We bought Torque before Unity 1.5 was released and I started to try working with it. It is a game engine for a coder. The Torque IDE is built using the game engine itself, so it does not have the polish or ease of use Unity does, which is a native OSX app all the way. And the Torque Shader Engine, which does all the cool visual stuff, publishes only to Windows.
Unity looks fantastic and has stunning performance on a wide range of hardware.
We have been working closely the developers to add new features we need to the engine, and they are incredibly helpful, knowledgable, passionate, and responsive.
If you have wanted to create a full-on 3D video game, but were scared away by all the start from scratch coding, this is the tool for you.
If you want to create a massive, commercial-quality game, this is the tool for you. The only limit is your artistic ability and coding ability.
RIght now Unity does not do networked/multiplayer out of the box, but it is in the works.
