 Tim Sweeney changes the face of FPS gaming forever.... October 4, 2008
OverTheMoon (overthemoonreview@hotmail.com)
A decade ago, in 1998, Unreal was released and became a major gaming hit that revolutionized fps, along with practically reinventing the game engine (the unreal engine is a very important core gaming tool behind many modern fps today). The concept is a reality thanks to Tim Sweeney spending 3 years in his garage. At the time this was the reason to buy a graphics cards like a Voodoo or a TNT and run it on your Windows 95 system. For those of you who could barely run it, well now is the time to give it a go again because modern cards can run this game with ease and the game is worth it.
I finished playing this again on a high end system and am very happy that I did. It really is a deep game, lots of levels, lots of running around, lots of shooting, mindless blasting, pressing levers, going through levels that have some maze qualities, running across the same bad guys with some variations, the textures, AI and level design is surprisingly still able to deliver on a satisfactory game play. I would even go as far to say that this beats a lot of fps games that have since been released. It is an all-time great so for those of you gamers out there who remember the end of the 90s and remember what it was like to play fps games that people would line up around the block to buy, then get it, play it and cherish it.
As a note, you can get this as part of a pack, so do shop around, you may be surprised what sort of collectors editions you can get.
Great classic August 31, 2008

Where should I begin praising the PERFECT GAME?
Graphically, it may seem dated today yet it was cutting edge at its time. I remember getting the original game, almost 10 years ago, bundled with an nVidia graphix-card - and could not believe my eyes! Beautifully rendered surfaces, exceptional environments and an UNBELIEVABLE sky.
The original UNREAL could easily double as a lecture on game design sound. Majestic background music, mood setting themes and effective environmental additions make this THE PERFECT GAME in that aspect too.
The weapons are well designed, there are in-game upgrades for them and all have two different modes of firing! Walk and there is (adjustable) bobbing. Jump and you better had measured the distance or land in water - otherwise you get torn to pieces.
The game is pretty much linear, yet shortcuts or back-doors are available at numerous points - so exploring is encouraged. Simple puzzles add to the game's appeal (push a lever to drop the ladder here or turn the power on to activate the elevator there) - and usually reward with a weapon powerup.
Something lacking in many shooters even today is UNREAL's balance and fairness: you could take an enemy down with a single sniper headshot - but so could they. UNREAL was the first game that WHERE you landed your shot started to count on the damage it did. EPIC had done a MONUMENTAL JOB!
What separated this game from the rest though were mainly two things: its unsurpassed atmosphere and its immersive story.
From the very first moment you wake up on the prison ship that was carrying you but crashed on an alien planet, you are gripped by fear and apprehension. You get only fleeing glimpses of the aliens - yet find ample evidence of their cruel handiwork on the ship's crew.
The first weapon you get is quite weak so you actually believe to be wandering out of the ship an into a world unknown with a puny phase gun. As the game progresses you are rewarded with both confidence and very impressive and innovative weapons. Who can forget the spinning blade-gun, blades bouncing around and shooting around corners but also yourself if not careful!
On top of everything else, the game is HUGE! The content of the original UNREAL alone would have been released in at least 3 installments today... Not to mention its (included for free!) multiplayer that spawned the UNREAL TOURNAMENT series.
They just don't make them like this anymore...
WITH THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS !!!
