  • The SR GB scene was insanely competitive and satisfying. This was easily one of the most orginal and fun shooters I've ever played on the 360, nothing can quite match its uniqueness. It's sad to see this game didn't get the sequel treatment it deserved, and hopefully we will all restrospectively celebrate how great this gem really was, when we think of Xbox 360 FPS titles

  • What calculator did you use to record this footage?

  • Very well done review. loved the game, spent countless hours playing it.

  • I think this game is very underrated

  • Many people say this game sucks but its pretty good better than fucking call of duty

  • i heard shadowrun was bad,and why does black ops appear EVERYWHERE on youtube

  • Lord of the rings future warfare

  • Does anyone still play this game? I've seen it on PC at GameStop for low price. But I don't want to buy it if no one plays it.

  • @EPICsliceOFcake People still play,tons due to PC AND 360 being combined online

  • just bought the game for both xbox and pc, do i have to pay live on my pc?

  • JOHN YOU FUKER YOU SAID THIS CAN BRAKE MY X-BOX YOU PICE OF SHIT(ps.nise review)

  • Lol I got a hilarious kill yesterday, I threw a grenade behind someone then gusted him into it and killed him lol, nothing he cud do about it haha

  • Hey guys any tips to become better? I really suck and I wanna help out my team more but I suck SOOOOO badly. Thanks in advanced.

  • Would be cool if you didn't have to play as characters from the Lord of Rings.

  • is there alot of people playing this game? and woud you recommend it?

  • Check Out My_Channel-For-A_Fully~Working­~Microsoft_Points~Code_Generat­or

  • Does anyone still play this game I bought it for the Xbox and there doesn't seem to be an online community if anyone is looking for a game add me, EasternShark.

  • I just want to say, It doesn't require Xbox live gold (Meaning you can use a free membership) to play. It does however requires a payed Xbox live gold membership for cross-platform play in between PC and Xbox.

  • @ThePureFlame for real? cause i just ran out of gold and i wont get any till next week. so i can play right now on live?

  • @xXAlexGMercerXx

    Well, I can play on PC for free but idk for Xbox 360.

  • @ThePureFlame

    i need to have gold onl for cross platform or xbox live as well?

  • LOL 8.6

    what's the difference between a rating of 8.5 and a 8.6?

  • you also forgot to mention "quicklinking" aka, holding b, left, and hitting right trigger to throw out a tree. =)

  • Nice review but whats with the backround music O_O

  • @thecko98 It's a brazilian song v=_E0EJLRkysM ^^ P.S.:I also think it's wierd.

  • Nice review man :D Thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • lol brazilian rap music

    or maybe i can be wrong

  • Impressive looking, but I still love Shadowrun Sega Genesis version over this!

  • DONT FEED THE TROLL!!!!!

  • One of my fav games ever!!!

  • @lappenstomper how the hell can you say that THIS game is crap. You have got to tell us what is a good game in your eyes. I can only imagine that you were gang raped and quit. But believe me, this is THE online fps. Much more complex than a halo or cod. Its simply unique and underrated. To me, a lost gem.

  • @mischexb Quote for fucking truth!

  • prefrencances are options to choose

  • i paid 5 bucks for this and its worth every penny, thats cheeper than most arcade games and alot more fun than others i was a little disappointed to see that it wasnt another rpg but i got over that quickly as this game is awesome

  • i was thinking about getting it do ppl still play it?

  • @moonkeyman1 ALL THE TIME. And the community is still LIVE. Get it? "LIVE". I still play this game for the PC. I was hoping for a sequel but we got Crackdown 2 instead. By the way, even the demo for the X360 is still active.

  • @moonkeyman1 Saying this game is thriving would be a lie when you look at Modern Shitfare 2 and Halo 3, but I have no trouble finding games whatsoever, I doubt you will either.

    Not to mention this game is literally only a few bucks at Gamestops now, thanks idiot reviewers!!!

