User Rating: 1.5 | Unreal II: The Awakening PC

The first Unreal was one of the better FPSes ever made, for me, due to its awesome single player element, and awesome weapons. But it also had bot matches available, with really cool maps to play on as well which greatly extended the replay ability exponentially.

Unreal 2, however sheds away the fun single player moments, breaks the weapons (no a single weapon in this game is interesting at all), and takes away multiplayer and/or any way to fight in bot matches. Further more, the developers thought it was a good idea to throw annoying and boring characters at you in attempts to make a more involved story... which the game utterly fails to do.

You travel to many different planets, and they are varied, which gets this game an additional .5 to the score, but there are too many invisible walls which makes this game too damn linear.

No reason to continue as just thinking about this game makes me want to pour bleach into my ears.

  Unreal II by another name would be a much better option.
