I've always been a fan of the Unreal series of games right up until Unreal Tournament 3, which I've come to the conclusion is a bit pants.
Despite paying full price for this turkey, it just hasn't got the same feel as it's predecessors and after trying real hard to like it I have to admit I don't like it.
But.
Bought 4 games yesterday in GAME high street store, in their '2 for £15.00' series.. They were:
Ravenhearst - a point and click time-waster thingie which kinda appealed to me, it's, um, so-so, one to chill to, nowt special.
Need For Speed Prostreet - have yet to load it and try it.
Race Driver GRID: Which I bought for my mate's new build, not for me cos I already got it.
and....
The Unreal Anthology.
For £7.50 you get:
The Original Unreal fps with Return To Na Pali Mission Pack
Unreal II: The Awakening, another fps
Unreal Tournament - The original.
Unreal Tournament 2004 - the last decent multiplayer/single player with bot game.
And they all work within Vista
I've just played out the opening sequence in the first Unreal and although the graphics are a bit crap even at 1280 x 1024 the gameplay is good.
I do seem to prefer the gameplay of older games, mid nineties to about 2003 to me were the best games, the newer ones, imo, try too hard on presentation and seem to forget about gameplay.
I do remember the original Unreal single player went on for ever and ever and the gameplay was a bit repetitive but I am enjoying this game again, it's great
And The Awakening I only ever played once but I remember it being good so going to play it again.
I'm quite chuffed some old games are playing in Vista, we need more of this.
