It ain't no "Unreal Tournament"--it is an "almost"

The main difficulty I have with Unreal Gold is certainly not the low price, but the low graphics. See, I have to run it in Software Mode. Sure I "only" have a two year old Pentium II DELL R350, with 128 SDRAM and an S3 Graphics card with 32 meg, but this game should have a patch for this game to run in something other than software mode. My suggestion: Stick with Unreal Tournament--an awesome single or multiplayer game and avoid this Unreal Gold--which ain't real gold, only fool's gold.

don't bother with this game

The game is old and pales in comparison with games out right now. Unless you're into classics, don't buy this game.

Well, I got the game and I was able to play untill one day the game ran scratchy and I had to uninstall it, but wouldn't load back up. The stupid file called "QueenEnd.unr"(I know alot about computers),always said "The source media may be bad" So I'm looking foward to reordering the game, in the meantime, I'll wait for my Unreal Action Figures to come in the mail.

Unreal is a first person shooter with an great single player gameplay and built on an eye candy engine. The story you are a prisoner and you are transported in a spaceship. The ship crashes on a strange unreal planet which looks medieval and futuristic. The inhabittens of the planet the nalis are attacked by the skaarj warriors, The skaarj are very advanced in technology than the nalis. You have to battle the skaarj, Get help from the nalis and escape from the island. The Level design is fantastic but quite difficult expecially the boss levels because of weak weapons. Levels are very beautifully and very well done, The second level when you walk out of the spaceship and take your first look at the strange world is very creatively and very well done. Unreal is built on a very beautifull engine and many games use that engine for their games. The main menu and the advanced menu is very good and very easy to use. I played unreal on the Direct3D video mode and it runs very smooth. The graphics are fantastic, They look great even today. Beautifull sky with birds flying, Water that ripples and fishes swimming in it. For almost every level you could see new types of water, skies and textures. The AI is very good though far from perfect it is much better. On the downside i found the weapons very dull and boring, They should have been more powerfull and more creativily done. Unreal is one of the most beautifull game i have ever played, It is a great game for action game lovers.

It not Half-Life, but it's good

Graphically stunning, but not quite up to Half-Life for gameplay. I very much enjoy the multiplayer aspects of the game, a lot more than the single player. If you're a die-hard FPS player, go for it. If you want to blow up your friends on line, get Unreal Tournament. If you don't care for FPSs, why are you reading this?

Unreal is Forever (even if it looks a bit aged)

Well, first let me tell you that I am a major FPS gamer. Half-Life, Unreal, UT, all that good stuff. So when I bought Unreal I was expecting a lot, and I got just a little bit disappointed. But first let me tell you that the game looks great: it looks and runs better than Half-Life, has a great engine, and for 1998 is impressive as hell. The AI is great. The weapons are just right. And the levels (espically second) are pretty good. But then again, having played 'modern' (1999-2001) FPS I was kind of disappointed at the lack of features I take for granite. Like a weapons system that goes both ways, just not one. Having to change items and crap. And the level architexture (espically in the third and part of the second [which is the best looking level]) really sucks. I hate the big, bulky levers. The lack of any speech. And the second enemies... So what I am really saying is that the beginning of the game is kinda slow, but it gets better. If you love UT get this game. It's great.

One of the greatest adventure\ action games

The sound\grapics and the big seenary whit a skin crawling music\sound, makes this game very entertainment to play.

The "golden" collection of a great shooter.

Sure it's a violent shooter game. So what? It's still fun, and isn't that all that matters? Unreal Gold collects together the original Unreal series: the original game, the expansion pack "Return to Nai Pali", and a bonus feature on the semi-sequel, Unreal Tournament. The original game is absolutely astounding. Set in a distant future, you are a prisoner on board the prison ship Vortex Rikers, en route to a prison colony. Along the way, something happens and your ship crashes onto a distant planet. As you make your way through the game, the plot begins to take shape. Apparently, sometime ago the peaceful Nali, the original inhabitants of this planet, were enslaved by the glactic thug species known as the Skaarj. Nai Pali is the planet version of the Bermuda Triangle, as many other ships have crashed here besides your own. Escape becomes your goal, as the Skaarj posess the only shuttles that can escape the planet's gravity. The graphics are simply mind-blowing, so I recommend a 3DFX graphics card, like the Voodoo 2 or better. The gameplay is intense, so be sure you have a good processor for this. It was released a few years ago, but if you have a recent computer you won't have any troubles. Another plus to this collection is that if you bought the two games seperately, it would cost double what you pay for the collection, and who doesn't like saving money? In short: if you like hardcore action gaming, Unreal Gold will not dissapoint.
