The ship crashes onto a planet unknown to you. As you finally find the exit and a weapon, you see the beauty that is surrounding you. To make the player feel as if they are apart of the game takes great sound and music. Unreal more than makes you feel like your there, it allows you to feel frightened with the creepy screams that fill the air. The footsteps sound fairly realistic as you run away or towards your foe.
Weapons have distinct sounds upon firing and echoes add to the power.
For example, when you are fighting your enemies in narrow halls, you can actually hear the echo of each bullet as it bounces from walls or enemies heads. Although not the greatest soundtrack, Unreal has a decent way to add to the gore of the game with quake-type music. Graphics Unreal will probably be known mostly for its spectacular graphics. To date, no other game uses 3dfx graphics as well as Unreal does. The lighting effects and colors are used when appropriate to the game, not at every turn like quake2 did.
