Surprisingly Good, Despite the Bad Press
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.
I picked this game up before all of the negative reviews started coming out at gaming sites like IGN, et al. Had I seen them beforehand, I doubt I would have purchased this game.
That would have been a shame.
This is one of the most addictive shooters ever to grace the market. It is also balanced, which is an unheard-of accomplishment in the genre; no one race, or combination of weapons, magic, and tech is all-powerful. Every point has its equal counterpoint, and many different types of players can enjoy the game using their own playstyles.
Moreover, there is so much more involved than with most shooters, because of the magic and tech available. You get a limited amount of money each round, so your build strategy becomes very important, and must alter depending on map, game type, and who your enemies are.
The game does have some flaws, in the minds of reviewers:
There is no single-player campaign. This isn't surprising, since the game was always billed as online-only.
A few corners were cut with animations, like how one hovers up a ladder (which occurs in quite a few other shooters, as I recall, and nobody ever gave them heck about it). I guess, if you buy your video games to admire the grace and beauty of people climbing up and down ladders, this isn't the game for you.
It is claimed there is a lack of maps. This isn't true, especially when you count the 8-player maps along with the 16-player ones. Unfortunately, it looks like there will not be another map pack for this game, or the naysayers would really have to eat their words.
The point is: you can listen to the professional reviewers who consistently get it wrong, or you can ask people who actually own the game and have played it for 100+ hours.
This game is fast-paced, well balanced, it is quick to get from round to round, and the community who play the game are overwhelmingly mature gamers (likely because of two things - the lack of leaderboards, and the appeal to the old pen and paper Shadowrun players). Even the achievements help eliminate cheating and boosting, as most of them merely serve the purpose of encouraging you to give equal time to all of the skills, races, magic, and technology.
I can't recommend this game highly enough!

RECEIVE YOUR FREE PLAYSTATION3 CHECK IT OUT!Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.
Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.c
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).
Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)
For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.
Please take advantage of this offer!!!

Shadowrun for Vista - wasteThis is a waste of time and money. My computer exceeds the specs for this game and the installer program claims I cannot run it. Processor faster, video better ram higher more disk. It also REQUIRES a GOLD Microsoft Live account to play against the X-box players.
If everyone else has as much trouble with this game as I did, then there will be 99% x-box players and you will never get a game with a free account.
I really wanted this to be a good game

The Start of a New Form of FPSReview created: 11/06/07

Shadowrun, for all those who do not know, is an FPS that utilizes not only weaponry but magic abilities as well. This concept is very fresh and integrates well into gameplay.
The graphics of the games are very smooth and have a very nice feel to them. Not cartoon-like, but more of a Team Fortress feel.
There are two main problems that I have had with Shadowrun on the PC: one is that no matter how much I tried I could not stay connected to a game for more than 10 minutes. I tested to make sure that it wasn't my computer, but games like Halo 2 and Counter-Strike worked perfectly fine online.
The other problem I had was the lack of a single-player campaign, which I would be less disappointed with if my connection would last through a game.
All in all, I had technical trouble with it, but nonetheless a great game, and even just blasting hundreds of bots gives a wonderful feeling.

Good For multiplayerReview created: 08/15/07

I have played the demo on the 360. This game is definitely made for competition.
Because it does not have a single player-besides training-I do hope that the developers have a load of maps planned for multi-player. This game has about 12 maps, I think that's kind of sad.I can just hope :).
I also like that fact Vista gamers like my self can play with my friends who have the 360 version without having to buy a 360. If you like the HALO series, UNREAL , quake , and basically any competitive FPS this is the one for you.

DO NOT BUY1 of 3 people found this review helpful.
After the first update it cannot use Live for Windows Component. Expensive piece of crap. Game is fun, but if it doesn't work it is not worth the price or any price.
