[...] has unleashed Shadowrun to what at least one of their developers deems highly unfair reviews. It received an 8.0 here at Unscripted 360, so that has to count for [...]

Deac glad you like the game! Alot of people are putting this game down just because it doesn’t have single player, but look at any good good game you have played in the past and tell me it’s not the multi player you still playing and not the single.

Anyway this game is awsome and im on every night almost if anyone wants to hit me up and play for awhile, and that means you too deac!

excellent guys…glad you enjoyed it. i try to write from a few different perspectives and not from a jaded one like most people. the majority of people simply follow suit with the high powered press sites.

but i have my own opinion to voice.

Thanks Deacon, this was the best review I have ever read about Shadowrun, and there are plenty of reviews which turn down the game because there is no single-player experience.

I like Shadowrun a lot, especially for its unique, always different multiplayer experiences. The game is very well made, everything’s balanced and refined – be it the movement, the skills, or weapons (though SMG is a bit overpowered). This game is the first true next-gen shooter, as it brings the genre of MP shooters forward – lone wolf tactics won’t bring you very far in a match. Real team work is substantial for winning a match, and therewith, gaining more money for the very next round.

Microsoft makes prices, FASA didn’t, but are 60$ justified? Definitely. Too sad that Shadowrun wasn’t promoted, and advertised in any way unlike the hyper-hyped Halo 3.

Dam! That was a pretty detailed review dude, Good stuff, glad you liked it. The only thing missing was the fact that you and your friends could team up against some seriously smart AI bots if you didnt feel like playing against and listening to all the F-Bombing racist 12 yr olds out there, which is a definite plus

thx Silver. i’ve always been confused about PC and their console counterpart being priced differently.

Well then it’s settled, I am going to have to get the GFW version of Shadowrun so I can see the difference (at least from the beta on the 360 that I played)

Great review, and the game is a ton of fun. I still wish there was a real single player campaign, and that the 360 price matched the PC price. There just doesn’t seem to be enough justification for an online only game like this to be $60 on the 360 and $50 on the PC. It’s still worth it, but it’s irks me a bit.
