The best things come to those who wait. In 1998, the PC gaming world was shaken by the arrival of the original Unreal. Now the sequel to this blockbuster, Unreal II, is finally here and is set to redefine expectations, just as its prequel did four years ago.

Unreal II is an intense gaming experience that immerses players in an epic story-driven adventure featuring superb graphics. As a Terran Colonial Authority Marshall, you're patrolling a sector of the frontier with three crew members when an interstellar war erupts about you. Rumours of powerful and ancient alien artefacts have driven rival factions to war in an attempt to find and control the objects. You must locate these artefacts, determine their purpose and restore order to the sector - before it's too late.

Use an advanced, real time dialogue system for fluid communications with your ship's crew and nonplayer characters, enjoy incredibly life-like graphics powered by the latest Unreal Engine technology from Epic, with extremely high polygon counts, skeletal animation, particle system modelling (for fire, smoke, cloth, breaking glass, hair, and so on) and more.

Wield 15 weapons including Unreal favourites as well as brand-new instruments of mayhem, and battle more than 24 different enemies - the dreaded Skaarj returns from the original Unreal alongside various human and alien opponents.

Get caught up in a unique and gripping plot that keeps you committed to finishing the game!

Choose from multiple mission types offering an array of gameplay variations and interact with cutting-edge AI that adds spellbinding realism to each mission.
