Unreal 2


Recommended Posts

I was thinking of buying Unreal 2 for a while. I noticed it dropping i price rather quick so I figured it sucked, but I was so wrong. This is the best 19 bucks I've spent on a game in a long time! Absolute sweet grahics engine and great gameplay. Was everyone expecting multiplayer? I'm just wondering why it dropped in price so quick? Its a shame Halo for PC didn't use this gfx engine.

Graphically, the game is great, but the problem with it is if you take away the graphics what you get is a game which has had no improvement in terms of gameplay on games over the past 7-8 years - indeed you could argue that the original Unreal was far more innovative and atmospheric than its sequel. Also, when it was released it was horribly bug ridden, and lastly, took a frighteningly short time to complete.

For such a long-awaited game, a game that was for so long hyped to Doom 3 levels, it was a horrible let down.

I loved Unreal II, personally. Yes it was linear, but who cares? It was freggin' fun, in my opinion! I played it non-stop when I first got it... I wasn't going to get it, originally, after hearing how it sucked. Then the demo came out and I had to get it. So much so, in fact, that I had 2 faulty copies (from the same store) that I returned and went to a completely different store further away just to get a working copy.

XMP is great, too. It's one of the best online games I've played, bar none.
