While it is no Counterstrike, its still a multilayer game worth checking out.
+Spell casting and upgrades are a cool feature
Negetive
-Seriously lacks content
-No campaign or decent single player mode
-Poor graphics
First things first is that Shadowrun is a game made for xbox live. So if you don't have xbox live your best not to get this or your going to be pretty disappointed. Its pretty cool though, it kinda takes a resemblance to Counterstrike. There are two modes 3 modes to choose from: training which is just learning how to play the game and stuff, offline game but it's not very good due to the crappy AI but what this game was made for was its online play. The online play itself is actually quite good while it lasts. It's a team based game were you either play as RNA or Liniage. RNA are like cops the generic good guys and Liniage are more like criminals and bandits. The goal of the game is to retrieve a artifact and take it to a checkpoint, basic stuff really you choose from four races to play as which are human, dwarf, troll or elf. Each class has there own unique powers and special abilities. For instance- Elf's are quick and are good with swords and trolls are big and strong but are quite slow. Before every round you can purchase weapons, magic spells and upgrades which help you ALOT. Buy getting money you have to kill people and capture artifacts.
That's all there really is to say about Shadowrun that's the whole game, the only flaws really is that the graphics are pretty poor, there not quite up to 360 to be honest, there aren't a lot of maps to choose from and most of them are not very good. The sound is OK, not that bad, weapons sound kinda cheap and like toys for my taste, voice acting is alright.
Anyone who likes Counterstrike should check out Shadowrun. Its not the best online multilayer game you will ever play but its worth renting.
