  • There need to be more games like this.

  • It looks a lot like Trine with guns.

  • its like metriod on steriods

  • holy hell this reminds me of metal slug

  • 1:18 FALCO PAWNCH

  • i love this game, i got all the achievements for it and now im starting on the challenges, 4% on insane anyone? lol XD

  • That is literally impossible since you would lose health too fast when the C&C center explodes. Also when you take the hidden shortcut after the first boss. I've done it on casual but I'll try it on harder difficulties to see what the hardest you can do it is on.

  • lol, after 12 pain stakingly hard hours, i finally did the challenge, i have a warm feeling inside now

  • Lol, you must feel stupid that there's a way to do it in like 30 minutes.

  • nah, the actual campaign took me about an hour to do, my console kept freezing on me for some reason

  • I like the fast running when he gets the suit, makes him look pretty bad ass like samus aran in metroid. :]

  • um, no. if you actually listen to anything that any of the developers have said, the main influence is the original metroid.

  • is there anyway to get back to start with out running back to the start?

  • Xbox Live Arcade game of the Year!

  • i just did the glitch where u can play the full game through the trials and i almost beat the game but it started glitching and it became impossible so i had to quit out

  • what glitch?

  • SUPER METROID: COMMANDO.

  • CONTRA HD EDITION!!!!!

  • BIONIC COMMANDO RE-ARMED 2!!!!!!

  • It's not nearly as frustrating as that overrated POS game.

  • winnerrrrrrrrr

  • 1st day buy for me

  • looks like super metroid?

    I want it...

  • It's not the same as metroid. It's a tribute to the series, but I mean, it's a tribute, definately no metroid destroyer (as in being better than metroid).

  • Why the fuck would they send you 1600 when the game is only 1200? You are a fucking idiot.

  • Mm, Such a juicy little scam.

    Since codyjwilliams has a little brain, I'm going to say this slowly.

    SHADOW...COMPLEX...DOES....NOT­...

    COME....IN...CODE...FORMAT.

    And I highly doubt you had the money to buy 3 bundles of 1600 Microsoft Points just to buy Shadow Complex and then sell it. You sir, are a complete and total idiot.

  • i wonder what the max level will be

  • this is so sweet

  • reminds me from crysis, I mean that suit :) "maximum speed" "maximum strength"

  • God this looks so awesome

  • if this turns out to be as awesome as i think it will they shud release a sequel on a dvd to make it 10 times as big

  • great game cant wait !

  • FALCOOOOOOOON PAAANNNNCHHHH! *universe blows up*

  • At 1:19 he was like FALCON PUNCH

  • I can see them doing something with Contra arcade!

  • That suit is l33+n3ss to the extreme!!

  • you ARE an idiot

  • There are two possibilities for you:

    1/ You have problems with your eyeballs.

    2/ You're retarded.

    If you occur any of two problems above, please contact your doctor at....

    Thanks.

  • macf1soon= idiot, nuff said

  • you hardly buy an xbox for an arcade game

  • opinion.

  • shut up idiot

  • This game might be a GOOD reason to buy an XB360. At least for me. But I'm not buying a console for one good game. If the XB360 gets more games like this, then I'll think about...

    I'm having hype-attack for this game.

  • Yes! The graphic and gameplay are too great for a side-scrolling run n gun!

  • hopefully we get a sequel

  • this game look awsome and i bet it will be awsome and would ppl stop talking about how it looks like metroid and castlevania we know and the developers admit it and i dont care 2 outstanding games mashed into one for only $15 im not complaining.

  • exactly, thats the whole point of it, it IS like those 2 games and thats AWESOME...

    cant wait to play it.

  • *cough* super metroid clone.

  • Super Metroid was a better game than just about anything that's come out in the last couple years. I'd rather have a SM clone than another Final Fantasy or Call of Duty.

  • soooo many games that look awesome coming out in the last half of 09

  • feels like metroid...

  • The people making this were inspired by Metroid and Castlevania...

  • AH sokka! i see alot of metroid resemblances though, but its using the castlevannia and metroid genre

  • And there's nothing wrong with that. If the game sucks (i dont think it will) then that's there fault.

  • I think people need to do a little more research, Chair Entertainment is developing this game, and they are cool, Epic Games is just producing it.

    And Metroid betrayed me, because they hired Team Ninja to bastardize one of their best game series ever, at least Chair is cool enough to want an old school game.

  • contra meets metroid oldschool meets new school looks neat ^_^

  • yeah i'm really looking forward to it

  • when is it out ffs and same question for the new turtles game

  • shadow complex comes out 27th of august not sure about tmnt

  • This game looks insane. I can't wait to play it.

