Unreal Tournament (1999) Game of the Year Edition For PC Shooter Reviewed 3/28/04 Rated M for Intense Violence, Blood, Language
Game Design: 2.5/2.5: This game has no real, strong plot. What it does have is a series of Deathmatch, Domination (which is like Zones in TS2), Capture the Flag and Assault matches in its 1P mode. The multiplayer mode obviously requires a network, but the 1P is so addictive you'll forget about it. The challenges range from fairly simple to tough but not so much as you throw down your head in disgust (just how I like my 1P). Best FPS 1P ever. One word of warning: there are very few weapons, but no matter.
Play Control: 2/2: For those still using the arrow keys, switch to WASD. It make it a lot easier. If you don't, expect some strain. Either way, only 5 buttons need be pressed (WASD & Space) (other keys can be used, but it easier to use the mouse and avoid them). If your mouse has a scroll, you need not even use the number keys. Kick ass.
Graphics: 2/2: Crisp and clean. Nothing groundbreaking, but good enough for '99.
Sound: 1/1: The cursing and yelling can be heard clearly. That's how I like my cursing and yelling.
Satisfaction: 2.5/2.5: I didn't pay s*** for it (just borrowed the CD), so I am sure as hell satisfied, but it is worth it. God bless installation though (saves me muchos money).
Total: 10/10: This game is the uber-shooter. No, seriously, it is the uber shooter. I don't know about the multiplayer, the 1P is GoldenEye good. Just goes to show me I need to play more PC games. General Rating: 5 Stars Also Play: Wolfenstein, TimeSplitters 2, GoldenEye, Unreal Tournament 2003
