4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome game, good guide!, January 2, 2000

First, I would like to say that Shadow Man is one of the best video games I have ever played. It has a higher maturity level, beautiful hi-res graphics, and tons of levels and objectives. I would definitely buy this game if I were you. As for the guide, it is very helpful. This is not the kind of guide that tells you exactly what to do every second, but rather a guide that will help you if you're lost, and give you a general direction if you don't know what to do next (you have to find many items on your own).

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone documenting this turkey gets an 'A' for effort..., September 22, 1999

The only thing more tedious than playing this infuriatingly redundant game must be describing how to circumnavigate the maddeningly homogenous and sprawling levels...Seriously this game makes tooth extraction look like an attractive alternative. It's reminiscent of MacDonald's Kurdy; an eternity spent breaking granite with straw. In fairness to the programmers', Shadow Man is absolutely beautiful, the interface is simple and relatively clean. The immensity of the environment makes the game incredibly boring: Lara is more graceful and athletic. Gordon is much faster, and not as prone to endless meandering in go no where levels...

the game was cool.The only problem I saw was that you had to shoot each enemy so many times.I think it's a great game to buy and rent.
