Pros
Pro Pure fast action
Unreal is known as a "twitch shooter". The reason for this is because of how fast the gameplay is, requiring the player to have quick responses to what is going on in the game due to how speedy the whole thing is.
Pro Low system requirements
As it's an older game, any modern computer will be able to play it very well. For best results, it's suggested that a 1.4GHz processor is used and 512MB of RAM is available in the system. These are extremely low requirements for even a 6 year old laptop.
