A third person adventure game, Shade mixes its gameplay with some shooter sections, some hack-&-slash bits and some nice tricky puzzles thrown in. With some great looking levels and graphics effects all over the shop there's plenty to get your half-demon teeth into.
You'll be taking your hard-man character through 4 different worlds, including the inside of some Egyptian pyramids (mummy!), and the spooky Shadow Land with its own special beasties.
From almost the start of the game you're given your magical glowing sword from the first of the freed angels. This sword is really the staple throughout the game with all of it's blocking and different moves that you can pick up through the game. Towards the end they get quite explosive. If of course a glowing white sword doesn't do it for you, you can pick up the weapons from your defeated foes.
The same goes for the long range weapons; you've got the staple of the Desert Eagle but picking up a cross-bow here and there is always good for sticking someone to the wall.
Of course this a magic sword isn't the only thing that the first Angel gave you; you now have a demon living inside you. This beastie takes care of all the bits that need a bit more strength than a measly human. He also has all the extra magical powers though it's mostly playing with fire (don't do it at home kids), it makes some great effects (burn, baby, burn).
So get ready from some twists in this dark adventure where the angels aren't all that they seem...
