Genesis

Shadowrun

This game is much closer to a real RPG than the SNES version was, but the SNES version moved a little faster and was easier to play. If you're a real RPG die-hard, it shouldn't deter you.

Shadowrun takes the popular Fasa universe and creates a unique plot with elements such such as Deckers and lifted from the actual RPG. Apart from that, it is a decent RPG-style game.

Shadowrun incorporates action with RPG role-playing strategies. This one is pretty engrossing, with excellent overhead action sequences, and plenty of areas to explore. Fans of the role-playing system will definitely want this.

Shadowrun is only a few steps away from realizing its true potential but what is there is very recommendable. It's definitely a good RPG experience that all Genesis owners should try at least once. Highly recommended for those willing to try something different.

Shadowrun is a good RPG. It has an interesting plot, well thought out gameplay mechanics, and it faithfully recreates the popular Shadowrun pencil-and-paper RPG. Most RPG fans will find it very enjoyable, but those with little patience may quickly frustrated at having to take so many random missions.

Where's the drama? Where's the action? The music is awful and Shadowrun isn't even that nice looking - except, oddly, for the really cool cyberspace scenes. In fact, the whole game feels like the designers spent all their time saying "We can make cyberspace look a whole lot better than that other version," then at the last minute realized they had to put a game in there, too.
