Yes. And like I said, I didn’t cover things like story or graphics in my previous post. Story wise, I like M2 more than the rest. M1 story seamed a bit dull in spots, and MI's story just left me confused and nothing ells.
I think MI's graphics are the coolest of all three. It manages to capture some of the dark and spooky feel of M1, without all the repetition we see in the original maps. MI's maps are, IMHO, pure genius. I also like all the cool ambient sounds in M2 and MI, it gives a lot of life to the levels. Besides, I never really go for in-game music anyway.
oh, and I like the pfhor in M1 more than the others. They just seem more, I don't know, *alien* I guess. But I agree with you about the wasps and lookers. They not only looked bad, but served no perpous other than to annoy me.
: I agree with most said in this post. Also, Arrival is my favourite level in
: any of the Marathon games. It was the first level I played and I had never
: played anything quite like it before. It was creepy and very scary and the
: whole Marathon felt very spooky, dark and lonely. The only other human I
: could find was an engineer Bob hiding in a small secret compartment, and
: if you let him out he was running around in total panic. It felt like
: something very evil was taking place and an eerie sense of hopelessness
: was all around you. I didn't buy the first Marathon though, so I actually
: played M2 and Infinity before playing M1. I just played the M1 demo around
: 200 times instead (probably more).
: When I finally got the chance to play the whole M1 I must say I was
: disappointed though. The Pfhor fighters look best in M1 in my opinion. But
: most of the other enemies look rather childish. The Wasps look dorky, but
: most dorky are those weird brown little critters, which look like turds
: with insect legs. Most of the level in M1 look rather primitive too after
: playing Infinity, and rather dull. Also the lack of ambient sounds just
: make everything too silent and makes everything feel artificial.
: To sum it up, I don't think M1 is the best game of the three, but I don't
: have any favourite. They are all darn good, and quite different, but I
: just thought I'd mention some of the less good parts of M1. M1 has the
: best feel to it though, that I can agree with.
