for its type. If exploring and mystery is for you, then this game will have a good replay value.Read full review
I had played through this and it is just amazing. <3 I can't even convey how awesome it is. In the beginning you think "Oh, average PS2 game" But then as the story goes on, you just get so wrapped up in it. I adore this game so very much, I'm so happy I bought a copy to always have on my shelf incase I want to play again, as there are MANY different endings. The whole story actually isn't told UNTIL you beat all the endings too, which is really nifty. I just love it.

Shadow of Destiny is a first generation RPG game for the PS2 Console. If you loved reading choose your own adventure books as a kid you'll love playing Shadow of Destiny. There are multiple endings, and choices that can lead to your death, other people's death, or saving lives. I hadn't played all possible realities of the game story. This is a game you can play for weeks trying to travel down all possibilities. With the ability to save at the end of each chapter you can load prior to a critical choice, and play out the path you hadn't chosen. Avoiding having to start at the very beginning of the game. The graphics and sound is incredible for a first generation PS2 game. Although, remember to change your TV's aspect ratio to 4:3 if playing on a PS2 console. The game and PS2 console were not designed for high definition, wide, flat screen TV's. Those TV's didn't exist in 2001 when the game came out. A PS3 console automatically sets the game format to fit modern 1080i TV's. I had been playing it on my backwards compatible PS3, but was having trouble with chapter three to load. Ran out and bought a PS2 and it works fine now. The game will most likely run best on a PS2 console. If your PS3 doesn't lock up like mine you'll enjoy the video picture better.Read full review
This game was fun, for a little while. It has a great story with multiple endings, all of which you are caused by your actions throughout the game. You solve some puzzles and mysteries though this game, and at the end, you probably will feel like playing through a couple more times to see another ending or two. But it does not take long to finish the story all the way through. Plus, there really is no gameplay. Your responsibility is basically to move your character from one event to the next. If your an action game fan, this game will most likely bore you. As for the graphics, sound quality, etc., they are beautiful, considering the time of release. Now, all this makes it had to give it an overall rating. It really depends on what you are looking for. So, I give it an average rating. It really is a game that is up to you to like it or not. So I say to you who may be interested in purchasing this game: Do not consider yourself purchasing a game, but rather purchasing a movie. 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.Read full review
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 story 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!!Read full review
