Better than Quake 3 in one player mode. Addictive and fun. Of course the multiplayer is good too with 4 player split screen like Goldeneye, it is a party game.

Unreal Tournament is truly a terror to behold

Quake III is amazing!! 30 kickin' levels, tons of creative and/or disgusting characters, great weapons, AMAZING online play w/ Broadband support (out 1/10/01), beautiful graphics and the sweetest multiplayer mode perhaps ever divined to console gaming (4 at once). So how would one go about trying to top this Godfather of first person shooters?

Hmm, let's see. 60-70 levels, even more bizarre personas from which to select, some bent and twisted weapons (Biorifle! Ripper -- that's a razorgun to you!), 4 player splitscreen, 8 player online chaos (also w/ Broadband and keyboard/mouse support), *beautifully* rendered backgrounds, a locked in 30+ framerate, this beats the pants off the PC and PS2 versions of UT available now. If you don't believe the hype, go check out the official UnrealTournament site.

So...with Unreal Tournament and Half-Life (hailed as the BEST GAME EVER) slated for release at roughly the same time, which one do I buy?? The answer is simple: you can flip a coin or BUY 'EM BOTH. But honestly, if you don't have that kind of $$, both teams working on both projects are crafting ports for the DC with LOTS of grisly murdering care, much as Raster did for Q3 and both promise to be amazing playing/feeling/looking games. Half Life caters to my slightly more intellectual and strategic side of the killing experience, and Half-Life dizzies my eye-candy loving butcher's side. You make the call!

When I rented this game, it had a lot of standards to live up to. I am a proud owner of both Quake 3 for Dreamcast, and Unreal Tournament for PC. I can say that this game certainly lives up to the hype, and does its name justice. If you have played the PC version, you may first judge the game by what it does not have. It's graphics arent quite as clean as the PC version's, and it is missing 4 model types (female, Skraaj, Nali, and Nali Warcow). But after playing it for a few minutes, you will forget all of that, and see what it has. The framerate is fairly smooth, and split-screen play doesn't affect it much. The sound is unchanged; all of your favorite taunts are there. The control is a big step up from Quake 3 for Dreamcast. In Quake 3, the controller made it difficult to aim. Unreal Tournament solves that by adding an auto-aim feature. This helps play immensly. But I know you don't care about all of this. You want to know about online play. Well, it is definately very good. Instead of limiting you to for players, up to 8 players can duke it out for dominance. That's right, capture the flag is now playable! It it usually runs very smoothly. I only had one instance of timeout so far, so it is pretty stable. So if your a Dreamcast owner looking for a good FPS, or a Unreal Tournament fan looking for split-screen play or new stages, give Unreal Tournament for Dreamcast a shot.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

The only explanation I have for the great reviews about this game is that these people haven't actually played this veersion yet. The computer version was awesome, the PS2 version OK, and this one is just downright awful. The first few levels play well (at least faster than the PS2), but you can immediatly tell that the animation frames have been lowered significantly. Enemies will be floating in the air when they are standing still, and the moves are really jerky. The real problems begin once you advance to the Capture the Flag and Domination modes, where I swear the frame rate drops to the single digits for entire rounds. This game is completely unacceptable. If you have never played any other version of UT, and haven't played Quake 3 on DC, you MIGHT enjoy this, otherwise, avoid this at all costs and stick with Quake 3!

unreal indeed

This game doesnt have drama, fancy music, nor exquisite story lines, but it does have good graphics, barrels of fun, and lots of excitement. I've played the game in 1 person mode only, but u can play with as many as 4 people or more than that on-line. The basic point of the game is to destroy and kill all others. There are seemingly endless fighting environments, and though at first the environment seems large, u soon become familiar with them and they have a nice layout and good feel. U get an assortment of cool weapons and can choose various skill levels to make it easier or harder depending on what u prefer. This game is just a shootem up game, but u can use strategy if u like a more skillful killing session. My only complaint is that the control buttons could be better programmed, and if they give u an option of choosing different control functions(u get 4 2 choose from) they should have put in the ability to customize the control. Other than that I dont have much 2 complain about. Unreal Tournament is a nice game. It can get extremely fast paced and crazy.

a game worth buying

Ok, here's the bottom line. There are many pros and many cons in this game. They are as follows: PROS: awesome graphics, awesome gameplay, cool weapons, cool music, lots of levels, great sound effects, head shots, online play, good control

CONS: multi-player has less levels, no one-player mode, no assault mode, not enough skins

All in all this game is a great party game or online game. If you are more into one-player games, this may not be a game for you. In my opinion unreal tournament is better than quake 3 which was boring and too fast and confusing. Stick with UT.

Good But not the best!!

This is a pretty fun game. Compared to most of the first person shooters for all of the consoles, this one is right up there with one of the best, behind Bond and Perfect Dark. I read someone else's review of this game and they said the frame rate was really slow. It isn't as fast as most people would like, but it never drops below thirty. Definately not in the single digits.

good on-line game for DC

If you play on-line on your Dreamcast this is a game worth purchasing. On-line gaming is unbelievable. There really is no lag as the game play is quite smooth at all time. I'm not joking. I play NFL2K1 all the time and I experience lag a lot. But, I was very surprised to see there was no lag in UT even with 8 players on line. I have a keyboard and mouse--which I think makes the game much easier to play. My friend uses the controller. He seems to have no problem. It takes a little more time to just get used to it. "Auto aim" makes it easier. I have a lot of fun playing this game.
