Unreal 2; how long is it? What's YOUR review?

Someone told me it was short and I got stuck so I downloaded a walkthrough. If the walkthrough is the whole game I am on the last mission?!? The one with the annoying spiders like the second actual planet I am on? I am sure that can't be it. or I am taking it back and demanding a refund.

As for my review so far, it's a lot of eye candy and not much else. After playing games like GTA3 (not a FPS but in the same sort of market) NOLF and NOLF2 and Morrowind, I think it's time there be more to a FPS then just walk over guns and ammo and auto pick it up and shoot everything that moves. I do like the way you have the firefight with the marines where you have to avoid friendly fire. I think these games need more realisim, like searchable corpses (but it takes time to search time in which you can get killed) and bad as I am at it, stealth missions are fun too. Morrowind has proven that a first peson shooter can be good graphics but intense and detailed engaging gameplay. Unreal 2's graphics are phenomenal but all that does is make everyone buy new hardware every six months. Don't get me wrong I like pretty games, but I think the emphasis should be on engaging and immersive gameplay and then on improved graphics second. I wouldn't mind if my videocard would last a year at least, especially if it means games that are more fun.
 
I'm gonna buy it because I loved the 1st Unreal and, with the amazing new graphics engine, it gives me an excuse to upgrade!🙂
 
Just about to get the 6th artifact, not sure how far through that makes me, but it's been lots of fun so far.
5 or 6 hours playing time to get where I am.
 
Flashy graphics, but bland gameplay. The typical FPS in which you run around like a chicken with it's head cut off firing randomly at everything you see and picking up the occasional ammo on the ground.

That's pretty much my synopsis from the little time I spend with it.

Then again, I'd strongly suggest anyone interested in the genre ignore my opinion as I've never found much entertainment in FPS ghames and Unreal 2 merely serves to continue that trend.
 
For some reason I think if this game would have gotten great reviews everyone would be saying how great it is. Its wierd how much reviews have an impact on a games succes and influence people opinions.

With that said, My main complaint about the game is the steap system requirments. I can run it just fine with a little choppines at times....but I think games should run better these days. Also it feels like just another FPS....wich isnt a bad thing. It has some cool moments and great inviroments...along with good weapons and moments that will make you jump out your seat. What else is there in a FPS? ....Muliplayer maybe?

Its a good game and if you like FPS games then you will be fine with this one too......its a game.....I guess some people just expect games to do something amazing and change thier life.......
