Okay, granted, I haven't played the full version yet, since it hasn't come out for the Mac yet, but I've played the demo, and it's pretty cool! I don't usually get into this type of game, but playing the demo, I've spent hours at it. My husband and I both love it, and give it two thumbs up!

Incredible AI, incredible game

Although it might not be as "fun" as Quake 3: Arena in a strict Deathmatch sense, Unreal Tournament is the best game I have ever played. It has stunning graphics and amazing bots, especially in the teamplay "Domination" game. In team play you can order your bots to cover you, hold a position, search and destroy, or freelance with their own tactics. The weapons are well-designed and vary greatly, although they are probably not as well balanced as in Quake 3: Arena. Unreal Tournament is definitely more of a technofreak concept that Q3, which is more organic, if that makes sense. On my Mac G4 400 with ATI 128, UT performs extremely well- over 30fps all the time at 640x480 at maximum detail. I like how UT dynamically reduces graphic detail to meet my minimum desired framerate of 30fps. Q3 does not have as advanced an interface as Unreal Tournament either. If the final game is as good as the demo version, Mac gamers are in for a world-class game that will finally be the Quake 2 killer. Whether it kills Quake 3 is still a topic of intense debate. Currently, my vote goes to UT for requiring some form of strategy and for being more fun than Quake 3, which too often can turn into a mindless frag fest.

Best Multiplayer, EVER.

This is an absolute masterpiece. I don't think that I've ever come across a piece of software more polished than this. The ammount of content that ships with this game is absoultely astounding! It may not be very well suited for younger audiences, but for 15+, this is excellent.

Not just for multiplayer

Don't let the multiplayer aspects of this game fool you. There is some very serious single player fun to be had here! The bots are the best AI I have ever fought against. The fact that you can adjust the AI adds a whole new area of gameplay. For fun try fighting about 12 bots but make them complete novices, or the other extreme try it against one or two at the "godlike" setting. Multiplayer is smooth and problem free, We are running on a two machine 10 MBPS ethernet network and have had nothing but fun.

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.

Quake 3 take this!

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!

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.

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.
