This game has the best multiplayer of any game I've ever played. Its a must buy for any competitive fps fan.

OK Alot of people say this game sucks because of the multiplayer...Well you should research something before you buy it! Online play is so addictive I cant wait to go home and turn it on! Its the most balanced shooter I ve ever seen! And playing as a team brings a tear to my eye! LOL
Especially when I can resurrect someone, I love the commradary this game evokes! And did I metion its VERY ADDICTIVE and a hell of alot of fun! Love the magic bits too! And how you can choose what type of character you can play online. Well worth the 30 bucks I spent on it! Rent it and you will see how addictive this game is! So TREE UP people!

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.

Shadowrun

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

Multiplayer And Beyond

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 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.

Great for Xbox Live...

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3S8M561738BQJ The regular game has no overarching storyline and quickly becomes boring - however, it is a lot of fun on xbox live. Great graphics and fun weapons & spells make this a good first person shooter alternative to Halo3.

not bad

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.
