I just bought this game and I think it is extremely hard to control the guy running around and shooting. Maybe I just need to play it more but its pretty hard to control. So if you are one of those people who dont have very good coordination, dont buy this game.

UT flunks on the PS2

I bought UT for the PC and played that game to death. When I bought my PS2, since I like FPS, I decided to rent Unreal Tournament for the PS2. Let me say this: whenever PC games move over to consoles, they fail 99% of the time, and this is no exception.

The graphics are horrendous for a PS2 game, unlike the PC version, these graphics seem muddy and unclear. The other falling points of this game are the lack of levels and characters, and no on-line play is the final nail in the coffin. Buy Timesplitters or the PC Unreal, save yourself from this turkey.

The Halo for the PS2!!!!

This game is possible the best FPS ever!This game is all about teamwork with your buddies or you could blow an enemy to pieces.
If your like me and like games that have an awsome multiplayer mode,this game is your piece of cake brother!!This game is so fast and furious,it'll blow you away!You can be a human or a bot,I usally am a bot.You can even us a USB key board and mouse,how cool is that!!!Not only can you play up to four players,if your buddie has the game and you 11other friends,you can linke 2 PS2's together and 12 people can play at the same time!!!!There is also a cool story mode but it mainly increases your multiplayer mode.This is the perfect game to play with your buddies or enemy's...Go out and get UT!!!!!

It may have been amazing on the PC, but for PS2...

Unreal Tournament may have done well on the PC, but for PS2, it seems dull and uninteresting. Although you can confiugure the controls to slightly resemble any other PS FPS game, they do not have the configuribility (I think I just made that word up) that Timesplitters has, and with my backwards lefthandedness (now I am pretty sure you won't find that one in the dictionary) controller configurability is an esential. Once you get used to what the controls do, you still have to deal with the speed of the game. I know that it is more realistic to have people die when you shoot them, but one shot virtually decimating your health just means that you are going to spend half of the game trying to get weapons because someone shot you in the face when you were looking for a weapon, because you died when you were looking for weapons. Sound a bit repetitive? Well, this game is repetitive.

Another feature this game is missing, that I much enjoy is the ability to choose bots, not just four or five different skill levels, but really being able to pick who they are, and their individual skill levels.

If you are unlike me, and don't happen to mind a limited control over your game, maybe you will like this game, but may I also point out that several of the positive reviews for this game are for the PC version. Something is apparently lacking from the PS2 version, and since I have never played the PC version, I am unable to tell you what the certain something is.

BIG disapointment

I was reading reviews about this game, checking websites, and thinking this game was gonna be great. I rented it one weekend and it was a huge disapointment. I've seen better graphics on a 64, and theres only about 8 guns! it was so boring after 10 minutes. do not buy this game unless you have rented it first and have liked it.

Not as good as the computer version.

This game plays much the same as it's PC counterpart except the graphics are a little blurry and dark. It plays a little slow and needs a keyboard and mouse in order to play acceptably. The standard controller will take a lot of practice in order to match the play of the mouse/keyboard combination. If you have it on your computer, stick with it.

Great game for children!

I would highly recommend this game for children between the ages of 5-12. You have to solve math problems that aliens give you while going through their complex underground dungeon. It is very educational but received a Mature rating because some of the math problems get very hard towards the end (algebra, etc). Also recommended for younger audiences : Grand Theft Auto III.

Great Game, but get it on the Mac or PC if possible

When i first got unreal tournament, I was eager to pop in the CD. After popping in the CD I went straight to the multi-player to play with my brother. As with all non-internet multiplayer games, I was disappointed because when I hid somewhere with the sniper rifle, my brother just looked on my screen and he could see where i was. Not that bad of a draw back considering I chased him with the guided-missle from my redeemer a few times and that was very fun.

About single Player, I found single player realtively easy (even though I cant beat the last assault mission, but that mission is impossible =P) to beat. In about two days of about 3 hours a day, I had won all the championships except for the assault championship, which I had completed to the last mission.

Also, another fun aspect of multiplayer that makes up for the non-internet function is the fact that you can get bots to play against. I found myself using these a lot with my brother, since he's so easy to beat.

Overall, I would get this game only if you can't get it for your computer. If you can get it for your computer then what are you waitng for! Haul you lazy-self to the nearest computer shop or buy it off this site! It's so much better on the computer (my friend has it and I envy him).

Oh yea, i almost forgot. A really fun game style/scenario thingy that me and my friends play is we get a redeemer and we both type in the unlimited ammo cheat. This is so much fun, just pop-shooting with nuke launchers, what can be better than that?

I'm a believer!

When id announced that Quake 3 was going to be "multiplayer only" I thought to myself, "Well, there's =one= FPS I'm not getting." I don't multiplay much at all, and almost never on-line. (And to be honest, since Duke Nukem 3D introduced the whole looking-up-and-down element to FPSes, I'd found more frustration in playing them than fun.)

When Quake 3 came out, I downloaded the demo, along with Epic's contender Unreal Tournament. Quake 3 looks better, though whether that's a matter of taste or Carmack's magic with graphics engines, I don't know. But id was keeping their product aggressively out of the bargain bin. And there was UT. Everyone said it was better, even if the demo had left me cold, so I thought, "I'll buy the full product and see how it goes."

Wow.

What a blast.

I don't think the UT demo did it justice. The weapons are great. The variations on out-and-out deathmatch are great: domination (where you have to hold certain points on the map), capture-the-flag (where you have to get the enemy's flag and return it to your base), and assault (mission-based attacks). And some really challenging "challenge levels". I don't miss the "plot" at all.

What makes this work for me better than Q3 is the bots. You can start at the easiest level, and work up, and the bots will get progressively harder to beat. (Q3 seems to go from "really easy to beat" to "impossible to beat", which is frustrating.)

The only thing I'd knock half-a-star off for is setting up the multiplayer. In Q3, it was just a matter of a couple of intuitive clicks. In UT, there are couple of things you have to do that were far from counter-intuitive. I never =could= make UT multiplayer work unless I made one machine on the LAN a dedicated server. (I'm going to assume that's my fault since I can't find anyone else who's had the problem.)

Anyway, UT definitely put the fun back in FPS for me. I'll be looking forward to UT 2003.
