Yes. There is plot/story, but with Marathon you 
have to read it. Marathon presents the story 
through communicator screens. Yeah, the 
communicator screens are an integral part of the 
game, the game still consists of navigating rat 
mazes in between reading communicator screens, 
which has for me very limited appeal. Bungie did 
a much better job integrating the Oni story and 
plot into gameplay.

How many games like these first person shooters 
have a decision tree such that players can follow 
different paths depending on their interaction 
with the plot and story? Marathon was basically 
following the yellow line from start to finish, 
same as Oni (from memory), same as Doom, Quake, 
Unreal...
