Unreal offers a complete world for you to roam -- a world of incredible beauty and realism with the most detailed environments ever to grace your PC screen. In one seamless flowing world, race across vast outdoor and indoor environments, enter enchanting cities, mysterious temples, glittering mines, shattered ships, and crystal clear waters. Unreal delivers this cutting-edge realism on computers using a Pentium 166 or higher. And for those of you lucky enough to have a Pentium II, MMX technology or a video accelerator, the Unreal realms will become your reality. Not that it’ll be easy: with Unreal's array of fierce new fully polygonal enemies stalking your every move, it’ll be a struggle just to survive. You’ll have some help, of course: with an arsenal of incredible new weapons at your disposal, you should at least have a fighting chance against the Skaarj and their allies. But with over 300 frames of animation apiece, and monster AI (that's Artificial Intelligence to...

One of the most satisfying FPS games ever made imo with an amazing atmosphere. The world in Unreal is really one of the very best ever. Na pali is easily one of the best alien worlds ever made for a video game. Unreal received acclaim when it was released but sadly has been forgotten over time which is a damn shame. Its easily up there with Half life Quake 1 and 2 and the Doom games.

Unreal was a real step up when it came to graphics and artificial intelligence at its time of release. Even now in today's world the game can still look pretty great maxed out with a high resolution. And if you install the new HD texture packs with the latest patches, the game can look truly beautiful. The AI of the enemies is till impressive and really dynamic. The many enemies of Unreal will jump and doge away from your attacks they will back away when they are hurt, they are very fast and will really test the player. If you have ever played Unreal Tournament, then that is what it feels like when fighting the enemies of Unreal. The Ai is just as good as it is in the Halo games tbh and this game was released in 1998 that should tell you a lot. The game has a great soundtrack and is often said to be one of the best for an FPS game, i often listen to it on my phone.

Unreal did get an expansion pack also called Return to Na pali. Its a pretty good expansion and gives you more Unreal to play with some new weapons. Problem is it was rushed out so there are some texture issues on some maps and there are also some annoying bugs left in the expansion. If you wanna play it and you really should i recommend the mod Return to Na pali the ultimate edition. It is a mod for Unreal Tournament (not unreal gold) and it fixes all the issues found in the original expansion and adds a lot of cut content and adds new stuff also that fits in really well with the base game. It is so good you will not wanna go back to the original expansion again. There are many really well made custom levels and campaigns for Unreal the modding community is pretty amazing.

I really really wish Unreal got more attention its got a great single player that will take you anywhere from 10 to over 20 hours to get through and it has a really great multiplayer bot mode also. Its multiplayer is basically the precursor to the Unreal tournament games and this is all one package.

If you have not played it then please do you will not regret it. Install the HD packs with the latest patches and get lost in the beautiful alien world of Unreal.

This is one of the games I received with my first computer, making it one of the first PC games I played and nothing will make me forget how I felt when I played it.

Today it may look like nothing much but back in the day, nothing was comparable to exiting Vortex Rikers and seeing NyLeve for the first time or the first encounter with a Skaarj warrior in a claustrophobic corridor.

To me, this will always be one of the greatest games of all time.

One of the best, if not THE best adventure first person shooters that I've ever played.

Chillingly awesome atmosphere left me wordless. Music, Nali culture, level design, weapons... absolutely fantastic.

The Sunspire was definitely one of the best-looking parts of the game.

The game gave lots of new inside jokes for me and my friend, and it feels so nostalgic to play it even though I first played it about a year ago.

One of the best first-person shooters ever, with an outstanding gameplay, excellent weapon selection, the beginning of what made UT the best fast-paced shooter multi-player

Outstanding game with addictive co-op fun and plenty of mods.

Unreal is a phenomenal game and a landmark FPS along with Quake and Half-Life. I would actually say that Unreal was the first FPS along with Half-Life to be classified as a true modern FPS where environmental storytelling, atmosphere and heavy scripting was used. Quake was more of an old style of FPS with great technology, but no evolution in gameplay experiences. Unreal and Half-Life was that "next step" in the evolution of particularly FPS games.

The atmosphere of Unreal is incredible with lush visuals (still gorgeous to this day 25 years later), brilliant pacing, awesome fun weapons and a soundtrack that is legendary. The enemies you will face and the AI used are incredibly advanced, even till this day, making it an exceptional FPS experience. Unreal is extremely special to me and every time I play it, it truly transports me to Na Pali with its atmosphere, residents, enemies and experience.

If you want to see where the true birth of the modern FPS comes from, then look no further than Unreal (and Half-Life). Having played both when they were released, these games are truly special to me and influenced me very deeply. Absolutely a legendary masterpiece and again criminal what the modern Epic Games and Tim Sweeney are doing with the legacy of this creation by burying it.

I cannot give this game justice and of course I am biased since I mod primarily for this game and have loved since i was very young when it came out. Either way, I am sad that tons of levels and other content have been cut and to this day we don't have nearly anything of the cut levels that was made in total for this game. It was really massive once even once made for massively online experience. It had three to four distinct developement phases too and started out on ms dos from which phase we've only seen the mesh editor. Indeed the early phases of all the years are missing from all that got recovered over years in exception of 1998. I hope someone will one day come forward with a full cache of build and maps like the shadow warrior betas were released.

An amazing game for its time and still great even today. Great single player to play through and a really decent multiplayer mode that would later become unreal tournament.

Unreal is legendary.
