I am a very avid PC gamer, and i know good games when i see one. this was an ok game, granted i've only played the demo. i have a P4 hypethread, ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, 3.0 Gigz processor, and the gameplay was still a little choppy. that may be that i have lots of other games on my hard drive. i think that the first unreal is better than unreal 2. first, download the demo, then see if u like it and then go buy it.

The game "Unreal II- The Awakening" shows amazing potential for a GOTY title. The Unreal franchise released this just about 3-4 months after the release of Unreal TOurnament 2003. This game's story line is an epic story of teamwork and killing evil aliens. As of right now I just recently started playing again. I am on the first level which is full of amazing monsters and weird sounds. In the game they bring up the names of Liandri, the city in UT 1. It later mentions even more Unreal related areas. The Original Unreal was a great game to waste time. This game is a game that you will need a very good video card and an amazing sound card. If you need to rain during the game, there is a tutorial on some weapons and basic movements at the beginning.

Unreal II, being a beautiful game, has only one charm, I'm afraid; nearly flawless graphics. It is indeed fun to look at, with its curved surfaces and micro-mipped textures, but I felt like the game was intended for little kids... However, the language in the game suggested otherwise. I say this because the dialogue the characters have are wholey uninspired and unrealistic, the characters look dopey and disproportioned (The only exception being Aina, the second in command, but she has her own set of disproportions I won't complain about) and everything plays out not unlike a cartoon (The scientists run like they're constipated). I was expected some balance between puzzles, gunplay, and stealth; the standards of FPS' today, really. All Unreal II is is a short blast-the-hell-out-of-everything-and-enter-the-obvious- door-for-the-next-fight game. Sure, that can be fun, but it gets old just mindlessly plowing through enemies in the game, especially when your guns lack finesse and are all clumsy-lookin', and your enemies run into your gunfire to fight you; there's no intelligence behind how you battle. There's no advantages to doing anything but charge into gunfire, and that aspect ruined the game for me. So, if you're looking for a very pretty, yet very short boring experience, buy Unreal II.

This game is sooo cool,the graphics are really good and the gameplay is too.For me alot of times FPS games on the computer are hard to control,but this game its not.Go buy this game,its sweet !!!
