A love child of work between game designers suda 51, shinji mikami, and famed silent Hill composer Akira yamaoka, shadows of the damned is a third person shooter of Mexican badass, Garcia Hotspur, on a trip through hell to rescue his beloved Paula from a demented Demon overlord.

God I love this game, cheesey and slylish, sort of like a RE4 knock off but with its own charm. Have heard they have stopped printing this game so grab a copy while you can

This game is horrible. The controls are very clunky, the bosses are very repetative and they take too long to kill. The game tries to be funny but its just dry. I pre-ordered this game hoping to be as fun and good as no more heroes,but i was sadly mistaken.

How would you kill time without games like these? From start to finish this is game is pretty cool. You can't play this game before family coz there is some nudity but in all it has thrills and chills. The game is pretty achievable in terms of upgrades.

`Shadows of the Damned'; you had me at Garcia Hotspur. You don't have to include a wisecracking skull that turns into a gun, or a series of outlandish demons, just give me a central hero called Garcia Hotspur and let me unleash hell on the demon hordes.

Shadows of the Damned is set in Hell, though you'll occasionally wonder why things don't always look hellish. I say "occasionally," because this game is, in fact, seriously messed up -- and I mean that in the best possible way.

Shooting hell beasts is always fun; Unique sensibility draws you in; Lowbrow humor eventually wins you over

Probably too many dick jokes for some; A little too linear; Virtually no replay value

HELLISHChallenge - Hell is quite the dangerous place. Things start off simply enough, but enemies get tough very fast, and you'll find yourself overwhelmed quite quickly as enemies surround you.

A demon with a goat's head is riding a horse that defecates pure darkness. Then the demon eats the horse's heart, grows to the size of a ten-story building, eats the rest of the horse and proceeds to urinate more darkness into a gigantic fountain. That's just the first boss.

Shadows of the Damned doesn't quite hit the heights of either Suda51 or Mikami's history, but as long as you're willing to accept the sometimes vulgar humour there's an experience well worth its weight, and comes to a clever climax finale around the 10-12hour mark that leaves me hoping there's...

Playful and fun puerile entertainment welcomed; Fantastic unique art style; A solid story with a great and clever conclusion

Enemy AI and boss mechanics fall short, Some poor level variants, i.e; 2D shooter levels, Will no doubt offend anyone particularly sensitive
