This revolutionary game has fantastic graphics
and the first level is very atmospheric. Many levels, however, have
many rather dull dungeons. Others have very good design and very strong
gameplay, mostly those in the inhabited areas. Otherwise the game is
uncomplicated, without big puzzles and long playing time. One is on
a prisoner's transport which crashes on a planet. One has luck, because
one manages after the crash to escape from your cell. At first you must
arm yourself and escape from the ship. One finds recordings of other
occupants over and over again who have already fought for their survival.
Peaceful inhabitants of the planet help, while they show secret hiding
places if one has saved them before or at least has spared their lives.
Unreal was the first FPS shooter to official include Bots, A.I. characters
which mimic the actions of live players during multiplayer deathmatches.
The gorgeous Unreal engine took 4 years to design. It had several features
that weren't included in the Quake II engine: Volumetric Lighting (an
effect for generating fog, smoke or plasma used in great effect for
obscuring vie), Dynamic Lighting (a real time render of colored lights;
you could mix colored light sources to produce other colors; you also
could see moving shadows). Unreal brought to life not only highly-detailed
indoor environments, but also easily the most impressive outdoor landscapes
ever seen at the time. They improved the lighting and surrounding in the
game, giving them a grittier darker look.A map editor and overall complete
modification program called UnrealEd also came with the package. It also came with its
own scripting language called UnrealScript, and soon developed a large
community on the Internet which was able to add new mods (short for
"modifications") in order to change or enhance gameplay.
Unreal Gold(99) contains the original Unreal game as well as the mission pack, Return to Na Pali.
