Unreal tournament is extremely fun and is chock full of great game features and levels. I wouldn't dare buy quake 3 after playing this, don't need to.(Currently Unreal tournament is #9 on the PC game buyers list, Quake 3 is #18) That right there should tell you something.

Excellence in Online Gaming

I've logged many hours of online gaming and UT gets my reluctant nod for game of the year. I love John Carmack and the rest of the id guys, but Epic has created software worthy of their name. UT is the new standard bearer because of its diverse gameplay and fabulous Online gaming interface.

I love Capture The Flag (Q2CTF and LMCTF) and other team games, but don't have the time to DL mods and waste time configuring them to work w/ GameSpy, etc. UT wraps GameSpy functionality and online gaming into one easy-to-use package complete w/ all the great things I love about Q2CTF games: voice radio messages, team play, and lots of explosions. It also gets rid of Q's tedious config files, offering a slick GUI for setting gameplay environment variables, although the console is there for the hardcore tweaking.

You have heard that the UT bots are great, and they are. So are the weapons. Sure, the GFX may not be quite as curvacious as Q3A, but to me, the flawless experience of UT's online gaming makes it the clear winner. User experience and user interface matter, and UT have them. In 15 minutes you can get online, find a server and play several rounds of CTF. What more could you want?

So much fun!

Unreal Tournament is an exciting and fluent first-person shooter that exemplifies technical excellence in any game of its nature. Unlike Quake III, the action is not limited to a single deathmatch; rather, it has five different types of gameplay styles that make Unreal Tournament a much more entertaining and compelling experience. Unreal Tournament is a satisfying game that is compelling and tense, resulting in a game worthy of high praise.

Unreal Tournament has no need for a story. It's no-fuss interface allows the game-player to immediately launch themselves into the 'Unreal Tournament'- a futuristic fight-to-the-death. Initially you are only able to play deathmatch, but as more scenarios are completed, four other game formats are introduced. There's 'capture the flag', in which you lead a team of fighters in an attempt to capture the opposing team's flag, all while defending your own. Following that, there's 'domination', a somewhat boring format that has your team controlling as many 'point scorers' as possible in order to amass your growing total to a winning score. The most exciting format is 'assault', whereby your team infiltrates either a submarine or a moving train, or whatever, in order to satisfy a number of mission objectives, all under a given time period. Following that, you graduate on to a really hard version of death-match that provides most of Unreal Tournament's frustration.

Technically, Unreal Tournament is flawless. It's seamless graphics engine culminates with a fluent, easily maneuverable first-person perspective, allowing the player to navigate through the catacombs of each scenario with relative ease. Also, the sound quality is very good, especially with Creative Environmental Audio: you can hear missiles travelling from one speaker to the next, sniper bullets whizzing past your ear or the footsteps of an enemy coming closer.

The weapons in Unreal Tournament are varied and numerous. Unlike Quake III, each weapon features an 'alternative fire' option, such as multiple rockets fired simultaneously or a concentrated ball of shotgun fire, rather than the regular spread-shot. Weapon such as the sniper rifle or the 'Ripper', a gun that fires razorblades at high speeds, creates a unique experience that leaves Quake III for dead.

Altogether Unreal Tournament is a really exciting game that is multi-faceted and technically flawless. Its breadth, ease of use and nail-biting excitement culminates to create the most entertaining 3D shooter on the market. Forget Quake III- get Unreal Tournament. It's a winner!

Very Good Game..

I own Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.. I like both.. But Unreal is about 10 times better. The single player in UT is actually fun to play. The Multiplayer is FANTASTIC...advised you have a fast connection. The graphics are great and it even runs on older machines. Tons of weapons.... Great game modes.... The bots are very smart and fun to play with. This game is WAY more team oriented than Q3 and actaully involves STRATEGY. Fantastic game..one of my very favorite games....GO BUY IT!

wow

As a fan of any type of video game, I was told by a friend that this was a good game. So i picked it up, and I was not dissappointed. Yes its true its sensless killing buts thats only deathmatch there are 3 different type of game play. deathmatch(sensless but fun killing) domination(checkpoint) and Capture the flag(the flag the flag!). Unreal tournament has no campaign style playing the single player is multiplayer with bots instead of people. This game is very addictive and with an array of weapons and levels one of the best FPS's out there.

Hands Down The Best

Is UT worth it???

Here we go again, same old game, same old graphics, just another FPS, right? Well, you got the FPS part down, but it's so much more than that. You've got incredible bot AI, customizable down to the last detail, excellent graphics, nice sound and intriguing levels to play on. Throw the ability to play on the net into the mix and you've got Unreal Tournament. Quake 3's boring, gothic levels and gameplay can't even compare to what UT has to offer. Many modes of play ranging from good ol' Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, plus new game modes like Domination and Assault, you really can't lose. Not to worry, there are plenty of weapons to keep you glued to your seat while fragging the living daylights out of your opponent. Best of all, you don't need a top-of-the-line system to play UT and a 56k modem is sufficient (expect a little lag) to play this baby online. So, stop reading this and pick up your own copy. Trust me, you'll have a blast playing this one! LONG LIVE UNREAL TOURNAMENT!!!

Released at the same time as the similar 'Quake 3', everybody was expecting this to be terrible. The original 'Unreal' was very nice to look at, but not much fun to play, and 'Tournament' seemed to be a rush-released attempt at stealing some of 'Quake 3's multiplayer-only thunder. Surprisingly, it's none of those things - it looks wonderful, and has some nice music, but best of all it's extremely good fun to play. Even if you don't play against real people (something I can't do, as it's impractical in the UK), the single-player mode is worth the price of the game alone. The AI, although still recognisably artificial, is balanced superbly - your AI team-mates are good enough to fight for themselves, whilst your opponents use varied strategies and aren't flawlessly perfect. The more advanced bots are inhumanly good, but still mortal, which is a nice touch.

There isn't really much to choose between this and 'Quake 3' - 'Tournament' is more varied, with five different game types ('Domination', which is vaguely similar to the video game from 'Never Say Never Again', is a particularly good one), but the weapon types seem weedier than those in 'Quake 3', and the latter game has more of a following.

As with 'Unreal', the game is technically stunning - it looks amazing, has some cheesy, fun music, and runs quickly on a normal machine (a Celeron 300A with a Voodoo3 is more than enough). Best of all, they got it pretty much right first time - given that 'Unreal' was released half-finished, the only patch so far is a small download, and fixes a few minor bugs.

Hard to believe Quake killer

I have been a loyal, loyal Quake fan for years, but Unreal Tournament has captured my interest now. Quake III was, IMO, just another Quake release, another shoot-em-up. UT, however, is an exciting, almost revolutionary, new twist on the FPG. With great alternate games like Assault and Domination and extra FREE maps released by the folks who created Unreal, this game is a MUST HAVE for anyone who likes first-person games. Great weapons and shooting modes, fun maps, and different game-types make this an endless amount of fun! Please purchase this one!

Also, check out the Tournament stats where every kill, weapon accuracy, and game-statistic you can think of is logged and detailed in a Web Site which you can generate at will!
