Shadowrun, one of the most underrated FPS titles of 2007?

Even though I picked up GTAIV, I’ve been spending more of my time lately playing Lost Odyssey and Shadowrun. I’ve put several hours into Shadowrun now, and with it being multiplayer only, I figured I’ve given it enough time to warrant a review. My quick thoughts on it include:

Good:
- Party Matchmaking makes it easy to find games and stick with friends
- Interesting blend of races, magic, tech, and contemporary weaponry
- Addictive Counter-Strike-like gameplay (earn money from round to round, no respawning, etc.)
- Bots for offline play

Bad:
- Multiplayer only (no campaign mode)
- Lack of splitscreen modes for either offline or online play
- Lack of stat tracking of any sort
- Lack of persistent rank system
