Rating: Summary: Good game...but... Review: Unfortunately, the single-player is incredibly boring...just bots and skirmishes. If there was a campaign, this game is flawless. The multiplayer is great, and there are plenty of great modifications for this game. But if you don't have a broadband internet connection, don't think about it. This game revolves on a good internet connection.
Rating: Summary: Hands Down The Best Review: This is one of the best of the best. Sets the standards for all others to follow. I've been playing it for over a year now and it has not lost a bit of game play. Check it out!! FuZZyLoGiC
Rating: Summary: My word, this could not be any better! Review: What a game! the graphic are just so life like and realistic. I played both this and Half Life and this came on top by far, it was just so much more superior in all ways. The settings are so imaginary. Also the weapons are all real life weapons which makes it even more realistic. By having real weapons you know what they can do so know what they are capable of. But one thing to do is to try in on God Mode and get back to me if you can do it! Its well hard but the good thing about the levels is that there are so many different skill levels to choose from. So you can start off playing against weaker players and when you get better you can test your ability to a much more challenging game! If you have the internet then play it on there, its great but very surprising of how many people are on it all the time so there are hundreds of people to play against and hundreds of different games and types to choose from. If you have friends that also have the game then you can even play on the internet against them, which is a great laugh. The controls and game play are very easy to handle, you can get used to them within minutes. And to top it all you cannot stop playing it and have to get to the next level. I would advise you to get it if you like that sort of games because you will love it like i do!
Rating: Summary: This Game Rocks Review: This game is multiplayer without the multiplayer thats what makes this game so awsome, and the graphics and sound kick a$#
Rating: Summary: Let's get to the point.... Review: Okay, if you're reading this you must be considering to buy this game. I'm not going to go into all this technical stuff cause everyone has pretty much covered it. For the price right now, it's really cheap and worth it. If you're a fan of shooters, get this game. It's up there with Counter-strike and they are both good games in a different way. Even if you don't play online or have a slow connection, the bots are amazingly realistic and fun. Even playing the solo tournaments are fun cause they give you different challenges. I highly recommend this game and it's money well spent!
Rating: Summary: Important to those looking to buy: Review: I have what some would call a totally unbalanced machine: DSL, Voodoo 5, 20 GB Hard Drive, 300 MHz processor. It is the last item in the list that really counts. Current games require a 200-300 MHz processor. REQUIRE. That means you can run them on a machine like mine, but to actually run them to their full extent, a computer with a 500-700 MHz porcessor is needed. This applies to most games, including Unreal Tournament. There are some other factors that can improve performance, such as video cards and video memory. I have an extremely good video card: Voodoo 5. This runs well with all of the games that I own. The video card matters, but not much (I used to run on an ATI Rage II). Since I have this odd computer, I recieve slowdowns, freezes, and timeouts. A "slowdown" is a jumpy effect, almost like a bad stop-action (claymation) film. A "freeze" is this: when I run into battle, my screen literally freezes for 5-10 seconds (along with my character), and after I return to normal play, I am DEAD. =). A "timeout" (my definition may not be the real one) is me getting disconnected from a game because my processor cannot process all of the game info needed to run a large multiplayer game. You should only get this product if your computer is up to it. You need a good video card, a good hard drive, a good CD-ROM, a good modem (DSL, cable, T1, or T3 is preferred), and especially a good processor (over 500-600 MHz).\ Now, if your computer does not reach the previous requirements, get Quake III: Arena. It is almost the same thing but with less weapons. They both have horrible single player, but you should think of those missions as training for multiplayer. The reason I suggest Q3A is because it has almost no slowdowns. Even If your computer meets or surpasses the requirements for UT, get Q3A also. Trust me.
Rating: Summary: HEAD SHOT!!! Review: This is the best FPS EVER! Warm up against the computer, then after a few months of training (you'll need it!) head online for some REAL competition! This game has it all - several different modes of play (Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Assult, LAST MAN STANDING!!!, etc), tons of levels, a practice mode, difficulty settings...the list goes on and on. And if you decide that's not enough - go online and download thousands of other levels and modifications to fit your needs! The only "problem" with the game - system requirements. You need at LEAST a 500 mhz processor, a good graphics card helps a lot, pleny of hard drive space (for all those downloads of course!), and the most important thing of all - FAST internet connection. Don't even bother playing online with a 56k, you'll probably never win. You'll notice as you play that the people with the best connection wins EVERY time. Cable modem or DSL is the only way to go (unless you're lucky to have a T1 or T3 at work). Then you can hang with the best of them!
Rating: Summary: So much fun! Review: Unreal Tournament is an exciting and fluent first-person shooter that exemplifies technical excellence in any game of its nature. Unlike Quake III, the action is not limited to a single deathmatch; rather, it has five different types of gameplay styles that make Unreal Tournament a much more entertaining and compelling experience. Unreal Tournament is a satisfying game that is compelling and tense, resulting in a game worthy of high praise. Unreal Tournament has no need for a story. It's no-fuss interface allows the game-player to immediately launch themselves into the 'Unreal Tournament'- a futuristic fight-to-the-death. Initially you are only able to play deathmatch, but as more scenarios are completed, four other game formats are introduced. There's 'capture the flag', in which you lead a team of fighters in an attempt to capture the opposing team's flag, all while defending your own. Following that, there's 'domination', a somewhat boring format that has your team controlling as many 'point scorers' as possible in order to amass your growing total to a winning score. The most exciting format is 'assault', whereby your team infiltrates either a submarine or a moving train, or whatever, in order to satisfy a number of mission objectives, all under a given time period. Following that, you graduate on to a really hard version of death-match that provides most of Unreal Tournament's frustration. Technically, Unreal Tournament is flawless. It's seamless graphics engine culminates with a fluent, easily maneuverable first-person perspective, allowing the player to navigate through the catacombs of each scenario with relative ease. Also, the sound quality is very good, especially with Creative Environmental Audio: you can hear missiles travelling from one speaker to the next, sniper bullets whizzing past your ear or the footsteps of an enemy coming closer. The weapons in Unreal Tournament are varied and numerous. Unlike Quake III, each weapon features an 'alternative fire' option, such as multiple rockets fired simultaneously or a concentrated ball of shotgun fire, rather than the regular spread-shot. Weapon such as the sniper rifle or the 'Ripper', a gun that fires razorblades at high speeds, creates a unique experience that leaves Quake III for dead. Altogether Unreal Tournament is a really exciting game that is multi-faceted and technically flawless. Its breadth, ease of use and nail-biting excitement culminates to create the most entertaining 3D shooter on the market. Forget Quake III- get Unreal Tournament. It's a winner!
Rating: Summary: Very Good Game.. Review: I own Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.. I like both.. But Unreal is about 10 times better. The single player in UT is actually fun to play. The Multiplayer is FANTASTIC...advised you have a fast connection. The graphics are great and it even runs on older machines. Tons of weapons.... Great game modes.... The bots are very smart and fun to play with. This game is WAY more team oriented than Q3 and actaully involves STRATEGY. Fantastic game..one of my very favorite games....GO BUY IT!
Rating: Summary: "Attack the Base!" Review: This is THE GAME to get if you like deathmatch, capture the flag, or team deathmatch. Combined with it's two extra modes of gameplay and the 300+ mutators on the web, there are almost endless possibilities of combat. The only downside to the game is that it requires a hefty system to run it well. Anything less than a 700 megahertz computer with a TNT chipset card will expect to see framerates of around 15. Still, buy it and play it like it's one of your offspring.
