Reviews - Unreal Tournament 3 Game

As many mentioned, this is the fine example of a game which sold out it's potential as a shameless FPS with no storyline. In all honesty, the Unreal series were standing strong without such things as Plot or Storyline supporting them, and it would seem the implementation of such terms as Respawner and the like in a game called Unreal for a reason seems redundant.

The single player consists of pre rendered cynematics followed by simple bot matches on various normally playable single player maps and it would seem that it almost gives the impression that Epic Games were desperatly trying to make Unreal3 into a game it should not be.

Unreal has never been in the need of a storyline or plot and many will agree that it's earlier titles like UT2004 or UT99 are better games in it's series. However the game graphics are wonderful and the sloppy single player mode does not stand near the multiplayer experience as it should be expected.

However the graphics are also the game's downfall: the game effects and the weapons themselves seem to give this ominous glow, which makes every pvp encounter into a rave party with neon lights and disco balls. Also, for newer players, the over-done weapons can prove a challenge to memorize and recognize during the fast gameplay, unlike Unreal 2004, which simple and easy to distinguish weapon models had no such issues.

Characters are too big (too much Gears of War like). Too few female characters (and no I don't want half naked female characters) and I miss the classic characters like in UT. Personally don't like the hoverboard. Vehicles are fun. Looks good, but perhaps overdone as the environment is so detailed and filled with light (glow) so you can't clearly see the difference between objects (aka harder to see players). Story is crap as it is no story but badly hidden matches. Yeah sure Respawners? Riiiiight. *haha* Moving on... Missing gametypes like Bombing Run/Domination that were not included by default. Don't like the flag models, the taunts are gay and miss the classic ones that had STYLE and not just shouting taunts (I am really annoyed by that). Music on the other hand is GREAT. Weapons feel a bit different from UT99. And seriously why are the Kralls not like how they were in UT99 (how it should be) and WHY AREN'T THERE ANY SKAARJS INCLUDED???!?!?! I mean is this Unreal or not?? Furthermore it's called Unreal TOURNAMENT, where is the tournament? Remember your roots. Damn.

I rate this video game a 9 for its customizable nature and amazing 2007 graphics from the Unreal Engine 3, what stops it being a 10/10 is the fact that there is little content added into the game, no unique characters, they all look like they have been taken out of Gears of War, the story is good, but it should not be in a arena shooter like Unreal Tournament, it would have been better to name this Unreal 3 or Unreal Warfare, although 2007, a tool kit being made by L-mod United Kingdom called the ShadowEdge Editor V0.5 aims to bring UT3 up to date with the future, using L-mod's powerful ShadowEdge Physics Engine (a 2012 engine), UT3 will look even better than the UDK.

I didn't like it as much as 2004. It's still not bad though.

btw i do not owe this game I played the demo and seen some peers play this game.

good game graphics wise and action.

Problem:
you must kill women in single player game, to violent(however setting can remove the gore), strong profanity. multyplayer people can choose to remove girls models from game.
