Most of the music files of Unreal 2 use DirectMusic, and only the cutscenes use OGG Vorbis format. There are some additional music tracks that were not used in the game. Overall the music is very cinematic and uses much effects.

PC Release Date February 3, 2003
Xbox Release Date February 10, 2004
Engine Version(s) Unreal Engine 2 (821-2110)

History

Primary development on Unreal 2 was performed by Legend Entertainment, with some assistance by Epic Games, and published by Atari.

Demo

Unreal 2

After much delay, the Unreal II demo was finally released on May 1st, 2003. It included one level from the Single-player campaign.

XMP

The Demo for XMP was released on December 5th, 2003 and included one map, XMP-Garden, out of the 8 maps included with the XMP addon.

Release Details

  • February 4, 2003 - Unreal 2 release
  • December 9, 2003 - eXpanded MultiPlayer (XMP) addon
  • December 9, 2003 - Unreal 2 SE (PC)
  • December 9, 2003 - Unreal 2 SE (Xbox)

Reception

While Unreal 2 received above average review scores from most of the major game news outlets, it was not received well at all. The most common complaints were that, while it looked pretty, the game did not have much depth nor any replayability to speak of. The game did gain somewhat of a cult following sometime after the XMP addon was released, however this community focused more on the multiplayer aspect of the game, with the single-player campaign receiving very little time or attention.

Most people dislike Unreal 2 in name only. The game had relatively little to do with the original game, including leaving out any characters, location, and most enemies from the first game. Some people agree that the game is fine as a game, but is not by any means a sequel to Unreal.

Game Content

Engine

Upon release, Unreal 2 utilized build 2001 of the Unreal Engine 2 (verify?). Upon release of the XMP addon, the game utilized build 2226. The game appears to use a different series of build enumerations from the base Unreal Engine, as the XMP release was described as build 6496, with patches to 6497 and 7710 (the latest patch).

Music

Jack Wall (Tommy Tallarico Studios), Clint Bajakian (Tommy Tallarico Studios), Jeremy Soule (Artistry Entertainment), Crispin Hands (Artistry Entertainment), Brian Min (Wedding Productions), Chance Thomas and Richard Schneider are credited for working on the music in Unreal 2.

Most of the music files of Unreal 2 use DirectMusic, and only the cutscenes use OGG Vorbis format. There are some additional music tracks that were not used in the game. Overall the music is very cinematic and uses much effects.
