The guy reviewing this astounding game is approximately the biggest noob to ever surface online gaming. Just listen to how he describes gust as a "funny upgrade that blows people around".
@nintendo2nerd Don't know if people still play it or not, but you can play the game with AI controlled bots as much as you want. Plus, the game only about $5 now, so theres not much to lose.
Dude, it's a tabletop RPG game, like Dungeons & Dragons. Go find your local comics'n'games shop and you should be able to find a game or two if you're in a decently big city.
Or, if you want computer games, they released a version for the SNES and another game for the Genesis, both titled just "Shadowrun".
It was a bit limited, but the direction was perfect. it felt like it was missing a variety of maps, weapons, and depth. in its current state its great for a LAN party. The gameplay elements such as gliding, katanas, teleportation,magic etc were implemented perfectly for a tactical first person shooter, and theres nothing on the market quite like it. needed work but incredibly underrated. If a sequel ever came, i would buy it instantly.
@SnobRoll There is a new shadow run being made, but as a Broswer based game and is free to play. However is like a top-down view Which sounds pretty dissapointing cause i want a sequal
Can you play as a single player with no online connection on xbox with the bots? Plz respond asap I am looking for a game and have been for about a week.
man this game sucked. if you played the demo on xbox 360 then that was the entire game. i went out and bought this game right after i played the demo. $60 for 3 modes and online play only. i took that shit back the same day and got a refund. why pay $60 when you can play the demo for free and get the same enjoyment for it.
Please subscribe, I upload a variety of things and just let me know what you want. Call of duty competitive mostly with Gamebattles matches, playoff matches, MLG scrims, tips and tricks, Shadowrun, GTA, Civ Rev, L4D, Halo, Gears, and so much more. All kinds of different things and the more you suggest, the more I upload!!! I'll be uploading at least one thing every week!!!!!!
what l found most disapointing about this game, is not that its an FPS, but that it is entarily based on online multiplayer, This game should of been alot like Deus Ex, an immersive FPS with RPG elements. That would of been awesome.
hey guys, if you still play shadowrun or plan on playing it you should check out gamefaktions(.dot)com it is where the competitive and majority of shadowrun players communicate on forums. plus, if you check my channel i have current videos of shadowrun gameplay from tournaments and competitive gameplay
@mikejclark No Brink is a broken game shadowrun is not broken it works and is fun so everybody needs to quit bitching about how its not the rpg they thought it was. Regardless of the iffy name choice for the game if you haven't tried it you should there is a lot of fun to be had give it a rent trust me.
@cadco1996 Yea man I played it a couple of days ago and found plenty of matches. Shadowrun will always have people playing it there is still people playing on windows vista too because I got an achievement for playing with someone in a match.
this game was massively unrated and didnt get the popularity it deserved. it actually tried to add new things and offer a fresh FPS experience which alot of FPS games dont do now a days.
@MordieSG yeah very true, its because mainstream consumerism, is the where the moneys lays. publishers would rather garentee a bunch of sales rather than trying something new and take risks with the big budgets of games today. so to speak the lack of creativity and drive to offer fresh game experiences of slowly diminishing because of games like COD.
@cotyslick Enhanced vision essential gives everyone who uses it a wall hack, but it can be countered by having smoke equiped (you dont even have to use it), plus you show up to anyone else with enhance vision, even if they dont have it activated.
Ah I miss this RPG... the poor mans Warhammer :D Loved the story line and history tree. Good review too, too bad they didn't expand on plot and make it nine times cooler though. What they basically focused on here was Info grab styled missions :)
I bet everyone on here made all these bad comments without playing it properly, this game is probably the best online game going, no matter how good the original was.
@donwest420 lol my life is empty? you're the one who got so offended that the game you played got changed into something that would sell better. its nothing like halo.
@donwest420 its nothing like halo. get over it that microsoft bought the rights to making a shadowrun game. and lastly this game has a pretty good following so fuck off.
I never gave this game a chance because i was so hyped when they announced this game and to come a find out it's a online FPS with no story. It may be good but ill never play it. Shadowrun, with no exception, should be an rpg. I really would of liked to have seen it as an open world rpg like fallout 3 or oblivion. I thought the sega version was way ahead of it's time what about a remake of that? Only bigger and 3D

