Shadowrun Walkthrough Video Game Strategy Guide (XBOX 360)
Sometimes, a certain game comes along that's just a complete pain to review. Whether it's a title you really wanted to like but let you down immensely, or a game that plays well but has one or two huge flaws, I sometimes find myself at a loss about certain games.
Shadowrun is one such game. To most, the magic-based shooter is an abomination to the license and, as such, it should be cast back to whence it came.
To be fair to those with said opinion, the Shadowrun license is not used to its fullest. The game uses very little of the backstory—with only a few small sequences for the intro to each tutorial chapter, and some remedial text in the game's instruction manual and official web site—and there are quite a few flat-out omissions and liberties taken with the core content. It's futile to attempt to argue that Shadowrun is a worthwhile use of the base license. The verdict has already been decided. What I can instead do is give you an idea of how the game plays and hope that prejudices can be put aside for the sake of a decent game suffering the misfortune of ill planning.
