Amazon.com Product Description

What could be better than launching a rocket down a corridor as a computer-controlled opponent runs for cover? Answer: using an impact hammer on a friend. Unreal Tournament, the award-winning, multiplatform gem of first-person mayhem, has finally come to the Dreamcast. The game features more than 70 maps designed specifically for the old Swirl, as well as 10 very powerful weapons. The game's multiplayer mode allows you to take on up to six other players over the Internet, or go against a buddy in your own home via split-screen display.

Unreal Tournament for the Dreamcast rocks! It's got:

- very good graphics, though not as good as Quake III

- 60 (!) levels, most of them are awesome with for example hidden buttons to trigger an object (to ... the enemy ;) and snipingplaces and sneaky corners to surprise the enemy but also great battlefields

- cool music and sound

- great AI, much better than Quake III; when the enemy is hurt he'll retreat and they haven't just got a higher hit% like Quake III but they'll really act smarter if you turn up the difficultylevel

- unreal (had to use this once ;) multiplayer mode: up to 4 players on one Dreamcast with a decent framerate

- ... weapons; both firing in two different ways including a sniper rifle, biosludge gun, chainsaw :) and much more

- subtle auto-aim, enough to make it playable with the Dreamcastcontroller but not too much to spoil the game

Convinced?

This review is from: Unreal Tournament (Video Game)

When I rented this game, it had a lot of standards to live up to. I am a proud owner of both Quake 3 for Dreamcast, and Unreal Tournament for PC. I can say that this game certainly lives up to the hype, and does its name justice. If you have played the PC version, you may first judge the game by what it does not have. It's graphics arent quite as clean as the PC version's, and it is missing 4 model types (female, Skraaj, Nali, and Nali Warcow). But after playing it for a few minutes, you will forget all of that, and see what it has. The framerate is fairly smooth, and split-screen play doesn't affect it much. The sound is unchanged; all of your favorite taunts are there. The control is a big step up from Quake 3 for Dreamcast. In Quake 3, the controller made it difficult to aim. Unreal Tournament solves that by adding an auto-aim feature. This helps play immensly. But I know you don't care about all of this. You want to know about online play. Well, it is definately very good. Instead of limiting you to for players, up to 8 players can duke it out for dominance. That's right, capture the flag is now playable! It it usually runs very smoothly. I only had one instance of timeout so far, so it is pretty stable. So if your a Dreamcast owner looking for a good FPS, or a Unreal Tournament fan looking for split-screen play or new stages, give Unreal Tournament for Dreamcast a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars good on-line game for DC, April 17, 2001

If you play on-line on your Dreamcast this is a game worth purchasing. On-line gaming is unbelievable. There really is no lag as the game play is quite smooth at all time. I'm not joking. I play NFL2K1 all the time and I experience lag a lot. But, I was very surprised to see there was no lag in UT even with 8 players on line. I have a keyboard and mouse--which I think makes the game much easier to play. My friend uses the controller. He seems to have no problem. It takes a little more time to just get used to it. "Auto aim" makes it easier. I have a lot of fun playing this game.
