Unity, yes or no?

Hi everyone, I want to create a TPS, and after creating a couple of models for the game, my brother suggested that I should complete my game in Unity, because the engine that he's woriking on isn't finished. So I checked out Unity, and everything looks good and shiny, but when I went to read the review about it, all I could find was: "Bad engine, avoid", or "Unfinhed engine". So I want to ask you is Unity engine, a decent engine, or just another game making tool like the FPS Creator or Game maker. What are your experiences in Unity? Thanks for the advice, Noddy92

Where did you read that it was "Bad engine, avoid", or "Unfinhed engine"?

To whoever said the terrain looks bad without any shaders, well that's a given. Nowadays, a lot of games that try to achieve an AAA look depend a lot on shaders for graphics. Textures and models are only half of the solution.

And here is an example of what type of lighting Unity can do in highly capable hands.

Wow! that cloth shader looks amazing!

Speaking of lighting and graphical quality the following game that is currently in development looks fantastic:

It is a great engine and the latest version (version 4.x) has added quite alot of nice features (Unity2D, ugui, animator). In additional have a lot of unity plugin (free and paid) on assetserver. I developed the game using Unity for 2 years.

If you are a beginner, you can refer to the tutorial unity.

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/2d

I can learn by seeing the video and download source code from assetserver. It's free.

Unity engine significantly reduces the time to make a game. I only took a week to complete a simple game.
