Marathon? Isn't that, the old game with monster that have bardiches? Yes it is. And what's this then??
It's a conversion you dumb ass :). Even thoe I only played Marathon once on a friends old Macintosh,
I think Marathon is a killer game. But this conversion isn't. Why? well if you wanna know read on.

OK at first I have to say I HATE the scoring system. When you die, you loose a frag! maybe you like this
but to me this is unacceptable. I hate it and I'll never come over it. Cause when you play, and you get
some kills you'll loose them seconds later! it's like jumping out in space on DM-Morpheus. The best score
I had while playing was -2... I don't want to be below the zero!! and the bots... they had -30.
So my TIP to you: Don't run with Frag Limit on Marathon|Rampancy!

SMG, fires fast as hell.
Yep, It's a Rocket Launcher.

And after I had tried this "Stash!" gameplay, I choosed "Free For All". I have to say that I didn't know
that "Free For All" meant "Play Deathmatch on all maps (DM, CTF, DOM, AS, SW)". But apparently it did.
And if you choose other maps than DM, it will use normal UT settings and weapons!
NOT
the Marathon|Rampancy weapons or settings!
But if you choose a DM map you'll have a hell
of a time! I couldn't' notice any difference between "Stash!" and "Free For All" on a DM map,
So I wonder what "Stash!" is... Well you have to find out on your own cause I don't really care :)

...He look dead to you?
AKIMBO SHOTGUNS BABY!


So what is good with this Marathon|Rampancy? Well to say the part I liked the most was the KICK-ASS
akimbo shotguns! but all the weapons are really cool in this game. Akimbo guns, SMG, Flame-thrower
and more to fulfill your Marathon experience! And other good things in this game? Well... none...

The sounds pretty much suck. I mean SUCK. They annoy me to hell! like whenever somebody dies,
(man or woman) you'll hear a scream: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! I HATE IT! It's in a high tone and annoying!
And also it's a male's voice only, no women voices has screamed or taunted anything when I played. annoying!

Another thing is the gravity, It ruins gravity maps like DM-Morpheus. otherwise... nah, It's cool and fun :)
Also the fact that you can't duck annoys me. The damage system is an interesting topic. It's somewhere between
Tactical-Ops and Infiltration. This makes AS maps and some CTF maps really fail in gameplay.

You can squeeze thru some new areas now.
Burn Baby!


So why should download this game? Well.......... umm...... The Weapons!!! The weapons are so KICK-ASS!
And the bots simply rocks.
