Shadowrun

"Great!"

Shadow Run is a Great game that mixes Magic with Modern weapons, it has 3D graphics (which is great for an Snes) and is fairly well detailed. Here's what i thought of the game:

Graphics: 3D, that's good for snes, it isn't very detailed though, seems a bit blurry, but everything looks like it's supposed to. The streets are nicely laid out, a bit confusing but there. The people looked how they were supposed to, but not overly good.

Sound: The sound was good, The music fit every scenario, but it wasn't the kind of music I'd like to listen to over and over again. The Horror music sounded like the horror Music, the fighting music sounded like the fighting music, it was what it was supposed to be. The sounds where fairly good. The gunfire sounded like Gunfire (a Pistol sounded different than a Shotgun) and the magic sounded like magic. I say they did a pretty good job on the sound.

Gameplay: The gameplay was pretty good! For the guns and magic you had a targeting mouse, it was pretty cool battle simulations. For the maps and terrain I didn't really like, they where all mazes that where confusing and you had to get to essential places that where hidden. I also Liked how you could hire people to come with you, there where Shadow runners, which could fight for you, and some had magic, and there where Deckers which could hack into computers and make the computer challenges to unlock doors more easy. And they have a unique talking system. You can learn words from people as you ask them about words you learned from other people. I think that they got the Idea of the speech from the classic game for NES Final Fantasy 2. You learned keywords that you could say to people and learn more information, alot like this one, so part of this game wouldn't be here if it weren't for Final Fantasy :P. The reality of the game is pretty realistic, you can shoot people on the street for no reason, and enemies can be anywhere, on roofs, ground, shooting through peak holes, and alot more places!

All in all this was a great game, I suggest to any RPG fan to play this game, It's great! It'll keep you hooked on the game for hours!!! One of the hugest games I've played! If you like gun games, and magic games, this is the game for you!
