BANZAI! is a modification for the game Unreal Tournament 2004.
It aims to be a simple, fun and easy to play game while bringing back the good old fashioned ’side-scroller’ gameplay. Inspired by many different side-scrolling games of old such as Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and Megaman, BANZAI! is a hail back to the old glorious days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming.
This however does not mean we are limiting the game to the "old school" looks. Our team works hard at creating something that's not only fun to play but also pleasing to the eye.
If you like sidescroller platform games, anime-ish looks (and perhaps even a few puzzle elements ;) )
Then this mod might be something to try out.

We're facing doom!
Our lead (also mapper) disappear without contact, and now our team lost a great mapper for Banzai!
This condition just repeating back our last bad history; THE CURSE OF BANZAI! (disappearance of leader)
So we open up a new recruitment for the one(or more) who're interest on developing Banzai!
UT2004 MAPPER is NEEDED! PRIORITY!
We still focusing on releasing a demo, but with this agenda happen, its give us bad luck this time... we need a new mapper to change our status! the real capable one! who can works for singleplayer map, knowledge in map scripting and such for ut2004~ We're begging on you!
