A solid shooter, but its does have its problems.
You play a soldier named John, that was removed from the marines, because, of somethings that he did in his past. But now, you are in charge of finding these artifacts that have some sort of power. You go to a bunch of different planets, and fight a bunch of aliens and humans to try and recover these artifacts.
The game play is like most shooters. You run and shoot. But this game can be really hard at times, with some of the bigger enemies, so you will have to use a lot of skill. Luckily, you have a load of weapons to take them out. You have you assault rifle and shot gun, but all of those have a secondary fire, not to mention that all the weapons are powerful, and use ful even in the harder levels. Some of the cooler weapons are this weapon that fire out a bunch of spider, to get the enemy to stop shooter, and run around. There is also this weapon that takes live ammo, a shoots out a blast of energy.
The graphics in this game are awesome, for its time, but even now they look good. The character models look good, and the environments look really good.
The sound is good. Some of the voice acting is good, and a bit funny, but some of the voices are bad sounding. The weapons sound pretty good when they fire, but they could of sound better.
The game lasts about 8 hours. There is not a lot of replay value, but a few mission are worth going back and playing. The thing that brings this game down to the ground is that there is no multi player. I think you might be able to download a multi player, but I'm not sure. So this game does not have a lot of value to it. But it is still fun while it lasts.
If you like single player FPS's then you have to give Unreal 2 a try.
