After reading the 6.9 review Shadowrun recieved I figured I'd post a review from someone who actually played the game.

Have a read and let me know what you think after reading both reviews.

I had doubts after reading gamespots review but you make me want to go and buy this game as soon as possible. But I'm poor so I'll wait untill I gain some money.

This is one GameSpot review you should trust. I'd talked to about 10 people, each who have played Shadowrun and they all are sick of it. The game has no singleplayer and there's only one game mode for the online, which is like Capture the Flag, but the rounds can end as quick as a single minute, and then you have nothing else to do (literally)...

Just plain wrong your friends must not play it much. I believe even the GS review said there is attrition which is team deathmatch style.

Gamepro hasn't reviewed 360 version yet (users gave it a 4.8 out of 5) but the PC review is in and looks pretty good too...

http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/reviews/115148.shtml

 Gamepro gave 4.25 out of 5 which would be 8.5 out of 10

 

Another review site

http://www.2old2play.com/News/Shadowrun___The_Review

also gives shadowrun 8.5

Um, Jeff actually played the game & his review was right on.  I find it interesting that you are only posting links to review sites that back up your take on the game & none of the umpteen sites that are calling it mediocre at best.

I read all of that. Once again, that's only an opinion. I'll wait for the demo.

No offense but you didn't get your info from a reliable source because each of the three game types are different my favorite which you failed to mention existed is Attrition which is a team death match gametype and has nothing to do with capturing the flag except you can pick up the stick and it will show you where the last few enemies are if you cant find them.

The best word I could possibly use to describe shadowrun would be Good. It has an extraordinary number of flaws and it is very short on content. So far I'd score it in the low 7's at best, as it barely sneaks in to the "good" category imo.
