TotalGames.netGet your fix of mindless killing right here, you won''t regret it - this is after all ''Unreal''.
-
What little it lacks in gameplay sits UT a close second to Eidos' excellent "TimeSplitters."
-
It's not going to look and run as well as it does on an Athlon 1Ghz with a GeForce 2 Ultra, but for PlayStation 2 owners, it's one of the best FPS games out there at launch.
-
The PS2 version of UT is like caffeine-free diet Mountain Dew -- the taste is there, but what’s the point? The game AI provides a solid single player experience, but without acceptable multiplayer the game is lacking what really made it great on the PC.
-
A solid game. It doesn't make anywhere near the full use of the PS2, nor does it add a lot to the mix in order to compensate for the natural lack of ubiquitous mouse/keyboard support and Internet play.
-
It certainly looks and runs a sight better than any first-person shooter from the previous console generation, and console gamers new to Unreal likely won't be disappointed by how it looks or plays.
-
In order to make UT a little more playable for the casual gamer, an auto-targeting option was added to UT PS2, which makes the FC and SR even more powerful in human multiplayer.
-
Has consistently ambitious level design throughout, even in the PS2-exclusive maps, and the entire game benefits from it.
-
There are simply a huge number modes and options and game types to venture through in this game, so many that you'll likely never tire of things to try here.
-
Who is the audience for this game on the PS2? The answer is really only those who don't own either a Dreamcast or a decent PC.
-
While UT certainly does not break new ground, it makes a good transition from the PC and offers much with its unique game types and excellent multiplayer.
-
Definitely the best next-generation FPS out right now.
-
Da GameboyzAlthough not graphically as good as the PC version, UT for the PS2 still offers up the same stellar sound and enough single player action to keep you satisfied.
-
Games RadarThe PS2 version doesn't have any extra features that might make up for the lack of certain technically impossible bits and pieces.
-
Visually stunning with tons of detail, an extreme amount of firepower, and beautifully violent deaths.
-
It's a good game and a good PC conversion, but without true multiplayer and no real one-player quest, it's an appetizer and not quite a meal.
-
Daily RadarEven with the supported keyboard and mouse, UT is only a good game that will become a great one once the PS2 heads online.
-
CNET GamecenterA fun game, if you can get over the poor multiplayer support and buy yourself a USB-compatible keyboard and mouse.
-
AntagonistJust go buy the PC version.
-
Unfortunately, this version of Unreal Tournament does lose a lot in the translation. Although the basic game is very much the same, this title was created to be played online.
-
This particular version of [Unreal Tournament] seems more like a beta than a well-aged port.
-
This port needed more time to clean up the framerate and spruce up the visuals.
-
Most everything about the PS2 version makes us cringe, especially since we know how much the PC version of Unreal Tournament rocks.
