I have waited decades to play this game. For one reason or another, I always left it for later. Honestly, I'm glad I played it. Graphically, the game is one of the best of its time—remember, it's 2003, the first game to use Unreal Engine 2. But still, some studios were bringing too much to the table. These years were the strongest in graphics evolution ever. The sheer scale this game brings is the best I had seen...

THIS GAME IS AMAZING! great story arch. fun diverse levels. It is very challenging on normal. I cant imagine trying to beat this on hard mode! I just finished the story and WOW!!! I will not be able to stop thinking about this for quite a while.

It should be a neutral rating. The game resembles a minimalistic version of Mass Effect without the RPG elements. The shooting part is decent for 2003, the weapon variety is great, but the player's movement is incredibly slow. The reason I would not recommend it is because the last third of the game is way worse than the first two. It feels rushed, and the ending sucks. No wonder Legend Entertainment was shut down...

This isn't a recommendation for general gamers. If you're really into first-person shooters, sci-fi or the history of gaming then this is definitely worth your time, but there's a reason why nobody talks about Unreal 2 today - it was a let down. During development, Unreal 2 looked like it would become the ultimate shooter of the early 2000s, matching Half-Life's record in setting a radical new benchmark for the...

How to properly play this game before you start. Access console using ~ Type BeMyMonkey Type setspeed 2 Now you no longer have a stupidly slow walk speed and you can enjoy an Unreal game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Fast.

Epic took down every master server for every UT game and delisted all Unreal games from all stores. Games that HAD SINGLEPLAYER MODES and AI that rivals ACTUAL PLAYERS. They single-handedly MURDERED and BURIED the series that PUT THEM ON THE MAP! ♥♥♥♥ EPIC GAMES! There is a sort of silver lining, tho: By doing what they did, they essentially made the Unreal series ABANDONWARE! And abandonware software, as far as I...
