Shadowrun IGN review

Filed in archive Game Reviews on June 5, 2007

IGN has played Shadowrun, but what did they think of it? While the core gameplay is looking good, there are problems with how Shadowrun is presented, online play, maps (paid downloads anyone?) and lack of a longterm reason to play the game.

If you're somehow able to brush aside the shoddy presentation, poor server management, limited number of playable maps, and lack of long-term extras, you'll find a well-designed nucleus of gameplay here. It's such a solid center you'll spend numerous hours uncovering new tweaks and wrinkles on how to best eliminate opponents. Curious? Pay the hefty full price of admission to see for yourself.


Here's another take:


Gliding and teleporting will probably hold your attention for a few weeks, but it's hard to recommend a purchase of Shadowrun with so many gaffes in presentation and odd design decisions. True, there's no online shooter quite like Shadowrun, but that doesn't mean there are not five or six better options already available.


Worth your hard earned money? Ill probably recommend it to die hard Shadowrun fans who wanna try an online game based on the franchise but FPS veterans wont find much here.
