Unreal Tournament is
unreal. I only bought it as Quake 3 wasn't yet in. Unreal Tournament
is a great all rounder. You'll be up playing it for hours, the great
game play is the key to its success, even without a real single
player game. The new single player being going through a tournament
of death match match's, as well as other types of game play matches.
There are many types of game play available. From the standard
deathmatch and team deathmatch, onto the other standards such as
Capture the flag. The new additions and alterations of existing
theme's being the altered King of the Hill called domination. Where
you must capture and secure 3 control points. Another new option is
Assault, where one team guards an objective and the other team must
infiltrate the enemy base and destroy certain things and flip
switches etc, and the other team has to stop the other team from
doing these things. The final addition is last man standing, where
all players start with a number of lives, each time they die they go
down 1 life. When a player reached 0 lives they are out of the
match. The last person alive is the winner. With all these options
straight out of the box, you have a great game with which mods will
be able to add to, instead of having to make new types of game play
which the developers have left out. Epic Games made this game have
loads of options and 50 maps to boot. The graphics as with the
original unreal are outstanding. They have again improved on the
engine and made it look great. Although it doesnt have the curves or
the quake 3 engine it still looks great and it runs real fast, with
just about no lag. The net is also full of servers, I've even found
servers with as low a ping as 30. So they must surely be alot of
servers near me. The sound track is great, with some real catchy
tunes of it, as well as the explosions and bullets making the sound
we require. When was the last time you started up a game, and though
hey this guy is actually walking. I mean in quake 3 its like you are
hovering over the ground. But in unreal tournament you really walk.
All round this game is here to stay and shall certainly get game of
the year in some category.
