I thought id Review Unreal tournament 3, ive written a few reviews so it wont be all that bad

When i inittialy bought it i didn't really know what to expect, whether it would be an all out frag fest or a large scale warfare game, but it turned out to be both. There are a variety of modes, ranging from your usual Deathmatch right up to warfare mode.

-Game modes-

-Deathmatch- Your usall all versus all fragfest

-Team deathmatch- Same as deathmatch but there is two teams

-Capture the flag- One of the most popular game modes in games to date, you have to get your enemys flag and return it to your flag thats in your base, vice versa

-Duel- One versus one with a waiting que, winner stays on, loser goes back of the line.

-Vehicle capture the flag- Basicly capture the flag with bigger maps and vehicles

-Warfare- Each team has a main core, and there are a number of "Nodes" that must be captured, to attack an enemys core, it must be linked to a node you control, which also must be linked to a node which in turn must eventually need to be connected to your main core. vice versa

-Weapons-

There are many Great weapons in unreal tournament nearly all of them being from the original, but obviously upgraded in some way or form.

1) Impact hammer.

A tool that has two funtions, the first being charged up to delever lots of pressure to the unlucky dude on the other end, in turn, turning him to micemeat.

The secondary fire, same as above but uses EMP, it steals peoples powerups, and knowcks back light vehicles and disables heavier vehicles for a short time.

7/10

2) Enforcer

A basic pistol, nothing special can be dual wielded, has 2 fire modes single shot and burst.

5/10

3) Bio rifle

One of my favourites, primary fire shoots blobs of goo that either explode on impact or lay on the floor for some muppet to tread on them.

Secondry fire charges up a massive blob of goo, that either 1 hit kills someone or makes a massive powerful yet very noticeable blob mine.

8/10

4) Rocket laucnher

What would unreal be without this eh? it has 4 fire modes the first being normal click, fires a single rocket that can be locked onto some vehicles, but is blind fire generally, the second is holding secondry fire and charging up 3 rockets that shoot out in a funnel shape.


The third, while holding secondry fire and charging three rockets, press primary fire to change the mode to spiral, which makes the 3 rockets hit roughly the same area, press primary a second time, while still holding secondry, changing the mode to grenade which launchers 3 grenades instead of rockets.

10/10

5) Flak cannon

Awesome gun, promary is basicly a shotgun that fires shrapnel which bounces off of surfaces, secondry laucnhing a grenade which explodes and laucnhes shrapnel in every direction.

9/10

6) Sniper rifle

Simple sniper rifle nothing special, Primary shoots, secondry zooms.

8/10

7) Longbow avril

Crossbow rocket launcher hybrid, Primary fires a rocket, secondry locks onto a vehicle OR tells spiders from spider mines where to go.

8/10

8) Redeemer

NUKE!!!!! Primary is a dumb fire nuke, Secondry is a Nuke which you guide with your mouse, be careful people can shoot the nuke, in turn, disabling it.

9/10

9) Shock Rifle

The infamous shock rifle, primary fire is a instant hit laser beam and secondry is a slow moving bakll of plasma, both powerful in there own right, but fire a ball and shoot it with the beam and BOOM!!!

Big explosion

9/10

10) Stinger minigun

Primary is your standard minigun, secondry is a slower fireing more powerful firemode, designed to tackle vehicles

8/10

11) Link gun

Most usefull thing in the game, primary is a plasma rifle, secondry is a beam that can zap enemys, repair vehicles, construct nodes and be a bother to enemy vehicles, oh and it also slows people down while they are getting zapped

10/10

There are also many vehicles in the game but theres 15 and i dont have time to review them all but be sure that there is everything for everyone from fast moving vehicles to big hulking walkers.


-Sound-

Brilliant music and funny taunts, crisp quality and lots of hardware support.

10/10

-Graphics-

Can look absoloutly astonishing on a high end machine, and looks brilliant on a mid range machine and can even run ona 2ghz 512mb ram machine while still looking ok.

And its a very flexable engine.

9/10

-Controls-

You can customize every button, and mouse speed etc. Nothing wrong here

10/10

-Value-

Its around £15 and thats for the collectors edition from GAME, brilliant value for money, and down the line as with all unreal games you can expect more mods to bolster your game library

10/10

Well the game is great i ran into a few problems, but it might just be my machine. But overall i give it a.
