 I call this game INSTALLATION NIGHTMARE... December 28, 2007

Why Midway would release a game with so many installation bugs is beyond me. I have TWO state-of-the-art computers created specifically for gaming and neither of the systems will play this game. It won't start at all. And then... Just to add to the annoyance, it appears that Midway's customer support team took the week after X-Mas off, so there's absolutely no help on that end. Good job guys. You just lost another customer.
 Outstanding Gameplay, but... December 26, 2007

I've been a UT fan since the moment I saw the original Unreal game run on Glide via a Voodoo card back in the late 90s. It has been a long time waiting for UT3. Was it worth it? Absolutely! The look, feel, and gameplay of UT3 is a total win for Epic and Midway. I especially like the added realism obtained with a PhysX card and maps designed to exploit it, of which there are currently two from Ageia, with the promise of more to come.
But... I don't care for the user interface that you use to set up the game. Even with the v1.1 patch. Many of the settings are only adjustable via the command line or by editing ini files. It shouldn't have to be that way.
And... why all the foul language? I wanted to show my kid some of the game and I unplugged my headphones so she could hear the sound effects. I was totally embarrased by the cursing and swearing of the AI characters (yes, offline AI characters)! This also is supposed to be controllable by editing ini files, but it hasn't worked for me yet. Totally unnecessary. Do Epic programmers think foul language makes the game better??!
As for the extras included with this collector's edition, the bonus DVD is awesome (as usual), but the mini-hard covered book of concept art has low value for me. I would have rather it been full of maps and tips/tricks and weapon details and storylines, etc. to add to the UT3 universe, its lore, and improve my overall gaming experience.
 Awesome gameplay, but you need the power to run it ! December 24, 2007

Although it has some of the feel of UT2004, it has a lot of changes to make it oh so much better. It's a really addictive game weather you're playing against the bots, or playing online. The bots are using a much better AI this time as well. The only downside is that it is kinda making me want to upgrade my system due to some choppiness at times. I still give it 5 Stars just due to the addictive action. My specs are below in case anyone is curious.
My current system
OS - Vista Ultimate - (UT3 runs better in XP than in Vista for me...FYI)
CPU - Athlon 64 X2 6400 - 3.2GHz (Athlon 64 X2) - Below the recommended specs, but does ok.
Memory - 2GB (Upgraded from 1GB, thinking I need more)
Video - ATI X850 XT (256MB) - In XP...make sure you have the most current driver (Catalyst).
Not Bad December 21, 2007

I bought Unreal Tournament more to play with the mod tools then to actually play the game. While the game is fun, it kind of suffers from the 'been there, done that' formula. Granted, its the best 'been there done that' you can find.
 Great game, but still disappointing December 21, 2007

This game has an overall unfinished feel to it. It COULD have been a great game, but the UI is very poorly designed, and the maps feel very limiting and lack the variety found in UT2004. The actual gameplay is great, but don't expect to find anything cutting edge that will blow your socks off.