  • This game reminds me of Metroid.Hope it's out on Xbox.

  • its ONLY for xbox. this is being made by the gears of war dudes at Epic Games.

  • I can't wait to get this game. It's coming out on august 19 2009.

  • a lot better than Unchart

  • its like a super nes metroid for the 360! cant wait for this. how i miss 2d gaming.. and with todays graphics.... holy shit!

  • arcade games give achievements?

  • usaly 200 max

  • Yes, but you sure want it for more than getting some achievements... right?

  • well yeah, but i just had no idea if arcade games get achievements

  • i think it would be better if it were first pesron or third person shooter But for an 2d game its awesome

  • The people who created this game were metroid fans for sure! Looks fun as hell!

  • i know dude im a big metroid fan but if i lpey this game i feel like i betraid metroid =' *

  • I know dude, I'm a big Metroid fan, but if I play this game I will feel like I betrayed Metroid.

    Sorry, I don't usually do that, but for some reason it bothered me.

  • so cool

  • i think its gonna show us a new experience of 2d gaming

  • this looks amazing for an xbla game

  • This game looks awesome it has the old school look witch I like.

  • Oh,this is totally cool

  • Everyone understands the political background behind this game, right? You guys know that it's a tie-in with the novel Empire, by Orson Scott Card, in which a handful of conservative US Spec Ops soldiers have to fight a terrorist organization made up of Democrats that takes over the government, right? Just making sure...

    Anyway, yeah the game looks cool. I'll buy it.

  • If a handful of rogue democrats take over the government they won't be terrorists - They will be the salvation of this nation and possibly the world. But regardless of politics I'll be getting this game.

    STAY AWHILE - STAY FOREVER HAHAHA

  • What is this I don't even

    Salvation of this nation? I lol'd.

  • I LOL'd too. This game must be based on reality.

    And who gave me a thumbs down for simply stating the background of the video game? LOL! Get a grip!

  • Also, I hope that there is sequence breaking in this game. Being able to obtain the Varia suit in under 10 minutes in Metroid: Zero Mission is really what made that game awesome.

  • This type of game is by far my favorite. I really wish that this genre would make its way back to the big productions, rather than just as Arcade titles. My reason for this is that because the level design can really take off, as can be seen here, and in the game Trine. Plus, the discs that games are stored on now would allow for humongous maps and outrageous game times. But, unfortunately, that doesn't seem very likely any time soon. :/

  • EXACTLY what I was thinking. I mean, if they were huge maps on cartridges with tons of little secrets and sequence breaks, etc., The possiblities with the disc space nowadays are damn near limitless. Especially if you'd put it in 2d. It's be crazy. I can only wish for a Metroid or Castlevania to be so huge.

  • ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG looks fucking AWESOME!I hope it wll come out on pc (PS3 would be better XD) anyways looks great!

  • Shadow complex looks great I will probably purchase it if i feel the price point matches the quality of the game.

  • LOL BLACK PEOPLE

  • the closests were gonna get to super metriod on XBLA

  • I agree

  • we already had contra. why is this game so much more special?

  • bad fucking ass

  • i love these 2D side scroller games, there ridiculously fun, addictive. and this looks like a knockout :P bringing back the 2D genre and hopefully there'll be more like this in the coming year(s) xD

  • I'm def gonna get this. Probably will be 1600 MS points though but whatever, looks great. Reminds me kinda of contra and a bit of metroid when he was running fast heh

  • Oh wait wasnt my computer seems it was connection lagg nt though =]

  • The video lags.

  • then get a new computer.

  • It looks a lot like crash commando, and thats a good thing.

  • too bad uncharted 2 is just a $60 rehash of the same game, while this is a $15 brand new game.

  • oh! you mean like how Halo 3 was a "rehash of the same game" and gears of war 2 is " a rehash of the same game". I guess this is a rehash of Crash Commando, Metroid and Megaman.

  • and just like killzone 2 was a "rehash of a poor title anyway?"

  • Jason Flemming, that the guy from Locked Stock and two smoking barrels

  • for some reason , this seriously remind me of metal gear solid ... oh well , for 10$ , it's one of the best thing you could get .

  • For an XBLA game, DAAAAAAAAAAMN

  • I don't understand DenimZero if your so mature then why do you bother in these childish conflicts?

    Maybe you should watch in what you say.

  • I prefer my playstation 3 to my xbox 360, but its all just prefernce, so suck my dick fanboys.

  • when is this coming out? I forgot. lol.

  • dude its a xbla game

  • Dude: Advertising ps3 games all the time just for you to feel better, is gay.