When this was out for the sega it had a fuckin story......idk im kinda mad this is just a death match game....i thought it was a re make of the sega one....i wasted 20 bucks on it lol cuuuzzz i dont have online on my xbox just the one in my room mates room and what not....idk wish it was a re make of the fuckin sega one loved that game
Shadowrun for the Genesis and Shadowrun the table top games give a dark, intricate world based deeply in a fantasy world born from the strange elements of magic and cyber punk.
Both offer very entertaining stories and carry a dark, forbidding atmosphere that contrasts wonderfully with the open ended environments and profound potential for player freedom.
This Shadowrun is just another generic first person shooter.
@Redimus I take it that you don't play many if any FPS's. This Shadowrun is the black sheep of FPS games out today. I do hope you realize that the story element was cut because of M$'s decision. FASA was whipped around with this title, but I can assure you that this FPS is anything but generic.
@Redimus fucking thank you....fucking...just bravo man god thats just what i fucking typed..i was scrolling through the comments and i was like god plz have some one else that understood the table top and sega one....lol i could fuckin hug you ahahah...im so libid they ruined this game by making it basicly a fucking unreal turment..i havnt opened it yet n ima just go return it bc i was hoping it would be the one i grew up on! lol im glade im not alone yes!!! lol
let me get this straight- "The 360 version and the PC version are the same game, so no player has an advantage." I might be arrogant for thinking this, but there's no fucking way a pair of analog sticks can hold a candle to a mouse.
You are wrong. I have both versions, and the 360 version runs at 30 frames, which forces the player to react slower. Whereas, on the PC version, it's at 1200p, first of all. Second, my frames average at about 180f/s. So, my reaction time is much faster than the console players. I just use my 360 controller on the PC version anyway, and I still beast out on mostly every game, so I don't think the mouse helps that much.
The game itself seems pretty darn good. But buying a game for online only gameplay, and no story at all?.... huge downside, if you ask me. Maybe if it had a story mode it'd be much more interesting. I hope they achieve it... shadowrun universe has an amazing story by itself.. i think it's a bit of a waste that the game developers didn't take advantage of that...
When a freund showed me this game i was like wtf is this magic shit or something. And then i played it myself and i cant stop it and i stll play it now.
Man this is the best online game I've ever played. It's balanced to perfection and the maps are fun and memorable. The gameplay is very unique and will give you literally hundreds of different approaches to different situations. The video footage that was shown was poorly played and the player made it seem really boring, and I would encourage anyone to at least try the demo, as SkippyTheFishy also commented.
i bought this game 3 times cuz my xbox use 2 scratch my cds, this game used 2 cost 69.99 for like 2 years str8. awesome game,.. i put it in my top3, and i playd game such as cod mw2, halo, halo reach, and many more. 2 bad no one play shadowrun now, cuz back days it was vry vry vry good. best memories
This game sucked balls and so did shadowrun for the snes, though not as much. If ya wanna play a good shadowrun videogame get a genesis emulator and play the sega genesis version, hands down the best shadowrun game out there, i would love to see bioware or bethesda take a crack at making an open world non linear updated rpg style shadowrun.
I remember getting this when i was like 12 and I wasnt really fond of it..so I took it back. When I was 13 I thought bout it and got the demo and absolutly loved it...and didnt really go past that. Now im 15 AND I WANNA GET THIS SOOO BAD im going to get it on pc cos im best at aiming on there and my friends will get it on pc and xbox and we will all play together.......THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVARRRRR
2 years ago my friend let me borrow this for 3 months and i was ddicted...if i go and buy it now today will i be able to get a game anytime i wanna play or does noone [lay anymore ?!?!
I love how all these people are trying to compare it between two other video games or RP games. Why can't it just be Shadowrun: The video game. THE REAL GAME ALREADY EXISTS!
"Details/graphics...." Fuck super awesome details and graphics when you can teleport and glide around humongous maps like temple grounds and power station dude.
I like a lot Shadowrun and in a time I was very good but then my live has ended and I haven't played it online for 6 months.But i'll get another gold in one week and I will be good again.
Man i wish Xbox 360/PC came out with a real Shadowrun game in a Fallout 3 or Mass Effect single player RPG!
Not this Multiplayer online only FPS piece of shit, this game is an insult to the 16-Bit RPG games, to the books, other FPS games and to the Cyberpunk genre!
@Tngtactical I played this game before I knew of its D&D background, and I LOVED it. Never played anything like it, the graphics and level design kinda suck, but the gameplay is amazing. Class customization is quick and important, the controls are very responsive, the physics spot on and it requires cooperation. Loved this game, but no one else I know plays it cuz of the graphics. Too bad, hadn't been hooked on an FPS like this since TF.
This game is freaking amazing. Much better than halo and modern warfare. Its such an underground game. I love it. It has a player pop. of like 500 ppl so u get to play with a lot of the same ppl a lot. Im the hobo if anybody has seen me play. Highly recommend this game to those of u that want a different kind of shooter. It def worth the 10, 15 bucks it costs
best FPS out there. i like how some people say this games lack a single player while team fortress 2 dont need one as it is multiplayer based. same goes for maps, TF2 dont need more as its better with a few awesome ones then a thousand ok ones. and then they bash this one for not having more maps. and then the models, well most games only have 4-5 skins for each team. maybe it had gotten more praise if it was made my valve instead of FASA? that aside, its cheap to get and awesome!
still dont change the fact that many people give cred to valve for the exact same thing they criticize FASA for doing, also tf2 can be bought as a stand alone game, orangebox is just a collection of stand alone games. yes you got a better deal if you chose orangebox but that goes for every "several games in one" collections.
It sucks balls on the PC. Using a gamepad gives you autoaim, and using a mouse results in accuracy penalties, which is the single biggest reason that the 360 version outlived it's PC version. Why play with a handicap when you can move on to a more enjoyable game without one?
I just dont get it. The shadworun universe is based on a hundred or so sourcebooks depicting every detail of this amazing world, on hundreds of images visualizing that intoxicating world and finally on dozens of novels combining all those elements. The guys that did that game obviously got no fucking clue about shadowrun. This game is an epic fail. What a shame...
Shadowrun is a VERY good game. The quality is good, there's lots of maps. There's lots of abilities and races you can choose from. There's always a significant amount of players online.
The game is only $10.00, where other first person shooters go for $40.00-$60.00.
There's a (free)demo version for the Xbox 360, just search "Shadowrun Demo"
This is a very good game and I encourage any new users to purchase it, or at least try the demo.
its $10 now? yea shadowrun is in my opinion one of the best most strategic online games it is great for competitive play. it is very balanced unlike other games. it was very underated and was bashed by reviewers for not have a story which was stupid. do a lot of kids still play this? on the 360 though. and the $10 is that for pc or 360 ?
The guy reviewing this astounding game is approximately the biggest noob to ever surface online gaming. Just listen to how he describes gust as a "funny upgrade that blows people around".

