Seriously though... Mario Party 8 reviewed, and no Shadowrun love? This is a serious purchase decision for me... Looks like it could keep my shooter cravings sated until late summer... If not this, I'll end up going with Forza. Not a bad dilemma, per se, but I'd love to hear the 'Spot's word on both of them before I make my final decision. Review, review! *cracks whip*
I do like that I'm hearing all positives about this game, word-of-mouth considered. Multiplayer-only is what spooks me a little, because 60 bucks is a lot for one more FPS on the pile... Still thinking about it. Patrolling several sites like metacritic to try and find out what reviewers everywhere are saying... For instance, if IGN writes a review on it, I can knock two points off of that and usually get a good idea of GameSpot's score. That's why I love you guys, you're as picky as me!
I am a little suprised there hasn't been a review by the big companies. I loved playing the game and am picking it up in a couple of hours but I want to see what kind of reviews it received.

I was in the beta, and I can pinky-swear that it's NOT just another shooter. You can trick out your charachter RPG style and make the kind of warrior you want to use based on your mood, playstyle, opposition, etc. It's really, really deep. Deeper than Halo 3's multiplayer, that's fo' sho'.
I think this game is going to be bigger then most thought, because it is getting the treatment that a less known title would. However with all the discussion about it, I have seen nothing negative by anyone that actually played the game. Could be a huge title, but I think it will only be fun if enough people buy it and play it. As online only it could suck if I am the only one that buys it.
