(Post a comment) » Unreal 2 ReviewCompletely immune to the game review philosophy that big-name games automatically deserve lenient scores, Tom Chick has seen fit to tackle the mighty Unreal II and bring the giant down to Earth. You know what they say: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Yet Tom himself seems to not returned unscathed, pained as he is by the sight of Wheel of Time developers Legend Entertainment stumbling.

unreal 2 for the box was a giant letdown!!!! the game sucks!!! And
i hope they do some house cleaning when it comes to the idea team
over their....The game was CRAP. i bought it on the 11th ansd
traded it in by 4pm same day........ For beeing one of the most
waited for games it was a surpeme let down....
The lak of DM,TDM,BR,and a REAL CTF really hurt the game in my
eyes.. unreal is DEATH GORE and FAST action....picking a respawn and
waiting 30 sec to get back in is not hw it should have been done

I wish I've read this review before wasting $40 on this game. This
is easily the biggest disappintment of the last few years. I was
amazed by how bad this was. I played the whole thing hoping it'd get
better but it didn't. I agree with this review 100% and I wouldn't
even give it 50. It is really a bad game. Zak

UT2KS is the BEST arena multiplayer game EVER (better then Quake 3,
thats for sure).

I OWN UT2KS & MUST SAY THAT IT IS AS GOOD AS QUAKE III. Oh, yeah
& Unreal II wasn't that bad, just no where near as good as
Unreal or as good as it should have been.
EPIC SHOULD DEVELOP THE NEXT UNREAL GAMES!!!

I guess this is the best place to mention that UT2k3 is Very Bad.
Its kinda pretty, but that really has very little value other than
destroying your framerate in a game that is all about 'dodging' and
double-jumping around really fast while spraying guns that shoot too
slow to hit. "I want to snipe that guy....oh $&@@, hes
strafe-dodge-double-jumping while using his translocator to warp
around."
Then they add a gun that seems to work like the BFG in Doom. A big
boom and everything in front of you dies. Go skillz!
Rocket launcher is so very unbalanced because its accurate,
predictable, fast, blast radius, and high damage. Camp the RL spawn
and you win.
bah, crap game.

FS tends to rate almost EVERY game more harshly than other pubs,
which I view as a good thing; way too many mags and online pubs give
in to the hype and rate a game as being great, even though it really
should have lower marks.
I've read every FS Unreal review, and I hate to say it, but they're
right on the money. Though I did enjoy Unreal Tournament (original,
not the UT2k3 trash), I got rid of the cd's over a year ago...
whereas I still play Quake3 and related mods (and, of course,
GlQuake! :)

Wow, and I thought the Firing Squad reviews couldn't have gotten
worse.

OK, hopefully this post doesn't become too long. First of all, this
review was too harsh. U2 should have been low 60's at the lowest.
Mid 70's at the highest.
Now, to address why such a low score? First of all, any of you
fanboys have ever played any really good single player games such
as Deus Ex or the Thief games? If you have, then you would know
that this game doesn't have one tenth of the gameplay and replay
value as any of those games. I AM a thief fanboy, yes it's true. I
can go through the game and play it a hundred times. And each time
differently. The graphics are not GREAT, but GRAPHICS don't make a
good game!
The whole, FIRINGSQUAD = ID SOFTWARE LOVER thing is just SILLY!!
Once again I agree that the review was too harsh, but this should be
a good thing. I hope that nobody ever has to spend $50 and have a
top of the line system to play a 10 hour game!? Did I mention the
POOR story line? Please don't call me an ID fanboy either. I could
even see ID software using a story like this.(actually when you
think about it, the doom series kinda has the same futuristic space
marine story line)
Now a lot of you suggest that Tom Chick was unfair saying that
Unreal 2 needs multiplayer to have been anywhere near decent. He
was right. A lot of you are making the assumption that Tom Chick
was saying "SP games need MP to be good." That is simply
not the truth. Tom Chick was suggesting that some games with poor
SP can actually be worth their cost with a multiplayer pack. In the
case of U2, this statement was correct.
If you look at all the editor's choice awards for games, You will
see that most of them are

It's funny but I really don't trust the reviews from Firing Squad
when it comes to an Unreal game.
After they gave Unreal Tournament more points than Quake 3, but
somehow Quake 3 had a higher score, it showed their bias and I
really can't take what they say about Unreal 2 that seriously. Too
bad. I don't own the game, I might get it I might not, but I will
never trust a firing squad review.
