Dreamcast Shooter with depth!

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.

Great port of the PC version!

Unreal Tournament for the Dreamcast rocks! It's got:

- very good graphics, though not as good as Quake III

- 60 (!) levels, most of them are awesome with for example hidden buttons to trigger an object (to ... the enemy ;) and snipingplaces and sneaky corners to surprise the enemy but also great battlefields

- cool music and sound

- great AI, much better than Quake III; when the enemy is hurt he'll retreat and they haven't just got a higher hit% like Quake III but they'll really act smarter if you turn up the difficultylevel

- unreal (had to use this once ;) multiplayer mode: up to 4 players on one Dreamcast with a decent framerate

- ... weapons; both firing in two different ways including a sniper rifle, biosludge gun, chainsaw :) and much more

- subtle auto-aim, enough to make it playable with the Dreamcastcontroller but not too much to spoil the game

Convinced?

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!

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.

The title says it all

One of the best first person shooters on the PC makes its way to the Dreamcast as the best PC to console game yet (next to Quake 3 for the DC). While I still hold Quake 3 higher than Unreal, Unreal has a lot of things that Quake 3 doesn't; your opponents have very good AI, when their low on health they'll run away, and the frame rate is less sluggish than Quake 3. The online multiplayer mode however, is the best online play you'll ever play on the DC. All in all, this is one of the best games available for the Dreamcast, and I strongly suggest picking this up along with Quake 3 and Maken X, two other great first person shooters that will give you a hell of a playing experience.

Addictive and frenzied frag fest

Simply put, Unreal Tournament is one of the few reasons I still play my Dreamcast. As a single player game the only purpose it serves is to prepare you for the online mode, which will steal countless hours of your time away as you sit with your eyes glued to the television loving every mind blowing (yes, decapitated heads bounce across the screen) moment of play. Unreal Tournament marks the peek of the Dreamcast's wonderful life. This game is non-stop action with tons of levels and modes, which I could never get tired of. And what's better is this online play is totally free! As I write this review, the Dremcast has long been considered dead, but there is still plenty of competition on the servers! Buy this one now, it's a truly addictive classic with quality gameplay that will never grow old!

One of the best dc games

I got this game on ebay in a pack with Quake III Arena. They are very similar but Unreal is way better. The cover is sort of decieving though because the chainsaw is only on one level I know of. All weapons have a secondary fire or zoom which makes it way better than Quake. I recommend it to everyone who loves games with a lot of killing. Blood goes everywhere.

This game rocks!!! You can play with bots(computer controlled)and make them hard, or easy. You can tell them what to do too. I think this game is, well, ill just say, the coolest game ever, better then both Halos, better then all of the Quake games, but its true. The levels are great! I like playing capture the flag with the bots, the weapons are cool too! This game was just too good... Buy this game, dont listen to anyone else that talked bad about this game! Just buy it!!!!!!!

You can find this game for about 10 dollars now, and its one of the best, and most entertaining games on Dreamcast. It has provided me hours upon hours of entertainment, and i'm still not tired of it. There are so many weapons like the Chainsaw, Minigun, Pulse Gun, and more. It does get a little bloody, but if your alright with that it wont matter.

Here are some Cheat codes for the game. You hit Pause while you are in a game, put this in with your control pad, and unpause.

INFINITE AMMO:
Left, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left

IMMORTALITY:
Left, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up

REPLENISH HEALTH:
Down, Down, Down, Left, Up, Right

Hope this was helpful!
