You have crashed on an uknown planet, You are to make your way into several places of the planet. But you are not alone, not by any means. The tension is there when you make your first step to learn knowing the planet's citizens. But be aware, they are not as friendly as they may look like. Keep that in mind and you might survive for a while. The first meeting with a Skaarj seems rather easy but there are different kind of Skaarjs and they are not as dumb as you would like them to be. Map after map you think it soon got to be the last map, but when you find out that it's a very long game and that it has many different kind of monsters with their own weaknesses and strenghts. Unreal in 1998 was a sight you could experience nowhere else but in Unreal, Unreal was the most advanced real time based FPS game at the time. But it was also very different, not another Quake game or Doom game even. It was it's own kind and at ways it created a new meaning of reality in games, even today Unreal engine is quite powerful. Graphically there was nothing else to say than that it was refreshingly awesome. It had high res textures, very detailed environments, huge atmosphere. Detailed 3D Models and powerful effects such as bumpmapping. Sounds in the game kept the high quality feel of Unreal, though some sounds sounds more low quality than others. But yet it has better sounds than many other FPS games at the time it was released. The value of this game for a collector is priceless, it is a game to have and certainly one to not forget. The tilt can't but score a high score as since it has incredibly great environments. Now to the cons of the game; It feels a bit of a test, like if it introduces a new sort of world but fails a bit at making it as stable as some other games, slow-downs can cause some anger among some people. Some maps gets repeative and linear as if it was not meant to be played but to be looking at. Multiplayer requires quite some, especially since the game needs quite some power under the hood. But once you get around that, and if you got a good or decent computer then you could aso enjoy this game entirely for what it is. Overall it is simply a 9.2/10 game.
1998 was a great year for action gamers, SiN, Half-Life, and Rainbow Six had been released to the public. While Half-Life was generally regarded as the best game of that year, you must take a step back. We are going to ... Read Full Review
Unreal is a true classic. I couldn't Imagine what this game would've been like back in 1998 when the game was released. Unreal has so much to offer and it is a very rare and unique game to find. I found that all the diff... Read Full Review
