Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.
Keeps spooky atmosphere throughout the game. Quite complex levels, an assortment of weapons large enough. Arms upgrades spice up the gameplay even more. IMHO, well balanced and paced out.
The main character seems to be lacking somehow though, as if he was a bit phlegmatic. ;-) Perhaps it makes him more original, dunno. :-)
