Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

History

The second Unreal game to make it's way to the Xbox and first game to be made after the new partnership between Epic and Midway. Release on April 18, 2005 the game was built from the ground up. The game included Midway's Mortal Kombat's Raiden as a playable character.

Game Play

The game included 14 selectable characters, six different game types, and over 35 maps.

Epic installed a new melee system into the game where the heavy characters have a more power but at the lost of their agility while vista versa with light characters. Unlike other Unreals, players would have to choose two weapons (one explosive and one energy) to use where the ammo for each would spread throughout the battlefield.

The game's single player includes a single tournament which involves Deathmatch, Team death match, Nali slaughter, Capture the flag, and overdose which is used to unlock characters and mutators which can be used for online play.

Characters

The choice of character would only effect your agility, strength of the sword, and health. Light are quick and agile but weak with melee strikes with low health while Heavy are slow but powerful high health.
