To me, Marathon ...Um... no, the last is not a joke. To me, Marathon 2 is The Best Game Ever. Or, if you mean that it doesn't have proper evaluation... the whole Marathon trilogy has a solid and complicated storyline (some say it's ridiculously complicated for an FPS, but still it's refreshing to see something deeper than 'USA won WWII!!1 Maximum nanostrength!') that not only is exposed via Terminals, but integrated into the maps themselves, amazing hand-drawn sprites, dual-wielding (including shotguns), and overall stimulating and engaging gameplay, totally unlike Doom/Duke3D - it's slower and, like Unreal, relies heavily on ambiance. Marathon 1 is dark and creepy, M2 is bright and colorful, Marathon Infinity is arthouse and surreal... I like sequels that do not rip each other off, I like deep complex stories, I like 2,5D shooters, and to me, Marathon 2 is top notch among the trilogy... and among all games. :) Plus, they're all free and open source!<br /><br />As for Unreal, it's funny how the reviewers in Russia and Ukraine were constantly praising nothing but graphics and ambiance there, criticizing the boring gameplay. Not that I agree with them, but I kinda understand the point - it sure is not as fast-paced as Quake, but it doesn't have to. Actually, I think this is why it didn't become a multiplayer smash hit (again, like Quake did), so Epic had to create Unreal Tournament.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658718867552343902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317602354777860808.post-72624578879045111332012-05-17T07:18:41.151-07:002012-05-17T07:18:41.151-07:00I suppose the last is a joke :D
Good to see Unreal...I suppose the last is a joke :D<br />Good to see Unreal rank so well, I always thought I was the only one in giving it some praise for ambience. I actually never considered it to be an FPS but rather an exploration RPG game with the RPG elements stripped out... ok exploration only.MaxDZ8https://www.blogger.com/profile/09678416997539523523noreply@blogger.com
