I was one of those gamers that never really experienced the first game back in 1998 and had my first taste of blood with Unreal Tournament. I'm playing through it now on and I'm surprised and shocked at the same time.
It's somewhat terrifying in a sense, because you're pitted against some exotic and deadly creatures. In UT99 you had some simple human bots and the ocassional Skaarj (which creeped me out) on the battlefield, but the main campaign is full of surprises. I'm loving it so far, especially the emphasis on the Nali villages and beautiful water, but I'm taken back at how this is a 1998 game. I prefer to play FPS games from 2000 and beyond, as that's just my thing, but the game is quite hard.
Skaarj that run towards you in a open space and still get the drop on you. Slith that lunge and slash at you when they are close enough. Not to mention the enemies with rockets for arms among others. So far I'm on the Terraniux level and according to Liandri Archives, I have quite a way to go. I plan on completing the games another two or three times on the ascending difficulty levels and getting as much as I can out of the game. Bot matches and online matches if I'm lucky will follow.
What were your experiences with it?
