Story
PROLOGUE
NEW YORK, 1976
Detective Thomas Deacon disappears from an abandoned New York tenement. His friend and partner, Gabe, perishes inside at the hands of the Demon Sammael.
Gabe's death gives Deacon a chance to escape with The Codex, an enormous and ancient tome sealed shut by powerful clasps.
TUTORIAL: DEADSIDE
After defeating Legion and destroying the Dark Engine, the Shadow Man lay dormant in Deadside. Legion's only success was seizing Luke's Teddy Bear, Shadow Man's singular connection to Liveside.
In the explosion of the Asylum, the bear was scattered and lost. Shadow Man must retrieve the bear to return to Liveside.
LOUISIANA: PRESENT DAY
After retrieving Luke's Teddy Bear, Shadow Man returns to Liveside. He arrives in New Orleans and makes his way through the deserted streets to his home, the Wild at Heart bar.
He searches for Jaunty, the closest thing Shadow Man has to a "friend." A Shadow Man feels no fear, but as he rounds the corner to the Wild at Heart, Michael LeRoi experiences a sensation that would strike terror in any mortal man. An unusual silence hangs in the air. He pushes the front door open.
INTRODUCTION
Long ago, Mike Le Roi was brought back from the brink of death by Mama Nettie and had the Mask of Shadows implanted in his chest. He now lives at her command in our world during the day.
Like any of us, he needs air to breathe and is subject to pain and injury. If he sustains enough damage, he dies and must resurrect at the nearest Teddy Bear Point.
The Teddy Bear belonged to his murdered brother, Luke, and is Mike Le Roi's key to travelling between Liveside and Deadside. By channeling his energy through the Teddy Bear, he can regenerate at specific locations in the game world where voodoo energy is at its strongest.
At night, Mike Le Roi is transformed into Shadow Man, where he has unrivaled power, as even Nettie recognizes. His combination of voodoo powers, spells, hexes, and weapons makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Shadow Man cannot be killed, but when his Lifeforce is depleted, he is considerably weakened and must be regenerated at the nearest Teddy Bear Point.
BACKGROUND
As a young man, Mike Leroi studied English Literature but struggled academically and financially. Having flunked his course, the failed student worked as a taxi driver in Chicago, keeping his failure a secret from his family. He loved them too much to, as he saw it, let them down.
Then, one of his passengers was executed in a gang-style killing, leaving a vast amount of money in the back of his taxi. Mike took the money and returned home, hoping to put his past failure behind him and provide his younger brother Luke with the start in life he had failed to fulfill himself.
However, the gang was onto Mike and tracked him down to New Orleans, issuing death threats against him unless he returned the money. In terror and desperation, Mike sought out a Bokor, a voodoo priest, to give him protection against the gang's attacks.
This worked, but it worked all too well, backfiring on Mike terribly. The gang decided to call in their debt by staging a drive-by shooting on the car in which Mike and his family were travelling. The car crashed horrifically, and while his parents and brother were killed, Mike survived.
Upon recovering from the crash, Mike lost his memory, remembering nothing of his past or what became of his family. He soon found himself drawn into the New Orleans underworld by the Bokor, who extracted a secret price for his previous protection.
Working under the pseudonym 'Zero', the amnesiac Mike acted as a hit man for the Bokor, unaware of his true identity. Then, one fateful night, Mama Nettie, a powerful voodoo priestess, entered the Wild at Heart bar, from where Mike based his hit man activities.
Capitalizing on Mike's disassociation, she summoned her powers to persuade Mike to allow her to implant the Mask of Shadows, a powerful voodoo artifact, into his chest, turning him into the Shadow Man, the immortal Walker Between the Worlds. He was now forever under Nettie's control.
Eventually, Mike regained some of his memory, which tormented him almost beyond endurance as he slowly came to accept his new role: protecting the world of the living against threats crossing over from the spiritual plane known as Deadside, the place where everyone goes, without exception, when they die.
His first major trial in this role is told in the first Shadow Man adventure, where he brought down what was known as the Dark Engine, a vast Deadside monstrosity threatening to flood our world with an undead army, fuelled by the souls of the dead.
And so it was that Michael LeRoi, failed English Literature student-turned hit man, accepted the mantle of the Shadow Man; Walker Between the Worlds, Taker of Souls, Lord of Deadside. Standing alone between the world we know and the vast, horrific planes of Deadside.

NOTE
You MUST have a DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller for PlayStation®2 to play Shadow Man™: 2econd Coming. This game is NOT compatible with the earlier standard digital PlayStation Controller or with the DUALSHOCK® analog controller for PlayStation® game console.
FORWARDS JUMP
This is achieved by running forwards at a fast, but not breaking stride which when coupled with leaning hard on the Jump and Up controls makes Mike/Shadow Man leap a maximum distance.
SIDEWAYS JUMP
Pressing Jump while moving sideways at any speed will make our hero leap parallel to the direction Mike/Shadow Man is facing.
DIVE
This 'special move' begins as a regular forwards jump, except that during the 'fall' portion of the jump, should the player have the Crouch (button) held down, Mike/Shadow Man will tuck into a headfirst dive.
Should our hero hit deep enough water during his dive he'll enter the water head first, swimming with the speed acquired from the fall. However, if our hero is unfortunate enough to hit land head first, rather than incurring multiple head injuries, he will effortlessly tuck into a roll and convert the impact into a Forwards Evasion Roll (see below), ending in a crouch.
This is a great and spectacular way to leap into a room: jump up and towards the far wall, land rolling and since it's a forward evasion roll, come out facing 180° in the opposite direction by pulling a 180° forward roll to come up guns blazing. The conversion of the fall impact into a roll will approximately halve the amount of fall damage Mike will incur from a long fall, which is handy when you're running low on Lifeforce.
ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT CONTROL
WADING
When Mike/Shadow Man is anywhere up to waist-deep in water, all regular movement controls apply, but the character's top speed is limited to his maximum walking speed.
EDGES AND LEDGES
Leaping or falling at a 'grabbable' edge will cause Mike/Shadow Man (providing he has a hand free) to grab a hold of the edge. Ledges can be grabbed as Mike/Shadow Man jumps up towards them; he has the ability to grab a ledge and immediately jump up and over it.
LADDERS
At the bottom of a ladder, pushing on the left analog stick against it will cause Mike/Shadow Man to automatically holster any items he is carrying and grab a hold of the ladder.
While on the ladder, pushing up on the left analog stick climbs up the ladder, and pushing down on the left analog stick climbs down the ladder. Pressing up on the left analog stick at the top of the ladder will make Mike/Shadow Man climb up and over the top of it.
Pressing down on the left analog stick at the bottom of the ladder will release his grip on it. Pressing Crouch/Roll at any time on a ladder will make Mike/Shadow Man release his grip on the ladder to fall down the ladder, a quick way of getting off a ladder in moments of peril. Mike/Shadow Man can (and sometimes must) also jump (button) from a ladder, ledge or rope.
ROPES
Mike/Shadow Man may jump up and grab hold of a taut rope or wire and then negotiate it hand-over-hand. Getting onto the rope is auto-detected - Mike/Shadow Man jumps up towards
