The Unholy War (PS1) - Undue Review

Рет қаралды 36,151

If I was the leader of an alliance of robotic alien races seeking to make first contact with the inhabitants of a newly discovered planet, I could think of better ways to go about it than crashing our only ship into a place known colloquially as "The Deadlands" and proceeding to shoot randomly at the seemingly innocent wildlife. But then I'm not the boss of the Teknos, and the wildlife on Xsarra isn't all that innocent. Cue unholy war.

I was just about to post the same...This is some of the most gloriously funny shit I've seen a while, and his videos barely break 2k views if he's lucky? What is this?! MADNESS I say!!! Maybe Duck should try and do a collaboration with Scarfuhlu or, as you mentioned, Caddi. I don't know how fast his channel is growing, but whatever it is, it's not as fast as it deserves :l

Thanks guys. It's so great to get feedback like this and makes it worth the effort. Remember you can really help me out by sharing my stuff with friends but yeah, that's not the only factor at play here. Like, it doesn't help that I deliberately choose obscure games I guess. Not many people are searching KZfaq for the likes of Unholy War or London Racer, so maybe you're right; a collab could be useful (and a lot of fun!)

Yesssss! Thank you! I recently purchased the Legacy of Kain's "Soul Reaver" series from a local seller on Facebook (Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Legacy of Kain Defiance), and I remember seeing Soul Reaver for the first time years ago because of this game and the demo it had. I have spent YEARS remembering this game and not knowing what it was called. I just remember playing it as a child and only remembering "The Human Torch," and being terrified while playing the Soul Reaver demo.

Just seeing this video...a little late. I too loved this game and spent a large portion of my childhood playing this. Just going to throw out that I'm thinking the main menu that you reference as looking like a giant spider thing is actually the spaceship that fell onto Xsarra. See 1:57-1:59 of your video where the ship is crashing down to the planet and the giant pointy things on the ship look like what could the feet of the spider menu, which would make sense since there could be a crater that the ship made when it fell and is popping out of. The pointy things on the ship are facing the right direction for that to make sense. Not 100% on the theory, but definitely a possibility

Thank you so much for reviewing this game, and even more about the trivia. However, it should be noted that the reason Unholy War never got a sequel is because; 1. Crystal Dynamics shut down, Eidos has been absorbed into Square Enix and TB doesn't actually have the rights to it. If you look for the copyright, no one owns Unholy War anymore. On the bright side, if I say, started working on a fan remake right now, no one can send me cease and desist.
