Any of you guys ever tried out Unreal 2? Geez... Now THAT's true beauty. Unreal 2 is the first game I've ever seen that adds detail to a scene not by pasting a texture on it but by adding more polygons instead. We're really talking millions of polys on-screen at the same time... I think. Do try it out, if you can and have a pretty fast comp. I wouldn't go for it on anything less than a GF4, though. You'd miss out on too much of the good stuff.

It runs fine with a GF3 if the rest of your kung-fu is strong. It really is a beautiful game but it doesn't play nearly as nice as it looks.

Looks: A+
Overall: B

I played it at the LAN on a GF2 and looked great. Gameplay sucks tho :p

Hm. Yeah, it does, really. I'm with Ravin on this one. Too bad they couldn't make the game good as well as beatiful. I love the flamethrower, though. :D

Looks good. And the play's not bad - it's just average. The problem is between the graphics goodness and the hype you'd expect a little... plot? interesting battles? choice?
I dunno.

Snagged it a day or so ago, and I'm in agreement on the gameplay. Some of the weapons are nice, and there's more than a few interesting spots in the game.

The thing that's really bizarre, at least for me, is listening to Isaak. It's like listening to my auditory double or something, inflection and all when I'm in my gaming mood.

I bought it and loved it, even with a GeForce 2 Ti. Just upgraded to a Radeon 9800 Pro, so I'll have to go back and play it again with the new card. I noticed all kinds of new things in PS last nght after I installed it, so I can only imagine what U2 has.

Yep, it was a visually stunning game, pretty fun too.

This is all I ever did in that game!

I have about 50 different shots where I was trying to get the best angle on her, do a little crouch action while she's talking for some really nice BUMP MAPPING textures. Hehe, I'll post more of the other visual things I liked in the game.
