Shogo

Summary: Could have been great!
Review: All this game needed was a better story and a little more time ont the characters, and surrondings. This is a really good game it is really fun to play and it is pretty cool when you kill the people and the robots. They kind of over exagerate on the killing the humans when you kill them the spew out so much blood. Like all of the blood in there body goes out through one little cut or bullet hole.

Summary: So much potential...
Review: First off, I really enjoyed playing Shogo but I was left wanting. The game has much growing room. I found the game particularly unstable and highly prone to crash. The story was cheesy, even for a comic book. As has been pointed out before, who came up with this rather pathetic attempt at a translation? The game was also a little bit too easy, can we say predictable AI? When will someone come up with a baddy that won't just stand there while you shoot him if he can't see you? You gotta love the weapons, ya just can't beat a good sniper rifle!

Summary: Extremely Well Done
Review: For those of who don't know this was a translated japanese game originaly, big mechas, very much like in anime. But the whole game isn't played in the mecha, there are missions, that you as a solider, must complete on foot. It isn't a mindless game where you are guided through, there are a couple places throughout the game where you actually get to chose whether you do one thing or the other, and hence changing the rest of the game. It has awsome multiplayer and great graphics, just make sure you have a computer with at least 500 MHz, it will be a little jumpy if you have too much less.

Summary: Shogo rocks!
Review: I don't normally play all the way through 1st person shooters, I get bored long after blowing away the two thousandth guy with my shotgun and give up because I can't stand the boredom anymore. However, Shogo has a special place in my heart, as far as 1st person shooters, it has the best single player story ever (IMHO). The anime theme is so cool and the characters are great. Plus its a lot of fun being that big mech dude, and the other characters make me laugh (especially at the end).

Summary: Best Kept Secret in Gaming
Review: In the world of Film, it often occurs that higher-profile projects steal the limelight from lesser-known, albeit more deserving contenders.

This seemingly occurs as well in the world of gaming. One such case took place years ago, and it involved the game Shogo.

Shogo, a very polished FPS, is a game which takes itself much less seriously than others of its kind yet surpasses them in many ways. It integrates a great game engine, fun gameplay, different game modes and even slight RPG elements into its formula, making it a true winner.

Monolith's game certainly does not lack style. Based on Anime cartoons, both level and character design are greatly hightened by the thematic choice. What we are left with is a game that at no point bores the player.

Shogo seems to really nail the genre it belongs to. While providing a (then) much needed change of style for an FPS, it did not lose playability in the process. Mortal Kombat-like blood and gore are spread all over in typical Anime fashion, and the maps are divided between slighlty strategic and full blown-action.

The use of the locations is quite bright, making you backtrack only to find reinforecements have been called, in a realistic manner. The gameplay is well balanced, and little details such as the speed of the human character's walk are just right.

Consider this my vote for a sequel.

Summary: SHOGO Mobile Armor Division
Review: SHOGO is a great game, it is fast-paced and enjoyable, although it lacks somewhat in the toughness category. The story is decent and the fact that some of the stages use MCA combat and others use manual combat is unique, (or was at it's release). I highly recommend this game, I will suggest getting your 3D card first though!

Summary: Bigger IS better
Review: Shogo is one of my favorite games and thats saying alot since Im not much of a fan of first person shoot 'em ups.
the game can be played several different ways at first... no probably should'nt tell you what happens. anyway its got choices that determine the outcome of the game. each person has at least 12 gallons of blood though so if you dont like blood this is not your game. I think it will be fun for anime fans and new comers alike.

Summary: A good and overlooked shooter
Review: Shogo was a shooter released around the time of Half-life. Itfeatured some original twists. For example, there is a cool animethemed story full of twists and turns. It let you run around in a huge robot (mecha) and on foot. There are completely different weapon sets for both level sets.... The levels are well integrated into the plot and well designed. The graphics are very nice and are built on the Lithtech engine by Monolith who also made Shogo. Watch for this engine its giving Quake 3 and Unreal a run for their money. Oh and did I mention that the main character kicks ...? After hearing some of his one-liners I almost fell off my chair. The bottem line here is that Shogo is a great game for its extremely low price. If you are one of the many that missed it rectify your mistake forthwith.
