Unreal2

I just completed Unreal 2 – The Awakening.

OK the graphics were gorgeous, but I must say I was expecting a bit more than this. The game was too short! Even the expansion pack for Unreal 1, Return to Na Pali was larger than this!

The story, game play & movie-like atmosphere of Unreal 1 were superior to Unreal 2. I also liked the level design and music of the 1st game better.

The worst thing about Unreal 2 though, was the fact that it takes way too long for the weapons to reload! I found my self many times in the middle of an intense battle, waiting for almost 3 seconds for the game to reload then next round of bullets!

The coolest levels were Na Koja Abad and The Dorian Gray spaceship.

That Drakk Hive Planet was such a Matrix rip off!

I also noticed that some graphics shown in the preview pics that were released 2 years ago, when the game was still in development, are missing from the final game.

Some examples are the Shian Warriors, an asteroid belt around a star and a level with some flying snake type of creatures.

I hope Doom 3 will be as good as Doom I & II were and Duke Nuked Forever as good as Duke 3D.

We’ll see…
