A Classic FPS Adventure
User Rating: 7.5 | Marathon: Durandal X360
We've all heared of Doom and Quake. But only some have Heared of Marathon. Originaly Devoloped for Mac. The game Was a cult classic but had no Major Audiance. Now its finaly been given justice and re-pixaled in Xbox 360 HD. Now it still has very outdated graphics and gameplay but its worth the 800 points on Live. Just like Doom and Quake you run around Wasting aliens with different Futuristic Weapons. I personaly like the Assualt rifle. On another note. The game has full Multiplayer. A good touch to a classic. Now we can waist other fans and run around in the old version of Multiplayer. Before its real Launch to fame. Xbox live also Has a 10 Player Co-Op Option for the game. A intresting touch. Did i mention this is the game that inspired Halo? I did now. The Story will be familiar to halo Veterans and fans. You play a Cyborg charged with saving a colony ship from destuction at the hands of the alien S'pht and the local Mutant infestation. The games story is told through not dialouge but Text scripts found in Terminals. Also featured in Halo 3 and its "Marathon Man" Achievement.
