By far the best first person shooter

An excellent example of how to make a first person shooter that can finally challenge the Quake series. This is one of the best in graphics, sound, gameplay, and ease of finding a server you want to play on. Another benefit is you don't have to upgrade it to play one of the many styles of games! They are all there! I can't wait until I get mine so I don't have to play the demo anymore! If you want an excellent first person shooter game, this is it! Look no more!

Move over Quake3 Arena here is Unreal Tournament !

Look here it is in a nutshell quake was the standard but it got old .....unreal tourny breathes new life into this format of game . Intense maps, Powerful Weapons, And many variations of the deathmatch genre. A cool voice messaging Feature allows you to send canned voice commands to taunt your enemys or command teamates. The bots in single player have adjustable skill levels and are quite good for computer AI, and deathmatch code seems fairly good as well allowing for pretty reliable connections via internet. I've been a big quake ,doom multiplayer for many years and i am quite impressed with this game,it is a MUST buy for fans of the first person shooter....

this game is so awesome and i only have a demo for it

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.

Unreal Tourney-By far, the largest surprise this year

Ok, let's get a few things straight. First, I am a huge gamer (love Mob rule, AOE2, Freespace 2, Homeworld, all Quakes, etc., etc.). Secondly, I absolutely HATED the normal Unreal game. However, in UT, the graphics and sound surpass any game I have found (and the system requirements aren't that big either). Plus, if you are disappointed with your high pings due to your 56 K modem, DONT PLAY ONLINE! The bots (computer controlled players) are so realistic and so configurable, that a single player deathmatch actually sounds appealing. Plus, you don't immediately have access to all arenas in single player mode. You have to be the best and work your way up. 5 different modes of play mean that you will never be bored. I'm going to pre-order this sucker today, and you should too!

Move over Quake & Half Life, thereýs a new kid in town, UT!

Unreal Tournament is simply the best FPS to date. With Unreal Tournaments great graphics and environments not to mentions the interfaces ease of use, will ensure it's standing to be one of the all time favorites to come! A must have for any FPS fan!

Too bad UT comes out so close to final exams...

I downloaded the latest Quake3test and unreal tournament at about the same time. So far, I've spent about 1 to 1.5 hours playing the Quake3test. I've spent 70+ hours playing UT. I'd say that quake3 gives UT a run for its money visually, but UT is so much more fun. UT is so many games in one, deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF - which Quake3 has, but also domination, Last Man Standing, and my personal favorite InstaGib! In the full version of UT there is also an Assault game, (i.e. Saving Private Ryan). Plus it keeps a detailed database of stats for your player names and the bots you compete against. There are plenty of adjustable features like gravity, how many powerups, respawing, etc. Playing against bots even is fun, and UT seems so much more alive when you have live chatter flying back and forth between bots, etc. To sum it up, you'll still be playing UT long after your other deathmatch games begin collecting dust on the shelf.

Not impressed...

I'm not at all impressed by Unreal Tournament. It isn't a bad game by no means. Although, I didn't find the game half as Quake 3 is. It does have a lot of features, and both the graphics and interface are nice. But it just seems like the exact same game to me with updated visuals and some new modes. Only get this if you were a fan of Unreal, not a just a fan of multiplayer first-person shooter. It plays and looks too much like Unreal, it's not much of an improvement. It is cheap though.

I am now a believer!

When my friend told me to download the UT demo I laughed. I already loved Quake 3 Arena test and Epic's past performances have been less than epic. So why take the time to download it? Anyway, I finally did and it was incredible. The demo itself offers 3 types of play CTF, Domination, and straight deathmatch and the finished version adds last man standing and assault. The bots act as human players would going for health when needed, searching for the best weapon, etc. There is also a bot difficulty level for any type of gamer from novice t god-like. Two things really set UT apart from Q3TA. First, the single player mode that is offered is unparreled and secondly the level design on Q3TA is quite bland where as the levels in UT are ingenious. I purchased the game the day it came out(11/22/99) and have played the heck out of it over Thanksgiving Break and I can honetly say I have not grown tired of the game something that happens entirely too often with most games for me. I guess it comes down to this. Will I buy Ouake 3 Arena when it comes out in early December? Most likely. Will it be better? I am not sure, but if the UT demo and full game are any indicator it may be a long Christmas Holidays for Quake 3 Arena and the guys at id.

And you thought FPS games were dying...

With games like Team Fortress, Starseige Tribes, Rogue Spear all involving and emphasizing teamplay over the solitary deathmatching offered by games like Quake, it was very wise for Unreal Tournament to include a blend of both. The game, visually is mighty impressive (I've seen nothing that comes close to it so far). Everything from the smoke and lighting effects to the detailed textures of the walls screams quality. Unfortunately, in order to fully appreciate the lush visuals, a pretty hefty 3d card would be recommended. UT gives gamers many modes of play such as the regular deathmatch, a Capture the Flag mode, and a 'territorial' game in which you try to protect a certain area, the longer you hold out, the more points your team accumulates. Furthermore, the game runs fine on the Internet, granted that you have a 56K modem or better. If you crave intense shoot'em up action, Unreal will be for you. On a final note, the requirements for this game are quite high. I have a TnT2 Ultra video card stuffed in with a Pentium 3 550mhz computer and still saw some slowdowns. So, if you have the computer and some spare time, check this game out...you shouldn't be dissappointed.
