Unreal II: The Awakening returns to the fascinating futuristic setting of Unreal, first visited in 1998. Since then we've had to content ourselves with the excellent Unreal Tournament multiplayer combat series. For this first true sequel Epic Games hired Legend Entertainment, who made a name for themselves with the Unreal: Return to Na Pali expansion pack and the woefully underrated Wheel of Time game (based on the books by Robert Jordan). The result is fun and frantic, if a bit too short-lived.
Unreal II's best feature is its lush graphics engine. It's state of the art. All the locations, which range from bizarre alien worlds to those based on the film Alien, exude dynamic realism. Human and alien characters are well-animated and rendered, but have a cartoonish exaggeration that clashes with the realism of the architecture. The designers were undoubtedly shooting for a comic-book look, which explains why the women look like blow-up dolls with bare midriffs and the men have hulking muscles. The monsters, too, ripple with strength and menace. This style will please some, but is less effective than the more realistic styles employed by similar titles--although at least the art direction is consistent throughout the game.
Unreal cast you as a prisoner who--through both good and bad luck--was freed from confinement, but marooned on an alien world. He goes on to become a sort of messiah figure to the four-armed natives, while other, scarier, natives want to kill him. It ends with a cliffhanger that this game does nothing to resolve. Now, you play as a new character who works for the Terran Colonial Authority. You're a space marshal on the ship Atlantis. You and your buxom partner, who looks more like an exotic dancer than a police woman, have to solve problems in a game only tenuously connected with the original Unreal.
Core gameplay and mission design are good, but uninspired. Legend has taken a conservative, almost minimalist approach. They've made a solid shooter that takes full advantage of Epic's state-of-the-art graphics engine, but did nothing to set the shooter apart from the crowd. One hopes that Unreal II: The Awakening awakens Epic to the fact that Unreal is a genuinely interesting franchise that deserves more. --Andrew S. Bub

In 1998 Tim Sweeney changed the face of FPS gaming forever. Unreal was released and became a major gaming hit that revolutionized fps, along with practically reinventing the game engine (the unreal engine is a very important core gaming tool behind many modern fps today). That concept was a reality thanks to Tim Sweeney spending 3 years in his garage. At the time this was the reason to buy a graphics cards like a Voodoo or a TNT and run it on your Windows 95 system.

Unreal 2 is a great improvement is some ways from the first one and some loses.First,Unreal 2 has a strange story line where you are supposed to find artifacts for someone(i forgot his name) but the places are to easy to beat.
The bosses are not really hard to beat with some weapons but they look hard.
I mean sure you might jump back one or two times but it isnt really scary.
The last level was way to easy to beat.Also some people might try to sell Unreal for more than what you can ... Read More

I wish I could say how great this game is but I can't even install it. There are 2 discs for installation. The first disc will install without a hitch. The second disc, however, has a corrupt file on it (data3.cab) and cannot be read/copied no matter what you try. Thus, the installation will fail every time. Buyer beware about this one... not worth the headache.

It is pretty to look at, but falls flat when compared to the first game in the series.

After all the Multi-player versions that came out, Unreal universe is exspanded again in a new single player Adventure. This time with voice acting and facial Posing. NEAT...
Still the game even on it Hardest Settig was way to easy for me in the first run through. and was way too short for my taist. then again it was still long.
The weapons where balanced fairly well, lots of nice features. had a fairly intresting story and an intresting Slant.
Still it dissapointed ... Read More
