Unreal did open and diverse alien levels with functioning biomes with a day and night cycle, filled with alien fauna and flora half a year before Half-Life and years before Halo. It also introduced advanced and competent enemy AI not only through its enemies but through its revolutionary bot tech in multiplayer, along with friendly NPC’s that interact with you and can open up secrets if you keep them alive long enough (again, before Half-Life.

All that plus it’s revolutionary arsenal of weapons and enemies, plus the fact it debuted the Unreal Engine, the definitive game engine, yeah it was a bit more than just “UT99 the prequel”.
