The particle effects may only be present during time period changes, but they look fine as well. Animations don't look too awkward, and there is an overall sharpness in the picture quality. The character models still look pretty good, and the colors don't feel as washed out as they do on other games. The transition to the small screen retains the same look to a fault.

Unless their PS2 copy is broken or their system gone, those players will be perfectly content with their original version, knowing that this PSP iteration offers nothing new or special.Īt the time, the game's graphics were fairly impressive on the PS2. All of the puzzles, solutions and endings are the same, and while new fans will be perfectly fine with this, there is no incentive for any veterans to run out and purchase this game. There are no new camera angles to explore, no new cut scenes or characters to interact with, and no new extras to be opened. Save for a few minor changes in dialogue, such as the renaming of the digipad to z-pad, everything else here is a carbon copy of the PS2 original. If there is one knock that can be levied against Shadow of Destiny, it would be that it really is just a port of the PS2 game. The adventure is decently long and lasts six to eight hours, depending on the path taken, but with eight different endings, including bonus endings, players will be motivated to try things differently the minute they beat the game. Just about every puzzle, which is cleverly laid out, and every approach to said puzzle carry some sort of consequence that alters your approach to the game. The title's most significant trait is the branching story line.

The free-roaming nature is also a big plus since most adventure games tended to have their adventures limited to small, confined areas. Time traveling, for example, is a nice little twist since you have to constantly think about how your actions will affect future versions of the characters you'll meet in the game. There are a few traits that make Shadow of Destiny a bit different than other adventure games. Your quest is to figure out why you died and try to change fate to prevent that from ever happening. After some thought, you accept the offer and come back to life moments before you die.

After you breathe your last breath, you are sent to a peculiar room with the voice of a Homunculus offering to help you cheat death. This one starts off with your character, Eike, dying immediately. Most games start off with your main character being alive.

While fans of the original will find little to nothing new here, gamers who want to try something different will find lots to keep them interested for some time.

With the Sony PSP experiencing a renaissance of sorts, Konami felt that the time was right to give its game another chance on a system that's currently on the upswing. There are more of them interested in trying something different, and adventure games have received a bit more exposure lately. The game fell into a bit of obscurity after that, relegated to being a small cult favorite. While some gamers were delightfully surprised at what the title delivered, others were disappointed since it was different from what they expected, and the community waited for more action-oriented fare from the studio.

Coming hot on the heels of Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, players expected this new entry to be full of action with a deep story and possibly a few scares along the way. In early 2001, Konami released a fairly ambitious adventure game, Shadow of Destiny, on Sony's newest console at the time, the PlayStation 2.
