I'm dissapointed in all of you for neglecting this wonderful, wonderful game.

Shadowrun is an fps with rpg elements, their are 3 different game modes, Attrition, which is simply Team Deathmatch. Extraction, which is basically capture the flag, and thirdly, Raid, where one team must capture and deliver teh flag, while the other prevents them.

The gameplay consists of the basics, at first, go around and shoot people, until they die, or capture the flag, but before you can do this, you must choose a race, either; Elves, Trolls, Humans or Dwarfs, each having their own advantages and disadvantages.

Once you've gone around and shot some people, you can afford magic abilities, technologies and weapons.

magic consists of stuff such as teleport, gusts of wind and the ability to grow a tree which heals you.

Technology consists of stuff such as Glider (which is a pair of wings that allow you to glide), enhanced vision (which allows you to see enemies through walls/ceilings/floors) and smartlink which gives you additional accuracy.

Weapons, are varied enough to keep most people happy, from smgs to snipers and miniguns to rocket launchers.

sometimes weapons, magic and technology can all be used in conjunction with eachother, making them combined, extremely deadly, for example, if you have teleport, enhanced vision and a katana, you can see where the enemy is, teleport behind them, and then slash them up with the katana.

the games graphics aren't the best, but this game was released in 2007, maps are plentiful, however not a huge amount of story is given (however, shadowrun does have a story, that can be found on the internet, being it that this game is based off another game of teh same name).

This game is great, buy it >:(

A bargain at only £7.99

I played it at a friends house a couple of times.

It just, eh, it doesn't have soul. There's nothing describable wrong with it, it just lacks that something.

A multiplayer game is only as good as the people who play it with you. From the sounds of things, the online community for this game is nonexistent right now.

I remember when it was released the reviews were pretty average. The biggest note of criticism was that graphics weren't great and it was overpriced.

Well, I'm happy with bad graphics (it's all about the gameplay) and it's really cheap on the market these days.

Maybe a Shadowrun NG match? lol

You sir, have played the tainted Shadowrun.

Go, get an SNES and play the original Shadowrun, an amazing action RPG.

The game starts with the lead character, Jake Armitage, busting out of his cell in a morgue as he vows to find the guys that put him there. Much better than the beginning to the 2007 game with the same name, hmm?

My PSN ID is xscoot. Crazy, huh?

The community is like the CS 1.6 community. The only people that play it are the people that have played from the start, and are very good at it.

Ya there is something holding it back but I am not sure. I liked the teleporting but I thought it didn't really stand out.

Untrue.

I bought this game about 6 months back, and when I started I wasn't the best, but it's easy to come to grasps with, hey, in most games I can easily score 12 kills 5 deaths.

Shadowrun has to be my favorite FPS. I just think it is a well balanced game with loads of builds that can be made for tons of fun. It is a shame not many people caught on to it.

It's a good game, but it lacks a gain factor. Everything you do seems... pointless.

I love Shadowrun, but quite frankly I whored the fuck out of the bastard for a few months in 2007 so to be honest I won't see myself playing it again anytime soon.
