Shadowrun

RSS

Cool magic and tech abilities keep this shooter's multiplayer interesting for awhile, but not long. And with the complete lack of a single player campaign, you'll have nowhere else to turn when you get bored.

Genre: Shooter
Release date: May 29, 2007

Full price... half game. Is it worth it?

Jun 1, 2007

Whatever you're expecting from Shadowrun, you're bound to be disappointed. Are you a fan of the pen-and-paper role-playing universe that combined cyberpunk tech with fantastical magic? Don't expect to find the depth of that fiction here. Shadowrun is a first person shooter, not an RPG, and the flimsy instruction manual contains far more story and character than the game itself. Okay, so what if all you're looking for is a solid action experience to tide you over until Halo 3? Unfortunately, ...

Shadowrun - hands-on

We team up with OXM and fight PC Gamer for bragging rights

Feb 26, 2007

After getting our first look at Shadowrun - the latest first-person shooter from FASA Interactive and Microsoft Game Studios - we had several concerns. The decision to not include a single-player campaign in a game based on the popular pen and paper role-playing franchise seemed questionable at best. But more importantly, Shadowrun will be the flagship title for Windows Vistas Live Anywhere service, which allows 360 and PC players to challenge each other online; and we were worried about ... » Read Full Shadowrun preview

Shadowrun

Microsoft shows off its controversial new first-person shooter.

Feb 6, 2007

Ditching the role-playing elements of the original game for straight up action, Shadowrun has been completely overhauled for its debut on Xbox 360 and Windows Vista. You wont find a densely woven story or complex character development here; rather, action is the name of the game in this reincarnation of the series. In fact, Shadowrun skimps on solo play and goes for multiplayer gold with online gameplay between Xbox 360 and Windows Vista. The lack of a substantial single player experience could ... » Read Full Shadowrun preview

Multiplayer. That is coding team FASA's eggs and that is their sole, lonely, solitary basket. Because this, their E3-announced shooter Shadowrun, will not have a Campaign, Story or even single player mode, unless you count a few 'bot battles and a tutorial. Which we don't. That being said, jettisoning a single-player game in favour of multiplayer only might not be the worst decision in the world when you consider the amount of balancing ahead of them: magic versus weaponry; Vista-powered PC ... » Read Full Shadowrun preview
