Summary: An inspiring, inventive fantasy
Review: I have been playing PC games for one year (exactly the same amount of time I have had a computer lol)In that time I have played these games: Abe's Oddysee, Unreal, UT, Quakes 2 & 3, Halflife, Darkstone, Wheel Of Time, Aliens Vs Predator, and Nocturne. Out of these "Unreal" is hands down the best game that has ever graced my computer. Even competing with games that are more recent, I have never before or since seen visuals that one literally gasps at. The water-world is beautiful. The pools and fountains so gorgeous I could have died to enter this world and actually dive into it. The sountrack is equally compelling. The scale of the world is enourmous, totally stunning. You feel a fleeting sense of loss as you enter each new world, only to be replaced by more wonder. This game comes closer than any other game I have played to resembling a film or a book. There is a defined mission, you want to exit this world, for despite it's wonders it has been cursed with a cruel alien presense. The scenery is uparallelled, it is almost photo-realistic in places. Movement is fluent and unrestrained, you are able to walk, run, swim, jump and crawl through the various levels. Unreal is totally immersive. A brief synopsis of just a few of the levels (or worlds, each having been designed by a different person, each has it's own distinct mood) Some are within spaceships, both hostile and friendly. Some in dark castles surrounded by craggy rock. Some of the world are Nali villiages (Unreal portrays scenery like no other game) and some in the water demon's kingdom. I must make special mention of "Sunspire" which is the most indredible adventure you will ever take, complete with amazing mirrors and reflective surfaces, and huge lift-wells which reach literally to the skys. When you complete this level you are on top of the world, as you await the most charming of entries into the next world. Throughout the game you will be helped by the indigenous population. The Nali will steal your heart. Several times I replayed a scene because I couldn't bear to go on knowing even a single Nali was killed in battle. The scope of this game is dizzying, the graphics mindblowing. If you are imaginative and can totally supspend your sense of reality I think you will find this a rare treat. Some people here felt let down by the ending, which I can understand. But at least a cliffhanger leaves a promise of more to come! Now to wait until Unreal II hits the shelves! (Not to be confused with UT, a seperate game)

Summary: Good game, but requires enourmous RAM and FAST processor
Review: I have the MAC version of this game and it's fun but difficult to run because I don't have 128 megs of RAM and I don't have a G3 cpu. My system is pretty good but not state of the art--which is what is needed to play this game well. It takes forever to load.

Summary: Awsome game
Review: I played unreal when I was 9 and beat it in a week.
The game is just plain awsome. Unfortenutly that was 7 years ago and I doubt this will work on XP but when Im at his house I always play this amazing game. The begining is friggin scary when youre in the abandon space ship and all you hear are the lives of the sapce crew screaming and beging for there lives.
Later you soon find out that they are being torn apart by these disturbing creatures or aliens I might say. More games should be like this.
The only game to be like this would probably be The suffering cause you here the voices of the CO's getting torn apart by weird disturbing creatures. Maybe not the only game but there a little few games that are like UNreal.
The begining parts were the best for me. The scream the horror. I think this is suppose to be a survival horror game. I donno but Get this game but I think they dont make this game any more? Any ways get this and UNREAL TURNEMENT. AWSOME GAMES!

Summary: Unreal is Unreal
Review: I recently purchased Unreal for 15 bucks. When I first got it, the game play was dissapointing due to my lack of a good video card, but after installing a Voodoo 3 3000, it plays wonderfully. The graphics are superb, the enemies are wickedly smart, and the online playing is great! It took me 2 months to beat this game on medium, and I've just started on the Unreal setting, which seems to be impossible. Luckily there are commands and cheats aplenty to help you along. Overall, this is an excellent game, and a real steal. If you're looking for a good FPS, dont pass up Unreal. One shortcoming though....the ending is kind of lame.

Summary: Even better than Quake II
Review: In my humble oppinion this game is better the Quake II. The graphics is better, and the sound is so much better. If you have a Sound Blaster Live! card, then get this game, because it was designed to run on this card.

Summary: Gorgeous but marred by shallow gameplay
Review: It still amazes me how good this game -- now over two and a half years old -- looks. Sure, the top of the line PC stuff is definitely prettier now, mainly due to higher polygon counts. But we have yet to achieve a quantum leap in graphics quality equivalent to what "Unreal" and "Quake 2" accomplished in late '97/early '98 (just compare "Unreal" to the previous year's "Jedi Knight" to see what I mean). To this day the game's textures are flat-out gorgeous, particularly the ones on the "Vortex Rikers," "Terraniux" and "Dark Arena" levels. That said, the gameplay is pretty weak. I came to "Unreal" after having played "Half-Life" -- still the penultimate single-player first-person-shooter (FPS) experience -- and "Unreal" didn't even come close. I could barely be bothered to play halfway through the game. Only the lure of new graphics ahead kept me playing, but I never finished it. While "Half-Life" keeps you intrigued with lots of in-game scripted moments, a plot containing at least a few twists, and a series of unforgettable sequences that leave you shaking your head saying "That was so cool," "Unreal" just throws endless levels at you. And buttons to push, and levers to throw, and doors to open. Sure, the enemy AI is pretty good (for its time -- "Half Life" put that to shame as well), but the number of different monster-types is pretty low, and there's no context for any of it after the first few levels. The action isn't intense enough to hold interest by itself. To borrow an apt phrase, there's no "there" there. Still, the atmosphere is amazing, and more than enough to justify buying "Unreal" given its now-low price. Some of the moments are simply breathtaking -- first emerging from the crashed ship into Nyleve's Falls; walking around the outside of the Coliseum in "Dark Arena"; and above all the approach to Terraniux, when the setting suns backlight the huge looming spaceship that dominates the landscape. There is also some fine architecture -- "Dark Arena" and "Sunspire" spring readily to mind -- but remember there is a difference between designing a cool building and creating a really great game level. The music is great too, although sadly not in Redbook format, so you can't just play the tunes off the CD. Bottom line: if you haven't bought "Unreal," and your system has the appropriate specs, pick it up. It's a piece of gaming history and still pretty darn gorgeous. But don't expect a seminal gaming experience. Expect instead a sublime "it-might-have-been."
