Finally a Marathon thread! Or rather, a thread other than Halo.
This makes me happy.
I for one, absolutely love Marathon, and truly admire the storyline, even more so than Halo.
Shocking?
Not really, although it may joust your spirit to know that I hand wrote every singe terminal word by word in the first game.
While I am not as big a fan as the gameplay in the other two, I am recently debating whether or not to do the same for them.
Anyways, my thoughts in a nutshell:
Marathon has superior aspects opposed to Doom, the rival of the day. It is fun and has great replay value, as I am playing it to this day. Additionally, the first one had better gameplay, primarily due to the lack of music in the other two. Music is what makes a good game.
Oh, and Durandal is an honestly outstanding character. I learned a lot of philosophy from this AI through the game. I can't think of any other game that makes one contemplate life as much as Marathon did. It is simply fantastic.
