Very intense, very fast paced. For those of you who grow tired of the slow plodding pace of Halo or Call of Duty, Unreal is perfect. It removes reloading and cuts respawn times in half, so you're in the action as much as possible. 2004 was an excellent edition in the Unreal saga with a ton of weapons, game modes, characters and vehicles. On top of that, online plays opens the door for tons of mods and user made vehicles and weapons. For $10, you can't do much better. PS - for those of you looking for a challenge, playing through the game on God-like is impossible for human beings, I swear...
I've never had so much fun with a game, from start to finish Arx Fatalis had me hooked. Maybe it was the innovative casting system, or the variety of weapons and spells, or maybe it was the real-time flow of the world, or...maybe it was the fact that the game is hardly breakable. Its not as long as Morrowind, but I intend to play Arx again and again....and again. Amazing game, I would highly recommend to fans of the FPRPG genre!
You still can't hardly find this game for less than $10 even used, so a patched DRM free version for that much is more than worth it. This isn't a game that's for Flatout/Burnout fans, its more along the lines of Forza. Its very realistic, I would highly recommend a joystick/analog pad for this because the slightest mistake can send you spinning (like a real rally race). Pros: Good Graphics Great effects/damage models Detailed fun tracks Super realistic driving engine Cons: Doesn't work well with a keyboard Almost too realistic, driving in the rain and mud is almost impossible So yeah, not much wrong with it, just remember, this game is almost realistic to a flaw. If you liked Forza or any of the CMR's before this one, you'll love. Acclaimed to be one of the best rally games ever. I loved it.
