What’s the deal with Shadowrun?

Deejay Knight — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 21:21:08 +0000

There's a lot of discussion going on all over the internet about Shadowrun - the newest FPS for the Xbox 360. FASA Studio, known more recently for their work on Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf for the Xbox, 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 something!

So what's the deal with Shadowrun and why is there so much disdain aimed at it? If it was good, why are so many reviewers trashing it? For the gamers out there that have no idea what's going on and why it's causing such a stir, I delve into some of the reasons as to why it's such a hot topic.

Hit the jump and get comfy.
