Shadowrun tries to say it has a story line. In the future magic has gone away for a while. But when a artifact is found magic is brought back. While the Lineage tries to protect this magic the RNA is a group trying to capture the magic for their own good. Yeah that is all you are going to get for storyline. Want to know why? Well there is no single player...unless you count bot matchs. I know how some older players are angry how Shadowrun use to be a rpg. But not playing the original before I don't care. The gameplay is two teams fighting against each other in a counterstrike fashion. At the beginning of each round you can buy new weapons or magic or tech. The weapons range from a simple SMG to a rocket launcher. While magic are spells such as strangle which sends out large crystal spike that hurt when you go near them. There is also teleport which allows you to go through walls. And tech are things like gliders and anti-magic generators. Also at the beginning of each match you chose your race. There are humans, which are the basic race and stats. The Elves, can heal themselves. The Dwarves, can steal essence (magic) from close teammates or enemies. And the Trolls who can harden there skin when attacked. There are only two gametypes available at the time which are Raid which is basically capture the flag and Attration which is a deathmatch.
Even though there are only two gametypes the game does'nt get old, if you have Xbox Live. The graphics are impressing as well.
In conclusion I give this game a 9.0/10 if you have Xbox Live and a 2.0/10 without Xbox Live
