Basically what are your thoughts?

I for one think it looks pretty awesome but I'll probably wait for a review before getting it. Mainly, I want to see how well the 360 to PC connection works, because I'm not really feeling up for the headache that seems to be typical with the problems of something new like this.

I never take note of any negative impressions from people that haven't played the game based on what a screenshot looks like. Mine is being posted on Monday (but it's a Bank Holiday here) so I should get it on Wednesday Madtracks day

In the UK the 360 version is £39.99 and the PC Windows Version is £29.99

If you bought the PC Version I guess you'd be able to play against friends that way as you still haven't got Xbox Live yet - have you?

The PC version opens up the xbox live dashboard in game I think...

Yeah there's been a lot of bad stuff said about this game, so I think quite a lot of people are waiting for the demo...Im not really 100% sure what the bad press is...all I know about the game is that it has some form of magic and you go along killing people...Im not sure if it's Vista Vs 360 or if everyones just mix n match on the same teams or solo - I really haven't the foggiest what the point or purpose is - but I haven't bought a game on release day in ages...not since R6:Vegas

I participated in the beta.

The graphics arent anything to write home about.

The game play feels boring and uninspired.

The entire game feels gimmicky, as is combining 360 and pc gamers in AN FPS of all things.

If you just have to have every fps for the 360, sure, buy it. If you are looking for a gears of war, or halo3, or rainbow 6, look elsewhere.

ms is also pretty much throwing us all a big middle finger on the promise they made to keep first party games at 49.99. I'd not pay 29.99 for shadowrun.

I'm pretty sure Best Buy has it at $59.99 after $10 off (same as Forza). Check it out. I may be wrong.

I do not have a BestBuy, only Future Shop. I can get it from BestBuy, then pay $9.99 to ship it, so I save nothing. Future Shop will have it on special next week most likely.

Future Shop and BestBuy both used to have free or very low shipping prices. Heck, I had purchased my projector screen from BestBuy because they shipped it for $2, when everyone else wanted about $200 (it was 8 feet long).

must be a 'new' policy from when I last bought from them online. I remember buying a few SD Memory cards a couple years back and the shipping was free. Maybe because they were small, maybe because it was around Chirstmas time, who knows.....

OK, after having purchased Forza 2, Shadowrun and Mad Tracks, I have found myself playing Mad Tracks so that I beat each level and already bored, so I turned to Shadowrun...WOW..that game blew me away. It was a blast to play. Here is a super mini review, as I must sleep, to wake up in about 6 hours to go to the gym, then to work...

Graphics: Quite good. No GoW here, but way better than most X360 offerings

Sounds: It is a shooter, as far as that goes, sounds good.

Controls: This is where the game excels, the controls are all setout in easy to reach and use config. Since you must use teleportation, shooting, and various skills, all buttons are used, but also all fit easily on the control pad.

Offline play: The bots are good enough to blast you to bit, but polite enough not to tea bag you afterwards.

Online play: Too a while to get a game going. May just be not many players have picked it up yet. But once I got going, I got lost. I should have completed the tutorials to know each game type...ah wall.

Overall opinion: Best FPS so far on the X360. If you love Unreal Tournament, then go for it, if you did not like UT, then stay away..actualy avert your eveys from my mini-review, for it will BURN!!!

You can also set bots to play at your level.

UKJAY
May 31st, 2007, 22:21
It's actually quite hard. It reminds me of Halo 3 beta when everyone goes to the middle of the map and it's a big killing spree - except it's not that easy to see your own team. The magic in this is good, you earn money with kills, then at the start of every game you can buy magic and new weapons. You can only have 2 items of magic at one time and two weapons. You have to protect the 'artifact' which is a bit like capture the flag mode in other games...

This believe it or not is what a Tomb Raider multiplayer should look like.

I really should learn to part with games...I must have over 20 I don't bother with at all anymore. If I can sell most at £15 and some at £20 on ebay it'll be £300 - £400. I looked at them today now Im up to 30 games which I bought full retail price and some have been such a waste of money.

Again ShadowRun is a good game. For those without live, play against the bots to feel like what it is to play online...8)7

It's the weirdest shooting game ever because you can hover, fly, go though walls, use guns, sword, snipers, and lots of different magic and tech tools which changes things so much. It's pointless going online before you've done all the Training chapters because theres so much to learn you just can't know it all in the beginning.

Plus you can play as a Person, An Elf, A Dwarf, amongst others which also changes gameplay because each uses magic and Power differently. Dwarves can steal power from people and can't be sniped to the head by snipers for instance. The main objective is the 'artifact' which you have to capture first then guard it.

It's a typical shooter, but not one I could get bored with.

