Worth It Even if You Own Some/All already

I took this because it was cheaper than buying a second CD-Key for UT2004 by itself to play on multiple PCs on my home network online. Ultimately though, this is pretty much the final word in the best first person shooter collection you can get.
Unreal was one of the best Single Player FPS ever made, UT definitely the best online FPS yet (debatably up there is Q3 as well). Unreal 2 is fair but pretty, and UT2004, while not the awesome Deathmatch/CTF game as UT1, is still at this point the best and most fun vehicle combat FPS created yet.
Also, for long term Unreal Fans, having ALL the games together on one DVD is almost worth the $20.00 alone. Even though it's been 7 years since UT came out, I still play it along with 2k4 fairly regularly. You can't go wrong for all these games at this price.
UT1 and UT2k4 still have pretty decent size communities out there playing on public servers, so you should never have to to be concerned about finding an online game with either.
Comes with a CD of all the great music from UT and UT2004. I turned the music off in game years ago to make following sound queues in games easier, but hearing the awesome music again really brought back memories...particularly the great tracks from the original UT.

Nice.

Sadly, I was in a brick and mortar store and saw this for the first time and bought it there. Amazon is cheaper.
But, this is a great gaming value! And a great timesaver for installing. All 4 games are on 1 DVD and all install at once (if you want them all). There's also the additional disc that is a CD with all the music from the games on it (kinda lame, but consider it free).
I've been playing these games about as long as they've been out and have found them to be a lot of fun. While I do get bored with the single player Unreal games (Unreal and Unreal II), I have spent countless hours playing UT2K4 and original UT. Onslaught mode online rulez. For $30, this is a fantastic value. The value gets even better if the price is less. Enjoy!

Great value, but incomplete

Though I've played FPS games for years, I somehow missed the entire Unreal series (a crime, I know). The Anthology is PERFECT for first-time Unreal players: pop in the DVD, install the games, and you're set. The games themselves are timeless, so my review focuses on the Anthology's presentation and delivery.

Included is one DVD housed in a standard plastic DVD case. You also get a bonus CD featuring selected Unreal music from over the years. Game manuals are installed as PDF files. My installation was flawless and the games were easily launched from their respective folders.

But like many PC game compilations, key elements are missing, though most can be downloaded for free. UTII's XMP Multiplayer addition is conspicuously absent. Several maps and 14 user-created mods included with UT2004 Editor's Choice are left off. The high-res texture pack for the original Unreal, which I can't find online, was also excluded.

Despite the hassle of searching for and downloading the abovementioned "essential" files, the Anthology is still a great buy. Frag on!

Super Value - Great, Great Games

Great collection of games. Every single one of them is just fun to play, different enough from another that they stand out, but all are classic UT fun. Be Advised though. If you have a duel core or duel processor computer, all but UT2004 will run like crap until you limit it to using just one CPU using Task Manager.

Dare I say: "This deal is Unreal"

Excuse the Cheesy title but someone had to say it. For $20, or apparently on Amazon it is only $9.99, you can get yourself all of the greatest shooter games ever created with the words Unreal in the title. Unreal is a blast from the past and very entertaining to go down memory lane with. Even the ambience from the beginning of the game when escaping the ship is amazing for it's time.

Unreal Tournament sucked up a large chunk of my early life and I owe it thanks for it. The game has amazingly addicting gameplay with one of the greatest soundtracks ever created for a shooter even to this day. The game features so many modes and updates that you can stay entertained for hours on end. Even some mini mods like staying alive during monster swarms are a nice break from the norm. This game is amazing and the engine is extremely powerful for modding.

Unreal II is a welcomed edition to the series. At the time it introduced so much to the industry with it's gorgeous visuals and flexable engine. This is definitly a welcomed edition to the pack.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is a step away from the feel of the original, but not without it's perks. The vehicle gameplay is outstanding and is in itself like have two games. You can do classic deathmatch or bring in vehicles for a totally different experience. The perfect part about the pack is if you miss the original feeling of oldschool UT action you can just switch back to the original game. The engine is also perfect for modding which tons of dev teams have taken advantage of by making free add ons to UT2k4.

EXTRA PERKS: I am a laptop gamer. I love not having a full desktop in front of me which is another reason I love Unreal. No unreal, be it UT, Unreal, unreal 2, UT2k4, and now UT3 has ever needed a CD to play. You click the icon and litterally click the box art for whatever you play. Its a nice feeling

Second perk is a music CD that comes free with the game with some outstanding tracks on it. Any true modder into game development already has the tools to get all the songs off the game files anyway though ;). You know who you are!

Stop reading this dribble and buy the game for crying out loud.

Awesome 5 pack!

The 4 games in this pack are classics.

Unreal - original single player game. Really good game, with good story. The expansion comes with it.

Unreal 2 - the sequel to one of the best single player FPS made. Story isnt that good.

Unreal Tournament - Unreal Tournament is the first online FPS in history. You can not go wrong playing this.

Unreal Tournament 2004 - Awesome game. This game is the youngest prequel to Unreal Tournament 3. It is also Epic's first attempt on vehicles in an FPS and does it better then anyone else has.

The 2nd disc is something special. A History of Unreal Music. This disc is a compilation album of 23 songs from Unreal, Unreal's expansion pack, Unreal Tournament, and Unreal Tournament 2004.

nice deal

this is a good deal you get 4 games for a cheap price . i agree after playing unreal-2004 and unreal 2. you really woudnt want to try the other 2 games due to their outdated graphics. but then unreal 2004 is a lovely game for which alone i feel the price is a good deal.
i really wanted the unreal2004 for its online play. so i went for this package and its totally worth it.

Sin el fallido UT2003, esta collecion de juegos Unreal es la mejor hasta ahora, y mas aun con todos estos 4 titulos en un solo DVD y claro un pekeño CD de la banda sonora de algunos de ellos.

No need for all four.

This is a great game for under $15. There is no reason to play anything but unreal tournament 2, but it's still a great price just for that, especially if your pc can't run the newest unreal tournament. The two non-tournament games are border line terrible, compared to other single-player FPSs. And there's no reason to play unreal tournament 1 after you've played 2. But just 2 is still worth it.
