Strengths: Fantastic Graphics. Nice textures with huge spaces.
Weaknesses: High PC requirements. Short Play Duration.
Summary: My initial feeling was that this would be a fantastic game. I liked the idea of returning to the ship between missions for briefings as well as character development. However, it son became evident that there wasn't a lot going on shipwise. No hidded info, weapons or even eastereggs.

UR2 is a fine game, hands down. But it feels more like a mission add-on than a complete game. An experienced FPS player could easily complete this in a weekend (not a lot of bang for the buck.) Also, character development was seemingly thrown in as an afterthought, not really playing onto the game as much as I'd hoped. I got the feeling that the production was based more on a deadline than a completed product.

I'm not unhappy that I purchased the game. I love FPS, and if you fit in this category, this is a game you should own. However be forwarned that there is only about 8 - 10 hours of gameplay involved, and you may have to tune down some of your settings to achieve the framerate or quality you desire.

Strengths: Amazing graphics, Beautifully designed levels
Weaknesses: Terrible story line, very easy
Summary: This game has amazingly intricate levels and great game play. The storyline is very laking though. When I finished I was expecting an ACT 2 to come up, no such luck.
