One of the earlier releases for the Playstation2, Shadow of Memories is a classic and unique game with a complex storyline. Unusually the game begins with the death of its protagonist, Eike Kusch, who is murdered. With the aid of a sinister benefactor he must go back through time to other eras to solve the mystery of why he was killed and prevent his death, while avoiding the other attempts on his life occurring in the present. The game has multiple endings and a complex storyline where your choices in each time period will affect all the others. You also gain a completion percentage for each stage - to fully resolve the game you need to go into other eras ... Read the complete review

Konami make some of the best and most original games on the market. Shadow of Memories, whilst not among the most popular games ever made, is a thrillingly inventive RPG-esque murder mystery, where there's no combat or "boss fights" to speak of, but the game still offers a high degree of difficulty due to some meticulously designed gameplay, in which you must attempt to solve puzzles in order to save the protagonist's life. You play Eike, a man who was recently murdered, and given a second chance to find your killer, you must continually travel back in time and amass clues as to who did you in. Like Konami's Metal Gear Solid series, this is a very ... Read the complete review

Title: Shadow of Memories Format: PS2 Publisher: Konami From time to time a gaming title comes along that seems to be doing something that hasn’t really be done before. That’s very much the case with this PS2 title from Konami – Shadow of Memories. If you were to judge this title by picking up the box you’d be forgiven for thinking ‘that looks a bit naff’ and putting it straight back on the shelf. Try not to be so hasty though, if you give this title the patience and attention it deserves you may well uncover one of the most enlightening gaming experiences yet seen on PS2. To bring you up to speed, ... Read the complete review

Check any gaming site for a review of this release and you will find it scoring quite highly. Frequent mentions of strong gameplay, great graphics and an intriguing story-line pulled me in. The premise is that your character, Eike, is murdered but, is given the chance to save himself by a mysterious being. Once returned to the land of the living you can make use of a portable time-travelling device to unpick the reasons behind your death and make changes in the past to stop you from dying in the present. Sounds good.... ....it isn't. The game-play is formulaic and lateral. Often you are guided towards the correct choices to make in the game by ... Read the complete review

Konami's Shadow of Memories is an adventure game. But, it's no ordinary one... The game starts with you witnessing the death of your character, Eike. From then on you have to find out who killed him and why! If you've seen the film Momento (with Guy Pearce) then you'll get the general gist of it. But for those who haven't heres a little of how it works. I'll try not to ruin the plot or give too much away! At the start, you're stabbed in the back and taken to this room filled with clocks and are spoken to by a mystery voice (typical Twilight Zone stuff). You're then brought back to life to try and stop your murder. Just when you thought ... Read the complete review
