Amazon.com Review
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 Pros: Built-in network game browser allows you to sort by game type, map, and ping Multiple game types (Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, and Assault) keep the game fresh and bring team-play focus Over 50 well-designed maps in exotic locations play as great as they look Clever "bot" Artificial Intelligence can accommodate various skill levels Cons: Not a tremendous amount of variety in the player and bot character models High level of violence and mature nature of taunts may make game unsuitable for younger players
