System Requirements Too high

I bought both UT and QA, and was eager to run them on my 96MB PIII-500 with high speed University LAN connection.

Quake Arena ran really well with all graphics features (except trilinear) turned on at 800x600, and handled more than 12 non-bot players admirably on multiplay. Net connections were smooth at 100 ping.

Unreal Tournament, on the other hand, chugged even on 512x384 with lowest detail settings, and had choppy net play. That's really disappointing considering UT had far more gameplay innovations and cooler features (I love Domination).

The bottom line is: unless you have a 128MB PIII-600 with a Voodoo 3000 (or better), don't buy it.

Nice game, but overrated

Well, I can't deny that this game is a good 3d action first person shooting game, but I didn't enjoyed this game so much. And even though there was a good variety of game features, none of them seemed interesting to me, and the graphics wasn't so cool compared to quake 3. Weapons; probably one of the best variety of weapons for this kinda game, but the sounds [were lacking]. And the lightning effects wasn't so impressive. Bots, cool AL, very impressive; better than Q3. Deathmatch, not so good. Assult and Domination wasn't so fun either. Team Deathmatch and Capture the flag were the best game features in my opinion. Anyways, I'm giving this game one star because this game is too overrated. Anyways, it's a good game; I just don't like this game so much, that's all.

I tried it and would like to know...

How on earth people think this is better than Quake 3. Quake 3 and Unreal are a non comparison. I just feel sorry for the poeple that are wasting their money on this instead of Quake because of all this hype. Terrible game.

Bah humbug

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.

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.

Lame Game...

I have not played the full version of UT, but I can take a guess at what it would be like. I have, however "played" the demo. The reason I put played in quotes is the game was a slug. It seemed to stop to load every three seconds or so. I don't whether it was an issue with my system, but something can definitely be said about a game which loads constantly. Even if the game did work on my computer, I still would not like it. I lknow this because I played a working version (it still loaded too often) at another person's house. There is no storyline and no character involovment. I like a little story to follow along. UT and Quake 3 are the shallowest games I've ever played. All they are is run, shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot. This gets boring nearly immediatly for me.

this game sucks

When I got this game I played it for about 2 days and decided it sucks.
Then after a couple of weeks I played it again because some friends said it was cool. I thought I should give it another chance and I played it with friends, but the game just doesn't appeal to me.
It's quake 1/2/3 for me! (even though 3 was a bit disappointing).
I don't get how everyone just seems to like UT.
This is the game that got me back to playing games that actually have a story.

The one star made you read mine didnt it
