Unreal Tournament!

Advantages: Pure Simple Style, Extremely Fun, Super Fast Gaming
Disadvantages: Lack of Numbers Online, Poor Online Lobby System

...I loved the very first Unreal Tournament, I had it on both PC and Dreamcast, I wasn't into online gaming back in those days but it was good enough to engross me in the regular campaign and to just mess around with bots. Since those good old days the more recent Unreal Tournament games have been a bit of a let down in my opinion: For example, Unreal Tournament 2003 was a waste of time, in my opinion the guns got worse, and the game wasn't as simple and quick as it used to be. Things livened up when Unreal Tournament 2004 was released, with the addition of vehicles, this game provided a good romp but wasn't as adrenaline pumped and pure havoc as the original title. When Unreal Tournament 3 was set to be released I was optimistic, I believed that finally there would be an excellent follow up to the great original. The story in Unreal...

Review of Unreal Tournament 3 (UT III) (Xbox 360)

Unreal Battle...ups...Tournament :D

Advantages: The legacy of UT, graphics
Disadvantages: illogical storyline

...First of all, I have to say, that I own the PC version. But nether the less, UT3 is carrying the proud name of Unreal Tournament. UT3 is built on the UnrealEngine. This is recognized as the best engine ever. It delivers high quality graphics at low requirements. So, UT3 has the following requirements: Minimum System Requirements Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor 512 Mbytes of System RAM NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card (128 MB) 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space Recommended System Requirements 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor 1 GBytes of System RAM NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card(256 MB) 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space But now, of the game. UT3 has the graphics of unbelievable size. Textures are finished to extreme and combined with proper lighting, it can look like real...

Review of Unreal Tournament III (PC)

Unreal Tournament III

Advantages: Fast and chaotic FPS.
Disadvantages: single player mode is stale.

...Unreal Tournament III on the PS3 is the most chaotic, frantic Multiplayer shooter you will play period. Primarily a PC based game, this has stood out on the PlayStation 3 due to the developers allowing the use of user generated content on the system. This content can be found and downloaded on various community websites giving everlasting life to the game. It comes in all forms from new character skins, weapons,modes and even whole new user created maps. I must say though, this is a multiplayer game, the single player campaign uses a multiplayer style meaning your playing through level after level of deathmatch, capture the flag and team deathmatch against AI opponents. This leaves you feeling stale after half an hour so unless you have your system hooked up to the internet i wouldn't even consider picking this up. Powered by...

Review of Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3)

Unreal Tournament III - A charm or a curse?

Advantages: Good gameplay, New weapons and vehicles, Polished feel
Disadvantages: Too similar to older games, graphics far too intensive, Not many changes.

...A good game, but needs more content. Many of the people who play this game have played UT2004, the predecessor of of Unreal tournament III and may of been shocked at this games high graphic usage, meaning that if you only have a mediocre graphics card, you're not going to enjoy this game much. The game play is good, and i like the new editions to the vehicle arsenal and your weapons. Not to mention the hoverboard, but overall it's the same UT engine, which is both good and bad. The good is that overall, it still feels like the balanced engine it always has, but the bad is this doesn't allow for significant changes in game play. The new vehicles add an interesting edge, with the necris, and the additions are fun to pilot and use. The mine layer is one of my favourites, with it's ability to lay down the "slow-mo" cube, a device that...

Review of Unreal Tournament III (PC)

Unreal tournament 3, a solid addition to the UT family

Advantages: Good single player campaign. Good multiplayer
Disadvantages: No downloadable mutators or mods. Limited mods provided with game.

...I remember the thrill of playing the original Unreal tournament and the hours of fun it provided me and my friends. As I played each subsequent installment of the game I was very happy with the improvements made and was delighted that the core of the game remained the same. When I purchased Unreal tournament 3 (UT3), it was for the Xbox 360 and it was the first time I had played a UT title on anything but a PC. Right from the opening levels I was impressed with the controls, as they had transferred them from a keyboard to a controller brilliantly, leaving no awkwardness or lag when playing. The graphics were beautiful as well, showing that the Xbox 360 could cope with the frenetic action in the game. One change from previous games was the single player campaign was no longer a competition, but rather a war fought against several...

