    Immersive multiplayer gameplay that really shines with 12 or more players at once. Teamwork is key, and although very similar to Tribes, the Unreal engine is rock solid. The weapons are much more creative than most FPSs. Although there is no Free-For-All or Deathmatch mode, this is ultimately a good thing, as the game is really set apart from current multiplayer games when played in its one mode. Single player is the same game as the original Unreal II, and is set in a great environment, but has the gameplay and AI of a game put out 6 years ago. I bought the original Unreal II just for this free multiplayer add-on, and it's well worth the sub $20 pricetag for a brand new multiplayer game. There's really no need to buy the special edition packaging, unless you really like the box that much.… Expand

    The new XMP mode isn't all that original, but it offers a solid gameplay experience.

    A rather fine multiplayer experience, and certainly much more than Unreal II gone deathmatch.

    It looks great and plays good. Don't hesitate to get this version if you've felt at all left out in the cold by last year's Unreal 2. It's more than just a frag fest.
