PLAYER CHARACTERS
Six new player characters of races from past Unreal games make their appearance in Unreal Tournament 2004. The MechaSkaarj appeared in Unreal 2 and the Metal Guard and Necris races, both fan favorites, first appeared in the original Unreal Tournament.
MechaSkaarj: Mekkor - Age: Unknown, Race: Skaarj, Data: "Mekkor is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Severely injured in battle, he is testing his new cybernetic armor in the Tournament"
MechaSkaarj: Skrilax - Age: Unknown, Race: Skaarj, Data:"Skrilax is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Alongside his brother Mekkor, he was severely injured while fighting the Iron Skull Clan."
MetalGuard: BarkTooth - Age: 32, Race: Human, Data: "Barktooth would rather rip an opponent to shreds with his bare hands than fight from afar. He also finds close range Flak shots very satisfying."
MetalGuard: Karag - Age: 42, Race: Human, Data: "Before joining the Iron Guard, Karag honed his weapon handling skills during a long stint as a Marshall for the Terran Colonial Authority. His style and panache already have the the Tournament audience abuzz."
Necris: Kragoth - Age: 127, Race: Necris, Data: "After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Known as the 'Star Slayer,' Kragoth is a dread Necris Phayder assassin. He is rumored to have single handedly killed the entire crew of an ICV Star Cruiser."
Necris: Thannis - Age: 93, Race: Necris, Data: "After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Thannis is participating to scout the competition."
The skins are all very sharp as you can see but it would have been nice to see a female version of at least the Necris skins. The Necris also don't seem to be as menacing as they once were; in fact, the two males look as though they might belong in a teen goth boy band. Nevertheless, two lost races return and it's sure nice to have them back.
