This is probably the best 1st person shooter for the MAC. It is just awesome. Graphics, sound, and gameplay are all top notch. Great Game, worth the money!

Awesome! Violently Awesome!

I have been a mac user for several years now but never really had any interest in 'PC' games(games on a computer rather than a console). I recently purchased a new graphics card to speed up the work I do and decided to get a game to see how well the card performed. I was amazed! I have never enjoyed a first person shooter as much as I have enjoyed UT. I highly recommend this title to any mac user looking to shed blood with their friends at work (over the network of course).

Definitely worth the $30.

I recently bought a G4/500 laptop and decided to buy some games for it. Being a fan of Quake 2 for the Mac, I asked my friends whether I should buy Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament. Regardless of what their reasons were, they recommended UT, and I bought it.

It is a really fantastic game with a whole lot of user support, in addition to bonus packs and upgrades supplied by epicgames for free.

The game play is wonderful. I am not so much into the deathmatch and gore-for-the-sake-of-gore killing as I enjoy the capture the flagand domination games.

An important note to make here. As far as getting speed out of this game, your processor is not nearly as important as your video card. This game is actually *faster* on my G3/400 with an ATi Rage Pro card than it is on my G4/500 with an ATi Rage Mobility card. So make sure that your video card can handle it, and your processor should be good to go.

This is a game that is definitely worth buying. And dont be fooled by the gore. There is actually some strategy and team play involved.

I've lost more Hours...

I tried demo versions of both Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament when they first came out. I had to make a choice, couldn't justify buying both. I chose UT. I am planning on buying the GOTY edition soon also. This GAME steals more time from me than anything I have ever done. It is smoother than Quake III Arena, better looking, and easier to control. I can only say that I will never doubt GT Interactive titles (I guess it is Infogrames now). If you are looking for the BEST FPS you can get for Classic Mac OS, this is it.

Buy this game!

This is the best game I have ever played - period. The concept is interesting. The graphics are awesome. This game holds my interest! This is what a video game should be. Most games leave you asking why did'nt they include... or should'nt they have... This game satisfies the most demanding gamer's every wish, then it spoils the gamer by blowing away all other PC-based games. I wish I could give it 10 stars!

Not what I expected

I was very disappointed with this game. Maybe this is because I had already played Half-life before I played this game. I'm always skeptical when a game is without a singleplayer mode and I doubted that it could beat the multi-player of Team Fortress classic for Half-life. While it is an ok multiplayer game it had already been far surrpassed by Half-life in single-player, multi-player, graphics, realism, as well as lasting appeal. I could not in good conscience rate this game any higher when it is obviously lacking in so many categories.

Combat excells, Team play iffy

The way I see it is the following: Quake gets a quad damage railgun shot to unreals head as far as graphics go. And Quake Team Arena gets a Kamakazi at point blank with a couple dozen mines sitting behind Unreal as far as team play goes...

But then Ureal starts fighting back:

Random combat, Unreal headshots Quake with their all powerfull sniper rifle. LAN games, Unreal drops a flak grenade on their head... S'just that simple. I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to set up a lan game with Quake, and eventualy gave up. Unreal was easy.

Unreal also plays on more general range of hardware than Quake, which goes along with losing some graphics. But S'ok, who needs ultimate eye candy when you have a Bio Sludge flinging weapon?

The Team play of Unreal... Frankly bites, the engine just doesnt work for CTF at all, any camper with a sniper rifle or rocket launcher can take you out in one hit, and translocater kills are too easy to pull off for my tastes. But regardless, the combat picks up the slack as far as I'm concerned.

Not a dull moment!

I've had few enjoyable online gaming experiences - until now. UT is simple to connect with, and the six types of games keep things interesting. Plus, just when you get tired of the same maps, you autodownload a new map you've never seen before and keep going. The online game tracking service provides both your statistics and detailed stats of particular games. If, for some reason, you don't have a quick Internet connection, the standalone Tournament is a blast, for a little while.

UNREAL TOURNAMENT ROX
