I've got it. Only just finished the training levels (takes a little while). I'm about to dive into a Live match, if there are any up yet.

So far, even just from the training, I can tell you this game rocks.

Where did you pick it up at? Every place I called doesn't have it yet.  Circuit City doesn;t release it until 2pm, and i'm waiting for them because you get some $20 gift or something like that with Shadowrun.

Anyone know when the review for this game is going to come out?HolyHandGrenad3

 

I read yesterday on the Shadowrun boards that the reviews aren't coming out until mid-June or early July.  Apparently, FASA hasn't sent out any review copies, so it could be a while before we get a review on this game.  Then again, I heard it on the internets so take it with a grain of salt.

I just went to Circuit City to get Forza and they had copies of Shadowrun on the shelves.  I was tempted but without any reviews am hesitant.

You get a 20$ giftcard if they do not have it in store by 2pm.  You don't automatically get a 20$ giftcard.

I heard Shadowrun has only 8-10 maps.  With no single player that sounds crazy!

I edited my post shortly after you quoted me, and by no single player I meant campaign mode.  Playing the multiplayer with bots and no campaign could be pretty weak.

You guys arnt getting the full picture of what this game is. You have different classes each with their own strenths and weakness. Then you can use weapons like swords or rifles and gernades. On top of that you have to use magic to really benefit every item. You can teleport, see through walls, all kinds of stuff. 1 round of a game can last way longer than you think since your teammates can ressurect you. Everyone should watch gameplay videos on the internet to really see how the game is.

I am unsure if I will ever be able to purchase this dang game.  It did not come out locally yesterday, I had hoped it would, some places got it on the 29th.  So then I had to wait until today.  I live near a Circuit City and waited until 2pm.  I went over there to get it, and the shipment was late.  The employees could not tell me when the game would get there, just that it is enroute.  (I did score a $20 gift card since it was not there at 2)....My wife works near the Best Buy so she is going to get it after work.  If they don't have it, I am going to freak I think.

I just got it. And honestly, the only problem (that I have at least) with the game is the complexity of it and my lack of being able to quick-cast my spells. I will eventually get it down though. Everything else so far is great.

All I got to say is stop worring about when the game will hit the shelves,if you could wait a long time before the game was even supposed to be released then you can wait a little longer for the stores to get them instead of going crazy on the forums here complaining about some stupid reason. Me,when games usually say they come out a certain day,i'll wait a couple weeks to be sure they they have them and you dont see me complaining,when it comes out it'll come out. Its much better to wait anyways because if you're the first to get it you'll be the first to beat it and it'd take all the fun away and be a waste of 60$ Flame me if you want because it wouldn't matter since I probably wont even be on this thread ever again

Why does the game cost $60 dollars when it only has 9 maps and a very sparse single player mode.  $60 dollars is a lot of money for a game that is pretty much online only and the online mode only has 9 maps and 3 gametypes.

how  much singleplayer did battlefield have? or how much singleplayer did cs have? or better yet, how much singleplayer did WOW have? those are some of the greatest most played games in the world (the latter in fact beeing the most played game in the world, leading by millions).

I was stating that a game does not in fact need singleplayer to be good. but for your question... who knows. lets hope gamespot gets their fingers out their holes and use them to WRITE A DAMN REVIEW

If you are new to the game the training missions in the game will make you hate the game. You will start giving up. But once you start playing the bots after each training mission, it all starts to come together. I found that training mission 6 (with the Elf, Katana, and wired reflexes) helped the most. I was able to extract the artifact real easy. This game was made to balance everything and that's why it's so complicated. When you are getting your briefing during the training missions listen carefully. The guy will tell you all the counters for spells and what the advantages and disadvantages of uses certain races, magic and tech abilities. The single player I can play forever. Finally, bots have been brought back. You can simulate a match with 8 bots on each side on any map. This single-player mode is the perfect preparation for multiplayer.
