Justin at YouNewb.com had some promising things to say about his Shadowrun beta experience.
Over-all I’ve been incredibly impressed with Shadowrun, enjoying it more than I did even Gears of War. It hasn’t quite achieved that level of multi-player nirvana that Rainbow 6: Vegas did for me, but I’ll be sure to get this one at release, no question: it offers up a strategic, if somewhat chaotic multi-player experience that will be a nice relief from the tedius gameplay that has become so many Live! shooters.
He does knock on the Shadowrun graphics. However, he may not know that the graphics will only get better in later builds of this game.

I am aware that these are not finalized graphics, which was why I wasn’t too harsh with regard to some of the issues. They’re definitely good, especially with how much is going on, I just hope a few more intricate details are worked out for the final build.
I’m optimistic about this game. It looks like it will be fighting for a lot of my time from Halo 3 because of the PC and 360 connectivity. From the initial screenshots I’ve seen, the graphics did leave something to be desired, but now that I’ve seen some videos of the actual gameplay, I’m not worried about it.
