 This game is a blast! October 3, 2008
This game in my opinion is one of the best shooters out there. I really like the taunts that your character can say to keep the action going. I also love the team deathmatch which you can play with other players on your team to try and defeat the other team online. Go out and buy this game, you won't be disappointed.
Unreal is a blast! September 26, 2008
This game is very enjoyable. Fragging online is a blast, and a classic Unreal experience. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous.
A few problems however: One, the single player is something to be desired. But in games like Quake or Unreal, we all know that we arent looking for a phenomenal single player experience. But another problem i consistently experience is occasional extreme lag when playing online.
These problems cause me to give this game a 4 out of 5, but to anyone who is a fan of playing online, i strongly recommend this game.
Very Cool September 11, 2008

It seems that most people I've talked too are/were very familiar with all of the old computer versions of Unreal. But my review is for the Xbox 360, which, like many of us, had never played any version up until buying this one for the 360.
This game will have you hooked. It is super fun, and the gameplay on plasmas and lcd screens is amazing. There are LOTS of things to do, including the main campaign, and random fun instant action levels.
NOTE: The best part about this game is that the initial campaign is basically just a training mode to get you online (great idea!). The game is designed for online play. So, by just going through the campaign and having fun, you are now ready to hook up Xbox live and you'll fit right in.
The 1up.com review of a "C" grade is absurd, and I've read it. If only because every reviewer is comparing it to all the other releases dating back years and years. As a new player to this great xbox 360 game, I was very impressed.
IMO, this beats Halo 3 in a heartbeat. Why? Because there are, among others, two specific 'mutators' (which modify the game play) that you can turn on together. One is Speed Freak, and the other in Low Gravity. Now, imagine this. Playing the fastest Xbox 360 character ever made, and then being able to jump the equivalent of about 300 feet in the air while looking down at flying machines, tanks, other aliens and firing your crazy alien gun at everything! THAT is what I call fun. I put Halo 3 away, and simply love hosting matches with these mutators on.
This is by far one of the years most underrated games, without a doubt. The 'maps' that you can play are beautiful. There's something for everybody here, trust me.
Kids LOVE it! (Forget the M rating, it's ridiculous, and based on a few bad words ONLY in the campaign) And older dads will love this too. Plus, the best part is that there are no Halo 3 GODS for the most part. Meaning that when you join Halo 3 online, you usually get clobbered. With Unreal Tournament 3, I've met some of the nicer people online, and there is plenty of space for the average gamer to grow his/her talent, including the BOTS that you can set up in "Novice" mode to help you along.
This is a GREAT game, and I only wish the gamer magazines would've reviewed this with fresh eyes specifically for the Xbox 360.
Fairly Fun Game, but over the top story September 9, 2008

Unclear if people really get this much into the story/culture of UT. The basic game hasn't really changed in the many versions of UT (which if you haven't played before has several games: capture the flag, deathmatch, blow up the other guys reactors in a team based environment).
The primary problem that I have (maybe it's because I'm in my 40's) is that I don't care about the back story... It adds nothing to the game, and provides nothing about each level that helps me win or even appreciate the environment (I'm sure this battle with the Necris has a fascinating political base, but WTF, it's a shooter!?). I'm sure that there are people who are looking for more than a team based shooter with frenetic action, but really... The action is fun and frenetic, and the comments are amusing from the announcer. (I personally enjoy the title of "Flak Master" the most).
The guns haven't really changed since the earlier versions. There are some new vehicles, the nastiest is the "dark walker". The other vehicles aren't really game-changers.
The most confusing of the game modes is the node-core game, where there are nodes that you "link" (i.e. capture) together to connect to the enemy core reactor. When you own all the nodes inline, you can strike the enemy core. Certain nodes also give your team extra benefits (like the ability to get tanks...) Most of the time this is pretty clear what to do, occasionally not.
In some of the capture the flag levels, the levels themselves are huge and confusing, and it is easy to get lost. In the node games, there are directions to point you to the node you need to attack.
As far as age appropriateness, my 8 year old has no problem playing, and enjoys it. He also gets annoyed by all the back-story chatter during the cut scenes. The violence is cartoonish, and amuses him.
Exactly what I wanted! September 1, 2008
Unreal Tournament 3 is exactly what I was looking for when I ordered it. Fast, furious action that is best played with 15 other victims (ur...online players). Everything looks and sounds good and I have yet to experience killer lag when playing on dedicated servers.
For Unreal fans, a nice addition for your console time-but if you want a hardcore campaign, I would suggest waiting for Gears Of War 2.Gears of War 2 Amazon.com Exclusive Lancer
