Shadowrun (Xbox 360, 2007)

Well, Shadowrun is finally out and I have to say its ALOT funner than it looks. If you see gameplay videos, it looks stale and hard to control. Well that is not the case. Here I will begin my review on Shadowrun.

Graphics: 7/10
While the graphics are not Gears of war, they are still decent and look purty at times, especially maelstrum map. You can tell what the weapons are and whatnot, and I happen to like the art style very much. Reminds me of timesplitters in a way.

Gameplay: 10/10
If you watch some gameplay video's of shadowrun, they look boring and stale on paper. You have to actually play the game to understand this type of fun factor. The only complaint I have about it is the learning curve. While steep it is really easy once you get a hang of it. And unlike other fps games, this game includes weapons with magic and tech with almost entirly different battles with other people or bots. And this isn't a mindless run and shoot anything you see type of game. This game you actually have to be smart to play if you want to outwit your enemies and survive. Imagine Magic + FPS + Counterstrike and you have shadowrun gameplay. :)

Story: 4/10
While there is basically no story what so ever hardly. If you watch the intro, you can sort of understand what is going on. The intro is really cool to watch imo. Well I can't really describe anything on the story since there basically isn't one.

Replay Value: 8/10
While there is hardly no content, online multiplayer will keep you coming back. This game is really one of the best games I ever played. Almost every match is totally different with the races, magic, and tech and whatnot.

Overall: 9/10
If you have live this is the online game for you. You will spend countless hours having a huge blast with this new fps twist gameplay type at your hands. If you don't have live, well there are bots you can play with. The bots have astounding AI. They revive, tell you there location, teleport, and all that good stuff.
