Product Description

Platform: PC | Edition: Game of the Year

Amazon.com Product Description

Unreal Tournament earned Action Game of the Year accolades from Gamespot, CNET Gamecenter, and Amazon.com. While other games matched it for single-player and online multiplayer deathmatch excitement, UT stood out as the best team-based action game of 1999. Players duel with sci-fi weapons in such diverse environments as a rocking pirate ship, an amphibious invasion in World War II, and opposing guard towers atop a wildly spinning asteroid.

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition includes 70 new maps and three new modes from which to choose. Tactical Ops is a team-play mode, based around two teams--the elite Special Forces and terrorist groups from around the world. Tactical Ops introduces realistic weapons, maps from actual locations, and never-before-seen scenarios. Rocket Arena is classic one-on-one deathmatch combat with all the weapons at your disposal. Chaos features crazy new weapons, such as a broadsword, living proximity mines that yell at your opponent, and even a small black hole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want a Team-Based Gaming Experience? Look no further., September 22, 2001

Make no mistake - this is it. The best overall FPS experience to be had, bar none.

What's so good about it?

1) Doesn't require much by way of system requirements. If you still have a Voodoo3 with a PII 400 or an K6-2 450, you can play this game, and do it well.

2) More online mods than you shake a modestly sized stick at. Go to Fileplanet, download to your hearts content, and you'll be busy for a very long time.

3) Many modes of game play. Capture the Flag, Assault, Team Deathmatch, Tournament Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, and Domination. I'm partial to CTF myself - Unreal excels in this area. For CTF, no other game comes close to matching Unreal's evenness and tempered play.

4) You can OWN with almost any weapon. Sniper rifles can take off heads even while you're on the run. Rockets, while powerful, are not the end-all weapon like they all in other games. Flak cannons blast flak aroun corners. There's a weapon for almost every situation, and a weapon to thwart THAT weapon as well.

5) A multitude of online servers for every game type. I'm never bored.

6) Completely unexpected modes of gameplay yields the best results. IE - there's a weapon called the "Redeemer". Comparable to a small nuclear device. Kills everything in a 200foot radius. Hard to dodge when one's thrown at you. Imagine playing Capture the Flag with nothing but Redeemers and low gravity? It's a trip, an absolute blast, more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Praise the lord and pass the redeemer.

However, players with dial-up need not apply. Your ping will simply be TOO high.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it ..., November 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition (CD-ROM)

I buy a about one game a year to track the state of game technology. I bought Unreal Tournament last month. I had to return it because the CD would not load, Amazon was super fast and helpful. The game is just amazing!! I'm using it on a Dell 733 PIII with GE Force 32meg graphics card and cable modem. The single player mode is great for learning the game. You can take defaults or program the computer bots yourself. The real fun starts when you hit the net. Tons of game servers available ... all free. Just be prepared to get your a$$ kicked something wicked till you master the game. Actually, there are many different games including several team versions. Online, you can observe as a spectator to learn other players strategies and learn the maps. The quality of the maps is just awesome, very rich details and textures, totally 3D gaming. The speed of play is blazing, takes a while to get used to. Lots of extras available on servers to customize your player and customize maps. You can design your own maps. It never ends. Way beyond the Laura Croft, Quake etc games of the past generation.

I'm a 40something IT Exec and this thing keeps me up at night to blow away the kids. Have fun, happy hunting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely my favorite shooter, September 17, 2001

Paul Tripp (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition (CD-ROM)

When I was younger, I played Wolfenstein and Doom, beat them, thought they were ok. Got a little older, played demos of the Quake games, thought they weren't worth buying. Then I saw a copy of UT, the Game of the Year edition, for a lil bit in a store. I figured since it was a fairly popular game and was being sold inexpesively, I might as well buy it.
I was completely blown away (by the redeemer ;) ). While Deathmatch is pretty boring to me (the main reason I didn't like other shooters), game types like Capture the Flag, Assault, Domination, etc. that add some strategy to the game really made this game worth the money I spent on it and the many, many hours I spent playing it. The AI was actually challenging (most of the time), which I'm not used to seeing in very many games. Plus, playing against human players online is a hell of a lot of fun. Whether you're a fan of FPS games or not, this game is definitely worth it.
