Unreal Gold

Summary: Halo fans, thought it couldn't get any better?
Review: I've been playing Unreal Gold for the past couple years. Not only has it grown onto me, but for those who appriciate a godo game, here's my favorite details:

Excelent music which you'll never forget, amazing worlds of all kinds, ranging from huge spacecraftst to peaceful villages, and enough weapons to live in trigger happy heaven. Interesting concepts, challenging missions, completely unreal animals and races, tons of surprises, terrifying at times and rediculously fun at others. Useing a translator you can read the journals of those who did not survive along the journey, and signals or messages. There are available simple cheats which can be fun at times. There's always fun in a little god mode and weapon summoning right?

In my opinion, I'm fascinated by this game. It has an overall great atmosphere, although not the greatest plot it's still appealing. You suffer no save points, no bosses at the end of every level, no telling you you can't go somewhere or do something - this game just lets you play. This is my favorite of all the Unreal series. It'll grow onto you like the video game classics. (By the way I can't emphasize how cool the soundtrack is!)

Summary: OH MY GOD!!
Review: seriously guys... this is the BEST- i mean- BEST game you can buy. The graphics and AI of the enemies are incredible. The way water (there are countless types (everything from murky to clear) reflects off walls and torches glow, the sounds, the sky is breath taking. (if you could see the cliff in level two you'd understand) everything is simply amazing. I couldnt get enough of it. The story line is simple, but good enough, and you move through TONS of different environments including castles on cliffs, underground, villages, outer-space, canyons, broken-down and spaceships. Another added touch mentioned over again is the complexity of the enemies. They dont all die or act the same. It depends where you shoot them and there are tons and tons of variations of how the bad guys act.

Many people think Unreal Tournament is better, it is good, but cant be compared because the games are so different. Tournament is a multiplayer-type game. Unreal is a run through levels to get out type game. They are both excellent.

Back to Unreal, I had heard about this game from some gaming magazine before it had come out and it talked about how it was going to be the BEST game ever dealing with graphics and such. I had it set on defaults so it would run smoothest and it still was truly the most amazing thing i had ever seen on a computer screen. Adding the special graphics not set in defaults made it even better. I seriously could not get enough. It has absolutely awesome guns (flak cannon rules) and some really wicked bad guys that are actually hard to kill (dodge bullets, run to get friends) and can think, unlike most games (doom, duke nukem)

There is only one downfall, that may not even be a downfall. It is in first-person view-you only see the gun. I absolutely love Tomb Raider based soley on the fact that it is in third-person. As a result, you cant climb on stuff ect. I would never play tomb raider if Unreal was in thrid-person.

That aside, it really was amazing. All i can say is buy it at any cost. I got it right away when it came out for 40.. it is now 10 i think.. pocket change. Get it.. you will not look at anyother game the same again.. i guarentee it.

Summary: The "golden" collection of a great shooter.
Review: Sure it's a violent shooter game. So what? It's still fun, and isn't that all that matters? Unreal Gold collects together the original Unreal series: the original game, the expansion pack "Return to Nai Pali", and a bonus feature on the semi-sequel, Unreal Tournament. The original game is absolutely astounding. Set in a distant future, you are a prisoner on board the prison ship Vortex Rikers, en route to a prison colony. Along the way, something happens and your ship crashes onto a distant planet. As you make your way through the game, the plot begins to take shape. Apparently, sometime ago the peaceful Nali, the original inhabitants of this planet, were enslaved by the glactic thug species known as the Skaarj. Nai Pali is the planet version of the Bermuda Triangle, as many other ships have crashed here besides your own. Escape becomes your goal, as the Skaarj posess the only shuttles that can escape the planet's gravity. The graphics are simply mind-blowing, so I recommend a 3DFX graphics card, like the Voodoo 2 or better. The gameplay is intense, so be sure you have a good processor for this. It was released a few years ago, but if you have a recent computer you won't have any troubles. Another plus to this collection is that if you bought the two games seperately, it would cost double what you pay for the collection, and who doesn't like saving money? In short: if you like hardcore action gaming, Unreal Gold will not dissapoint.

Summary: It ain't no "Unreal Tournament"--it is an "almost"
Review: The main difficulty I have with Unreal Gold is certainly not the low price, but the low graphics. See, I have to run it in Software Mode. Sure I "only" have a two year old Pentium II DELL R350, with 128 SDRAM and an S3 Graphics card with 32 meg, but this game should have a patch for this game to run in something other than software mode. My suggestion: Stick with Unreal Tournament--an awesome single or multiplayer game and avoid this Unreal Gold--which ain't real gold, only fool's gold.

Summary: The Best PC Game Ever!
Review: This game is awesome.Unreal will almost make you believe that it is Unreal.The story starts when your prsoner ship, Vortex Rikers, crashes on an undiscovered planet called Na Pali.At first your goal is to escape.But then,you must help save the Nali from enslavement and there aggressors,the Skaarj.You progress the planet looking for a craft.When the adventure concludes,you must defeat the Nali's missile launching Demonlord,Daimon,at Nali Castle.Then you progress to the Mothership to assassinate the Skaarj Queen and use her private escape pod to flee the planet.

Return to Na Pali was pathetic.Your escape pod is recruited by the crew of Bogeda Bay, another spaceship.You are forced to find a crashed ship and recover the elusive weapon logs from the wreckage.When you call for backup, they send in Marines to kill you because you are a security risk to the weapon project.You elude your killers and must progress the planet once more to find a nearby Marine post,and their space shuttle because it is your only escape.In the end,you get awaywith the logs,and Bogeda Bay is destroyed by one of their own missiles.

Altogether a great game...
