Product Info Reviews

Description:

The original Unreal was a hit, setting new standards for acceptable eye candy in first-person shoot-'em-ups. With improved networking, better weapons, and fantastic maps, Unreal Tournament now unleashes unmatched multiplayer mayhem, proving it's more than just the legacy of a pretty face. Focusing on creating a highly competitive online environment, Unreal Tournament has a solid death-match mode, but also delivers three extremely satisfying variants. Capture the Flag (steal your opponents' flag, defend your own), Domination (capture and control defined areas for points), and Assault (storm a base, then defend it) breathe new life into online multiplayer battles and create gripping team-play situations. Over 50 arenas are provided, from ancient alien temples to high-speed trains. If a new map becomes popular, Unreal Tournament is smart enough to download it (or any new-player "skins") automatically. The hassle-free multiplayer is further enhanced by the in-game browser that allows you to find online matchups quickly and painlessly. The single-player game acts as a highly effective training environment, allowing you to master the wicked weaponry while surviving the frighteningly smart "bots." On top of it all, Unreal Tournament is still one great-looking game, delivering a big bang for your buck. --Jack Gardiner
