This is a great game. If you’re willing to abandon your preconceived notions as to what a Shadowrun game should be and simply accept it for what it is, you’ll find a deep and complex first-person shooter that is tons of fun and packed with variety.

The biggest disappointment in this otherwise fairly enjoyable shooter is the lack of content once you've finally grasped the formula. There are only nine similar-looking maps to choose from, with more expected down the line via downloadable content.

Shadowrun is a magnificent multiplayer adventure that is sure to keep you entertained for as long as you wish to play.

Recently I found an old collection of 360 games in my garage, including Shadowrun, as soon as I first saw the cover art, I thought it would be bad and cheesy. it was actually surprisingly fun with fluid controls. the graphics aren't the best but it was made in 2007. pretty fun and decent

Shadowrun for the Xbox 360 is a FPS with a very interesting concept. Gameplay is smooth and shooting is solid. But the game feels incomplete and the visuals are a bit disappointing. All in all worth checking out!

What a great game this was (and apparently still is!) The gameplay is that of a typical FPS but with so many variations on a 'rock-paper-scissors' theme. Trust me, you can pick it up cheap-PLAY THIS GAME!

In sum, don’t let the pricepoint keep you away from this game. This is one of those rare games you encounter where the gameplay is addicting, refreshing, refined, and innovative - making this highly recommended as a purchase. It really is worth the cost.

Overall, the actual game itself is pretty fun. The magic and tech abilities are good fun and, while the weapons don't have much variety, they are at least balanced. However, the lack of variety when it comes to game modes and maps is what makes this game a mere shadow of what it could have possibly been.

I have to help this game out a bit. Its now 2011 I have played this game ever sense. Its fun. Its pretty balanced. The learning curve is a bit high. Yes the game doesnt have a campaign. However after a couple years from now games wont have one so lets just say its ahead of its time. Is it to late to by this game. Their are some games still going last time i played. Thats bc this was a really good MP game. whats better than being able to teleport with a katana? If multilayer is dead you can play against bots. I would like to say TY to this game was one of the best 30$ games i ever bought. I will never get rid of it.

Shadowrun is definitely good--"Counter-Strike with magic" works very well--but it should be great. [Aug 2007, p.76]

Shadowrun has no visible persistent statistics, no way to modify character models, nothing, outside of Achievements, to serve as reward. As gamers, it's rewards we crave, be it of the narrative variety, in-game items, new options or modes, or something entirely different.

It's hard to make a glowing recommendation about a $60 game that includes virtually no offline mode, lacks variety in its weapons and match types, and suffers from rookie blunders in terms of presentation and interface. It all points to a rushed, chaotic development cycle.

It comes up dreadfully short in content, with no single-player campaign and only a handful of maps.
25
Rent it for a bit if you're particularly interested, but what could have really been a solid game turns out as almost half of one with an obvious focus on the unorthodox abilities that is just not going to cut it.

This is a SOLID shooter. I can't play this without being reminded of Counter Strike, and anyone who has played Counter Strike knows that it isn't about the Quantity of the content, but the Quality of it. This game is still a bit light on content, but in the gameplay department it absolutely dominates most shooters. Fun, balanced, and innovative, this is a shooter that deserves a try by anyone who's a fan of the FPS genre.

This feels like a low budget production but it does bring some very interesting twists to the shooter genre. Teleporting, gliders, growing trees that heal you and your allies, resurrections, and katanas. The graphics are dated but the game is surprisingly fun.

It is a good game and all but without leaderboards it just feels incomplete. I wish Microsoft would just make it free to play. It is the perfect game to do it with.
