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.
A horrendous game you cannot play!

I have played this game for PC years ago and it was fun and as a matter of fact it was alot better than PS2. Now don't get me wrong I would give this game a much better rating if I can atleast control the characters control movements but this ps2 version is a massive ripoff because you can berely control the characters you don't know which buttons to push to make the characters move or shoot and the option mode was absolutely no help at all.
And that's all I know and give this a bad rating review and the graphics and music I don't care too much about that.
Please don't waste your money on this piece of junk it's not really worth it.
I returned this piece of junk game for an exchange for castlevania lament of innocence instead and that game was fun.
Buy that game instead of this game you will love it and thank me for it.
Stay away from this game!
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.
Good game, but...

compared to it's PC brethren, this title is sorely lacking.
No online play = no fun without multi-tap and 3 extra dual shock 2's...
Ugly graphics compared to PC, or even fellow PS2 First Person Shooter: TimeSplitters.
Slowdown. Lots of it. Especially in multiplayer. Do not play with more than one other person or you will experience some serious slowdown. It's not so bad that you CANNOT play it, but it is very frustrating considering how powerful PS2 is! You shouldn't have to put up with slowdown with this kind of machine. If you've played Perfect Dark, the slowdown is comparable to that game in 4 player mode.
Horrendous controls. The game gives me a migraine every time I play it because for some reason the controls aren't fully customizable....
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.
Not a good console game

When you think Unreal Tournament you should think of a PC and not a console system. While FPS games have a chance on the console, just think about 007 for the N64, it's difficult to make a winner on the console experience. Unfortunately, UT does not make it into winner mode.
Play control isn't bad. There are a fixed number of pre-set ways you can configure the controller, and not everyone will find one that's acceptable. I prefer setting J which makes it almost identical Oni style controls and seems to me to be the emerging standard control for first-person games.
The multiplayer mode has too many problems to make this game enough fun. The levels are all pretty small and pretty simple. There's no network play (though you can hook two PS2s together with an i-Link for 8 player fun), so you'll pretty much max out at 4 people on a split screen forced to use the controllers.
If you're looking for a good multi-player FPS, I'd save your money. It's only a matter of time before some company makes one. It takes a little patience.

Terrible terrible terrible... very very dissapointed with sony. I actually bought this game for ps2 even tho i had it for the pc. The graphics r terrible, the controls r demented, and it is no fun without playing it with atleast 10 people in the same map with people all over the world, which is a very lacking point of this game.. dont waste your money and time buying this game... get it for the computer... it is cheaper than this one, it's still played, and is a great game... the pc game is a classic, the ps2 one is no more worth a pecan's droppings.
Still the best online game..

When I got this game for my birthday, I wasn't really happy; I had no internetconnection to play the game online. But as soon as I installed the game, I came to the conclusion that this game rocks even offline. The AI is very adjustable, and it just looks like you are playing online. If you buy this product, you will play it forever...
Hard to control

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.
OK, but hard to control

I really loved Unreal Tournament for the PC, so I was excited to see it come out in PS2 format. I was impressed with how close the PS2 version was to the PC version, but extremely disappointed with how difficult it is to control the character.
First Person Shooters, are, after all, about moving your character around and killing the opposition, and it is just too difficult to control your character using the PS2 controllers.
