Unreal is fun to play but its day is over.

For less than 10 dollars Unreal is fun and worth its cost but for hardcore gun-toting maniacs thrn Unreal Toyrnament is your calling. However if you just want to play a good shooter with nice graphics and to practice skills against an OK AI then Unreal is a good buy.

Fun as hell

The game may be old, but it's still fun as hell. The scenery and graphics are really not that bad at all. Quite a change from "traditional" fps games... which is definitely a good thing.

great graphics, but ti does have its flaws.

Unreal is a good game...Lots of hours of gameplay, good graphics, and nice weapons and enemies renderings. There is some flaws though. Its very dark and easy to get lost in. Also the game levels are more maze like than they are enemy-difficult. over all pretty good though.***

Unreal is the best game I've ever played

Unreal has had me enthralled for the last year-and-a-half since I purchased a copy and started playing this enchanting game. Unreal has superb music, great sound effects, and legendary graphics. The weapons you use are varied and fun to use. You encounter very lifelike enemies with impressive AI. The levels are very beautiful and they run the gamut from high-tech space ships to mystical landscapes to eerie castles and temples.

Perhaps my only criticism is that Unreal lacks a scoring system. I would like to be able to objectively judge my performance as compared to other Unreal games I've played. Wolfenstein 3-D, for example,had such a scoring system.

I can't guarantee that everyone will like Unreal, but as for me I will play this game over, and over, and over again!

Doom will never look the same

Doom will never look the same, not after Unreal, the realest thing to hit the Mac. It's a first, it's fun like Marathon, It's cool like Quake, It's nice-lookin' like Quake II, and I cant beat it. And I can beat Quake in 6 hours using primary weapons on nightmare. The AI lashes out and pulls back faster than you can fire, no matter the weapons are all long range, but where'd that critter go? talking' to his big brothers? Where are they? Behind you.

This is an awesome game if you have the system. A voodoo or equivalent accelerator is a must. This allows the special effects to be implemented (i.e. lightening bolts, reflective surfaces etc.). You are missing half the game if you only use the software rendering. Also 64 - 128 meg of memory dramatically reduces or eliminates the disk caching during level play, which is really annoying as the action pauses while the level info is being loaded from the disk. I have 128 megs and there is no caching during level play and is very smooth.

The music is good, like a movie, it serves to enhance the experience without getting in your face too much. The sound effects are good, except for the one poor guy they seem too kill over and over again (only one voice for the tortured prisoner). Other than this small thing, the sound is very good.

A great game if you have the system. If you don't you will be disappointed (especially with software rendering, which is slow and no special effects).

unreal is an action packed game with 30 levels containing just as much beautiful landscape as deadly enimies.On top of the sceneary, there is a wonderful storyline that connects each level. Personally I think that if the Nali are so weak that they shouldn't rule Na Pali anyway.I've beat it about twenty times and each time I found a new secret about each level. Even though it eventually gets to be boring,It has a roller coaster-like ride that will make you hang on to your seat at the end. coarse' I wouldn't wat to spoil the ending for you.

Move Over Quake 2 (and 3)

Okay, I happen to be a mac owner and this game is unlike anything I have ever played before. The graphics are unreal. The weapons give a quality of uniqueness and power unlike any other game before. Why have a shotgun when you can shoot boiling hot shards of metal splatting your opponent's insides on the wall. This game isn't just a meaningless shooter, it carries traits of adventure games too. IE: Floating down a clear blue stream of trickeling water on a canoe admiring the waterfall's all while doing a drive-by (float-by) on some unexpecting Skaarj. Thats the stuff.

Unbelievable

Title says it all. Unreal is UNREAL, and I've been caged playing older generation games such as Quake and Duke Nukem 3D, since I haven't had an upgrade for my computer ina while. I have an N64, and games on that system are ok. But unreal is a true 3-D epic masterpeice mixed with run-n-gun oldskool familiar enjoyable game-play, and I really do enjoy playing it. It mixes a familiar most popular 3-D shooter genre with an amazing sense of adventure, and a awesome gameplay with great 3-D hardware acceleration use. The title says it all, pretty much. With my 3DFX Voodoo 2, 16mb video memory, I can play the game at a 800x600 resolution with all maxed out qual preferences 24-bit color along with MMX support and bilinear filtering and texture mapping plus alpha blending and awesome fogging intentisy techniques with bump-mapping support with SPETACULAR dynamic lightning effects and real-time realistic environments with an endless multiplayer universe and superior A.I, with a use friendly easy to use level editor, and true 3-D textures and smooth animation with transparent glass(breakable and dirty), water, and amazing sky effects and features, combined with non-stop action 39 heart-pounding punishing single player levels. WOW. And it came out in early 1998. With the latest 226f patch combining all the latest technical improvements and features, with full friendly technical support, it is truly unreal. And unreal also has a sequel, a expansion pack, another game based on it but is very popular massive fps named unreal tournament with a sequel and another sequel to it's sequel coming down the line by this fall, and many games that use it's holy to behold unreal engine, and this game for about a very cheap price, anyone will love thie xperience, and is a long and lasting enjoyable one as well.

Pretty good, has more story than most, tries new things

i didn't like this game when i first saw it at E3, but when i went back and played it, it turned out to be pretty good. Not too many boss monsters (i hate those things), some of the monsters are rather agile, the weapons are new, the graphics are extremely pretty (nice colors, great water), you can configure all sorts of things, there are some good guys to help you out (they show you hidden goodies) and the game makes a lot of effort to be stable. Hey, they even have a story and little logs you can read to get a feel for the story.

It's not as story-scripted as Half-Life (but then, it doesn't have the awful Xen world either), and many people prefer the realistic weapons of Quake to the unusual ones of Unreal. i like the built-in bots in multiplayer (i think this was the first game to ship with them), but i'm told the net play is really slow
