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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Fast engine, smooth gameplay
Disadvantages: sound effects

...Unreal Tournament published by Infogrames was released in 1999. Unreal Tournament is a shoot 'em up game featuring multiple game modes such as capture the flag assault and deathmatch. Game modes: Capture the flag - both teams start with a flag at their base. The object is to take the enemy flag to your base while protecting your own flag. Assault - each map has a few set objectives, there is an attacking team and a defending team, to win you first have to assault the base then you have to defend, if you manage to do both you have won. Deathmatch - this is a free for all mode in which the first player to score a certain amount of frags wins. Team Deathmatch - the same as deathmatch only all frags add to your team score apposed to an individual score. Domination - this game mode is original to Unreal Tournament... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: its very cheaply
Disadvantages: the game loaded a few minutes

...The new Unreal Tournament I think that Unreal ist the best shooter game of the world. In these games you can play against bots or you can play the game in the internet or network. Unreal has a very god grafik. The sound is perfekt, too. I play Unreal Tournament every evenig with my friend or with my little brother. We have two pc's in our room and we can play over network. If I have time, I play it in the World Wide Web, too. You find many players, who wants to play with you. It wont be boring, if you play it every day. Many people thinks, that unreal is very expensive, but it isn't so. People under 18 years are not allowed to buy Unreal, because you are killing people. You must have minimum: - a 300 MHz prozessor - 64 MB RAM - and a god graficport (8MB) Some cheats, if you cant play without: -FLY = fly mode -GOD = god... Read review

Advantages: The game has brilliant graphics and guns.
Disadvantages: The game has strong violence.

...Since I saw this product on the shelf this PC game (Unreal Tornament) was a must buy for me. It had everything that I was looking for in a game. It had the the graphics of Goldenye mixed with the excitement of Quake 2. Unreal Tournament offers you a brilliant single and multiplayer option. Unreal Tournament can be played over the internet against another player in a different country. There are a number of modes which are accessible when selecting a single player game such as "capture the flag". Unreal Tournament also has the best guns to choose from and capture from the likes of a sniper rifle which by clicking on the right hand mouse button allows you to zoom in on the target to the likes of an atom bomb. You control the game by using the mouse and the keyboard. This game is a must buy, for me by just looking at the back of the cover... Read review

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.

Advantages: Almost endless Variety
Disadvantages: The Game does seem to take forever to start.

...Many people dont like Unreal Tournament. This is because, these people are either too loyal to Quake or they are judging it on the first Unreal. This game has many mods, weapons, maps and mission packs etc that can be downloaded from the internet for free! The game also provides an in game connection to all Unreal Tournament servers fast and efficiently without having to download endless packs like you did in Unreal. These packs seemed to take forever. There are some exceptions, if you want to play in a game that other people are and you dont have the map then the games server that you want to connect to will quickly download and install in the right places so you dont have to. The Gameplay is brilliant. its easy to play and the bots play almost as realistic as a real person would. that what the makers of this game love to brag... Read review

Advantages: Superb death matches
Disadvantages: nothing major

...Unreal Tournament seems to be one of those games I just cant put down. Overall unreal tournament is based on a very simple idea – a death match. Go mental with a mini gun or take peoples heads away from their bodies with a sniper rifle (perhaps the coolest looking rifle ever). This basic idea makes the game really enjoyable. The graphics are very good and the maps very well designed. In single player the AI is very good the best bots can dodge bullets and act almost human. There are some bad points about the AI especially on capture the flag map Face. It is a common occurrence when stood in the tower with a sniper rifle to be shot in the back with a shock rifle by your own team mate. And then fall 200foot to a grim death below! Unreal is also played widely online multiplayer gaming adds an extra dimension to the game when... Read review
