This review is from: Shadow of the Beast (Video Game)

So this game was made purely for asthetic value. The graphics, artwork, and music are unmatched by any game ever made. However, where gameplay is concerned, many may find it lacking. 2-D sidescrolling made repetitive, this game is completely pre-programmed and provides no changes ever when playing. The world is vast and you could go many different paths, but only one works. It's half a joy to figure out which is the right one. Once you find the right one, though, you'll find you've memorized the entire game. It can be real hard to hit enemies with your punch or jump kick (only attacks), but the ridiculous difficulty may be enough to keep you playing. It is for me!
