halo ... with a twist

if you just wanna run and gun, then you'll be disappointed. but if you like a little more thought in your game play then you should give this one an honest chance. there is no campaign, but the bot matches can be quite satisfying. online game play is implemented quite well. and the balance in game play is impressive since each weapon, race, tech, and magic spell has a clear "antidote". this means the game ends up being a first-person shooter with the additional surprise element of 'rock, paper, scissors'. great fun.

It arrived in a acceptable amount of time. There was no damage to either the box or the disc. My husband has enjoyed the game.

This game was made for a cool multiplayer experience, but there is none. this game is awful. if you want a cool Multiplayer game get Halo or Gears of War. Please dont buy this.

When you first play Shadow Run you'll want to do the tutorial then jump right into multiplayer. It gives you kind of a satisfaction when you revive someone on your team. The weapon selection is not the best but I like the way that when you get really good at a weapon you can keep using it to jump to the top of the rankings.

this game is solely online play and a tutorial. there is absolutely no story line. You are better off getting Halo.

Wherefore art thou, content?

If you order this, I do hope you like a good deathmatch--because that's what this game is. It's definitely made for multiplayer. I think my first hint to this effect was when I tried to start a new game and realized the only levels here were training missions.

After a little initial uncertainty--after all, wasn't Shadowrun always an RPG?--I finally realized what I was in for. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't all bad. It's just that I felt a little like I was playing a demo for a full version out there somewhere, not yet released. I felt like I was getting a taste of what the game would be like when it was finished--but what I did get tasted good.

Basically, there are only two modes (boo): capture the flag and standard CS-style fragfest. Pretty simple there.

The magic and gear is where it gets fun. You have a number of spells and tech you can purchase during rounds, using money you earn through kills and captures. Teleport lets you blink through walls, Strangle fills an area up with damaging crystals, Smoke turns you temporarily invulnerable, and so on. Using these adds an extra element to the gameplay--each player can customize which spells they'll use, so every opponent is a unique challenge.

You can also buy extra weapons, but there are only a handful to choose from. That was a little disappointing.

Other than that, there's nothing to this game. (Really.)

The graphics were good character and effects-wise, but level-wise they weren't so hot. The walls and floors are the same large cut-and-paste wallpapering we put up with on the Xbox but didn't expect to see in the current gen as often; no details here. Just giant chunks of identical concrete, one after the other. The one spot the level graphics do shine is in the distant backgrounds, where you might see a pretty cityscape or two.

I'd comment on the music, but there isn't any.

While Shadowrun is good for a bit of quick fun, there's no substance here. I feel like I got a repackaged shooter with the skins on the characters changed and little else. I definitely didn't get any kind of satisfaction out of playing it.

Don't let this title dissuade you from playing other Shadowrun offerings, though. The venerable SNES title is especially fun.

Not perfect, but addicting

ShadowRun may not have many maps or that many modes, but it is still a fast paced, addicting shooter that will keep you coming back for more. SR like all games has a few online problems, mostly that you have nearly no control over what kind of map/mode you and your party play. Other than that however there isn't much you can complain about. (other that the $60 price tag) One of the major plus sides of this game are the magic/tech upgrades that can be done to your character during the game. (Let me warn you this is in NO way an RPG game) In addition to the nearly unlimited combinations of weapons/upgrades, the upgrades also basically stop most kinds of cheating. Upgrades include seeing through walls, walking through walls, flying, going invinsible (smoke) and healing yourself. In all despite SR's problems it remains a good first person shooter that defies the typical run-n-gun norm of other fPS s.

Shadowrun...not that bad

I don't care about graphics and animations if the gameplay is good, and the gameplay in Shadowrun is great. However, since it is only multiplayer, there really should be more maps and game types. There are only three game types.

Also, the way games are gathered is the same as in Halo 2, which I hate. One should have the ability to post a game, and people can join whatever type they want. If someone wants to play one map or game type over and over, they should be able to. You can sort of achieve this in setting your game preferences, but it's really not the same as being able to see a list of games, and make your own choice.

It was worth the $30 I paid, but I wouldn't pay more than that, and sort of wish I'd just rented it for two weeks.
