Yes, it's a cold deal today because it was a Friday sale.

Ok, I don't think i could disagree more with this statement. There are undoubtably many people reading this who played and loved both Unreal and Unreal Tournament. Unreal II does not stack up to those games. It took me about 8 hours to beat and there is NO replay value to it at all. Nothing gets unlocked, there is no multiplayer options, and even the hardest setting isn't enough to challenge a lot of the people who played the first two games until they could go through the maps with their eyes closed.

* Shortest singleplayer game I have ever played
* No multiplayer
* No challenge for experienced FPS players

I spent $49.99 on this opening day and I would have *LOVED* it if somebody had told me not to waste my money on it.

There is no thread crapping on the hot deals forum!

Your post was informative. Saying the game is worth 10 bucks and he should buy game "X" is hardly helpful.

I don't usually complain about people posting opinions of deals...I just get tired sometimes of a person going to the trouble to share a deal with us and then see people bash the item.

By the way, I already read the reviews about Unreal 2, and have seen people's comments (which is why I haven't bought it - well, that, and it being 40 to 50 bucks most places.) This deal was one that I was interested in, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

there is no multiplayer in unreal 2. Its also a very short game. If you are a fan of fps games, i would wait for the bargain bin. NOLF2 is much more enjoyable as a game, has a multi and coop mode at a cheaper price. If you are looking for something to show off your pimp rig and vid card, unreal 2 would fit the bill, but beyond that....

its not thread crapping if you are helping peeps make an informed decision. Sure, its just my opinion as to the quality of the game, but stating lack of mulitplay and length of game are important considerations for a $30 game and potentially a rebate hassle.

It's a pretty good game with AWESOME graphics IF you have a fast computer (1.2Ghz/384MB RAM/Radeon 8500 or GF3).

The story deals with guilt, sacrifice and redemption - so it's not for kiddies. Rather "depressing" I might add (without spoiling the plot).

It's "nothing new" and has elements of so many other FPS with a few (short but) nice innovations. Also the replay value is low (until the mods are out) . . . I didn't mind the $35 I spent for it when it first came out.

NOLF II is a "better" game but Unreal II is better graphically.
