Yeah, MLG has contract with FASA to have it as part of the competitive cirtcuit line-up. An experimental open tournament took place at an MLG even not to long ago, and then it's very first official tournament about a week ago at MLG Chicago.
The review MLG gave for Shadowrun was strictly based on the competitive aspect for consoles.
As far as the mediocre reviews, I would have to agree with them. Considering the all factors that go into a game, the game at best is a little above average. Now reviewing this game from a competitive standpoint, I would rate the game much higher. There's a lot of individual and team skill that goes into this game, the amount of strategy is incredible and the potential is unlimited.
If anyone is basing there judgment on Shadowrun from what the've heard from these forums or a bunch of reviews they may have read, let me tell you this; Shadowrun fails to deliver in a lot of ways, but the initial intent of the game was achieved and one must experience it themselves to truly understand the depth of the game.
heheh....Anyways, how did we get from debating over Huxley's potential as a competitive game, to discussing the credibility of Shadowrun?