Review of Unreal Tournament 3 (UT III) (Xbox 360)

Unreal Tournament

Advantages: Great PC Game!!
Disadvantages: Get broadband to really appreciate the multiplayer mode.

...This games was released after the original Unreal, to focus on one of the best features about any game in this genre, the deathmatch! Basically, what it is, you get some people, you give them some big guns, and you put them in one big room to shoot each other! Sounds simple, but it's so much fun!!!! The single player mode focuses on this element of deathmatch unlike the original unreal game. You play against computer characters in different levels. Each level involves a different room to play in, along with a different number of players to kill. Also, there are different game modes. The main one, as mentioned before is Deathmatch. Along with this, there are team games, such as domination, where your team need to have there colour marker in certain places, whilst the other team do the same. Similar, is capture the flag, where...

UNREAL TOURNAMENT - It's still the best

Advantages: solid graphics, good sound, fun, endless playtime
Disadvantages: slightly old... but you can't tell

...This game is in the highest quality of first person shooters... ever. I could write this review in two words BUY and IT! I will, however, go into a little more detail than that. Graphics: Not the best graphics in the world... but everything that I would want anyway. Recently I bought Unreal Tournament 2004; although you can see a small difference in the quality of the graphics you notice a big difference in the smoothness and running speed of the game. There is nothing wrong with the graphics at all. You can add extra affects to the gore which is quite fun, but all in all they are solid, good too look at nice graphics. Sound: The music is good. You could listen too it all day, and probably not have smashed up your computer. Computer Bofs would probably disagree, but I don't think that the sound from this game has been...

So Good Its Unreal... Tournament 2004

Advantages: lushous graphics, loads of maps, new game types, vehicles
Disadvantages: good computer needed to run cleanly

...This game is brilliant, the latest part of the all time classic Unreal series. First Impressions: When you first install this game, you can tell it is the latest in the series. It has that gloss to it, nice graphics, better effects, different weapons... and a longer install time. But even though it's the latest in the series, it didn't take me all that long to start playing Unreal Tournament - the original Graphics: The graphics are the best point to this game. Now 3D, they bare some resemblence to games sch as Age of Mythology and Command and Conquer Generals. The problem is that with these new graphics, you get new specs and a slower run time. If you play on a good computer, these graphics are the best thing that you'll get in a long time. The effects are brilliant -things like rocket launchers are works of art...

Review of Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)

Unreal Tournament will change your life

Advantages: Everything! Extra maps, mods, skins, you name it!
Disadvantages: NONE

...I got this game as soon as it came out and have now completed it, but I still keep going back to it. This game is just so hard to pull your self away from. It is by far the best First Person Shooter (FPS) there is. Unlike the original game, Unreal, this sees you competing in a tournament, hence the name (well duh). There are four main types of play: Deathmatch, Domination, Capture the flag, and Assault. Each of these game types has their own set of beautifully detailed maps (levels to you and me). In total there are 50 maps so there is plenty to stop you from getting bored. In single player mode, i.e. playing against the computer, there are around 300 possible combinations of skins, models, and skill levels. Just choose a player a get going. Jump straight into battle and shoot at everything and anything that moves or makes a sound...

Review of Unreal Tournament (multiplayer) (PC)

Unreal Tournament IS Unreal!

Advantages: Great Graphics and Gameplay
Disadvantages: Incredibly Long Startup Times

...Unreal Tournament (UT) is the first of a new generation of shooters to appear. Quake III: Arena just came out over the weekend and Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms. But those two games have a lot of catching up to do ... UT is the underdog, probably because of the poor multiplayer performance in Unreal. But Unreal had an incredible graphics engine, far superior to Half-Life's (TF2 is based on this) or Quake II. And UT's engine is basically a revved up Unreal engine. It shows. Detailed character models, great lighting effects and lush textures show the incredible horsepower in the UT engine. But that's not all ... the most important question is, how is the gameplay? There is a single-player tournament that you basically use to train. You play against Bots which are the most intelligent I've seen. They'll hide, fire wildly...
