ONE-LINE REVIEW

A Must buy for ANYONE who has a Xbox 360


REVIEW

Well, I'm finally reviewing a game I absolutely adore! This game is one of the reasons you would buy an Xbox 360 in the first place! Infusing Magic, Tech and Weapons, you set off over Xbox Live or a Bot-mach and try to escape/protect a mysertious object named "The Artifact". The Games stroy is rather complex! There isn't actually a story-line you progress through per say, but the start of the game is a tutorial, then you go and either enter Bot-maches or play online! Don't take this as a bad point though, as it makes it feel like an actually story, instead of giving a single-player campaign. The Start of every match borrows slightly from Counter-Strike, with you hacving you buy yourt weapons, Magic and Tech. If you are ressurected, you do not have your weapons you brought previously, but you do keep you Magic / Tech. I say Ressurected because if you Die, You do not respawn unless a team-mate ressurects you (A Magic Spell), which will give you another chance, but if you die again, your outta there! Also, if you ressurector dies, you slowly bleed out AND if you get slashed in the back with a deadly kitana you also bleed out, the only way to stop is to throw down a Tree of Life (A tree which gives out health) and await someone to ressurect you. Overall, this is total awesomeness and defines the Xbox 360 from PS3 drastically! You even can fight against Windows Vista people for the first time over Xbox Live


BEST BIT
Combineing Team-work with magic and Technology to create a perfect team


WORST BIT
Most of the Achievement are based on playing cross-platform (XBOX vs VISTA)


OVERALL SCORE

9.5/10

I Think Shadowrun May Well Be THE Best Shooter On 360

^The games already out why didn't you just go pick it up. I rented this and took it to my friends house... very fun game. <3 teleporting through walls then backing up and just unloading on whoever forms.

I'm glad i've helped you sekasi, people are friendly over live on it as well, and its a very, very fun break from playing Halo (whoever, in their sad minds still do).

Temp, I always order from Amazon or another online service. Credit card UPS delivered goods beats taking a drive downtown.

Infested, yeah thanks dude. I used to play a LOT of shooters (still the reigning world champion of Quake3 TDM :D) but took a bit of a break. Been busy playing the bigs and Major league baseball 2k7. Will be interesting to see this game.

Was wondering as well, whatcha think of assassins creed? I know its not out yet, but do you think it looks promising or not

Wow! Hello Quake 3 master! Lol, Yeah I really like the way Assassins Creed is turning out, i'd love it if it was Prince from Prince of Persia under the hood =D
