I first discovered this game on Amazon while looking through other games. It instantly caught my eye because it reminded me of Ico, which has always been one of my all-time favourite games. I'm constantly looking for games similar to Ico, so when I saw this I knew I had to give it a try. If you're a fan of Ico I'm sure you will notice, as did I, several similarities throughout the gameplay. For example; the boy is stuck in the tower much as Ico was trapped in the castle. You also fight shadows, just like Ico. That being said, I had a lot of fun with this game. It takes a level or two to get used to looking at the shadows instead of the physical objects. I died a few times in the beginning forgetting I couldn't step into the physical world. Once I got the hang of it, however, I enjoyed it very much. As much as I enjoyed the game though, I find it was still a bit lacking. I found myself wanting more out of it as I progressed through the levels, but I was never rewarded. The ending added to this disappointment. After feeling triumphant and like you accomplished so much, the ending just waltzes in and slaps you smack in the face, leaving you with the feeling that you did everything for naught. Perhaps in my mind I'm comparing it too much to Ico, which it could never live up to, and that's why I'm being so harsh. For what it's worth though, I still think it was an enjoyable game, but it had so much potential to be better. I still would recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzle or platformer games though, because it is an interesting concept.Read full review
One of the greatest hidden gems of a video game in the past 20 years. If you like the puzzle-platformer genre of games, get this. Trust me. The story is lacking, but that's not why people who love these types of games play them. It isn't cumbersome to be a completist with this game, and get 100% on everything.

lost in shadow is a video game where you try to kill a butterfly with a magic singing that won't shut up (believe me I have tried) about the peanut butter and if you give the magic singing sword peanut butter it will make you do the chicken dance(seriously it will come out of the TV and punch you in the face until you do the chicken dance)just so you know there is no peanut butter in lost in shadow so you have got to get some real peanut butter and throw it at the TV. but all that won't kill the butterfly instead the butterfly comes out of the TV and kicks you in the legs until you sing "believe" by Cher but it doesn't stop there oh no you have yell four zero five until that is all you know. so why buy lost in shadow you tell me 175
first of all, watch the game's trailler. if you got your breath taken just like i did, then you know you should buy this game. if you don't have the time to do it or just want to read a buyers oppinion, let me tell you that this game is so good i had to unplug my wii console from electricity in order to go back to study (i'm finishing college this semester and have a huge work to deliver till june). good looking graphics and a mind tripping experience for all of those who didn't believe 3d platform games couldn't be so awesome.
