yay, I've been looking forward to this game since they showed it at E3 last year and it was the worth the year wait. the game is just plain fun, and I have not heard anyone that has the game saying anything bad about it, a must have on the 360 especially if you are a big multiplayer person.

I really liked shadow run on Sega Genesis, I think it was the first RPG I ever played so I'm having mixed reactions that its just a multiplayer first person shooter.  I always had a thing for paper and pencil games, I never played shadow run but I did play Rifts.

EVERYONE HERE WHO IS SKEPTICAL WILL COME AROUND WHEN THEY ACTUALLY PLAY THE DEMO NEXT WEEK.  DON'T BELIVE THE UNINFORMED HATERS! 

That is all.  It's the greatest multiplayer game on the system.  Yay!

Do what I did and just look at it as a different game altogether and you will get past the hard feelings. Who knows maybe a Shadowrun RPG will come out if this game does well. Anything that sells gets sequels....too many sequels.

Nay, Forza Motorsport 2 is a much better value and is a huge awesome game with great online community support.  Shadowrun is very buggy and glitchy and has few modes, it seems like only 25% of a true next gen game.  Not to mention Shadowruns graphics look like trash.  Hope this helps. :D

The hype is true, this game is SUPER fun.  I waited a day because I was hesitant to buy it without any reviews up, but after hearing a few people on here rave about it I said what the heck.  So far I'm definitely glad I bought it.

Since your assessment reveals you havn't tried Shadowrun, and therefore have no basis for comparison, your words help no one.

i've seen video's of shadowrun.  don't see what the big deal is.  yea turning into smoke, running faster, teleporting and all that jazz seems fun in a shooter.  im not sayin anything yet though, gonna wait till i try the demo.  people seem to like it, someone on my friendlist made a motto saying best game ever or something, he was in the beta.

YAY!!! Shadowrun is a very good game, it's all about stradegy, it's pretty good. I died a couple of times on the online, but hey you have to think, you cant just run in there like some people do with Halo or Gears, you have no chance going in this blindly into battle, you have to think in this game. Overall what I've seen of it, this game is a great game online, It's fun to choose either the troll, elf, human, or dwarf. Each has advanatges and disadvantages, you'll see after doing the training.

Yay.  Good control, lots of interesting abilities to keep the game experience fresh.  I wonder where this game has been all these years?  Counterstrike with lots of cool strategy besides just knowing the map and shooting accurately.  Good times. 

 If you dig multiplayer only first person shooters it's pretty fun.  If you are strapped for cash I think Rainbow6 is a better value if only because you get a solo player experience as well AND it has great multiplayer.

YAY! I got both games yesterday... Forza 2 is fun, and im a track enthusiast and drive sports car... I should have not been able to put the game down, but racing sims, other then collecting cars are rather boring... shadowrun was pure chaos. I got 4 hours of sleep last night due to the fact I was summoning dwarf with a katana blade that kept teleporting through walls on the enemies.... the mulitplayer is much better then halo imo.

If you like on-line multiplayer you have to get this game.

 

The only disappointment is there is no single player story mode.  It would have put the game over the top if they had a story mode where you would play as the lineage and you had to go through levels stealing artifacts and making it out alive or something just to have more game modes.  Other than that it is a pretty dope game.

your in no position to judge then.... buy the games, I got both and shadowrun is a better game... just maybe $60 is a little steep. The part that makes the game intresting is that it actually is alot like an rpg. You progress and gain more abilities during each match and can create a specific role for your character.... you could potentially, due nothing but heal others and revive players and stay out of harms way and you are playing a vital part of the team. You can warp through a wall... drop a summon spell and warp out, or use your glider to get up to an unreachable area for sniping.

the best input is from the "normal people" (Us)   that have been playing it.....and in my opinion it is the best game on xbox live.....it is extremely fun and can be very tense but at the same time is very deep

After reading all the yay's, I may have to pick this game up.  I'm a little strapped for cash so I may have to trade in a game to get it, but it sounds like its def. worth it.

I have a few questions, sorry if I sound like a noob, I just haven't been paying attention much to this game:

1. Is it online only? Any single player involved at all?

2. Does it cost any extra fees to play online? Just wanna make sure.

Pretty much online only yes. Unless you want to play with bots forever. No story line or Campaign.

 

And no it does not cost extra to play online.  You just need Xbox Live Gold

I'm still waiting for reviews.  The demo comes out June 6th, and I believe Two Worlds comes out 10 days after.  So I'm just waiting to see if I should get this or not or wait for Two Worlds.  I want to use my money wisely.

Two Worlds looks like a lame Oblivion rip off.  I mean, the games story seems retarded, the fact that there are a finite number of enemies and that it's possible to wipe out every opponent in the game sucks, and what's the point of it all if the fighting suscks, and the combat is nothing more then button mashing, have you seen it?  The game looks terrible.

It IS the best game ever... best online game, anyhow.  I was in the beta too, and they improved it a lot.  It's not ugly as some have said, although there are a few havoc physics bugs they should address (wiggly corpses.)

I love it when a good game with zero hype shines. Sorry you can't find it - no hype of course means limited stock. The gaming community NEEDS more original IPs like this.

I couldnt agree anymore man. the makers of this game should be given some props for taking a chance on some OUT THERE gameplay... loving it so far.

Love when a game you think will suck, ends up being awesome

Right on! Good work you won't be upset. As a tip: Do the tutorials as hard as that may be. Patience will pay off. Oh and watch out for elves with katanas- remember I warned you.

BTW- nice gamertag
