Unreal II: The Awakening Reviews
Enter Unreal II. The grenade launcher looks like the shotgun looks like the flame thrower (etc). I loved Unreal. To kill, right.
Half Life 2 was a great positive step up. So now I have an Xbox. But soon yo figure out the subtle differences. I have beat the game muliple times and we play huge deathmatches as well. Plus, I have found that the weapons (at first) all look alike. i mean, why do you play. It takes too long to load and there is a lot of extra cut scene mumbo jumbo that just wastes time. I am glad I did not pay full price.
I find it sluggish and buggy. I have played both Halo and Halo2. Halo is now the standard. I bought it for the PC about the same time I played Half-Life. Face it. The character build up is pointless, and the voiceover of John, our hereo, sounds more like a pharmacist that a space warrior. The graphics are pretty good, but they all are these days.
But hey, I only paid a few bucks for it at gamespot. Unreal seems like a step backwards. Both game's graphics and storyline were unbeatable at the time, only to be beaten by Halo. Halo is the standard and this is now what you have to measure up to.
If you played the first Unreal on the PC and liked it (you better have.lol) then you will love this one. Co-Op for me is like the greatest thing other than the online multiplayer. Now I have gotten it on the Xbox and I love it.PLUS IT HAS CO-OP. Sure it isn't exactly from the first one's universe but there are many things that will remind you of it. That one took forever (but in a good way). I have been playing the Unreal series since I was about 6 years old and I remember buying this game with my dad and we had played it for hours. One of the greatest battles was the Boss that was like a huge spider with tiny spiders everywhere. Very fun and I hope to see you online.
It would get a better score if the fact that it is a port wasn't so glaringly obvious. For 360 owners, this title is NOT backwards compatable. This is very clearly a port, and as such the graphics did indeed take a hit. That being said, this doesn't affect gameplay whatsoever. I would recommend this title for around $10.00. I've read a lot of negative reviews on this site for this product, and feel I need to address a few things in fairness. This game was designed for (at the time) high-end PCs. The dialogue in the cut-scenes was originally meant to be optional depending on who you spoke to in the removed "free-roaming" mode, and what you said to them.
The variety in environments is nice, and the difficulty felt appropriate to the situations. If you played "Mace Griffin" or any of the "007" titles, you have a good idea what to expect. None of the missions were boring, and some showed a real spark of creativity. It makes the conversations feel very awkward and long.
Some games of this type can be very frustrating for people that are not hard core gamers. Great game for the casual gamer. Good graphics, lots of great weapons and not too hard. This game is great because it's a blast to kick but.
I played this game for 3 minutes and it didnt take me long to realize how horrible this game was. The first enemy I incountered I shot down and it had two frames of animation. Doom 3D had better graphics and animation than this steaming pile. I use the word game only becuase it is only playable by a gaming system. Stay away from this game. There is nothing about this game that merrites a $40 price tag. This is just one of the horrible games that came into existince since the first Halo came out.
