Shadowrun for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

First off, beware.
There is no SP campaign, or story mode, and really has very little to do with the shadowrun franchise.

It is an arcade shooter, similar to Counterstrike, but with tech and magic thrown in for fun.

The versatility of what you build your character out to be is great.

There are 4 races to pick from giving a spectrum of strength, resilience, magic ability, and speed. Each has some special trait that helps them in their more suited roll for their stats. (For example the trolls are big and tough, and their special ability makes them even tougher, humans are versatile and can use magic and tech without penalty, and also get bonus cash in the beginning)

The weapon selection is meager, but covers all your basic needs. A pistol, which is free, then an SMG, a Rifle, a Shotgun, a Katana, a Minigun, a sniper rifle, and of course a behemoth of an RPG that will cost you an arm and a leg to buy.

The real beauty is, as I said, the tech and magic. Teleport, heal, ressurect, set up barriers, summon a minion or turn into a ghost at will with your magic. Glide, see enemies through walls, get an accuracy bonus, a speed boost, or destroy all magic in an area of effect with your tech.

You get 3 buttons that are able to be quickly mapped to your choice of ability, and any extras can be launched by "Quick Casting" (pulling up the menu, highlight, and pull trigger) for those less time crucial abilities. You can create a wide assortment of combos.

Be a ninja and take teleport, a sword, and see enemies through walls to slash at the enemies teams flanks.

Be a healer and have tree of life (creates a healing field), ressurect, and means to get in and out of danger to your teammates.

Be a tank and take a minigun with smartlink and tree of life (to heal while you kill)

Be a sniper in the skies gliding around headshotting your foes.

Brilliantly thought out all told, it's too bad there is no sequel lined up
