I would like to start off by saying that I really respect Epic Games
when it comes to producing value for money games for all of us. They
are amongst a small group of developers that really put their heart and
soul into everything they release and it shows with Unreal Tournament 3.
UT3
is all about action packed, fast combat with jaw dropping visuals and
killer sound to boot. The visuals in UT3 are fantastic and the game
runs at a blistering framerate with no slowdown to be found even in the
heaviest of battles.
From the character models to the stunning
battle grounds, UT3 looks the part from all angles. The weapons
although not realistic feel great and are so accurate that every other
developer (besides Activision) should study this game and take notes on
how to make a first person shooter.
Unreal Tournament has never
been known for its story and UT3 is no exception. The story is
shocking, you will find yourself skipping the majority of this as I
did, it just does not have any weight at all, pity.
Where UT3
shines is in its gameplay and more specifically in Multiplayer!
Multiplayer action is fantastic. Once you find yourself a good ping and
a good group of people online, you will have a blast. There are a heap
of multiplayer modes to choose from but from what I have played it
looks like team deathmatch is the most popular.
The sound in UT3
is very good although the comments made by other players like “yeah,
take that!” do get a little annoying after a while.
If you’re after a shooter that is hardcore in nature but easy to pick up and play, this is the game for you.
