So if you haven't heard, Epic released a side-scroller game called Shadow Complex. It's like Bionic Commando Rearmed, but it combines aspects of 3D stuff.
I like the game so far despite the annoying stuff that any side-scroller may contain. The story is pretty corny; a couple go hiking and the chick goes into a cave to play hide and seek and the guy must find her. This is taken litterally when some bad guys capture her thinking she was trying to break into their base. The game has lawlcastic cut seens.

I love shadow complex. I played through it on hardcore and am going back and replaying on insane to get 100%. best thing I've ever used ms points on. Only problem I have with the game is shooting at guys outside of the 2d axis. Id end up shooting straight up half the time. I also wish it had more than one save slot, but whatever.

i don't have a problem with it; i think if you're "accuracy" is high enough, it auto-aims a bit.

so i was pretty skeptical about it and then i played the demo and bought it before the demo was done. first play through im doing it on insane. hasn't felt that insane yet. ive died a few times. i can image that on hardcore i would find it WAY too easy. as it is, i still find it pretty easy because of the poor AI.

but i enjoy it for the exploration, so im liking it a good bit...in fact, im about to play a bit

im a little bit past the part where you have to swim across the lake

Hold on a second here -

Is this the SAME shadow complex that has you running around with a knife doing suplex's and shit while being a stealth action game to topple the MGS series that was announced 3 years ago?

Guess its changed =/

Is the story still as good as they made it out to be back then?

I've got Shadow Complex and i really enjoyed playing it through. Was a satisfying 5 hours! I'm pretty certain it'll be replayed too! Lots of sweet content, tight gameplay and generally nice production values (graphics, sound, etc).

Fucking lmao, no. Unless it's completely changed, haha, because the game is nothing like that.

To settle a bet that I'm not in it for the achievements. I glitched after the first boss on the demo and played through the entire game on one sitting and without unlocking any achievements.

Best, Friday, Ever.

Until another side-scrolling game of epic proportions comes out, at least.
