"U2 is missing the tense moments like in U1 when at the beginning of the game the lights go out and a Skaarj attacks you out of the dark. U2: nothing like that".
Actually, the game has plenty of moments like that, and one that is almost EXACTLY like that, since it was built as an homage to that exact scene in Unreal 1. Were you even paying attention?
"BTW, the level where you fight the marines or whatever they are is again really out of place"
Uhh, 'the level where you fight the marines'? Could you possibly be more vague?
"Environments are boring. I'm really missing the strange, alien locals of the first game, like Na Pali, the Sun Spire, Sky Town etc, with all the amazing colorfull textures and skies"
You think Acheron isn't an alien locale? Na Koja isn't alien? The Drakk Homeworld isn't alien?
"One can safetly skip all the talking on board of Atlantis, you won't need any of that information to complete the game".
You may not _need_ that information, but it's there for _atmosphere_ and _immersion_. You know, the same kind of stuff that makes you long for those alien locales that you say the game doesn't have any of.
