*LOOKS GREAT! SOUNDS OKAY. PLAYS AVERAGE...* A pleasant but not so exciting shooter.

As a single player experience, Unreal II is not up to par with its predecessor which was terribly involving. Graphically, it is definitely a great achievement for a game of this generation. But neither the story nor the gameplay succeed in making you feel involved. Anyway, the qualities of the game are sufficient to let you play it for a while, until you finally get as bored as the in-game characters seem to be themselves.

Check your bargain bin and give Unreal II a try. If your expectations are not too high, you will certainly enjoy it for casual gaming. The story won't keep you awake all night long, but the smooth gameplay and very nice sceneries will entertain you, until the point where the level of dullness surpass the pleasure's level.

Also, all along the game I had the sensation of moving too slowly. I mean, when you are running, you actually have the feeling of walking. Doesn't add much to the excitement...
