Exactly what I wanted! September 1, 2008
Unreal Tournament 3 is exactly what I was looking for when I ordered it. Fast, furious action that is best played with 15 other victims (ur...online players). Everything looks and sounds good and I have yet to experience killer lag when playing on dedicated servers.
For Unreal fans, a nice addition for your console time-but if you want a hardcore campaign, I would suggest waiting for Gears Of War 2.Gears of War 2 Amazon.com Exclusive Lancer
Unreal Tourney III, just like the other UTs August 13, 2008

Fisrt off, I am an old school gamer, PC mostly. I played UT online via PC when it first came out in 1999 and the Dooms and Quakes before that. I've played them all since then but only the PC versions. I've since become an xbox fan. I was bummend when they originally planned to only make this for PS3 but stoked when they changed there mind and brought it to 360.
The Game
It is so much fun to play. The graphics are great and game play is fast and furious. For thos who have never played any Unreal Tournament, think of it as a "Gears of War" version of online "Halo 3". Because basically, Bunji stole the whole online gameplay from the original UT. It is all about "run n, gun". For those who have played the 2003 and 2004 versions, only a little has changed. They added vehicles and only a couple of maps, they used some of the old maps in this game. A little disappointing for those of us that were looking for more. (I guess they were too busy twith Gears of War II)
It's still a great game! Have fun with it!!

the game was ok FOR ME but i really do have fun playing the online .
Great game, classic Unreal Tournament action August 10, 2008
This is a great game upholding the Unreal Tournament franchise in fun and intense action. I give it 5 stars for the fun-factor but have to give it an overall 3 stars for the lack of a party system and requirement to hold down a button to voice-chat (yes, I know about the unplug hack).
Unreal Tournament still thrills in UT3!!! August 9, 2008

Unreal Tournament is an online multiplayer shooter that serves up over-the-top graphics with non-stop action. There are two types of players in a UT game -- the quick and the dead. UT delivers hardcore, old-school gameplay and delivers it with speed and spectacle. And yes, with blood and gore too.
The newest iteration, Unreal Tournament 3, offers the same polished shooter action renowned in the early titles along with a slew of new vehicles. Two stand out as something truly fresh to gamers: the Axon Leviathan, a huge mobile battle wagon with turrets for multiple players to inhabit and the Necris Darkwalker -- perhaps the eeriest vehicle ever. The Darkwalker looks like a tri-legged walker from War of the Worlds frighteningly re-imagined by H.R. Giger. If it sees you, run; its heat ray will burn you down to bones almost instantly. Of course, the game gives you opportunities to climb aboard this evil machine and do some of your own terrifying....
As stated in other reviews, UT3 is an evolutionary, not revolutionary, step past earlier efforts. And believe it or not, that's really for the best. While much of the gameplay isn't particularly fresh, it doesn't need to be. Gameplay this fast and furious, this gorgeous and polished, doesn't get old quick. If you have played earlier versions, it'll be like riding a bike again after a long time away -- second-nature but still exhilarating!
There are a few hiccups in the frame rates, yes, but nothing to get upset about. UT is one of those games where I will complain about a momentary graphics glitch like somebody hit my mother but if I had to give the game up, it would have to be pried from my cold, dead hands. People grumble that the PS3 version lets you make and play mods and the 360 version doesn't. This is quite true sadly, but the 360 does have exclusive extras and a superior online experience in Xbox Live.
My biggest complaint about UT3: all the hours of sleep I'm missing playing this game! This game is like virtual crack in that it gets me addicted to my own adrenaline. When I do finally get to sleep, my dreams are invaded by mental images of me still playing this game. Kinda scary, but kinda cool too. Gives you an idea of how intense and how gloriously infuriating this game is.
If you're new to UT, I suggest you play what passes as the single-player campaign as your training or you will be pwned when you take the fight online. There is a bit of a learning curve here for the casual gamer, but this game rewards you with a tremendous depth of experience for a "twitch" shooter. What's great about this game is that when you die, you can immediately get back into the action (except in "Duel" mode) and try again. No waiting to get back in and certainly not for 12 or so seconds like in Halo when you accidentally "suicide."
Unreal Tournament 3 is a must-own game for Xbox 360 shooter fans.
(Bonus: Also check out Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. It's a backward-compatible original-Xbox game that offers first-person shooter gameplay married to third-person melee action. It's a cool twist on UT that takes some time to master but will make you feel like a Jedi Knight when you've gotten it down. This still works online. And did I mention there's fatalities? The game can be found used for $5 and is a steal at that price!)
