Shadows of Evil is probably the most polarizing map in Zombies history across the whole of the Call of Duty fanbase. Some fans say it's a masterpiece, the most immersive experience with the best balance of depth and game flow in history. Others say it's where they knew for a fact that the developers had lost sight of what made Zombies fun, and where they stopped playing forever. What made this map so polarizing? Were either of these groups right? Or, did it fall somewhere in the middle?

"A Zombies Retrospective" is a series in which I play through each Call of Duty Treyarch Zombies map chronologically, and analyze its place in the series.
