Unreal reviews start pouring in!   (05/29/98)

We're starting to see the first few reviews of Unreal and they are spectacular! Italian Magazine The Game Machine gave Unreal 97%!! while Dutch Magazine Power Unlimited rings in at 98%! The hugely popular Adrenaline Vault web site gives us 5/5 while Next Generation Online gave us their first ever Editor's Choice award! Australian magazine PC Powerplay gave us their highest ever score of 98% while Hyper, another Australian publications gave Unreal 97% al the highest score they've even given to a game. According to Hyper, "Unreal is simply the most drool-worthy 3D shooter the genre has ever seen". They liked the graphics and sound too saying that "Unreal's software mode looks better than some other game's 3D hardware mode" and "The sound? it too is the best I've heard in a computer game to date" and finally the verdict: "The most thrilling first-person experience yet".
