Now that Shadowrun is out, 'n I'm assuming people bought it, how does it play?

I never got the Beta, 'n Iuno if I wana spend $60 on this, so for those out there who bought it, how is it?

Graphics aren't the most important thing, but are they at least decent so I don't have to look at ugly textures and character models? Or are they terrible?

How are the animations? Do they move smoothly or are the characters really unrealistic (as far as elves and trolls can be realistic)

How is the gameplay itself? Do the characters run too slow, too quick, perfect medium? Is the gameplay more UT, Halo, or CS? Or some other game/combination?

All the new techs/equipment/magic, do any of it seem overpowering so everyone will use it? Or is it all balanced? Are any especially fun, any especially useless?

How is the lag 'n framerate?

In general, since gamespot doesn't have a review up yet, how would you rate this game? Also please factor in replayability and longtivity of the game? I know it's only the 1st day but many of these things can already be answered,,,

Anyways thanks in advanced,,

I'm heading out to pick it up now - hopefully it's decent.  I buy most games though - so if it's even mildly good, it'll be fine by me.

its kinda "Meh..."

 

Its not that rewarding beating bots or other players with tehc or magic or even a gun... tho teleporting is fun for the first 5 minutes, the game just doesnt deliver the Shadowrun i was hoping for.. good thing I dont pay for 360 games,cause if i did i would be very angry. :evil:

That's no different than say playing Unreal Tournament as a single player though.

Considering you're probably a modder. I hope you find your 360 bricked when you get home.

It looks great, I'm buying it when it hits Europe on the sixth or seventh in June.

 The game reminds me of UT, with something RPG-ish in it.

God, I hope you are just pretending to be stupid...

 If I where modding I wouldnt parade the 360 forums about it and MS would have banned my live account long ago...

No, Im not a modder...

I know several people who have modded their 360's and now they are ALL bricks.  I knew M$ would get around to it but didnt know it would be so soon. Good times.

I think its going be better then Halo 3RamboSymbiot
Between the 2 betas, I know I played Shadowrun about 10X more... tis the best multiplayer on the system, in my opinion.  I was in the beta, and am thrilled to see all the maps tonight.
