Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

The action's a teenage fan boy's wet dream, all leering lizard-men and sneering, scantily clad vixens who exchange gunplay and close-range combat moves like speed freaks in a slap fight.

It blends meticulous fragging action with invigoratingly new brawling elements that, in the end, makes for a completely enthralling experience.

Whether it's offline or online, Unreal Championship 2 will never fail to please, because with so much to do, unlock, edit, shoot, taunt, and blow up…the action almost never stops.

The sequel to Unreal comes up tops with solid gameplay, beautiful visuals and super-addictive online play.
