Unreal 2 in stores!

**CRAYMAN** · 02-11-2004

OK, I saw it today in the stores.
Who's picked it up?

First impressions?

How's the single player campaign?

Do I need to get it?

IGN has their review up on the front page. They basically bashed it, but in their ever-so-loving way. 7.8, I believe they gave it.

As I expected. I'm just not excited about this game at all.

I love you guys.

You're the best!

Thanks.

With other better fps out i dont think this game is needed;unless they made big changes with it

**Brutus** · 02-11-2004

I'll still get it because there just ain't enough FPS's on the Console, even though we have Eleventy Billion of them. This game is promising if you love FPS's.
And it looks really pretty, too! :-)
I'll have fun shooting things for a while in a new setting, ya know?
Isn't there vehicles this time around too? Please confirm.

**mattgame** · 02-11-2004

I'm gonna get it because I need a fix since that other game has been pushed back. Vehicles? Yes. Supposedly, but I'll know for sure after I get it today. I'll hit you back.

the game was average with awesome graphics. Thats the problem with console players-they think good prerelease screenshots mean that the game will rock.

This is funny!!! = "Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?"

please define what 'one mode' is.

"XMP is the name of the multiplayer component in Unreal II, and predictably ends up being the strength of the game. Teamwork, base management and vehicle deployment are the name of this game that can only be played over Xbox Live. You have three different classes of soldier you can use each with unique equipment and special abilities that are well balanced enough that you'll need plenty of people who are good at using all of them. Building temporary forcefields, maintaining generators to keep your team powered and managing spawn points and other battlefield valuables make XMP sophisticated enough for hardcore gamers but still rowdy and exciting enough for more casual players. The only thing that holds this game mode back is the number of players (8) and the number of maps (4) initially available. More maps should be on the way through Xbox Live download but adding more players or even bots probably isn't going to happen. The mode just isn't nearly as fully featured as some other Xbox Live shooters, but what it does offer is well done and a lot of fun. Running around in jeeps and tanks that can carry multiple players will appeal to Xbox gamers who also enjoyed the Tribes series on PC. "

I know of several PC gamers that do the same thing. So, what exactly is your point?

Been playing it all day. Fun game but very unlike Unreal Championship as far as being a fast paced game. Operating the vehicles just sucks in my opinion. You use the left thumbstick to control not only the forward and reverse of the vehicle but also the right and left too but it's not just that but the control is very sluggish. Kinda hard to get used to it but I am getting better. Graphics are very nice. Story has improved a lot as well that actually has kept me interested in the story line which is not like me to like at all. As expected, very few players are on line now but I'm sure more will come as more people buy it. I'm enjoying it so far and got it at Game Stop today for $39.99 and so far I like it but again, it is very different from previous versions of Unreal.

I just purchased this game a couple hours ago, and so far what I've played of it, I think it's awesome. I have a few gripes about the controls(Aiming diagonally goes EXTREMELY slow) but that's about it. The player model graphics are pretty good, but the player model textures are mediocre at best. Every other aspect of the graphics are amazingly good, though. I've only played about 30 mins so far, but I have all next week off school, so Live is going to be great
