 UT3 - great fun without too much involvement March 12, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
UT3 is a fast first person shooter with tons of action, lots of great maps, and a low level of involvement. It's a great game if you don't want to spend your life learning how to play and keeping up with your character and some of the time-sucking commitments required by other games. It's nothing more than killing the other guys - no deep strategies, building the troops, acquiring wealth, skill, or any other time-intensive activity. Gameplay is very fast and intense. It takes a few rounds to get the hang of it, but once you do, it's great fun.
 Warning do not buy this game!! March 8, 2008

If you have a router and plan on running your own server so you and your friends can go head to head like the old 99 Ut , think agian. Even if you know how to port forward, epic programed the game to throw its hands up in the air and say, oh no Nat on a router who would ever do such a thing. Disabling it doesnt work, countless hours google-ing. Nothing , absolute trash. I am thinking of demanding my money back from best buy... Thanks epic, you really let the Ut fans down.
$50.00 bucks less for me, and a $50 dollar rip off in your wallet.
Awesome game on an old AIW X800XT March 3, 2008

This game is a lot of fun! I have been a fan of Unreal Tournament since the beginning and this latest version doesn't let you down.
I am playing on an old AIW X800XT and have the settings at medium and my frame rates are around 40-50 with an E4400 OC'ed to 2.7 GHz.
I find that this game is a little darker and harder to see around then previous versions, and the bots are a lot better, or I am a lot worse. lol.
I have the bots set to average and I have a tough time. I eventually win, but I don't dominate them. I must be getting old. lol. Maybe I need a bigger monitor, my 19" Samsung LCD is getting old.
I love the Vehicle Capture the flag, it is a lot of fun, and I enjoy using the hover board! It is cool, slaloming and jumping and hanging on the backs of vehicles. It's a bummer when you get hit and are stunned for a couple seconds.
Warfare is a lot of fun as well. Like I said previously, this game hasn't been easy for me, which makes it more fun.
I am still trying to learn the maps, which hasn't been easy for me. I easily find the main route to their flag, but it is the less traveled, backway paths that I am trying to learn.
I love the fact that UT3 can still be played with a 3 yr old video card, unlike a lot of the new games, that require such high end hardware.
I may buy an 8800 GT since they are under $200 and see how much prettier everything looks!
I haven't played online yet, since I feel like I need much more practice...lol
If you loved UT2K4, then you will also love UT3!
Buy it and enjoy!!!
even Epic is embarassed March 1, 2008

This game is horrible, especially for PC. They've even said they are going to concentrate on console gaming since the PC gaming world is in disarray. This was their excuse for putting out an unfinished product. Don't expect any Linux Server that works cause you won't find it. The graphics look like the artists ate a whole bunch of red and brown food and barfed on the monitor. Truly a disappointment after all the waiting, will stick with UT2004 which is now like $9.99? and still a MASTERPIECE.
I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it and it REALLY applies in this case.
I wasted my money, want my copy??
 Are you kidding me? UT3 is mediocrity incarnate... February 16, 2008

Okay, so to begin, I'm as die-hard of an Unreal fan as it gets -- ever since my introduction to the game at the tender age of 10, I've been quite the Unreal afficionado. I eagerly anticipated the releases of UT2K3 (which wasn't amazing, but I certainly enjoyed it) and UT2K4 (best game of 2004). So naturally, I awaited UT3's release in wide-eyed awe as the days counted down to the release of the game. Come early November, I was in total dismay at the product that Epic attempted to pass off at Unreal Tournament 3.
At first, the game had horrendously demanding system requirements. My machine was getting pretty old (a Pentium D 925 and a GeForce 7800GS) so it was high time to upgrade. After upgrading to a Core 2 Quad and GeForce 8800GT, my performance issues were solved, but I was left wondering, "why does this game require so much processing power"? Where were the real time shadowing on every piece of geometry as was promised in the original UE3 demos? Where were the dynamic lighting, destructable environments, and ground-breaking physics? The extent of the game's graphical splendor lies solely in that it has neat "blurring" effects when under water/slime. Other than that, DOOM 3 and Half Life 2 are quite honestly not much worse looking than this game-- and they ran flawlessly on my old computer. Meh, so graphics I'd rate, perhaps, a 8/10. However, graphics hardly account for what I think of a game -- I still have a BLAST with the original DOOM, which has total crap for visuals by today's standards.
The story that is provided is really, REALLY, cheesy. Okay, so apparently some clan is at war with a team of undead aptly called the "Necris". Funny thing is about this war is that, uh, nobody actually dies! What the hell kind of battle field is it where your dead soldiers are saved by respawners? Epic should have stuck with the whole sports/competition theme that was prevalent in the earlier installations of Unreal Tournament -- at least that was somewhat believable. Meh, UT isn't about the single player game anyway, but the SP game here certainly wasn't as nicely done as that found in UT and UT2004.
So, the multiplayer gameplay is what this game's all about, and it's here that UT3 shows its shortcomings relative to the older titles. UT and UT2004 both had a plethora of game modes, and there were many high quality, brilliant maps for your gaming pleasure -- UT3 is not so. Its maps are generic, to say the least, and there just aren't that many of them. Furthermore, the only game modes available in UT3 are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Vehicle Capture the Flag, and Warfare. This is in stark contrast to UT2004's plethora of modes, including assault, onslaught, invasion, bombing run, CTF, deathmatch, team deathmatch, mutant, etc. The previous game just was so much MORE of a game. It had more maps, more modes, and it was just better. UT3 looks, aesthetically, better than its predecessor, but who the hell plays a game for only looks?
So, I'd say steer clear of this atrocity unless you're really itching to have a complete collection of Unreal games. But, quite honestly, the Unreal Anthology -- with UT, UT2004, Unreal, and Unreal 2 -- is only $[...] on amazon and is much better. Hell, the anthology would be more of a value even at the price of UT3.
So, if you already have UT2004, don't buy this. If you don't have UT2004, don't buy this and get the Anthology with the groundbreaking UT and the amazing UT2004. Stay away from this trash until it his $[...] in the bargain bin.