This game sucked balls and so did shadowrun for the snes, though not as much. If ya wanna play a good shadowrun videogame get a genesis emulator and play the sega genesis version, hands down the best shadowrun game out there, i would love to see bioware or bethesda take a crack at making an open world non linear updated rpg style shadowrun.

considering that its basically counterstrike, it looks semi good
however they could have done better, such as keeping the rpg elements of the original tabletop rpg

This is what they did to Shadowrun? It looks more like Clive Barker's Jericho with druid powers in place of the psychic ones. Whose idea was this?

I love how all these people are trying to compare it between two other video games or RP games. Why can't it just be Shadowrun: The video game. THE REAL GAME ALREADY EXISTS!

I think that Shadowrun could be done perfect justice if someone like bethesda did a remake of the SNES game. it was like Bladerunner meets D&D.

Man i wish Xbox 360/PC came out with a real Shadowrun game in a Fallout 3 or Mass Effect single player RPG!
Not this Multiplayer online only FPS piece of shit, this game is an insult to the 16-Bit RPG games, to the books, other FPS games and to the Cyberpunk genre!
I give Shadowrun 2007 game 4.5 out of 10

Tngtactical 10 months ago
@Tngtactical I played this game before I knew of its D&D background, and I LOVED it. Never played anything like it, the graphics and level design kinda suck, but the gameplay is amazing. Class customization is quick and important, the controls are very responsive, the physics spot on and it requires cooperation. Loved this game, but no one else I know plays it cuz of the graphics. Too bad, hadn't been hooked on an FPS like this since TF.

This game is freaking amazing. Much better than halo and modern warfare. Its such an underground game. I love it. It has a player pop. of like 500 ppl so u get to play with a lot of the same ppl a lot. Im the hobo if anybody has seen me play. Highly recommend this game to those of u that want a different kind of shooter. It def worth the 10, 15 bucks it costs

best FPS out there. i like how some people say this games lack a single player while team fortress 2 dont need one as it is multiplayer based. same goes for maps, TF2 dont need more as its better with a few awesome ones then a thousand ok ones. and then they bash this one for not having more maps. and then the models, well most games only have 4-5 skins for each team. maybe it had gotten more praise if it was made my valve instead of FASA? that aside, its cheap to get and awesome!

@imbadatnames390
still dont change the fact that many people give cred to valve for the exact same thing they criticize FASA for doing, also tf2 can be bought as a stand alone game, orangebox is just a collection of stand alone games. yes you got a better deal if you chose orangebox but that goes for every "several games in one" collections.

It sucks balls on the PC. Using a gamepad gives you autoaim, and using a mouse results in accuracy penalties, which is the single biggest reason that the 360 version outlived it's PC version. Why play with a handicap when you can move on to a more enjoyable game without one?

I just dont get it. The shadworun universe is based on a hundred or so sourcebooks depicting every detail of this amazing world, on hundreds of images visualizing that intoxicating world and finally on dozens of novels combining all those elements. The guys that did that game obviously got no fucking clue about shadowrun. This game is an epic fail. What a shame...

Shadowrun is a VERY good game. The quality is good, there's lots of maps. There's lots of abilities and races you can choose from. There's always a significant amount of players online.
The game is only $10.00, where other first person shooters go for $40.00-$60.00.
There's a (free)demo version for the Xbox 360, just search "Shadowrun Demo"
This is a very good game and I encourage any new users to purchase it, or at least try the demo.
SkippyTheFishy 2 years ago 49
its $10 now? yea shadowrun is in my opinion one of the best most strategic online games it is great for competitive play. it is very balanced unlike other games. it was very underated and was bashed by reviewers for not have a story which was stupid. do a lot of kids still play this? on the 360 though. and the $10 is that for pc or 360 ?
JsBlazIN 2 years ago
Above person is correct. It is a great way to take a break from Call of Duty or Halo type shooters.
Requires ALOT of strategy though, but that makes it interesting
