One of the best for Macintosh

The definitive online gaming experience, for both PC and Macintosh. The single player game is excellent with fairly intelligent 'bots. The biggest drawback is the built-in network game browser, which is sometimes slow (since it often returns 1000+ games), and does not offer filters to narrow down the immense amount of choices offered. The graphics and sound are absolutely awesome.

Excellent level design

If you are comparing this to Quake 3, then take note that the level design in UT is much better, and this keeps the game very interesting. Q3 levels seem cramped in comparison. This game totally surprised me at how addictive it is.

One of the best games EVER!

This game has the most creative weapons, gameplay, and online play ever. The only bad things are you're gonna need a MEAN machine to play this game. I recommend 128 megs 'o RAM (minimum!) and at least a Voodoo 2 card or one of the newer ATI cards, not the . . . one that came in your iMac or with your B+W tower.

Quake Who????

Top ten reasons to get Ut: 10. GesBioRifle (slime gun) 9. "Die Bitch" after frag response 8. Watching ID soft. go down the drain 7. laughing at people who dont have the game 6. A certain nuclear rocket launcher 5. Even the best players get their ass's kicked by bots 4. Awesome gameplay 3. Forgeting its just a game bec. of graphics 2. Sniping Rifle 1. (drum roll).....Being able to taunt your by thrusting your backside into a wall.

UT Rocks

I've used both Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena extensively, and Unreal Tournament definitely comes out on top. In my experience, Unreal Tournament gets much higher framerates, yet has far more beautiful graphics than Quake 3 Arena could ever hope to achieve, even on the highest settings (I've tried). With an extensive array of 3rd party addons available online ..., Unreal Tournament's gameplay is endless.

Perfect in every way

Another multiplayer FPS, UT offers modes ranging from f-f-a blast fests to team based combat missions. This game has something for everyone, including tutorial levels for those just starting out. Excellent graphics and top-notch production value round-out this gem, but it is definitley not for the under 12 group. this game has a whopping 50 levels and 4 ways to play:Deathmatch,(my personal favorite)Assault,Domination,and Capture-the-Flag.It is backed by aweb site that hosts a bevy of online tournaments (hence the name,DUH!!)and offers patches,tips,and chat with other gamers.If you haven't played it yet I sugggest you try it and kiss that thing you used to have called a social life good-bye.

Unreal Tournament, it's GREAT!

Unreal Tournament is a game where you, blow guts up! You pick from lots of different species and skins! There is different cool kinds of gameplay in it! There is Tournament Deathmatch, Tournament Team Deathmatch, Domination, Assision, Capture The Flag, or Last Man Standing, all have like at least 10 different maps to play. Tournament Deathmatch, Tournament Team Deathmatch, and Last Man Standing is all the same maps. Tournament Deathmatch-Basically, blow anyone up that is standing! Tournament Team Deathmatch-You play 4 teams, Green, Blue, Red, and Gold, blow up the other team! Domination-You have to teams, Red and Blue, and you try to get 3 different places, and if you get 1 plus what ever you put deaths on, you win. Asission- Two teams, one defending a base, or a object, one trying to destory it. If you can do it, then the other team gets the same time as you, and face off. -Capter the flag, two teams, red and blue and trying to get the other team's flag, but it's hard because it's way back in the other base, try to survive, almost imposible. So many points of getting the flag to your base, and you win! Last Man Standing-you get every weapon but two, and try to kill each other, you get a certain number of lives that you choose. You also get 200 live!
All that plus 13 different weapons!
~Chainsaw-You only get this if you check, "Chainsaw Melee" and you can rip other peoples head off!
~Translocater-You need to check "Translocater" to get this, you basically teleport, and if you teleport really close to someone, you can kill them by, "Telefraggin' them!
~Impact Hammer-No ammo, you always have this, if you go by someone with this, you can shoot guts everywhere!
~Enforcer-Like a hand gun, you start out with this gun and 30 ammo.
~Biosluge Gun-You take a gun, and use toxic sluge to kill people, warning, it can kill you too!
~ASMD Shock Rifle-You use a eletrick shock rifle to kill people!
~Pulse Gun-Like ASMD Shock Rifle, but more shooting, more ammo, and it's green not blue shooting.
~Ripper-A gun take shoots razor blades out!
~Minigun-A gun that is very weak, but shoots out like 50 bullets in 2 seconds!
~Flak Cannon-Lots of little, or one big yellow shock ball hits you, does huge damage.
~Rocket Loncher-Shot out lots of rocket with this rocket loncher!
~Sniper Rifle-Get a closer view on this! Shoot the head, it "pops" out!
~Redeemer-A super-rocket loncher, shoots out 1 mini nuclear bomb!
Now, how could you resist this, plus you can go online and play, make or download maps, skins, and get version 436!Grapics/Looking Animation, great job on this one! 10/10
Fun, what can't be fun about this game?! 10/10
Gameplay/Movieplay, it lasts a long time. 9.5/10
Sound, I don't like the music that much. 4/10
Overall, you NEED to get this game! 9/10 which is awesome on my scale, and a big 5 stars at amazon.com!

addictive, awesome online gaming

I've had this game for my Mac for about one year now, and I am still very happy and play often.

The game itself is very big, there are deathmatch, capture the flag, assault etc... and yeah there are alot of MOD's out there for this game still around, the number of servers are getting smaller for the more specialized games, as of Feb 2003, probly because people are switching over to the newly released UT 2003, but if you havent bought and played this game yet, don't worry, there are around 1500-2000 servers up and running still for this version of the game. (capture the flag and deathmatch servers being the most popular.

-Deathmatch, usually online around 8-12 players in one map, and just kill and see who gets the most kills, usually ones the best connection.
-Capture the Flag, simple enough, two flags, two teams 8-12, players per team, and you bring the enemy flag over to your flag, for a score.
-(havent really played the other game modes, these two alone will keep you busy)

Besides the MODs there are specific servers which run only certain weapons, Sniper Rifle, Insta-gib (one shot kills) Assault Rifle) and of course most run all weapons. Most servers run a different assortment of Maps or Levels so try different servers for more variety.

I have an Indigo Imac, 400mhg with the 8mg video ram, yeah I know :-( but I have found a few servers that are always up and running with players and I get good frame rates on, (with DSL connection)

for the price this purchase is really a no brainer, its an old game, but there are plenty of people who will be playing it for awhile longer.... have fun...

And it begins...

I wanted to see what the hype was about. I bought the game hoping to see why every game out there uses the Unreal Engine. And then I found out why. And I really liked it. It's fast, it's amazingly addictive, no wonder it's so popular!

Also, it's fun to blow stuff up in a video game.
