Unreal Tournament is Currently the BEST FPS OUT THERE

For those of you who are wondering whether to buy Daikatana, Quake III Arena, or Unreal Tournament, consider this review. First, Unreal Tournament's graphics are great, MUCH better than Daikatana and a little better than Quake III. Although the game is based on the original Unreal graphics engine, you wouldn't know it. UT looks spectacular. So does Quake. Daikatana does not. Gameplay in UT is great as well, the aiming is precise, and the customizability of the game is great for advanced players. My only problem with it is that it does not let me use my two side buttons on the Microsoft Explorer Mouse for anything, it recognizes the buttons as being the same as 'ALT' in the keyboard. Wierd. Wheel support in UT is great too - Shuffle weapons back and forth - in Quake, that functionality is a bit awkward. Again, in Daikatana, it's even worse. Next, speed. Performance wise, UT does need a good machine, but it doesn't need the BEST machine. I run UT fine on a PIII 500 with FireGL Pro 1000 and 128MB RAM. My other machine, a Dual Pentium Pro 200 with a Voodoo 3 and also 128MB RAM runs UT great as well. If you are considering purchasing a first person shooter right now, Unreal Tournament is the best thing out there right now.

By far the best first person shooter

An excellent example of how to make a first person shooter that can finally challenge the Quake series. This is one of the best in graphics, sound, gameplay, and ease of finding a server you want to play on. Another benefit is you don't have to upgrade it to play one of the many styles of games! They are all there! I can't wait until I get mine so I don't have to play the demo anymore! If you want an excellent first person shooter game, this is it! Look no more!

What first-person shooters are all about.

This game is great...surrendering to the fact that "Yes, we are all trying to be a better version of Doom" and putting out to us what we want: no cheesy story line; in this, you deathmatch. It runs really, really good on my machine, and I've got a 200 mhz pentium w/ mmx, and 64 megs of ram. (The guy with the powerhouse down below must have a million tsr's runnin, cause he should be whuppin with that game.) Engine is suped up nice, the weapons are very, very nice (highly detailed and fun to use), and the control is sharp. One thing that's missing: a character editor. I want to paste my face on my guy and warp the wireframe to look like me in an easy to use interface, and not hack it in through 3dsmax. They promised that for next time though. =)

The ultimate 3D shooter!

Four months ago I received the demo of UT. It was the demo I ever tried but it was only a taste of what Unreal Tornament have. By the time I got the full version I got Q3 Arena, UT was twice as good as Q3 Arena.UT have better graphics than Q3 and the fun rating just continues to rise. Almost every weapon have Primary and seconday fire. The weapons is everything from a pistol to a nuclear missle. The different game styles are Deathmatch (shoot at everything that moves in a short time), Team Deathmatch (the same as Deathmatch but in teams), Domination (take over bases) Capture the flag (just as it sounds), Assault (first assault the base, then defend it) and Challenge (die when you are hit). My best weapon is The REDEEMER. The bots (computer players) are very smart in the hardest difficulties (Masterful, Inhuman and Godlike) but in the lower (Novice and Average) they are vewry easy to beat. In the last map (HyperBlast) you will meat the master (Xan), he is the smartes bot in the game even in Novice and Average. To beat him make sure that you always have a shield belt and Invisibility. If you have them you would probably beat him after a few tries.

Unreal T. just brought that beaten horse back to life!

I have to say it...I LOVE BOTH QUAKE 3 and UNREAL T! But I will have to give the nod to Unreal here. 6 of my friends and I play the demo off of the CD-Rom on a PII-350 on a lan connection...it rocks! It is a hard a** game made for campers, chasers, snipers, and bombarders. Grab a copy for your old '86 Mac, Unreal T. might run on it!

I love this game!

Unreal Tournament has become my favorite. Ever since the days of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake II, I have been looking for a game to become my new fave, and UT is the one for me!

I love the variation in game play, that it came ready to play those out of the box, and that the bots are so life-like. I really thought Q3 would be the game I would want between the two, but after trying both UT came out the winner.

The play is so smooth and perfect, but I must confess I have great hardware: A p3/500 with 128 MB or RAM, Voodoo 2-based card, and a DSL connection.

The ability to hop on line so easily makes the game easy to enjoy, and the maps coming out all the time just add to the fun. Almost every night after a hard day coding, I hop on line for a little UT. The stress just melts away.

It is hard to see how this game could be improved. Maybe fancier scenery, but the play is what it is all about in the end, and UT has that down cold. I went back to see some games that probably inspired UT, like Tribes I, but it really comes up lacking compared to the perfection of UT. Get this game, you will love it.

A Terrific First Person Shooter For Anyone

I hate first person shooters. I really do.

Except this one.

Why? Well, Unreal Tournament is hardly the traditional first person shooter of "blast everything to pieces and maybe you'll survive". Sure, it starts like that, just like every other shooter ought to in order to familiarize you with the control system and interface, but immediately thereafter you begin to see that with game modes like Capture the Flag, Domination, and Assault, things are entirely different.

Strategy becomes an enormous factor in playing this game, purely because your objectives will often require teamwork. The game has made this easy by providing you with the ability to individually change each of your robotic teammates' AI. Better yet: play with your friends via the internet (NOTE: internet play is extremely laggy, so i wouldnt recommend even trying it without a broadband connection of some kind).

The graphics are decidedly sharp for a low-polygon count game, and the lighting and textures are superb. Animation and other movement is actually somewhat realistic, and its nice to see that things are finally changing in the world of FPS.

And I thought the First-Person-Shooter was dead. Not!

After playing Doom, Quake, and all the clones, I was certain the First-Person-Shooter was dead. Not so, I must admit. This game is absolutely wonderful. Great weapons, extraordinary level design, beautifully detailed graphics, and multiple game features make this game one of the best of all time.

The Assault mode, which pits you against another team, bots or humans, is the pinnacle of this game. You join a team of several players and have specific goals to accomplish. In the first Assault map, you must infiltrate a boat sitting in a harbor, blow up the main power plant within the boat, then make your way to the top of the boat and push a button that will turn the ship's guns and blow up a gate to let you out. The other team has five minutes to hold you off. If you succeed in reaching your goals, you then become the defending team and have to keep the attacking team from reaching the same goal in less time than it took you and your team to do it.

Classic deathmatch and Capture the Flag are also included, with several maps included. You also have a mode called "Domination" where you must dominate certain locations of the map. The more locations you control, the higher your team score goes. The first team to 100 wins.

Move over Quake 3 and all you other clones. Unreal Tournament is the new standard.

I want!

OH! I never thought I'd get into the first person action games again. I quite a while back when Wolfenstein came out. A friend was playing this and I loved the graphix so much, that I asked where I could get a copy. I dled the Demo and on the weekends, you could hear me screaming at the bots from a block away. I'm hoping someone gets me the actual game for christmas, but if not, I'll buy it the day after! The only good thing about checks! Happy holidays!

Move over Quake & Half Life, thereýs a new kid in town, UT!
