Unreal is one of the best game sieries on the planet. Unreal was great, Unreal Tournament was awesome, and Unreal 2 is going to be incredible. The graphics are taking full advantage of every high end graphics card on the market, and this makes the graphics incredible. Even though the game has incredible sounds and graphics, the system requirements are very low. The game runs well on a P2 450 mhz (or so they say). If you have a high end graphics card, a good clock speed on your CPU, and a good sound card and speakers, and like first person shooters, you should definietely get this game. The game is having a great story line and has awesome tactics and graphics. It also has high replay value, for the game has different difficulty levels, and rumor is that you may be able to play as different people.

The weapons will be alien and human, and you are fighting in a fun, realistic, futuristic environment. UNREAL 2 SHOULD BE A BLAST!!

This game I am more than exicited about!

Successor to the Original Unreal

Many fans of the Unreal series were drawn in by the excellent Unreal Tournament (UT) - surely the best ever First Person Shooter (FPS). However, UT itself was a progression from "Unreal". With UT having recently been updated to UT2003 the original Unreal is being updated to Unreal 2. And not before time! Unreal, in it's day was a major step forward in First Person Shooters but looks very dated now.

While UT was more recent that Unreal it is essentially a different type of game more oriented to multi-player sessions. This release, Unreal 2 will focus more on single person mission-based play. The underlying gaming engine in Unreal 2 is set to be more advanced than UT2K3 and will use the more recent functions developed in the graphics card sector.

This looks like a great game and is probably a must-have in terms of the importance of this release. However, one word of caution - watch out for the system requirements. My experience with UT and UT2003 has been that in order to play the game well you really need to be talking about a PC at the top end of what is available. Remember that the developers are putting this game in the market for the next few years not just for the next month so often they are pre-empting what systems are currently available. My advice would be to check this with one of the PC game magazines if you are not 100% confident of your PC. If you are confident then go ahead and get this.

Hope you enjoy it!

Uh, Why Are People Complaining?

As is stated below, UT 2k3 is coming out. So why post complaints about a single player game that hasn't even come out yet? This game goes back to what made Unreal a big name in gaming. So lay off, at least until you can actually play it...

UT was Unreal

First off, Unreal and Unreal Tournament are really two separate series. Unreal is a single player game, with a story based play. UT was multiplayer and nothing more. Personally, I prefer Unreal better.

Look out Halo!

... It's a sequel to the original Unreal. Although it will be about five times better. It has great graphics from the screenshots I've seen and it just looks overall awesome. I can't wait. Also, the name is NOT Unreal Episode 2. The official name is Unreal II: The Awakening.

an excellent title

I would definatly recommend anyone who liked unreal to buy this game. It looks like it will be even better. Certainly much better than UT2003. From what I have seen of U2 it looks like it will be a game with alot of atmosphere. This is somthing UT2003 lacks completly. If you buy U2 you will probably find your self coming back to it again and again (this if u dont fin it to scary :P)

I've played it...its not nearly as bad as everyone is saying. In fact the graphics weren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be. You guys all need to shut up about how bad this game is cause its really not half as bad as you guys are complaining about. Just cause this is an average game doesn't mean that you guys should bash it. If you like average PC shooters then this is definately the game for you. The graphics are not as good as playstation 2 or anything. I don't want to hear anymore BAD reviews about this game. I've played many many games that were worse then this.

Reminds me of a cheerleader, all looks and no substance

This game looks amazing, the weapons, the environments, everything in this game looks hands down better then anything else I've seen to date, but after you look past that you see that there isn't much else to it. The levels where you "command" marines are the only levels that are memorable in my opinion and after you spend 10 hours or so playing you realize that it's over and that's never a good sign when a game doesn't include any multiplayer or vs. the CPU modes. The story isn't enthralling and between each mission you have to waste time running around your ship prompting your shipmates for their predetermined dialog, cut scenes should have been used here considering it takes about 20 seconds or so to load up your ship and then another minute or 2 to get thru with your shipmates scripted dialog and then another 20 seconds to load up the next mission, unnecessary. The weapons aren't particularly good or bad with the exception of the pathetic assault rifle which, of course, is your main weapon. I hate not to recommend this game but I can't, it's simply too short with very little replayability and no multiplayer, if UT2k3 and this were combined into one game I'd give it 5 stars, but with the absence of multiplayer support and only 10 hours of gameplay, I can't recommend it no matter how pretty it is.
