AllRPG Review
Rated 8.6/10. "Shadow of Destiny is extremely fun, and will keep you busy for hours. It's puzzles and mysteries might get annoying at times, but don't they always keep you going back for more?" By Jarrid Stacy.

Four Fat Chicks Review
"If you are an avid adventure story gamer and you don't like this jewel, then just throw your PS2 away!" By Skinny Minnie.
Game Revolution Review
Rated B. "It may not be a gift from the gods, but Shadow of Destiny is a solid game. Initially the story feels retarded, but give it some time and you'll see the light." By Shawn Sanders.
GameSpot
Preview. "In the end, Shadow of Destiny seems the antithesis of a twitch game. There is, in fact, absolutely no combat in the game. If anyone out there still cares about narrative-driven, laboriously cinematic games, then Konami apparently has you covered."

Review by Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin
"Much is excellent about Shadow of Destiny. The storyline is fascinating; the well-worked-through sense of consequence, and opportunity for change of history, makes this a game for any time-travel buff."
TechTV Review (PS2)
Rated 2/5. "'Shadow of Destiny' is a cool idea, but the lack of meaty gameplay, awful dialog, and a short game time make this a minor footnote in the history of the PlayStation2's library"
