Summary

The stakes are high. On the one hand, fame, fortune, glory; on the other hand, death. Prove your skill in the arenas of the future, leading your team of computer-controlled "bots" to victory in the Grand Tournament, or compete with the best of the best via LAN or the Internet in seat-of-your-pants battles. While Unreal Tournament offers the finest in classic "Deathmatch" play, right out of the box you can compete in Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag. Control strategic points on the map to rack up your score in Domination, or test your skills in Assault, as one team defends its base from the other. Each game type comes with its own special maps and rules, for never-ending variety and challenge. Add gameplay mutators such as Jump Match or InstaGib, and Unreal Tournament will keep your wits honed to a razor edge. [Infogrames]

    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.

    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.
