6.9 is just not right for shadowrun

Who here agrees with me. this game deserves a way better score than 6.9 that is totally unacceptable. im not one to care about ratings but this is wrong to say that this game is as bad as they say it is. This game is amazing i have played for about 5 days now and i love it. they stated to say it was good until they started complaing about no single player so what!! does anyone on gears even play singleplayer probably not they mltiplayer thats it. so a singleplayer would be nice but thats not what this game is. i could go on and on how much bull sh** this review is. sure the ladder effect should be better and the graphics arent amazing but its gameplay that makes a great game but there excuss for saying that there is not enough game modes there are three just like gears when it started out and they are technically 9 maps just like gears but yes gears is a better game but this crapy rating of 6.9 is just stupid. shadowrun diserves much better credit although its 60 bucks which is more than it should cost but its a great game that will keep you busy for a long time to come.

I will play the demo to make up my mind because it was reviewed by Jeff.ag1002

any idea when the demo is coming out?

Great game, lots of fun!

even though 6.9 is low but if you read the review he didnt bash it too bad. and still, for a game not to have single player and still cost $60 is not rite

nice! only 3 days away, thanks

Hmmmm $60.00 for half a game, no thanks, it deserves that score. Hell there are shooters that have a single player campaigne and still have more maps, better graphics, better controls, and more match options multiplayer wise than this game does and its multiplayer only....WTH did they use the rest of the disc space for?RabbidDawg

I have to agree with this. A 6.9 is "fair" borderline "good". This doesn't mean it's a flaming piece of s*** and the company should be ashamed. Fair simply means it's not living up to it's potential. And as the above poster said, it has less to offer (in the multi-player dept.) than some single-player focused games that offer multi. They could've done better. However, the premise is great, so they could've done worse too.

I agree.  I rented the game and got bored with it in about 2 hours.  I would never spend $60 on it.  I do however like the way the game is played and if I had some friends to play online with then it would make it fun however I would like a playable storyline.maddcow

Plus the controls are a little tricky to get at 1st.  But it's a great shooter for hardcore fans of counter strike, Deus Ex and the Jedi Knight series.

I find it incredible that people are getting bent outta shape over a review.  First of all if I'm correct it was only one person from Gamespot who did the review and not the entire Gamespot staff.  So you have a small amount of individuals upset about "one" person's opinion.  Any rational person will not buy a game based on the opinion of one person, but I guess because that person's opinion is plastered on the front of a website people get upset.  For those enjoy Shadowrun and worry about people not buying it because of a review, not to fear... people will find out about what Shadowrun has to offer and if it intigues them, they'll buy it.  A reasonable gamer will find as many reviews as possible to see if a game is worth playing. If there are plenty of bad reviews across the board then there's normally a reason why reviewers trash a game. 

I thought that Crackdown was rated low the by lone Gamespot reviewer, but other reviews said it was worth while and I decided to buy it, and still enjoy it to this day!

(now I know what to write about in my next blog... heh heh)

No, it's a slightly below average game so it should get a slightly below average scoreFood_Nipple

Yes...they want others to make the same mistake they did so they will be in the same position as everyone else, thus making them not feel as bad about their purchase.  In the cases where people genuinely like the game, I love my share of games that got below average scores (Advent Rising, DBZ TB2 just to name a few).  Just because some people genuinely love games like this doesn't mean it should get higher scores.  I know those games are below average but I love them anyway, same with this game (although in this situation I don't happen to like it)

i think it got what it deserved simply because there is just not enough content, no single player and very little maps for multiplayer make this game not worth $60. The most it should be is like $30.zombiejonny

It's an okay score. The game really doesn't do the Shadowrun name justice though, even if it is fun. They just took way too many liberties and turned it into something that just resembles Shadowrun.

I'll play the demo when it comes out though.