There's two game modes at the moment. But online I heard lots of people talking about update packs which Im hoping is true. The game needs more game modes, but the current two modes are really good enough anyway because of the different mix n match of weapon and magic usage.

For anyone undecided it is worth waiting for the Demo next week.

UKJAY
June 2nd, 2007, 14:01
6.9 is fair as it is only what seems half a game, but the 6.9 bit you play with is excellent... It's only cos there's no single player campaign I guess, but the shooting games I have I always play online multiplayer anyway. Because it's just a multiplayer part of a game...the price tag should have been lower, but it is in the words of Bleach22 FUCKING GREAT...

Well for some reason everyone knocks the game for lack of a single player, but that doesn't stop the likes of Unreal Tournament and Quake Arena and all that getting high marks, so I don't really see why it has changed here.

If you go into the game not expecting a single player, then the game should be rated for what it is, which is a multiplayer experience and nothing less. If you don't have Live you probably wouldn't look twice at the game, but for people with Live or for those who love Bots, then IMO this game is awesome.

Wait for Curry's definitive opinion though, he's reviewing ;)

Only 9 maps, and we'll probably have to pay out the ass for new ones is pretty much my reason. Nine maps, only online play, no chance of user created content, and still 60 dollars? Screw that, I'd likely give it a 6.9 too. I've yet to play a demo, but this seems a lot like Unreal Championship 2 with less content. That game was awesome. If this game is a success while that game failed, I'm going to be kinda pissed.

Screw that, I'd likely give it a 6.9 too. I've yet to play a demo, but this seems a lot like Unreal Championship 2 with less content. That game was awesome. If this game is a success while that game failed, I'm going to be kinda pissed.
Yeah 9 maps/3 modes and no singleplayer for 60 bucks is shitty value no matter how you look at it. I'd never pay full price for this game, based on that.

This is offtopic...but

HowClean is going to Kent, and I was told that people in Essex dont get on with people in Kent...as I've seen your from Essex, what is it about Kent people???

Now with shadowrun...as with all games I enjoy I just wish I had less work stuff to do instead of having to play games midnight til 3am which seems my only free time lately....

ShadowRun is addictive and the maps are quite large. Even if this game had come with a single player campaign...the multiplayer is so good I wouldn't have played it.

Well you might have a point if you expanded on that sentence, but I think if you mean that as a criticism then you aren't doing Shadowrun enough justice.

Everyone I have spoken to on Live say "I love this game", "Best game on Live to date" and so on.

Plus I prefer the spells in Shadowrun than in Oblivion. I don't remember teleporting through a wall in Oblivion. Or having to TeaBag someone for an Achievement.

StrayBezza
June 5th, 2007, 14:04
The learning curve is not that severe, its mostly memorising stuff and learning how and when to use abilities/magic etc, you theoretically could just get thrown in and still enjoy it (to a certain extent) but it will be interesting to as how the demo works so that people are enticed enough by its depth etc. I reckon they will post the tutorials and maybe let people try it out vs bots over a limited time.......dunno.....??

The whole purpose of Shadowrun isn't for the game, The game is fun and all but it's literally an arcade game with some online enabled features..As far as i see it, its mainly for the purpose of testing that PC vs. Consle feature, thats all the game was built for, Sure i get my fun from it i enjoy it but people complain about "NO CAMPAIGN!" "NO STORY MODE!" "NOT ENOUGH FEATURES!". Go to hell! It's a test in Microsoft's abilities as a company, which makes me look forward to more and more progress following the PC Vs. Consle era.

Wow £18 is pretty nice, but paying twice for a game is just wrong :P

18 pounds is what? roughly $36usd? I got my 360 copy of Shadowrun for $35usd after tax- $34.73 That is what I call good deal...

I finally bought into all the hype and was tired of all my old Halo-mates playing this "other" FPS and wanted to know what it was all aboot.

It's pretty cool, nifty, but not what I expected. In all honesty I didn't know what to expect, save for no single-player campaign.

I really need to learn the maps more, sometimes I have no idea where all the action is (no radar ftl) no idea what's going on. Sometimes the matchmaking throws me into a game that is halfway finished, or in progress (say lineage winning 4 to 2 and they put me on the RNA team) the UI doesn't seem very smooth. I just need more exposure methinks, so lets hit it up! calling all Euros!!!

I've been noticing that this game has fallen victim to boosters just as GeoW did.
Like Fannapy said earlier, I have people killin me then rezzin me, now that schools out, there are groups of little pissant kids that are running around trying to get the ninja achievement.
Just play the fucking game! the achievements will come in due time!
And why do they have options for map and gametype preferences if the matchmaking isn't going to search by them. I have a couple of maps turned off (either because they suck, or are over-run by boosting little twats) and the MM system will still put me into that game. And someone please tell me what the fuck is up with starting me in a game that is 5-2 and I am on the side with 2?

