There's nothing more to say. It seems that the authors took the current bland Quake 3 tests and gave life back to the multiplayer first person shooters.

Do you want a game of 1Gb ?

Yes, that's the size of it fully installed! Ok, it's cool and all, but not that much different to justify this huge size. I liked a lot DF 1 (not DF2) , Hidden and Dangerous in spite of the crashes, Swat 3 etc, but this is just a Doom improved. It's also hard to configure even in my Pentium II 333 with 96 ram and Viper 770 32Mb. I don't recommend.

UT Ownz Q3.... sort of.

For those of you who like 3D Action games for the lighting-fast deathmatch play, UT will not disappoint. I enjoyed playing the bots several times, on varying skill levels. However, once I finished Assault mode and Deathmatch, I was left realizing what is missing from UT and Q3A: depth. There is no depth to either game. The flimsy backstories are Mortal Kombat-esque justifications... insufficient plot, insufficient single-player experience. Legend Entertainment has already proven that single player action is not dead with the Wheel of Time, so why have Epic and Id abandoned it? For a much more engrossing online gaming experience, try the Team Fortress Classic mod for Half-Life. And then, if you're really feeling brave, go get Quake1 and Quake2 and explore the wealth of awesome multiplay mods out there. UT will only fulfill for so long.

Hard to install, harder to troubleshoot

This game has been a real pain to get up and running. The error messages are obscure and meaningless (unless you're a hacker or a geek), the documentation is targeted to engineers, and the web support link again makes huge assumptions about the technical ability of the end user. HELLO! Do not make me dive into the innards of my PCs operating system to play your game, or at least make it easy for me to reconfigure what's necessary. Unless you spend your waking hours coding, I would keep clear of this game.

WORST GAME EVER... DON'T BUY THIS TRASH

This game is slow even for my P3-650 machine, and the graphics totally suck. Level designs are very dull and uncreative, and this is just another lame commercial game. This game has several dissapointing features. First, like I've mentioned b4, the graphics... UT engine is one of the worst engine ever created! If you think UT's graphics are good, then that means you saw too much eye candy... As for the bots...only two player mods with boring skin texture? Ok, the AL of the bots are better than Q3, but the bot models also lack creativity. And they get boring just after a first glance. Weapons...better than Q3, but very unoriginal. The only weapon that can be considered original is the sniper... The rest are just a set of lame toys. And for the biggest part...Gameplay. Yes, UT has a large variety of uninteresting gameplay. And for multiplay, this game has the worst multiplay ever... You need a super fast connection... And you'll get bored after 10 minutes of multiplay... I can't understand why people thinks this extremely commercialized game is so good... It has no extreme action, gore, and technically fantastic game engine. This game is for lame people who likes commercialized games or dull action and eye candy... Well, for the huge UT fans, enjoy yourself with this trash. You will all realize that something big is coming... And you were enjoying trash... Well, I don't blame you for that though :)

A decent game, but overrated

One word comes to mind when I think of UT. That is "throwback". The level design is reminiscent of Quake 2. The rocket launcher looks very similar. The female characters with their hair waving look the same as those in Q2. Health and armor do not diminish over time, also as in Q2 (changed for Q3, for a number of reasons). Epic took a formula that worked, and made another game out of it, using an old (but still pretty) game engine. if you want to unwind and have a good time, fire up Unreal Tournament and join a laggy server (I have a T3 connection. With Q3 i get dozens of servers under a ping of 40 ms. With UT, the best i can ever find is 80 something), or create a botmatch. That's really the most fun you'll have with this game. If you want a game that will really last, and one that you can feel yourself improving in, and take a bit more pride out of the first time you win a game, buy Q3.

This game stinks

This game is one of the worst game I've ever seen in years! I know that I'll get a lot of angry reviewers against me, but I don't care. The reason I hate this game so much is because I need a killer machine and super-speed-connection to run this boring game smoothly, and the graphics and sounds aren't great at all...bunch of lame, boring game features, uninteresting multiplay, simple textures, simple maps(having lots of maps doesn't means that this has the best maps)...This game is complete trash! Don't waste your money on this, buy diablo ll instead...

sigh..lets get some things straight..any game variation that UT so proudly boasts exists as a quake 3 mod..if its worth playing in the first place..UT's graphics are NOT better than quake 3's both admittedly from reviewers(even those who prefer UT) and also because of the fact that they lack geometric curves which is a necessary aspect for newer 3d realism..also, what's up with the pathetic internet code? and why does it require a beta direct x file to handle the geforce card? notice the low polygon count on the models? why do the space graphics look like huge 2 dimensional BMP files? happy UT owners are most likely just bad quake players *happy fragging*

I got both UT and Q3A for christmas and was more excited to play UT. I booted it up and started playing and about 20 minutes later uninstalled it and put Q3A in. Trust me-Quake 3 Arena is much better, dont waste you money.

Owned by Quake III

OK. This game is mediocre in multiplayer... but only in CTF. The deathmatch is awful, and the other lame mods that come with it are worse. Aside from sniping on the Face map, the only use for this game on my computer has been single player sniping on custom maps. While all of the newcomers to the FPS genre have been hailing this game soley because of the great AI (I'll give it that much) you should notice that most of the professional compitetitions take place with Quake III, a game that takes skills such as aim and quickness.

Now there are some pretty cool things about Unreal Tourney. For one, the maps are outstanding. The AI is the best in the industry, as I have already said, but single player can only go so far... and just because the bots are smart, doesn't mean they are good, even in Godlike.

I've been playing the Quake series for years, and until Doom 2000 comes out, I doubt any game designers will be able to match John Carmack's coding skills. If you want an FPS game that never gets old, stick with the company that eats, breathes and sleeps this gametype, id Software.
