No: meh, I don't know.
Rent: yeah
I'm split on Shadow of the Damned. I enjoyed Shadow of the Damned, but at times I wanted it to be over.

By the end I wasn't so hot on it but I remember having a lot of fun with the game. Think this and El Shadai are the games/ip from that gen that I want back
FUCK YEA! Loved the 1st one, got it and beat it this year and would Gladly buy play and beat another!
I loved Shadows of the Damned. I hope it goes bc on Xbox because I doubt it gets a remaster. Hell, I doubt this sequel ever happens. I'd love to be wrong but didn't this sell like absolute shit?
Garcia Fucking Hotspur
It goes on sale digitally every few months too.
It is BC on Xbox One. I double dipped digital when it was added about 2 years ago. What we do need now is an X enhancement!

I feel like a fool. How have I not known this? AWESOME!
Abso-fucking-lutely yes.
Enormously underrated game. It has exceptionally satisfying moment-to-moment encounter design and combat. The hit feedback, gore, and sensation of shooting things feels rewarding and punchy. The game rarely dwells on any one particular scenario for too long, with exception of the 2D sections. It's short, but suprirsingly varied in its locations and special enemy types.
It oozed style, too. A mate of mine at the time described it as "like playing a Heavy Metal Album" and I think that's an apt description of the vibe and presentation. It's grungy and rocky, leather and studs, heavy and gothic. Yamaoka's work on the soundtrack is outstanding, blending metal and rock with flamenco guitar.
Honestly loved the game and would guzzle up a sequel.

Totally. Very much enjoyed the first one.
Strong ideas, tight gameplay, charasmatic characters. What's not to have fun with.

Yes, I would. I liked the first game. The only thing I would like though is for the sequel to maybe have more replayability. Let me unlock new game modes and stuff, like the RE games.
Absolutely. I had a lot of fun with the first, and feel like the gameplay refinements that have occurred over the past few years or so could really make a sequel something spectacular. It's also been long enough for it to be a really meaningful sequel, with improvements across the board.
Unfortunately no. SotD is one of those games where I liked everything except actually playing it. Mostly frustrating with little fun to be had. I'll settle with watching a Let's Play of it if I ever get the itch for more Shadows.
Now a sequel to Killer is Dead? Sign me up.
Oh cool, same here. The one with the purple slipcover and Yamaoka's signature in gold ink, right? Bought that sucker as soon as it went up for order.

Shadow of the Damned was fucking great. Sure it was too short and some of it didn't work (wasn't there a weapon called huge boner or something) but it was different and had soul. I love games like this one. Bring it on Grasshopper!
I went and picked up a used copy at Gamestop. Only $5. Also got Spec Ops: The Line.
