So we can all agree Shadow Man 2econd Coming is trash, right?

Right?

It had some decent moments to it, but overall, yeah it wasn't anywhere near as good. It went the same rout as The Darkness 2 did in my opinion. Shadowman 2 took elements from the original and changed them up so much that it may as well have been a reboot and not a proper sequel, and then made it look far more cartoony than the original. I thought that just about everything from the original was better except for the then controls. The only thing that Shadowman 2 had when it came out was better controls but that's a moot point now with the remaster.

But the Darkness II is a good game.

I thought that Darkness 2 was OK, but certainly inferior to the original.

I do not know, I have never played it, it is not easy to do it since playing it in an emulator the game is completely broken, so the only way to play it is if you miraculously have a PS2 and the game.

Sadly I never played the first one, but other than being a short game, the second is great.

[Soul Nibbler]

It was a huge disappointment to me.

Personally I liked it. The Best way to say it is "It's a decently good game,but not a good shadow man game." Even I agree that the tone music and story plus character's act completely different than the first.

It's either good OR decent, you can't have both. These adjectives are distinct from one another.

Yes, Shadow Man 2 is garbage. There was a thread on here about it months ago.

As I said in previous thread; one of the biggest issues with that game is that the original team who made the first, did not work on it. They instead made the Jackie Chan Adventures game that was only released in the UK (and also a PS2 exclusive).

Shadow Man is like Blood. Both games were made by a small team who were very dedicated and passionate about making an amazing game. Then both ended up with a poorly rushed sequel that was crap and didn't have the original developers working on it.

I rented it. I despised it.

I don't really tend to worry about proper english

the game is good to me as I said

it's just not really a good shadow man game

There are part's that if you look at the original and then the 2nd you can clearly see the game was wrote disigned ,and composed completly different than the first

However the content was butchered and mangled in a rush development alongside texture error's due to akklaim at the time.

If nightdive remastered it got everything working and fixed up the game added the cut stuff I would buy it. Even if it did not have shadow man in the name as I still feel it would be a good game.

[HMNuke93]

no, it isn't.

[Dr_Retro64]

Shadow Man 2 is very disappointing compared to the first game. Awful dialogue & cutscenes, awful menu navigation, boring leveldesign (although some areas do look quite nice), basically no horror elements at all and Michael Le Roi on steroid abuse. The music is nowhere near as perfect as in the first game, but still has some atmospheric tunes from time to time. Overall, it's really not a good game.

TBF you have the right to your opinion, but remember the game is actually butchered with tons of texture error's and glitch's Due to "rushed development" (as for steroid mike I have no clue why they did that?) I say in quotation's as it is pretty much when acclaim lost all their money "During" the development.

Personally I liked Irland russia and early lousiana was cool and a couple other's like I said if the game was given time and attention it could be a good game.

It's just not a good "shadow man" game
