I call anything that you haven't played before or don't know much about a "blind buy." I just used the info supplied by GOG to decide it was worth a try.
Shogo feels like a mash-up of Robotech, Xenogears, Deus Ex, and Unreal. Fortunately for us the story and characters are original so there's fresh material there.
On the negative side, there's a few shortcomings. The graphics (even for an old game) look kinda weird, at least with some of the characters. The Mechs are a bit too close to feeling like you are not piloting them and you are just a giant human with a gun. This last point isn't bad, it's just something that the game design in me would have tweaked before release. Honestly both of these major flaws can be overlooked though.
On the plus side, there's some awesome and goofy humor in certain parts of the game. It's not always in your face stand up comedy, but if you're looking you'll get a kick out of it. So far this game has been rocking on fun factor. That's why I wish I could honestly give it a 5/5, but already mentioned flaws will prevent me from that.
Bottom Line: If you like mech games, shooters, robotech, or anything along those lines you ought to have a great time playing this game. I highly recommend it!
