I loved Unreal! I loved Unreal Championship! Unreal II SUCKS! It's on the XBOX, so why such bad graphics?! The video outtakes are toooooooo long! Why bother with them, after we've played the game once they just get in the way of replayability. (is that a word)

Buy it used, if you just have to have it, or better yet borrow it from a friend and don't watse the money.

DONT BUY IT....

This game looks worse and plays worse than old PS1 games, now I played this on the PC and I wanted to play it on xbox. Boy was I mistaken, the game looks horrible, and it just feels wrong. THe single player is just downright boring because of how it plays. And the mulitplayer, I played XMP (which is what the PC version was) and it was a lot of fun, but on Live with more than 8 people it gets super laggy. And the maps are for probably 16 people at least....They are HUGE. Overall this game sucks, I ebayed mine.

Unplayable Single Player

This game just had so much potential. Sweet graphics, cool storyline, gameplay like Halo, Xbox Live Play. What the hell happenned then? I popped the game into my xbox, started a Single Player game and was immediatly greeted with an ugly cutscene that looked like it was programmed for the Atari Jaguar. I thought "Well ok... the graphics will get better... and the gameplay will kick ass... right?" WRONG! I got into my first battle and I thought I had a slow mo cheat on. I mean, the game was chugging at about 3 frames per second. To make matters worse, the monsters have 2 frames of animation. And no, I am not exagerating- the monsters literally look that pathetic. As the game was pretty much unplayable at that point, I just gave up "playing" (more like watching a flip book) and sold it as fast as I could. Not having Xbox Live, I could not test the online component of the game... but it has to be better than single player. Overall, I would stay far way from this and go buy Halo or Halo 2 or Brute Force or pretty much any First Person Shooting game out there. If Atari had actually taken the time to iron out all the bugs, Unreal 2 actually has some ass-kicking potential. As it is, the game is an over-hyped piece of junk.

Tired of stupid boring games...? Then don't play this one!

I will start this review off by telling you how wrong the description of this game was.

First it said it's vastly popular. I had never heard of this game untill I saw it at Blockbuster. It also said it has stunning graphics. Unless you've been playing Pong all your life, these graphics will NOT stun you at all. Actually, it will stun you at how bad they are. The enemies are like 2 frames per second.

The ups and downs:

Ups: There is Co-operative mode. The one thing that kept this game from being absolutely terrible was this Alien guy who talks funny, and garbles sentences.

Downs: Everything about it, from it's graphics, to its stupid enemies, and it's aggrivatingly hard missions (like when you're inside a giant monster and there is goo everywhere that kills you) This is by far the worst game I have ever played. If given the choice to play Pong or Unreal II, I would choose Pong.

PC version = terrible

If this is anything like the PC version, then give it a miss. The PC version was undoubtably the worst FPS I've ever played!

Completely HALO wannabe

I don't even know how to start this one. Pretty much, you want to be Master Sergeant, but aren't good enough to be him. Number two is the game is not long. I got bored and the game only took 9 hours to beat.

Worthless, haven't touched it since that day.
Worthless, in one word.
Worthless, get the drift?

The First Doom is Better!

I dont know if any of you guys remember the first doom on Super Nintindo, but this game is similar to it and that is sad! Today games should be around the level of high-tech. For example halo 2, games need to stay in that level or continue to get better which they are, (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and future game systems to come).
Back to the review

Graphics: 2-D things in a 3-D world 1/10
Gameplay: bad 4/10
Sound: good and bad 3-5/10
Story: didnt really pay close attention 0/10
Replayable: NO 0/10

This game shouldn't have been for xbox at all. Its a discrace to xbox and the unreal series. Save your money for something better unless you really like the old stuff.

This May Be the Worst Game of Ever

I played this game for 3 minutes and it didnt take me long to realize how horrible this game was. The first enemy I incountered I shot down and it had two frames of animation. Doom 3D had better graphics and animation than this steaming pile. There is nothing about this game that merrites a $40 price tag. Stay away from this game! I use the word game only becuase it is only playable by a gaming system. This is just one of the horrible games that came into existince since the first Halo came out.

A Significant Disappointment

I don't want to repeat what the previous two reviews have said. I agree with it all, except the parts that say it is an okay game. It's not. The single player is simple, boring, graphics below average, too much dialogue, and takes way too long to load. The multi-player has some cool ideas and concepts to it, yet takes forever to load and the gameplay is slow. Why is it so much slower than Unreal Championship? Why does the PC version have so many game modes and the XBOX only has one option?

Bottom line: waste of $40, I hope to get $15 back when I trade it in.

Doesn't quite cut it

This game just doesn't hit the mark.

The Unreal Engine is certainly awesome. And I've been a fan of any game using the Unreal engine, but this game just is not even interesting enough to keep playing. It certainly doesn't have replay value, and has really painfully long load times.

Worst of all, as someone who doesn't do xbox live, I felt a bit of "bait and switch" when the back of the case speaks of "spectacular vehicle carnage" and there's not one vehicle in the entire single player mode! Ouch. And here I thought Unreal would never let me down.

Weapons are great, and I dig the flamethrower effects, but that's about the only positive I can think of for this game..

I may have to stop being an Unreal fan after this one.

Don't spend the $40. Here, take mine.
