Should I get it? I've played all the Halos and loved them all but I've never played Marathon. Is it good?

I wouldn't say that, it isn't as easy to follow as Halo, and can get quite confusing though.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

Sure you have to read a lot. Sure a lot of the levels have a maze like quality to them. And sure the level objectives can get confusing at times, but the games themselves are still insanely fun and the story line is great and interesting.

Besides, the game is free and doesn't take up a lot of space.

In the simplest way to think about it, think Doom II, but actually more fun and engaging.

I wouldn't say confusing really. I think it's really easy to follow, especially since the whole story is in text. I would just say you need a lot of patience. The story is very long, and it has a lot of depth. It takes a lot of time to get through one game mostly because there are just a lot of terminals per level, and theres about 30 levels.

I would still play it, it's one of my favorite games of all time. I would say it has a better story line than some of the Halo games, not better than CE though.

IMO it's fun, challanging and a good thing to enjoy. But It's quite hard to follow the story. MP is good (even though it's Split-screen and System link (not sure about that last one)), fun to play. And it has some hard achievements but also some easy ones.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

It's free, so why wouldn't you?