  • you say that you can't choose games in multiplayer and it will search thats the same thing as in

    cod:mw 2 or Bad Company 2

    in cod mw 2 you choose a gametype and it will search.

    and in bad company 2

  • do people still play this game

  • nice review

  • what i want to say is that who cares if it doesent have a storyline because all the so called gamers today only care about graphics and online so with that said i dont see it as a drawback anyway this game is kickass thanks for the upload

  • Very unfortunate that Fasa went down. I'm certain maps, modes, and maybe even campaign chapters released on Xbox live.

    What I don't understand is why most of the people from Fasa went to Smith & Tinker, losing all of their properties.

  • fasa studios went outta business they were brought out tey will be no new map packs

  • this is complete crap.the hell did they make it into a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER!?

    shadowrun deserves better than this.GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS!

  • @lappenstomper8

    Agreed. It should have been an RPG.

    At the ver least it should have had a single player campaign.

  • seems like a well designed game

  • the company that made shadowrun went out of buissness and the rifle is inacrute when u move but when using it as a sniper is extramly deadly and u can take off maps using prefrences so u can choosee it just takes longier to get into a game

  • this video was made on my birthday

  • i beleve you about if you got xbox live get this game coz i got xbox live but its steel good with bots.i wish they had campain.

  • i just bought this for pc for $15 AND xbox360 for $5

  • i got it today its pretty sweet for $5 :]

  • I Play it and it is realllllly Great

  • maybe the world need a shadowrun RPG and maybe people are butthurt that its have some issues with the old story line and how essence and tech works etc but this is undeniable the best FPS i have played. there is a lot of games i want to be made and a lot that i want to be different but instead of trash talking about it places reserved for the game actually made i just dont play it if i dont like it and maybe make some effort to see it made someplace where my opinion is relevant.

  • one of the best fps out there, does anyone still play it? =/

  • a lot of ppl play it still

  • @MouzerMalti i know i do but i feel like the only one on pc

  • lol for fucksake lol i bought this game then i watch this and find out that it only good for live which i didnt no lucky it was only $10

  • Not a review.

  • are you reading of something? this is very boring. good thing I was'nt drinking anything because it would've fell on my laptop because you sure could put someone to sleep

  • this is like game spots review!

  • Shadowrun games are way better on the SNES, Genesis & Mega CD than this 2007 crap, don't get me wrong i love FPS games, 2007 game would have been cool if they had a single player mode that makes more sense than this mindless MPO only BS!

    It would be more awesome if they make a Shadowrun game either Mass Effect, Elder Scroll 4, Star Wars KOTOR and Fallout 3 gameplay style, i recommend that Bethesda or Bio-Ware makes the next possible Shadowrun!

  • nice review

  • i love this game its so fun when ur playing live

  • but only better

  • lol Bioschock 2 is going to be like this

  • Good review, but I couldn't see the variety of map styles you mentioned. Personally I was even a bit surprised to see such simple looking maps in a 2007 game, what I have seen so far have looked mostly like they were out of the original (1999) Unreal Tournament or something.

    No advanced geometry or architecture, just square rooms, straight corridors and ramps.

  • very professional review you should join IGN Intertainment

  • 1bigbottom, what? Are you kidding me?

  • jeeze man... 8.6? that's very... exact... but good review btw

  • cod is too simple in comparison.

    and gust can hurt you in smoke.

    humans do not take less but none essence penalty

    and this game is more fun then TF2

    the person who made this video is an average player at best.

    the game dont cost shit anymore and it is imo the best fps out there.

  • start playing call of duty

  • btw if u have smoke u cant still get hurt by gust

  • Man, this game has yet to see a decent port, which is a real shame. This game needs to be an MMORPG, not an FPS.

