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!!!!

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.

XBox Live is Where This Shines

Unreal Championship for the XBox takes the great gameplay of the PC version and adds in better graphics plus XBox Live lagless gameplay!

We have Unreal Tournament for the PC, and in general it's a fun game. You have great graphics and fast-pace gameplay. The single play mode can get boring, but really it's just a training ground for the real challenge - on line play against real humans.

The problem is that on line games can be pretty laggy, and it can be a challenge finding a game that's really fun and not frustrating.

In comes Unreal Championship for the XBox. Again, single play is OK, but it's really all a training mode. It lets you get used to the wide range of characters (male, female, black, white, alien), the types of weapons and maps available. Once you're SURE you're comfortable with that all, it's time to step up to the plate. You take the game on line on the XBox Live.

Choose your type of game, the number of players you want to go against. You can join a game for novices if you're just getting started, or against the skilled warriors of the world if you're experienced. You can put mutators on the map, go for deathmatch or capture the flag or other gaming styles.

It's great! Play just with friends you know, or play against gamers around the world. You can even download new maps, skins and more as they make it available on line.

Highly recommended for any first person shooter fans.

Get it, and get Xbox Live

I hate it when people review games that they don't own or haven't even played. Write that in your diary. No one cares how good you think a game will be. This and Halo are the best games I've ever played on any console or PC. The maps' graphics are as good or better than Halo's; however, the characters detail and animation isn't quite as nice as Halo's, which was pretty much flawless. This is simply because the characters move extremely fast and jump high. It's hard to make that look natural. This game is very fast paced.

Xbox Live is a must with this game. The in-game voice with Xbox Live is much cooler than it sounds, though the masking is kind of annoying. I played a 16-player game online this morning and it was seamless. For you Xbconnect-ers, no more going back and forth from the PC to the Xbox to find a game that doesn't lag. You can always find a game with a good ping rate on Xbox Live.

The rankings are constantly updated. They are specific to the different game types (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Bombing Run, etc.). This is a pretty cool feature. I'm 392nd in Team Deathmatch baby! Where's my trophy?

Everyone who owns an Xbox should own this game and should be on XBL. PS2 is for women and children.

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.

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.

Awsome!

Look I love Halo and this game.. but they ar not alike and niether are they supposed to be. Unreal is much faster and online with xboxlive. Going on this game with xboxlive is the coolest thing ive done in a long time in video games.(Playing CS) This game rules go out and get it along with xbox live.( Xbox live requires an Xbox(if u dont have one nows is deffently the time)and a broadband connection like dsl or cable) If you need an xbox and broadband got to speakeasy.com they have an incredable deal.

Loving it before I've even played online

The hardest thing I found was getting to grips with the controller, being used to playing UT tourny on the PC it was quite different, but after a few days things are starting to fall into place, I have even started to jump around a little too!!
The graphics are great playing even playing in thru my 10yr old 25in screen!! the levels also take some time getting used to, especially when you've been playing UT for months. The sound is great in Dolby Digital, thru my home theatre setup the walls shake, although I don't thing the neighbours are as enthusiastic :-)
The game itself well it was exactly as I expected I mean you can't exactly improve on gameplay it's just prettier.
It will never look as crisp as a UT2003 on a £1-2k state of the art pc but for the £150 xbox it is nothing short of breath taking and would look even better if I could afford and nice flat screen tv but hey you can't have everything.

Conclusion
don't miss it in my opinion, jeepers I'm saying this without even trying it online, will amazon allow be to have 6 stars whent he live bit comes out in the uk?
