Sarcastic Gamer is ready for the emails, hatred and verbal abuse Shadowrun fans will bring after hearing the song, so go ahead give it a listen to see if "Bad Game" captures your feelings.

Speaking as someone who owns the game and plays it, it really isn't anything special but it's enjoyable enough once you get used to it.

Sounds like they were fans of the old RPG and it's a personal problem. But they mention matchmaking when Shadowrun's matchmaking is a lot faster than Halo 2's.

Yea there's some hardcore Shadowrun fans on this site, remember the Bioshock "has no multiplayer so it shouldn't be as good" argument?

I love Shadowrun, but I agree that it's not the biggest game in terms of content. The balance of magic and weapons is something to behold, though.

I personally love the game, I disagree with why some claim its unfinished. I tend to think its a very balanced and polished game that pretty much stays in my 360.
I know some claim the lack of single player campaign is why the game is unfinished, but was Battlefield Modern Combat Or Black Hawk Down (both XBOX versions) actually enhanced by the inclusion of these single player campaigns? I personally would rather have the bots in the Multi player maps.
The only complaints I have on the game is the ladder animation and sometime the bots are just too dang good (think that one is my lack of "mad skillz")

Great gameplay, bad execution and presentation. I still enjoy it though.

Shadowrun's sales show that Sarcastic Gamer can't really be blamed.

The song is a joke, its not done to debate the merits of the game. Missing the point FTW!!!

Hey dudes. To echo the sentiment one fo you already expressed.... It's a joke....
A poorly-sung, loosely factual, somewhat original..... joke.
Hope you all enjoy. If you didn't like that song, we have several others floating around on the site as well. Maybe you can find one you like.

I really really enjoyed this game and it will most likely be a future purchase. 60 dollar game? Not so much but 30-40 I think so people give it a bad rap because its muliplayer only but cmon people they said that along time ago plus people didnt whine about battlefield 2(pc) being multi only and its a fantastic game, same with counterstrike. Yes the game needs more maps and a few more game modes but other than that its original strategic and fun, and it rewards team work which is also a plus.

Not a bad game, but fades into the background amidst the mass of great 2007 releases (in my opinion).

I'm with MDJ2010. Shadowrun is only $30 at Amazon now with free shipping, but why would I buy that when I have BioShock for the next month and Halo 3 after that?

The song is spot on. Shadowrun fell far from its make. Not a horrible game by any means, but it wasn't really Shadowrun and it wasn't really as good as Counter-Strike either. I have the game and I only played it like twice.

Bullshit.
Shadowrun is one of the most underrated games in 2k7. the freshest mp experience since... magic, tech, everything balanced at it's best. Every single match and round a new shit. excellent.
Spread the Word:
BUY SHADOWRUN ya halo fanboys ;)

I have shadowrun, I like shadowrun. At the same time, I can see why some people have a problem with Shadowrun. Shadowrun was everything we were told it would be, a multiplayer game. Should be no surprise or feel like a missing feature that there's no single player, it's not that type of game.
Anyway, I like all of Sarcastic Gamers game and enjoyed this song like their other parodies.

Love the game. The only issue I ahve with it is the lack of maps.

I will play role of Unsaracastic Gamer: Shadowrun sucks because they didn't even bother to finish the Multiplayer aspect of the game.

Most of you people didn't play at release did you? lol I played it on the PC for a month and it was STILL slow as hell to join a game. I gave up on it after that.
It's a shitty PC port anyway. Limited crap out of me.