  • This 2007 Shadowrun game is a disgrace to, other FPS, Sci Fi/Cyberpunk genre, Shadowrun series and the classic RPGs, The RPG's on SNES and Genesis are great both of those two are different but they are great if both came back they should have a subtitle to both of them to avoid confusion, i almost forgot Sega CD (hopefully someday they will make a english version of the Sega CD version)

    either way all 3 RPG games are way better than the 2007 games, Hopefully there will be a new RPG in future!

  • the only bad thing about shadowrun is that the company went bankrupt therefore no map packs or sequals and the game got discontinued meaning they cant make it any more so if u want to get this game, u better hurry up because there is not thay many left

  • F_this new shit! If you cant raid a Corperation archive for a Mr Johnson and Kill Dragons and travel in cyberspace.

    I want to do a mission n Bug City Chicogo

    RPGiskey

  • I overlooked this game due to lackluster reviews, it looks interesting, is there much of a community on xbox live?

  • yes, i can always find a game. Its great

  • yeah man, i got it for like £4 the other day and theres still tons of people on it

  • I dont know why but i cant simply put a link for the DLC petition but i ll tell you how to find it. Just write Shadowrun DLC petition and go to the site that says: Fasa studio closes its doors. Dont click on it, just read the address thats on the bottom of the link. There you go, you found it. Hope this helps. And thx for signing it.

  • The only flaws with Shadowrun I see is the lack of campaign and not enough variety in gametypes, weapons, spells and tech.

    That and the freaking SMG.

  • everybody tells me to get this, looks like just an ordinary shooter to me lol .. is it that good? ._. its been given alot of bad critics oO;

  • those critics are idiots. how does this look anything like an ordinary shooter?!?! This is anything but that! There are SO many new gameplay elements introduced. This game is amazing.

  • its amazing

  • The main reason I've found for people not liking the game is that is has a very large learning curve. Nowadays, people just want a game that they can pick up, play, and kick ass at. This game is not that simple. There are many different tactics and elements to the game that can only be learned through experience (or friends, I suppose <_<). It may look like any other shooter on here, but this is just some crappy-quality youtube video. I'd say just go out an buy it. $10 used at my Gamestop.

  • dude i still love this game

  • Best online game on 360 and the most underrated too. Shame it didnt get the credit it deserved. Well for all you shadowrunners out there, please go sign the petition for DLC or shadowrun 2. I wouldnt want to see the best online game go down. Everybody thinks this game sucks because its cheap and people base themselves on reviews. Believe me, buy it, play it then learn to play it and then love it like you never loved an online game. Best deal you re gonna get for your money. My GT:NBK13

  • Petition? Where?

  • really fun game..

    GT: XxTHAxCARNiExX

    add me on live

  • shadowrun is a madd fun game nd only like $13 nd is clearly worth buyin. its a completely different gamin experience nd quite a risk to make as said in the video, but its for the better. its prolly the most under rated game 4 the 360

  • Looks like a cool fps but I'm really glad I never got it because it's not what I want from a shadowrun game

  • That's really ignorant. If you think it looks like a good game it's stupid to not get it just because it has pretty much nothing to do with the orignal Shadowrun game.

  • Yeah, I realize your point. You are a total genius. It's totally ignorant of me to not get a Team Fortress 2 clone when I'm looking for a cyberpunk RPG.

    So the other day this guy was looking for a Nascar game because he really liked nascar so I said "why don't you get Shadowrun?"

    And he said "because you don't race cars"

    And I said "that's really ignorant because Shadowrun looks cool even though it's totally not what you are looking for"

    or maybe I didn't because I'm not a total downie

  • Ehh? So the only games you like are cyberpunk RPG's? lol. You must be a very hard person to please.

    Nice straw man argument though. You completely took my point out of context and maintained that I was saying something which I certainly was not. Well done. You're the real winner here.

    Also, I hardly see how it's a Team Fortress 2 clone. You carry guns and shoot people. That's like saying Company Of Heroes is a Red Alert clone. Silly man.

  • wow u give suprisingly good reviews!

  • Can you get achievements from playing offline (against the bots).?

