Lost in Shadow Critic Reviews

A Shadow's Tale is an engaging and enjoyable platform game, with a nice artistic direction and a good number of original elements that fit effectively into the gameplay.

You'll remember A Shadow's Tale for years to come.

Lost in Shadow is a fantastic addition to the Wii library . A good game from Hudson Soft.

It's a creative and distinctive adventure in terms of both graphics and gameplay--rare qualities in this day and age--making this title well worth experiencing for yourself.

If you can keep your expectations in check, accepting that Lost in Shadow is essentially an old school Prince of Persia-inspired game with a clever twist, you will find it worth your time to try it out.

It takes time to gather momentum, but A Shadow's Tale is worth stepping out of the dark for.

The basic idea behind A Shadow's Tale is quite intriguing, but the game design fails to drain the main portion of its drive. The game plays it's strongest hand in the opening quarter and unfortunately rest of this trek is repetition of the few good ideas. If the contents were compressed and the game sold via Wiiware, the result would definitely be an instant classic.

While perhaps not a ground-breaking addition to the Wii library, A Shadow's Tale had the potential to be more than what it ended up being. Nevertheless, what was given is still quite a good experience that will delight Wii owners craving for an original concept that strives to convey a unique atmosphere to its players through a well designed soundtrack and visual style.

Lost in Shadow is a unique, rewarding and well crafted experience.

Lost in Shadow is a great experience that's spread a bit too thin. Though the core ideas behind the game are remarkable, the game's length and awkward pacing early on will frustrate some and might make others outright bored.

Ultimately I can't recommend Lost In Shadow to everyone. The puzzles and combat are too difficult for children (even on easy mode), and platforming fans will be put off by the unresponsive controls.

Interesting gameplay mechanics, sadly repeated over and over. Despite that, Lost in Shadow is a fresh and new experience, that every Wii user lloking for soemthing original should at least try.

Poor pacing almost derails this imaginative platformer, but a variety of clever puzzles in the second half of the game make it worth sticking with to the end.

I'm worried that I'm making Lost In Shadow sound bad. It's not bad. It's actually rather good. It's just nothing terribly new.

This starts out as an ingenious platformer but samey levels mean it gets stale quickly.

It's inconsistent and never quite fulfils its potential but this is far more inspired than it first appears and one of the best Wii games of the year.

A good game which had some elements to become outstanding, although it should not be discarded too soon, as it is a game very different to the rest of the Wii library, and will be liked by classic gameplay lovers, specially for its platforming and puzzle elements.

Lost in Shadows is the classic game for passionate gamers. Like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, this game isn't perfect, but the great visual style, the perfect atmosphere and the high quality of the main concept, are enough to turn a simply good title in a valuable piece for any collection.

It can be disappointing, but it's easier to view Lost in Shadow is an earnest effort with few great ideas rather than a fabrication forged of influence and familiarity.

Thankfully, the designs of the bulk of Lost in Shadow's platforming trials are clever enough, providing a mostly fun and memorable experience, if not an emotionally empty one.
