Without Live, This Game is Terrible

I usually never buy a game before I have rented it first. Even Halo I played at a friends house at before I bought it. I heard so many things about this game, like it vehicles, it was going to be 100x better than Halo, etc. This game was a flop. You have to have jedi reflexes to keep up, but you can always put the game speed at 75. But then if you go online you'll get stomped on. The rocket launcher explosions are TINY. There is lag in single player. The graphics are pretty good. The characters grunt when they get hit, or when they jump, which is annoying. The ONLY REASON TO BUY THIS GAME WOULD BE FOR LIVE. I can't get broadband, but I though this game would be fun anyway, I was wrong. If you don't have Live, don't bother. If you have Live, you'll enjoy it for a while. Now, MechAssault is a whole different story.

Single player mode is boring

This game had little to offer in the First-person shooter (FPS) genre. The graphics are pretty mediocre and the AI is nothing fancy.

The single player mode lacks any sort of story or development. The different game modes, while generally fun, are nothing new. The controls are pretty good, but the action moves a little unrealisticlly (no pun intended). Weapons don't require reloading, so the action seems a bit over-exagerated.

I haven't played this game on x-box live, so I'm passing no judgment in that respect. But as a FPS, this game suceeds in breaking no new ground. Nor does it really push the limits of x-box's potential.

Unreal Championship is a "blast"!

I've run through single player mode countless times, and on Xbox LIVE!, on varying difficulties, and I must say, UC is one of the best FPS deathmatch games for the Xbox or any other system. I don't recommend playing this or any other game in Split Screen mode, it can be quite frustrating, and it took me a while to figure out how to start the Split Screen mode...

I've played the deathmatch modes in other games like Mech Assult and Halo, which are both great games, but they are lacking in on major area...

Speed! UC plays fast and furious, sometimes even chaotic, which is awesome during online play!! Halo is IMHO very boring in Deathmatch mode, simply because it's so S L O W...
Mech Assult is great, if you're into the whole "Mech" thing, but again moves very slow.

Overall, I recommend this game to anyone who even remotely likes FPS games.

Unbelievable, absolutely amazing

This is easily the best multiplayer game for the Xbox. It is also probably the best online FPS ever made, and I promise you I have played a LOT of FPS'. Balance is nearly perfect, the weapons are all completely unique, the races and affinities (increased damage/rate of fire/ammo) contribute to the depth of gameplay. Gametypes are all great, each one appealing to a different player, or a different side of the same player. The maps are excellent, well balanced, and allow each race to employ it's unique traits and strengths while still forcing players to overcome each races weaknesses.

The pacing, though, is where the game really shines. This is easily the fastest moving game I have ever played, furious and chaotic, but still managing to stay strategic, by naught but the will of God. If you lack reflexes, prepare to face a steep learning curve if you jump into an online game, as your learning curve is gonna sting a little. And yes, I do intend this to be a compliment to the game - people who aren't good at a game should know it immediately, and should be forced to get good to win. Equalizers are just a games way of telling you it's ok, don't worry, you don't have to be good to win.

Minor framerate issues do exist, but this is less a matter of the game itself and more a matter of its interaction with XBL. Server upload/download is slow, mostly because this was a launch title for XBL. Things weren't quite perfected at that point. Hopefully by the time they BC it to the 360 that will have been fixed, although knowing MS they probably won't put a whole lot of effort into it.

In the end, this is a must-have for anyone who finds online shooters even TOLERABLE, the image of perfection itself.

Don't bother buying it....

Well being one of the first xbox live games it didn't to all that bad, but wow. Theres a lot of problems with this game, most of them simple things like its just outright cheap. It takes forever to load anythign when the actual levels are somewhat simple and well when they say unreal tournament, let me tell you it is far from lying. If you're the type whos into a really good game where you won't get sniped by some 8 yr on prozac whos dominating because the weapons are extremely unbalenced on this game then go ahead and buy it. What do I mean weapons are unbalenced? A sniper rifle doesn't even have to be zoomed in to kill someone, just aim in their general direction pull the trigger and bang they are dead. Use a rocket launcher and you better hope your not a bad shot and it can take up to 3 shots to kill someone. They do have some interesting powerups like adrenaline shots you take in this game that make your character perform special, but no matter what its not enough to save the games replay value. I'm big into games like halo for the splitscreen bouts, but when this came out I was hoping for something as fun as that and was brutally let down. Halo 2 is now out and almost for a month. If you really love your kid you'll buy him Halo 2 instead of this game. Sure its like 50 bucks for Halo 2, and 20 bucks for this, but Halo 2 is well worth the graphics, the gameplay that is never quite the same, and never gets old. Its the best 50 bucks i've spent in a long time. Oh and the limited edition one is only great if you want a metal case, otherwise the extra videos are a little bit interesting but a careful search can find them posted on the internet.

word of mouth say buy, buy, buy.

This game has received nothing but good reviews. I have not played it myself(as of august 30th, 2002) but everything i have seen from people that have is that it will be worth the purchase. It has customizeable charaters, plenty of weaponry and possible even 32 player modes. There are more things than I can list here, so i would suggest you go to xbox.com . I'm just trying to pass on the word. Happy huntings!

wtf?

why are you rating it before it is out? this, in its entirety makes no sense to me, which is why i rate it a 1, so that people can see that these reviews dont make any sense and are just made by people that are biased little twerps. actually, i wanted to see if my review would affect the overall average, hee hee

Unreal championship is going to take full control of Xbox live! you can play people in the same area as you and also find friends you like. You will be able to team up using the Xbox Communicator and talk to your teamates while thrashing other species. Have a friend use a sniper rifle and snipe the battle field while you take out the angry mob trying to stop your friends sniping! It's going to be an awsome game that anyone with Xbox Live should have!!!!

Nice game

If you ask me, this game can't be beat as far as XBox LIVE games go. Plus you can probably buy it now for next to nothing. If you don't already have it, but your thinking about getting it, then go for it. It'll be a worthy addition to your library, no doubt.
