Unreal is great!!!

Unreal is probably one of the best PC series of all time. First, Unreal was revolutionary in the first person shooter genre, and then came Unreal Tournament, a very sophiticated, but brainless firstperson shooter with incredible graphics. Now, with both of these two combined, comes unreal championship. Championship is more like Unreal Tournament. It is a deathmatch game (and maybe CTF, Last Man Standing, you know the drill) but with many of the existing Unreal Characters as players. It is supposed to have online multiplay, which every first person shooter should have. Microsoft plans on starting their internet services on the time that UC is released. UC is going to be massivly multiplayer, since that is what UT was. Whatever is going to happen with UC, though, it is going to be great! The graphics will be top notch, great sound effects, bamboozilizing gameplay (like always), and, ofcourse, much to look forward to. For now, I'm out, so peace!

NOT an 11 year old... lol

i've been playing this type of game longer than the
previous reviewer has been alive, and i say, 'get this game'..However if your not planning on getting
Xbox live (microsofts ISP) ,avoid this game because
the offline version will be tedious and repetative.
On a bright note, in a preview i've read i heard rumors
of 64 player arenas, 32 vs 32 in death matches or CTF
.. again only good if played online.

***GAME OF THE YEAR***

UNREAL CHAMPIONSHIP will be the best XBOX LIVE title out of the first wave and will probably be the XBOX Game of the Year. This game is said to blow Halo out of the water. It is confirmed that you can play online with up to 32 players or with a friend in co-op, split screen(1-4 players) or even system link (32 players)! There will be bots you can play against unlike HALO and the game is a whole lot faster and more action packed than Halo.

So, if you like or own Halo, this is a must.

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!

Best Multiplayer game for Xbox Live! (After Halo Next)

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!!!!

If you are getting xbox live, this is a must have. I have played the other UNREAL games and they are all great, especially Unreal Tournament.....
I just have to say, this game is for someone who is getting xbox live.... If you arent, I wouldnt bother with it... For the rest of is, this game is gonna be Unreal Tournament 20 times better.

The best choice in First Person Shooter Multiplayer games!

This game is simply a must have for any fan of the Console First Person Shooting genre,as well as anyone who loved Halo's multiplayer game.Unreal Championship will take the multiplayer experience to the highest levels found in a console game yet.Here are the reasons I think Unreal Championship will be really fun and a great experience for XBOX owners- OPTIONS!!!- 16 player online action on XBOX Live,the Broadband only online gaming service offered to XBOX owners by Microsoft, that features the voice communicator-a head set microphone device that lets you talk in real time to your friends and opponents online,and has an optional voice masking feature that makes your voice sound like a number of characters-robots,kids,monsters,cartoons,etc. There is also an optional ignore and mute feature.-Unreal Championship gives you the option to play up to 16 player games offline as well,via linking 4 XBOXes together.You have the option for 4 player splitscreen games on 1 XBOX.- Custom soundtrack feature.Unreal Championship allows you to play music from your own CD collection that you have saved to the XBOX Hard Drive as you play the game!-Fully customizable controls.Unreal Championship allows you to change the controls of the game to anything you like. You can set the aiming sensitivity higher or lower,choose what button does what,etc. Like Halo's controls? Make it just like Halo. You can also turn on,or shut off "Auto Aim",a feature that is usually disliked by skilled gamers. You can also choose this as a server side option on XBOX Live.-Computer controlled opponents called "bots"with almost human artificial intelligence.Digital Extremes,the creators of this game, have given XBOX owners the option of playing computer controlled opponents during matches with friends,or just by yourself when no one is around to play offline. The Computer controlled "bots" increase in difficulty as they fight you,in game. You also have the option to adjust the bots' intelligence before a game,setting their difficulty.Even if you don't plan on getting XBOX Live, or don't have access to BroadBand,this feature ensures that you will still get the full quality experience this great game offers.-Over 25 characters to choose from 6 different alien races.Unreal Championship has truly unique characters. You can choose from characters that look like Japanese Anime style robots,Heavily armored humanoids,Egyptian style warriors,Goth Warriors,etc. Variety is the spice of life,and UC has flavor! - Beautifully detailed fighting environments.This game has breath taking visuals,and cleverly made levels to fight in,that will provide hours of play. This game simply takes the greatest parts of the XBOX hardware,and uses them well.The bottom line, is that every XBOX owner that enjoys multiplayer games owes it to themselves to buy this game. This is what you bought an XBOX for.The visuals,the gameplay,the options. That's Unreal Championship.

Choose Wisely

From someone who has actually PLAYED the game. (I dont' understand how someone who hasn't played it can review it one way or the other).

In any event, the games is good. Very good. If you're familiar at all with the Unreal Tournament/PC series, you will feel right at home here. The player models, game types and some of the maps for UC are the same as UT2003/PC, but the graphics are not as good. To be fair, pumping the graphics on UT2003 makes it look incredibly pretty, but the game begins to chug, even on my high-end PC. I haven't played UC Live or Multiplayer yet, maybe tonight. But the single player experience looks pretty darned good so far.

Does the game suffer from anything??? The same thing all fps type games suffer from on consoles . . . NO MOUSE/TRACKBALL SUPPORT. Moving, looking and shooting with the thumbsticks is an imprecise study in frustration. Why oh Why hasn't a third party developer come up with a simple trackball type device. It would DEFINITELY make games like this more enjoyable and reduce the learning curve for people coming over from the PC world.

Don't expect much of a story line here. There isn't one. UC is a sport where you kill the other guy, or take his flag, or toss the ball into his base thing (bombing run). That's all you need to know.

If you're an action gamer who is used to the fps control scheme, GET THIS WITHOUT HESITATION. If you had a choice between UC/xbox and UT2003/PC *I've got both :), I'd say go PC simply because of the possibilities of new user maps/mods/skins and such. That's what made the original UT so good.

Best online game ever

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
