First am not writing from a view of a die hard shadowrun fan . I barely know anying about the shadowrun universe. So shadowrun is a online first person shooter that does nothing to the shadowrun universe but aside from that its a great shooter. The shooting side of the game is pretty basic unsually keeping your aim on the opponent and letting lose is all you need to do and there is not a wide range of weapons. The more exciting aspect is Magic and Tec you start each round buying weapons, Magic and Tec. Magic works like this each race has different essence size, essence it is the same as mana and you need it to use magic. Now, Tec does not need any essence but having Tec equipped will take up some of you essence meaning you have less to work with. Then you get to choose a race ;there’s the humans, which are a balanced race, there are the elves who are fast and regenerate health but have a small health bar. The dwarves are hard to hit because of there size and can survive a headshot plus have the biggest essence but take twice as long to regenerate their essence but absorb essence. Last are the trolls, which being slow and having a low essence bar but can take a whole lot of lead and don’t get slow down by heavy weapons. There’s no single player just some training sequences which is a shame because I could think of some cool mission you could have to sneak in to a base and grab the artefact (which is a flag) and take it to the roof to be picked up by a helicopter before it explodes. The graphics look great for most of the game but what’s weird is when you walk up a ladder you see some one floating up the ladder. its a great game but it feels a little unfinished so you don’t feel like your getting your monies worth.
