Rating: Summary: Amazing looking and fun gameplay Review: If you want replay value, get this game. You can sit for hours and never get bored. Although, I do advise users to be careful of their heart rate...sometimes it can skyrocket at the drop of a rocket. The only bad thing about this game is that you should have a fairly high end computer to run it if you want it to look as good as it can. Bottom Line, Endless hours of fun for a moderate price, hey...and maybe you can compete with some players like me online.

Rating: Summary: Really bad, gay like I thought and I bought into the hype Review: This seriously has to be one of the worst games I've played and I'm a 3d shooter fanatic having played almost all of the 3D shooters from the quake series to the SOF series to the halflife series. This version has to be the laggiest version and I have a pentium 4 256 Ram with a Geforce 2....not the best of machines but gees if it lags this much on my computer on single player mode I dont even want to try it online. The only real good thing I have to say is that the levels are interesting and the graphics are really smooth and nice. But then again I really dont buy 3d shooters for necessarily their graphics. I buy them for their game quality and this hangs one the worst game qualities of the decade. ... Its double feature move would never work against human players. The game is a like suped up Q3 thats laggier than molassis and looks like the old nintendo TV show game where u shoot and pick up big bucks. ...
Rating: Summary: Absolutely the best game out.... Review: That is until the new Doom is released by Id software. I've been a Quake'er for a long time. I didn't get into UT until this release. Wow! Excellent maps and game physics. Any gamer whether PC,Mac, or console, will appreciate this game. You do need a pretty good videocard to run this at its intended settings. If you have the equipment, not running at its absolute highest details would be a crime. Get it, you won't be dissapointed. 4 stars because the huge space needed on your hardrive. 1 gig plus and more when you start adding 3rd pary maps and mods..etc.
Rating: Summary: This game has taken 1st person shooter backwards Review: What happened to all the great, somewhat realness we found in unreal tournament? This game has taken us backwards and in my opinion might as well be called Quake IV. To the creators: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? Bring back good old fashioned unreal tournament in the next version you make, and second: quit designing them for high end video cards. That is the biggest turnoff for buying this game.
Rating: Summary: UT2K3 Review: This is probably the best game I have played in a while. The graphics are jaw dropping and the new gameplay functions make this one of the best games out. It didn't have as many maps as the first one and the player options weren't as customizable, but I thought the bot AI is way better and so are the weapons. This is a must have for all those First-person gamers, or just anyone looking for some very fast paced combat.WARNING: If you don't have a computer that has over 1 GHz of processing power and a GeForce 2 or higher this is not for you.
Rating: Summary: Great graphics, same ole shooter game Review: If you wanna look at soe spectacular graphics with a high paced action game, this is it. If you want a lot of different things to do, dont count on it. This game is like a newer version of Quake and Unreal smooshed into one frag fest of same ole same ole. New weapons and some nice new modes. Can play football, keep away and some other fun stuff. If you want any long-term enjoyement, you may wanna look somewhere else. For the diehard first person shooter?? This is the best on the market! Its up to you.
Rating: Summary: A letdown compared to the original Unreal Tournament Review: In all frankness UT 2K3 is somewhat of a letdown compared to the original Unreal Tournament. Unreal Tournament 2003 plays, looks, and sounds very similar to UT, with one major advantage: The graphics are not only sigificantly better than UT's already great looking graphics, but probably the best I've ever seen in any computer game -at least First Person Shooters. Unfortunately, this is the ONLY major advantage UT 2K3 has over its predecessor. On the upside, UT 2003 has some of the most awesome looking environments, sky effects and lava effects you'll ever see in any PC game. UT 2003 includes a new, innovative mode of play, "bombing run," which is somewhat similar to football. Also, there are a hefty 35 skins or so ranging from gene-boosted humans, to Egyptians to clowns to lizard-like creatures to automatons. On the downside, gameplay is substantially marred. Even with a 1.7 Ghz processor and 256 MB of RAM, some of the biggest and best maps (e.g., Magma, December, Bifrost, etc.) are entirely unplayable because the framerate is so horrid. When I join an online game -via cable modem connection- I experience a lot of lag and framerate issues, also. I had a far inferior PC and only 56K modem with the original UT and never experienced framerate issues online or offline. Game pace is absurdly fast, much more reminiscent of Quake 3 Arena than the first UT. For some reason there seems to be less skill required in playing this than the first UT. In UT 2K3 you just run and jump around and hope that you can aim and dodge better than your opponent. I'm afraid to say that it gets old fast and doesn't seem enjoyable like it did in UT. Speaking of maps, map designs generally seem a lot worse than they did in UT. One map is literally nothing more than a single room. Pathetic. The sound effects, astonishingly, are much worsely rendered in UT 2K3. They're not bad, per se, but they don't compare to the original's. They seem far less surreal and more "muffed." How Epic could botch this is way beyond me. The weapons don't have as much personality as UT's and they seem "watered" down and not very powerful. Even the actual game menu is a colossal disappointment: Whereas the original's was very intelligent-looking, condensed and organized, UT 2003's is one big cluttered mess which extends the entire breadth of the screen. I've seen this game menu trend (of making the menus inordinately large and clutterd as if it was more geared for a Kindergartener who couldn't even spell and had never seen a computer before than a true PC gamer and connoisseur who appreciates sophisticated and intelligent designs) extremely often in recent years, regrettably. In a nutshell, Unreal Tournament 2003's poignancy, creativity, quality, and meticulousness pales in comparison to the original in virtually every facet. It's still a good game on its own merits and fun to play. Epic has already released a patch which has addressed a lot of issues, users are constantly creating and releasing, for the public, downloadable mods and maps, etc., and there's even more incentive to play it considering that there's no competition for this type of game: I.D. Software never released a Quake 4. Unfortunately, however, this game should've been much better.
Rating: Summary: To Quake three'ish Review: If you liked the first UT, then you might not want to play this just yet. Give yourself some time to forget what an awesome game the first one was. UT2003 is not a bad game by any means, but it doesn't have the flavor that the original UT had. I think that the graphics in UT2003 are just amazing and the physics are great too. When a person is killed there are numerous different ways that the character falls or explodes. Also there is a good supply of various characters to choose from; my favorites being the Egyptians. I give this game four stars because they did a very good job designing it but lost the feel of the original UT. If they didn't try to spice it up so much and have all the voices grunting or yelling, then I would have given it a five.
