[QUOTE="Goodsport, post: 1270811, member: 1550"] Unfortunately, I've never played Half-Life or System Shock (so I would know how it compares to those two), but the single-player aspect of [i]Unreal II[/i] is very good. The graphics are great, the missions are fun and the bickering between the ship crew is pretty funny. :D The only real complaint I've heard (besides the one from fans of the first game, which I just recently found and started playing as well, is that [i]Unreal II[/i] isn't [i]Unreal[/i]... a complaint I generally dismiss since I usually judge a sequel on its own merits rather than whether or not it's exactly like its predecessor) is that it's too short - I wouldn't know whether or not this is a valid complaint, though, as I'm only in the middle of the single-player campaign. Not only is the single-player game fun, but it also expands the scope of the Unreal universe (as the first game only took place on a single planet against a single enemy alien race) by introducing more background history, new planets, new aliens, new corporations (friendly and hostile), new weapons, etc. Additionally, XMP is a heck of a lot of fun too! :) -G [/QUOTE]
