Shadow Of Memories (PS2) Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

After being unceremoniously murdered in the ...  Read the complete review

One of the best. - Advantages: Engaging plot, Mesmerising movie sequences, Brilliantly rendered characters - Disadvantages: Too short, unless you play over and over

Shadow of Memories was one of the first games on the PS2, however, already outdated in this fast moving market, and is a rather distinctly average game. You play the hero Eike, who has just died, and play a game where you can morph through time, in order to stop your killer, and to prevent your own untimely death. Which varies, from ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

This was one of my first PS2 games. I enjoyed it, although it is very short. SoM is based around the events of one day in Eike's life. It starts when he leaves a cafe and is killed. He is then taken back in time to a room where he is met by a mystical creature. This creature wants to help him to use a time-travelling datapad to ...  Read the complete review

Before buying this game, i had read reviews in magazines that praised it to high heaven, and i have always been an adventure game fan, so decided to try it. Words don't sum up what a horrible mistake i made. I will start with the good points. The graphics are beautiful, and there are lots of great video cuts. It also had a ...  Read the complete review

Shadow of memories is from the developers of silent hill, currently available for the playstation(my view 10/10-better than resident evil), so you know your in for a treat here. U play Eike in the present day who wakes up in a small cafe, after leaving you walk down a sidestreet and the camera moves back to give the impression of someone ...  Read the complete review

Baffling, interesting, and annoying the many ways to describe "Shadows of Memories". This is a strange game as it is brilliant and original one minute but the next it is dull and boring. The plot is straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, you play Eike young man who is destined to die a bloody death. But with a magical device, which can ...  Read the complete review

Shadow of Memories in on the lines of Silent Hill, yet another great adventure game has been created here by Konami! The major difference from silent hill is the fact that there is no killing of bizaare zombie/baby/monster thingys. You play 'Eike Kusch' in this bizaare adventure, game. But this is no ordinary ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
