Ugh, HOW? WHY?
The graphics are awful. Its hardly a visual feast when a massive blue smudge of colour is a typical enemy. And it looks like it's running at 8 frames a second. Yes, 8 frames a second. Despite the Xbox being able to do some stunning things, the enemies animations are HORRIBLE.
As for the weapons, what weapons? Although the game was so bad I didn't get to see the whole thing, there are no bullet based weapons what so ever. Instead, the closest thing you get to an assault rifle is a crystal gun that farts out blue crystals. Although there were some good alt modes that Unreal is famous for.
Unreal is also famous for it's out right violence. After playing the first game, I expected carnage in this. Even though it's a 16+ and the violence was set to full, all I seen were badly designed aliens slowly curling up at 8 frames a second with no blood what so ever.
The story, how I hated it. "People are disappearing without a trace and you have to find out why " is pretty much the objective of every level. It's made even worse by the fact that theres not even a plot.
I didn't have Xbox Live when I got this, so I can't say much about the multiplayer.
When I got this, I had to tear off about 5 Pre Owned Stickers from the cover. Now I see why. I'm not the only one who thinks this about Unreal 2-possibly the worst sequel ever made.