    If you are so uncertain about ps3 that you need to confirm to yourself that it's good all the time, don't post stupid comments.

    buy an xbox, More Games, Less Money ,Less Bitchin

  • why do you interveen with fanboys convos it makes you look like one aswell for writing "buy an xbox, More Games, Less Money ,Less Bitchin" also most fanboys are xbox users...

  • Man this game looks awesome if it comes with a $10 price tag I would gladly buy it.

  • 1,200 MS points that's like $15.00 I think...not bad though it's supposed to have a 10 hr. long campaign...or so they say.

  • Uh, you do know it's an XBL game right? you just made yourself look really really dumb.

  • Wii, 360 and PS3 are three completely different things. No, you may as well not say any of those things because they are all retarded. So are you.

  • I'm gonna have to say that the PS3 and 360 are very similar. (Please forgive any typos my fingers are bandaged and I can't feel the keys very well."

  • The only typo you did was in the explanation. Stop being a douche.

  • I was being very nice how exactly am I a douche, because I disagree with you? Is that it?

  • no it's a xbla game.

  • xblablabla

  • my xbox360 got the red ring of death

  • Looks like a mix between Metal Gear, Metroid and Mega-Man.... Sweet!

  • lol Xbox Pwns? Dont you mean Xbox360. Cause if your talking about that Xbox then I would be wondering wat this world is comin to.

  • looks good

  • This reminds me of old Metroid games or the new on coming out.

  • Xbox only orrrrr?

  • of curse its the best console

  • its the best console but still not better than the PC, PC and xbox kick ass but ps3 is just shite

  • its like megaman!

  • 1:24 holy shit it looks goooood

    sadly i dont intend to get these "microsoft points" i like the idea of getting some-THING for my money, i know its stupid but i think they should just double the content and or polishing and go full price with any game

  • It's like a copy of Metroid, Crysis and Crash Commando.

  • Comment removed

  • LOOKS AWESOME!!!

    Bout time we had a Shooter that was NOT a F**KING 1st-Person View!

  • for an arcade game this is amazing! i like how it's mostly 2d but there are occasional elements in 3d. and the graphics are half decent!

  • i dont get how anyone cuold critisize this for its looks. they are ridiculously rich for a sidescroller.

    they should take a look at the closeups in 0:13 and 0:15. thats how a typical ue3 game looks but at the same time they typically show MUCH more of the screen and with more stuff on screen the gpu has more to work so its pretty much a little miracle they made it this detailed.

    and it is never 2d its all 3d, only the camera position and level design make it a sidescroller.

  • that running part looks like metrioid

  • It is a freaking XBLA title - it only costs fifteen dollars! This game looks amazing for it's price. I would pick it up if I had a 360.

  • This game looks great for a side scroller but i hope it has coop because if it doesn't then i'm disappointed.

  • if it costs 15 bucks or even twenty i might get it but if its a full 60 theres no way unless it is jesus awesome

  • It might have had potential if it wasnt like a scrolling 90's game

  • so you're saying that unless it is in 3d with top notch graphics, it is a bad game? Ever heard of a little Italian guy? Likes to go up and down pipes? Fights turtle-like baddies? You, sir, are the reason gamers get a bad rap. Yyou, sir, are an idiot.

  • u sir need to calm down

  • is this an xbox exclusive?

  • so you pretty much become iron man

  • Doesn't look like anything special

  • looks like an hd version of super metroid

  • Looks Awesome.

  • the part he was running on the water was funny!! yeeehaaa!

  • Looks pretty impressive!

  • looks amazing, I can't wait!

  • it looks awsome specialy for an arcade game, i wouldnt put it down tbh could be an awsome game :)

  • paper mario!!!

  • looks to be the best arcade game ever its a calaboration between epic microsoft and chair thats badass

  • little big planet on steroids

  • dude, nothing can even can come close to lbp, except for the lbl psp or possibly lbp 2 if there is one.

  • is this a arcade game??

    hit reply -------->

  • yes, yes it is.

  • Seriously? It looks like shit just because it's a sidescroller?

    So I guess your saying Mario, Metroid, Castlevania, Castle Crashers, Megaman, Alien hominid, those are all shitty games too?

    You really need to expand your gaming horizon. Just because a game is a sidescroller does not mean that it's crap.

  • if this is a xbl game its good

  • it's for Xbox and Play station

  • the gameplay looks a bit like megaman x games

  • looks cool when does it come out?

  • never played any of em. i only played castlevania for the ps2 which sucked. i know that the first ones were sidescrollers.

  • wow lame explodions

  • It reminds me of contra. I need this game!!!!

  • EPIC DOES IT AGAIN BOYZ!!!
