    i am going to pick this game up, (dont know why i havent already) but now that it is going very cheap £5 pre owned i believe but since it is online only i just hope it has a good fan base still and i wont be wasting my 5 hard earned nuggets. its a risk i might just take.



    Dude even offline is good with just the bots. You can take the negative of there not being a soundtrack and turn it into a positive by playing whatever soundtrack you want. Like say your favorite movie trailer music or the soundtrack of The Matrix



    or any other music you can burn into your harddrive.

    I still like and play this game much more than Halo 3 or just about any FPS that has come out since this. Halo 3 didn't really add much where it counts...gameplay.



    Someone snipes you in Halo 3 you die and respawn again. Someone snipes you in Shadowrun you turn to smoke or block and odge the shots with wired reflexes...or use a tree or teleport... You have options.

    This game is pretty good its like a really updated cooler looking and more advanced counterstrike and I give it a 8.9 so if you ever see it in a bargain bin or under 18$ you better buy or i'm guna find you!

    OK,so even though GS gave it a pretty low score,I see you guys say it's pretty good.I own it for the PC,which must be good too !

    Agreed, For how much it's selling for these days (I Picked mine up for only just ten dollars!) It's totally worth it. Unbelievably there's still a lot of people playing it and despite there being other "Better" FPS games available It's still enjoyable!

    what a Horrendous review... where is Greg. I loved his reviews.
    He gave legit reasons for a game scoring below a 7.
    Who cares about the history of the text game? Who cares about the back story. Counter-strike didn't have a Back story, but it was so addicting, and genuinely fun.
    KINDA neat? This game is probably the neatest Multi-Player Shooter in history. I swear, you butchered this review.
    Way underrated. Get Greg back here to review it.
    Sadly your review is going to turn a lot of people off of trying this amazing multiplayer game.

    Oh and about the more maps and game modes? It's called DLC.

    I think it is a fair review. As much as I love this game it is wanting for content.

    huh if he wasnt so hyped up about shadowrun in general maybe he could have enjoyed it more, now see here this is a bad review because u can kinda see if they made someone else play this game who had no experience of shadowrun or whatever card game outside story they had then they would have probably rated it higher but no 9 but probably recommend for people to try it out because u no something, everything he said about the game said it was fun but it failed to meet some expectations, so what exactly were these expectations anyway? something a fan boy might expect or just ur everyday gamer?

    I don't get it, he says the magic and tech are the only things that save this from being a generic shooter...but aren't those pretty huge things?

    I used to play counterstrike..ALOT and I loved it. I just find this game to be a bit too twitchy..like teleporting through walls is fun, but often you end up facing with your back to an enemy on the other side and getting mowed down regardless of skill. Also, if you've got it on pc it's fine, but with xbox you HAVE TO have gold otherwise this game is useless, I'm only a teenager so I had to save up for a while to even get my xbox, I can't afford an ongoing fee just to keep playing this. It's a good game, but they really should've added a singleplayer campaign to increase sales and value.

    Don't flame me, it's just my opinion.

    worst review ever. Clearly has something against microsoft or the company that made the game maybe?

    this is an awesome game, so much fun to play. This things that this guy complains about are so small its not worth mentioning.. like the auto aim thing? "unsettling"... common, have a wahh. And going up ladders? it doesnt effect gameplay what so ever.

    Epic Fail With This Review.

    Easily a 9 for the game.

    What is up with this new camera zoom on the video review?? With each time it cut back to Jeff it was closer, and closer, and closer....Why?? I kinda liked to watch the screen in the back while they talked, instead of examining the reviewer's face.

    The low res video review download doesn't even have sound - come on gamespot you should do better than that

    This review sucks, Shadowrun is an amazing multiplayer game. I've played for two days and not even ulocked the "played all maps" achievement. The game is limitless in what you can do.
