Unreal Tournament takes the Trophy

Well, I got the DEMO (like a shortened version of a game) of Unreal Tournament. I played it a few times, and it was spectacular. The graphics were very stunning.

The next day my friend's brother got Quake III. There were many disadvantages in this game. First, the loading time took forever. Second, the graphics were very "simple" with no realistic feel. The weapons looked too cartoony. My friend's brother went to return the game immediately. ;)

Everything's so rite...

everything's done rite with this game, graphics is eye candy, atmospherical yet runs smoothly on average system; weapons are ALOT of phun and very well banlanced (hand gun can often take out opponent with rocket luncher when used rite); AI's extremly human like, with kewl character models; and u can't really ask for better level design and game types. it's hard to see how anyone can out done this game in the FPS multiplayer genre.

This game looks great!

I don't know why, though, but on my 300MHz system with 128MB of RAM running Windows NT, I kid you not - this game takes TEN MINUTES to load, and several minutes to load each level. Eventually after it caches everything you can play pretty smoothly, but I had to turn down the resolution and detail levels to get acceptable performance. I keep thinking something must be wrong with my system, but I can play Half-Life - and the original Unreal - just fine.

You'll grin.

Buy the game. Thats all i really have to say. Take my word for it, once you sit down with this, you'll find yourself either an estatic hardcore fragger or a "sophisticated" gamer, grinning ear to ear despite telling yourself you hate these bloodfest games. Its just that fun. And yes, the graphics are second to none, and yes, to get the full effect, i suppose to you need some pretty heavy duty hardware, i run it on a properly memory/cache tuned PII 450, 128mb RAM, w/a 16mb Velocity 4400 and a 12mb VooDoo2 and noticed no slowdown at all. But this game ain't just eye candy...Internet play is *nice*, even on my hokey 56k modem. You'll be begging your friends to get the game too. You get an excellent single player slaughterhouse game (great for relieving office stress!), and get a few buddies in the game plus a comm program like Roger Wilco? Get ready for some pure vanilla, special ops style tail whuppin'.

An objective view from an old Ut player

Some of the reviews above suggest a monster machine to run this game, a good PII with a good graphics card (vodoo 2 - 12 mb and above) will provide you with nice gameplay. The biggest bore in FPS is running around endless corridors, UT has the graphics engine to run games in quite spectacular and open arenas. The game itself played OFF the internet is a lot of fun with a lot of different ways of playing. I have seen a couple of very minor glitches in the AI of the bots on a couple of maps, which will be fixed in a patch shortly I hear. Q3A isn't on the shelves yet so I can't compare, but certainly to date UT is by a very long way the most impressive FPS you can find, I suspect that only the most demanding and experienced player will find any fault with it at all. Overall very enjoyable, great graphics, sounds, and plenty of versions of gameplay with AI on the bots you can tweak makes for many hours of fun.

A very good shooter game!

Buy this game, no matter what the price. This game has all the assets of a good first-person shooter, weapons with different strengths and weakness, fast paced, different modes of play, and YOU CAN ACTUALLY DUCK, JUMP IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND MOVE SIDEWAYS WITHOUT TURNING, unlike Doom and some other FPS games. Playing online is always fun, and network play is just incredible. Although it has a little more violence than I want it to be, it's still great! I had to give it 4 stars for a couple of small mishaps about the game, nothing major nor irratating, but can bother you at certain times. I have the fastest processor on the market, a 1GHz AMD Athlon with 200 MHz motherboard, a very quick and good 64MB graphics card, and 384 MB of RAM, use a 72X CD-ROM for the CD and have a 1.5 MB DSL connection (T1) that is around 800KBPS, and I still have frame rate problems and lags during online and single multiplayer games. Another minor glitch is that you need a different driver for in order for the gfx card to work at its full potential, not DirectX. The biggest problem in the game is that the maps are easy to memorize and if you play a while, you can know your way around every map and have a big advantage when playing beginners at the game, and the games can last for up to two hours, because everyone knows where the power ups and the shield belt and etc. are. But anyway, this game is fun, no matter how long the game is.

ADDICTING!!!

If you have little time, a family life and for that mattter, any type of life, do not buy this game!!! You will quickly become a UT addict spending many hours of your life in front of the monitor, destroying your eyes. Loved ones will begin to hate you, unless you get them a CD also.

This game is the best out there. You will be amazed at how addicted you will become. The graphics are amazing, the realism is incredible.

If you do not have a great video card and tons of RAM, do not buy this game. I recommend at least 128MB with a really good video card, at least 16MB of RAM on it.

I play on a 200 MHz with 128MB RAM and and a 64MB Voodoo card. The performance with that system is pretty dam good. Obviously if you have a lot more of any of those devices, you are in great shape. If you are going to play on the net, I recommend playing on the "Bitchslap server". This is probably where you will find the best players. Hope this helps...

Look for me on the above UT server with the alias "MCSE2NV"

King of FPS DM Games .. for now

While the online debate rages as to Q3 versus UT, I would argue that there is room for both.

That being said, if you only had cash to purchase one of the two heavyweights, I would probably recommend this first. Out of the box it offers a more complete gaming experience over the competition with more styles of gameplay and better bot support.

The Ups: Lots of different things to do with this game. Fun maps. If I had to pick one word for UT it would be: FUN. It has a feel that is very unique, but is quite enjoyable. The bots are pretty amazing as well.

The Downs: Not quite as pretty to look at, even with a super-dee-duper video card, as I expected.

Overall: A simply amazing game, considering how much they put into one little box. Lots of fun on line or off. One of my top regulars.

Best part of the game is modifying it.

I have been a deathmatch fan since the days of Doom and a shooter fan since Wof3d but I must say thr UT is my favorite. Everything that comes with UT is fun and great but when you get bored you can download modules to re-invent the game with new types of levels, matches, rules, weapons or anything else the heart desires. I wish every game could do that.
