Unreal Tournament was a very, very successful FPS game. This is a generation step in quality gameplay and graphics. World designs are superb and superior to it's predecesdor. New weapons add to the excitement and take gameplay to the max. With over 35 new character models from 6 different races, everyone can find that perfect reflection to play as. Class-specific combos, role assignments, and teamwork directives highlight the ever popular cooperative teamplay. Never expect to die the same way twice with the new sophisticated in-game physics. The advanced Unreal Engine delivers the goods, putting gameplay to the max and leaving no eye candy left un-popping.

I read about Unreal Tournament 2003 in p.c. gamer, and i remember promises of 'huge destructible enviroments' and 'a two person skiff'. So far, after purchasing it for 50 bucks, i have seen no signs of either the skiff or the 'huge enviroment.' I'm not p.o.ed about the skiff, but come on, skiffing is my life, if they take away the skiff... what next, THE GUNS. I mean the graphics are great and the gameplay, realistic, but THERES NO SKIFFING. I HAVE BASED MY LIFE AND MY RELIGION AROUND THAT GAME REVIEW, waiting for the game to come out-with a skiff-but alas, no skiff. Where has the world gone when you can promise-but not deliver-the skiff. IS THERE NO END TO THE TORTURE.

Just as addictive as the original

If you are a fan of first person shooters this is the game for you. Unreal Tournament 2003 is set up more like a sporting event than the traditional mission based structure. First and foremost, make sure your system can handle this game and you have a fast enough internet connection. I would recommend a P4 2.0GHz/AMD XP 2100 or greater speed CPU, 512 megs of RAM and a Geforce 4 or better video card for optimal performance. Also you should use a DSL/Cable or greater speed connection.

This game is broken up into 4 different categories. Traditional deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Double Domination, and Bombing Run. Of all of the game types, I think Bombing Run is the best. It's basically soccer where two teams play against each other and there is a ball (bomb) in the middle. The object is to put the bomb in the opponent's goal. If you run it through the goal you get 7 points, if you shoot it in the goal you get 3 points. The game that reaches 21 first wins the match. While holding the bomb you can't use any weapons which calls for your teammates to help support you while you run towards the enemy goal.

UT2003 comes with a full level editor tool, the exact same tool the developers of the game used in designing and building everything. This means that the MOD (modification) community can thrive, and does thrive, in creating new things for the game, be it levels/mutators/or character models. Currently there are thousands of user created maps out there on the internet, some of them quite well designed.

UT2003 is a very fast paced game. If you want realism then I would suggest looking somewhere else, however if you want a fast and fun arcade style game then this is it. Graphically there is no equal to this game right now (Doom 3 will be out in July however!) The 'rag doll' physics of the character models is impressive as well. The character models will actually interact with their environment. For example, if they fall on some stairs the body will be manipulated so that each stair bump will move a body part in the right way.

Finally the learning curve for this game is challenging, and that is a good thing. Throughout various maps there are small tablets called adrenaline that you can collect. You are also awarded adrenaline by fragging an opponent, running through a goal, etc. When it reaches 100 you can do a special combination, such as double your speed for a short time, or become invisible. This can really change the tactics of the team gameplay.

In closing, I highly recommend this game for anyone that is a fan of first person shooters. I didn't go into the other modes, but I'm sure if you know FPS games you have played something similar (especially DM and CTF).

The PIMP game is back for another deathmatch

The first one rocked, and guess what! THIS ONE ROCKS EVEN MORE! improved graphics, tons of new levels, more mutators, more characters=tons of great action! even the demo is the shizznat! Now u 56k'ers out there, u can even play this one online! the improved online engine has some way of predicting players moves, so even with a high ping, you can still play! When you run out of maps if u happen to beat the game, go to google and search for more maps, and play more! Better yet, have ur friends buy the game also and have a LAN party! NOW THAT WOULD BE GREAT! Peace out, buy this game now!

Unreal Tournament 2003 is not as good as the orginal UT. But it is a great game with Excellent level design, graphics, weapon balance, gameplay modes, bot AI and mutliplayer modes with great physics. Just like the first game UT2003 is one of those games that really make the wasted hours, the lost sleep and the money spent upgrading hardware. In the single player game, you can play in Tournament mode. This is a perfect introduction if you're a new player, and if you are an experienced gamer, this mode is useful as a quick tour of the game's maps. Not many changes and needs a powerhouse system but if you are a fan of Quake3 or the orginal Unreal Tournament then Unreal Tournament 2003 is definitely for you.

this game is good but it lags for some reason

I Have broadband connection with a 1.2 AMD pc powered by a radeon 9600 graphic card and the game sometimes lags. Others times when I enter a room a black screen shows up giving a percentage of how long it will take to enter a room and sometime its take up to 2o minutes. Thats a long time even with dsl. I am newly introduced to the series so it will take me a while to get the hang of the multiplayer experience and the game in general.Other than that the game is fun to play. I recommend your get unreal 2004, but you should have a descent computer with a powerful graphics card. oh yeah if you dont have dsl dont bother playing online.

Exciting at first, but dies a quick death

At first this game really blew me away. The graphics and sound are impressive and the gameplay, and weapons in particular, are very cool. The novelty soon wears off though. The game is now gathering dust on my hard drive (hmmmm... I really should get that looked at), and once I completed the single player mode and got tired of multi-player, it didn't look like such a wise investment. I actually don't think the gameplay is particularly interesting long-term, and it all feels pretty "samey" after a while, but that's just my opinion. If you're a multi-player freak and have a good connection, you'll probably get a lot of fun out of playing online, at least for a while.

Nothing extraordinary

I bought this game, and although I am not big on Unreal and Quake and the sort I thought it would be interesting to give it a try.

I just found the concept of blowing up everyone and picking up weapons to be boring. I did try the game...gave it about 2 hours gameplay time, and it just was not enough to keep me entertained.

The graphics are great, the gameplay is extrememly fast. But the content, well, if you like to shoot and run, then this is for you.

how can people dislike this game

I don't understand the complaints. Yeah Quake 3 arena was good but the original Unreal Tournament brought online FPS to the masses (including me) something Quake never did. This is essentially an update to the original game and luckily still has all the original qualities that the original game had. With the bonus packs there are some great new game types too, like Bombing Run and Invasion. I have even played some versions where you can allocate earned skill points to improve your player..which gives the feel of an FPS crossed with an RPG. All in all its definitely a jump forward although it could be a leap if more of the additions mentioned are supplied with the game. Lets see what Atari come up with for UT 2004

Unreal 2k3's not the best, but it's NOT HORRIBLE!

Ok, so I can understand most people's complaints about all those features being taken off the game. And I'll admit I was a bit dissapointed too. But in no way is this game horrible! Yes it's got great graphics, and as much as I know graphics don't make a game, it sure helps alot! And the lighting effects? Amazing. I haven't seen a single lighting glitch in the game..so i'm geussing the people with lighting glitch complaints have computers that may be a little bit off.. The guns in this are fairly good, and the concept of just running around and shooting people got a little old, but I enjoyed the different modes...and in no way were the physics horrible! The physics in this game are amazing! All of the in-game characters and bots, have very realistic movements when jumping, sidestepping shooting, falling down a big hole full of horizontal steel bars, ect.
So it's not the greatest game out there, and probably worth waiting for Unreal 2k4, but it's definatly worth a look.
