Shadows of the Damned combines visceral grindhouse-style action with dark, grotesque horror to create a mind-shattering adventure that has to been seen to be believed.

This game is a fun and exciting (albeit twisted) adventure into the demonic underworld. However I was able to go through it in about 7-8 hours and there's almost no reason to play it after that. No multiplayer, no "new game+" feature, so unless you're really craving to go through the whole game again there's no reason to hang on to it. The single player story is fun, with great controls (in my opinion this is what the controls in RE5 should have been like). So bottom line a one time playthrough.