But Halo3's mp acheivey's are one's that you will come across through natural gaming, plus, I think it's gameplay won't be as susceptable to the gamer-whore.
As found on GruntsRus.com:
Banshee surface to air kill
Triple kill
Killtacular
Sticky x5
Brokeback
Tripmine vehicle kill
Flag carrier kill
Kill frenzy
Triple sword kill
Mongoose splatter
Melee kill x5
Needler kill x5
Sniper kill frenzy
Headshot kill frenzy
Full warthog kill

These chievey's don't appear to be the type that you will have to GRIND out like 100 kills with the katana, 100 wins as troll, elf etc.
Those type of achievements, in concept are there to try and extend gameplay, but in reality just ruin the game for casual users and uncertain adopters. This game is plagued just as bad as GeoW and lately has been suffering from crippling latency, just like gears. oh well, Shadowrun... I WANTED to like you... :'(

Oh I thought that the game thinks I am some super awesome Shadowrun player (I am not.) and thought I could salvage those losers, but you're saying it knows I suck and puts me with the rest of the suck.

That sounds more right.

I thought you were talking about the Viral Achievement where you have to teabag someone who already has it.
I saw you don't have that achievement... So maybe you were talking about your impending porn auditions?:+

Ima gonna go smoke, pack a bowl then play some shadowrun, get your scrawny asses in there! I might not have this game for much longer!

oh big hairy bollocks...

I received my Vista version of Shadowrun today and I can't get it to work. I put it in the DVD tray, close it - it spends ages spinning round and round and round....but nothing happens after that....

Then I read the box and it states that to play this game you need 2GB of RAM of which I only have 1GB

Now it's back on ebay for sale !! such a shame...

No I just assumed having Vista was enough :D

It's a bastard but Ive packaged it up with 2 months 'live' trial cards and selling it on ebay for £20.00 to get my money back.

Seems Im gonna have to go Vista friends begging on the Shadowrun.com forums.

A good way of getting Vista Achievements (as a friend told me last night), is go through your Achievements list and see who has only ever played Shadowrun. My friend said it worked and he got a bunch of Achievements by doing so. If you've got the time, do it!

-Yes we were achievement whoring, trying to get the impossible "godlike" achievement, and i assumed you had it coming out of your speakers like most people do when they have no mic so they can still hear what team mates are saying, cause last time we played i was talking to you and you managed to hear me just not reply, so i didnt really feel the need to tell you seeing as we were talking about it for a good 10 minutes in lobby before we actually got a game started...

I have my BFF achievement...the one I thought I'd have to literally die for.. \o/
Ross is hopefully on his way to get it too...he was like one tiny match away and they kicked him out the party. I made sure each time i killed, the other team killed me - not to look too good or too bad, Ross looked way to good for the german party

If you're on when I've a few Vista friends on I'll send an invite - Im waiting on another vista user to add me, when I sold my Vista version of shadowrun I sent the guy an email with my gamertag to add me, he sent an email back saying he will do. I've clocked up about 5 Vista users now, the next achievement Im after is "Mine is the Superior Platform" (I think it's called that) where you need to kill 100 vista users

I know that's why Im trying to rack up 45 Vista gamertags on my friends list. The 5 I have already play a lot of party matches in private with all their Vista friends...plus Vista users dont seem to want to pay £5 a month or £40 a year for 'live gold' just to play shadowrun with xbox360 players, I think 'silver' allows vista to vista only. 5 down, 40 to go...lol (I'll get there)

once I got the achievement, they can fuck off...

Yeah course I will...but next time you play an organised match and I'm getting booted for shooting someone...remember I have no mic, and I can't hear a word of what someone is talking about through the tv properly...

I thought something was odd, when I was able to kill 2 people literally right after one another and no one was shooting back!

well hope u have fun i was just stuck in a room full of ppl who didnt talk I'm trying to calm myself down *rant* its very annoying when they ignore all the rez requests and advice i gave and i had to stop sniping and run and carry the flag with no back up 3 times i brought the game bak to win with no DAMN help*rant*

There really is nothing more annoying than someone giving advice in game! Usually upon startup I hear someone shout "all get rez, all get rez" usually I dont bother with rez at all, I have smartlink because Im sure my team would rather I couldn't revive than kill them all with a mini-gun, then I have both smoke & gust

Did any of you guys listen to the Shadowrun interview on Major Nelson's podcast put up last Sunday?

It was a very honest and interesting interview, where he talks about the review scores that the game received. I agree with him on almost every point, and I'd recommend a listen if just for the interview (kicks in at around 30 minutes).
