Agree with others. Shadow is a good game but very tough. Changing some of the settings help but gameplay will leave you frustrated most of tthe time. The draw is that when you do accomplish something in the game it is a rush. I have not played JD much but do like Trudeau games. They seem to be much better to the casual player. I think it's nice having both type of games in a collection. One tough that makes you a better player and the other to play just for fun and relax.
