    THE UNHOLY WAR - THE MOST UNDERRATED GAME THAT HAS BEEN CREATED

    Hello , if you have not heard of the unholy war you have come to the right place.
    This review may be 10 years late as things have moved on so much since the creation of the game. however it is still my personol favourite game of all time. I own a xbox 360,nintendo wii and most big named consoles. i also own all the big named games i.e CoD , Gta ect. and this by far beets them all ! It is such a shame nobody has heard of this game as it is a fantastic action game!

    The game is set on the planet  Xsarra, on which two powerful forces are at war: the Arcanes (Xsarra's original inhabitants) and the Teknos (conquerors who want the planet's resources for themselves in the name of "progress"). The Teknos crash-landed on Xsarra because they left Earth when AUR there ran out.

    In the game there are 2 modes , mayhem mode and strategy mode.

    Mayhem mode is basically 1 on 1 battles where each team sends out a warrior and they fight and basically the winner is the last team with members of the team alive. you can sit there and play this for hours. if this game was online it would be amazing ! but unfortunatly online play was not invented when this game came out so you will have to bring mates round and play it on one game

    Strategy mode is fantastic. It is basically like chess pieces , each warrior can move a certain amount of space to get to different parts of the strategy mode map. There are 12 different strategy mode maps and 3 difficulty levels. you must collect AUR (used as a type of currency) and you can buy warriors from your base. the objective is to defeat all the other team's warriors and destroy there base.

    The teams concist of 7 warriors each and 1 hidden warrior that can be unlocked via strategy mode.

    I INSIST you buy this game . it is absoluteley OUTSTANDING and its such a shame that its not well known . maybe if it becomes popular enough you never know , one day the unholy war 2 could be on its way!!!

    The game is quite rare now but can be bought for reasonable prices from ebay and amazon.
