    Really forgettable. Aside from the premise it really wasn't much more than a puzzle solver. It's original, but I just found it boring. The only Adventure games I ever liked were Grim Fandango and Full Throttle though.

    It may seem ironic that Shadow of Destiny, one of the best PC adventure games to come around in some time, was originally a console game.

    A cleverly written adventure game, and offers a thought-provoking twist on the ol' murder-mystery genre. [Sept 2002, p.76]

    Maybe I'm way off base here, but I expect my games to contain actual gameplay and not be a series of ong, poorly acted cut-scenes, lightly salted with puzzles that require the intelligence of a gnat to solve. [Oct 2002, p.114]
