Marathon 2
Fresh from your triumph on the starship Marathon, you are seized by the rogue computer Durandal to do his bidding in a distant part of the galaxy. Within the ruins of an ancient civilization, you must seek the remnants of a lost clan and uncover their long-buried secrets. Battle opponents ancient and terrible, with sophisticated weapons and devious strategies, all the while struggling to escape the alien nightmare....
The designers that brought gamers the award-winning action/adventure game Marathon now unleash their most stunning creation. Marathon 2 delivers an intense gaming experience in either single-player or network mode. From the howling winds of outdoor environs to the murky bubbling of underwater scenarios, ambient sounds with active stereo imaging set the mood and provide audio cues for the player. Civilian characters don't hesitate to return fire, or speak their minds. 16-bit graphics fill the wide-format screen, as dynamic lighting effects dazzle the eye.
Marathon 2 is a veritable wish-list for network gamers. Up to 8 people can play the whole game cooperatively, in teams, or every-man-for-himself. Games everyone played as a kid-Tag, King of the Hill, Kill the Guy with the Ball and more-can now be played in Marathon's virtual environment while heavily armed.

| The graphics are outdated, yes, but the story lives on. What a great game. For those of you that want to play marathon check out http://source.bungie.org/ Download Aleph One and the enhanced textures. Aleph One allows cool OpenGL effects such as transparency, and the enhanced textures make the game look much better. Now go download them. You will be thankful for having done so. I garuntee it.
Methinks Johnny put the cd in upside-down ;-) |

| Ahhhh, Marathon at it's best. Never before have I played more involving levels or said "Oooh" and Ahhh" so many times. I also said "Aaargh!" a few times when I was ambushed by yet another horde of psychotic fighters. Buy the game. Everyone should have something this good.
P.S. Correction: Marathon 2 was released in late 1995, Meeester Bond, and Johnny, you suck. |
