This is probably not going to be an objective, unbiased review, because Shogo: MAD happens to appeal to at least three demographic groups I am a member of: weeaboos, FPS gamers and boomers... errr, I mean 90s kids.

It's a great game, provided that you are willing to treat it as a product of its time: the late 90s.
If you are some zoomer born after 2000, and pick this game up in 2022 or any year later, then you're going to be met with horribly dated graphics and janky mechanics. However, if you are willing overlook the graphics, the 90s jank, then you will actually end up uncovering a hidden gem.
Shogo: MAD is not only a fine game, but a very innovative one - as far as I'm aware, the only FPS that allows you to play both as a human being, and as a giant mecha. That's right, you spend around half of the game piloting a giant mecha, so this game is 100% recommended to Gundam fans.
Now, I have to mention it again: this game is a product of its time, very 90s, so there's no reloading, no health regeneration, level design is downright labyrthian and you will be backtracking A LOT, the AI is ridiculously easy to defeat (tho, the game's creators seem to have been self-aware of it, hence the unfair placement of enemies in corridors, corners, behind doors).
Despite being made by Americans, it has a very anime feel to it, with most characters having Japanese-sounding names, the protagonist sounding straight-up like your typical 90s anime protagonist, etc.
It makes me very sad, that the Shogo franchise did not blossom into an entire saga - that's right, sequels were planend for this game, but unfortunately, as of 2022, none were produced so far.

It's a nice game, definitely worthy of playing, and also worthy of a remaster (if you are a game developer, or the original developer, and reading this by some chance)