  • i also wonder that, tell me if u find out :P

  • I think you can, I got achievements from playign the tutorial thing. lol It's really easy

  • na thers only 6 training chapters (10G each), if u have live its a game u have to get!! its really really good!! takes awhile to learn how u use everything and ever games dif!!! really worth buying :)

  • Reminds me of PSU

  • power supply unit?

  • This game is top quality bought this game on the day of release and still playing it today im a big fan of the ankle biters love sucking the essence out of enemies so they cant teleport away.

  • Shadowrun is set up like Counter-Strike, whereas they are both round-based.

    The closest thing to it would probably be a Warcraft server on CS:S, however Warcraft is more detailed and has a exponentially higher learning curve.

  • I Dont Know If Its Any Good As I Havent Played....... But Considering I Played The Original On Super Nintendo.... An The Game Was Amazing..... I Am Pretty Dissapointed It Never Turned Out A More Updated Version Of The Original......

  • I like how theres no career mode and less game modes - the simpler the better

    And the reason why you think the rifle is innacurate is because you're using it wrong - you don't just walk around with it - thats obviously going to make it innacurate, try crouching and aiming.

  • dwarves do recharge - but slowly

  • you see when th guy had two smga its a glitch i the game i think they fixed it but it rarely happens

  • This wasn't really a review, it more an in depth description of the game and gameplay. AND THIS GAME IS AWSOME!

  • gears of war

    +

    Team Fortress 2

    +

    Counter Strike Source

    +

    World Of Warcraft

    =

    Shadow Run

  • doesent have anything to do with GOW i would put halo instead of GOW

  • the resurecting does. nd how can u ressurect ppl in halo. thats what makes it like gears of war nd he didnt say anything else in the game had to do with gears

  • Shame the company that made this was closed. I love this game and still play it.

  • its like the most underated game there is its f'in amazing although its only multiplayer and theres not too many game types every game is different u can b so many different things such a fun game and so much skill!!

  • you cant pick up two smgs

  • im playing now its awsome

  • its also for the pc

  • so, no ,multiplayer?

  • My ass.

  • Gotta admit I've never seen this before, lol. That makes about 21 deaths I've accumulated this month.

  • AnSa2010 just won the internet.

  • great review!

  • how do u go into 3rd person like that? lol

  • Use the Katana

  • awesome review.

  • Do alot of people still play this? Im thinking of playing it

  • yes alot of people still play it

  • this game is better than halo

  • perfect review, i wish everyone saw this review before thinking lesser of shadowrun. If everyone gave this game a chance, i think it would outplay halo.

  • I luv Shadowrun <3 If u are any good at this game, plz add pokerjon, cuz I luv a challenge

  • This game is for the people that enjoy a shooter that requires brains. if you dont have those dont play ;)

    furthermore this shadowrun is set in the time when magic just re-awakened, so its not as cyberpunk as the official (explaining lack of cyberimplants) it might not be the real shadowrun, but its the best damn shooter i've played. You dont walk in and start owning like halo 3 or call of duty skillz is the keyword in this game <333 get some friends and play as a team it feels wonderfull =D

  • I played it few time when it came out the game got boring fast no one plays it anymore if it had a story to it, it may had lasted longer

  • What happened to doing Shadowruns, getting nuyen, bigger weapons, go see more Mr. Johnsons and finally killing random people?

  • m$ happened

  • My only 2 problems with the game is that you have a noticeable disadvantage on PC, and the fact that this game had the potential to be more than just another Counter-Strike clone with "innovative" gameplay.

  • Whats the disadvantage of the pc? I've never heard of it.

  • the fact that your forced to aim like a console player, with the whole expanding crosshair thang.

  • Thats what keeps the game more balanced and tactical. WIthout it, the game would turn into a run-and-gun shooter, instead of people actually having to stop moving/jumping to shoot accurately. It promotes thinking over just plain being better at aiming, which was the goal of the game. Plus its a disadvantage to everybody, not just Pc gamers. Its not a disadvantage, its balance.

