Marathon Infinity

Marathon Infinity concludes Bungie's original Marathon trilogy with an ambitious science-fiction shooter built around complex levels, intense combat and an increasingly strange narrative. The player once again explores hostile environments while dealing with aliens, advanced technology and artificial intelligences whose plans are considerably more complicated than 'shoot the aliens and go home.' The game expands the series' distinctive storytelling through terminals, multiple possibilities and a more surreal atmosphere. Its large, intricate maps reward exploration and careful attention, while the weapons keep the action moving. Marathon Infinity is an important piece of Bungie history and a fascinating example of how first-person shooters could deliver genuinely ambitious storytelling long before cinematic campaigns became standard.

“Marathon Infinity takes the closed universe of the Marathon series and blows it wide open. The solo/co-op campaign, “Blood Tides of Lh’owon,” is a 20-level scenario sporting new textures, weapons, and aliens. More than that, the scenario sheds a surprising new light on the story’s characters and the meaning of events. Having defeated the Pfhor and reawakened the ancient remnants of the S’pht, the player now faces a world where friends become enemies and all is not what it seems…” - Bungie Software