  • I'm not arguing that it creates balance, but the one advantage of pc fps gaming over console, is that you are able to aim with more speed, and accuracy than with a controller, which means that it affects the pc players more than the 360, which, while balancing the game for cross-platform play, makes it irritating for pc players.

  • Well the only disadvantage the pc players realy have is the skill ritticule. Xbox gamers can cast extremely fast ressurections or tree's from the circle. whilst a pc gamer needs like 2 - 3 seconds (time they dont have)

    but then again if my pc shadowrun playing friend has a sniper rifle, you dont want to walk into his crosshair, he will shoot a line in your hair at ANY given time.

    those are the mayor (dis)advantages, rest is all thinking and playerskill =)

  • good review bro. Ive been playing on and off for about a year and i can honastly say that this is the most unique online FPS ive played. CoD is fun, halo is fun.....but this game REQUIRES strategy and teamwork .(not to mention running around as a elf droping healing trees for friends is just plain stoner friendly)lol

  • Definitely one of the best FPS shooters for the Xbox360, currently my favorite... It adds a level of gameplay that Halo 3 and Gears couldn't satisfy.... and at $15-20 you can make a team of 4 with your friends for the price of one copy Halo/Gears.

  • around 300 people at the least are online playing this game online

  • Whats the name of the song playing at the begining?

  • if i bought this game would i be able to find a game online? (is anyone playing)

  • yes as of the end of december its the #8 most played online game on the 360

    gt: stallmeplease

  • cool i might pick this up then thanks.

  • im just doin my job

  • IGN sucks corporate dick. They take money from large developers to ignore obvious technical flaws and game flaws to give high marks to hype machine games. See Gears of War 2, Halo 3, etc.

  • no its actually because halo 3 and gears are great games, and i do remember him saying the halo campain sucked so ur a loser

  • what? u sir dont know fuck about shit

  • say that to a mirror and then you are 100% correct.

  • so ur telling me that without these games Halo 3 and GOW 2 would not be as good?

    Id like to see the source u get this bullshit from =)

  • and if u say Halo and GOW are hype machines why not throw COD in there....are u some gamer with a hate for anything liked by the masses? and whats wrong with advertising a game?

  • Halo and GOW are good just way to much hype

  • This game is pretty fun although i feel that it becomes one-sided onc the first team wins since they are rewarded with more money which means more weapons for the already winning team. However i do enjoy the uniqueness, style, and fun that shadowrun offers. I dont think its for those realistic military shooter type people with games such as cod4, graw, socom, but shadowrun is fun although u might find urself pissed off alot. (i play gears cod4 and all that) I also love the rifle in this game =D

  • dont forget if u lose u still gain benefits (not sure about a little cash) cant name the benefits of the top of my head.

  • do u guys like this game? and also about the online can u party up with friends? one more thing: any suggestions for games for xmas? i have gears 2 and halo 3. i like shooters and online play with friends. thanks please reply

  • dude get CoD world at war and shadowrun is only like 10$ and there are parties if you give me you'r gamertag ill play with you because not many people bother with this game but i love it.

  • great review

  • Shadowrun sucks, I hate that game, my bro, which is already addicted to WoW, plays this game as much as WoW, i wanna play some CoD4, not watchin some nerdy bro saying into nothing "i need rez, rez me!"

  • lol, expand your horizons a bit key0blade

  • Nice review. whats the name of the song playing?

  • look out for TRA: The Unknown next year. It is a revamped version of Shadowrun!!!!

  • hi i have shadowrun ad have a fun time playing it but i have found that as u start rto play and get into the game you will only chose a few abilitys all the time, there is a largevariaty but not many people(i have asked) actualy seem to change the abiltys and useually follow the same routine

  • does shadowrun have local play

  • yes

  • thanks

  • TrueSkill is the ranking system of shadowrun.... just saying some facts
