GAME SUMMARY

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

Rating: 4.7 (71 votes cast)

Unreal Tournament is the original King of the Hill in the frag-or-be-fragged multiplayer gaming world. As the undisputed 1999 Game of the Year, Unreal Tournament grabbed the first person shooter genre by the soiled seat of its pants and knocked it around the room with its never-before-seen graphics, brutal edge-of-your-seat gameplay and a massive and varied feature list that gave gamers more than they ever expected.

  • Novice Mode - This Botmatch competition is where new flak fodder hit boot camp. The Novice setting makes the computer controlled Bots in the game move slower and inflict less damage with their attacks. For those new to first person shooters, this is where teeth are cut, skills are born and addiction begins...
  • Hardcore Mode - Strap on extra armor and have a hand towel next to your mouse pad to wipe away the palm sweat. This mode is only for the pros -- all of the bots move like lightning -- dodging, jumping and inflicting A LOT more damage with their standard attacks than do their Novice counterparts.
  • Enhanced Bot AI - Bots in Unreal Tournament play as if they're jacked up on a big old shot of steroids. Their basic deathmatching skills have been virtually perfected, their understanding of the game rules is professorial, their ability to navigate levels is GPS-like, and their threat to your existence is very real.
  • Radio Chatter - Each of the commands at your disposal in the game is accompanied by both a text message on screen AND an audio message. Pleas for back-up or for cover fire are accompanied by pre-recorded sequences communicating your needs. Making this especially cool is the fact that you can hear your opponents' messages too (even if you're playing against bots 'cause bots are people, too).
  • New Command Line Options - For the hardcore server masters, this is the dream way to access features and manage a game. Virtually any option you want to tweak can be accessed via the UT command line. Nice and easy!
  • Improved User Interface - Unreal Tournament introduced a better way to see what is happening during a game. By using a unique heads up display (HUD) for each game type (Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, and Assault), the game provides ALL the info needed to play effectively WITHOUT bombarding the player with excessive info.
  • UBrowser - Unreal Tournament's robust Ubrowser system provides the easiest way to find a game on the Internet and jump into battle. The Ubrowser eliminates the need to download third-party server querying applications. It's as simple as one-two-frag. By clicking on the "Play Online" button and then selecting a server from the list, the game is on.
  • Spectator Cams - Watching a game of Unreal Tournament has the potential to be almost as much fun as playing it. Thanks to the Spectator Cams, gamers can enter a game and hop around to designated Spectator Cams to view the action on the level. Even cooler, the camera can be "attached" to one of the players in the level to view the action from their perspective. Either way, it's a cool feature and a great way to learn for people new to the world of online gaming.
  • Jump Mode - Jump twice as high as normal. It's sorta' like having a never-ending pair of jumpboots on. The impact these boots have on gameplay is almost indescribable. It changes the dynamic completely.

Unreal Tournament: GOTY

By freeoath posted 16th January

Unreal Tournament is the game that will never grow old. The FPFPS (Fast Phased First Person Shooter) genre have pretty mich died out now but in the 90's and early 00's both UT and Quake owned the market, and if you ask me. UT was the better one!

UT will give you a exciting thrillride with adrenaline gameplay that keeps you on alert at all time. With a good number of maps and very good AI bots for this era of gaming. UT is without any doubt one of the best game series ever

This is the best Shoot em up I ever played and that I still play now.... Strange that all their sequels never reached to get the charmm of this first edition... maybe because it was programmed in C++ ... who will ever know... with all the maps and mods like monsterhunt, quad capture the flag and Bunnytrack this games is a must for every real pro gamer in the world... it is a main classic that can be a good base for each beginning gamer : )))))

Great game. All these years later it's still fun to play.

If you enjoy fast-paced multiplayer shooters, you should at LEAST try this.

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition review

Forget CoD, battlefield and all the rest. This is the best deathmatch FPS ever created by human beings on planet Earth!

Too bad that Cliffy B went on to become such a lame 'celebrity' completely full of himself - cause he designed some really good levels for this one. Speaking of levels, there are like, what, 40? How many FPS games give you that amount of content nowadays? It has become the norm that you must replay the same select few maps (unless you buy DLC, lol), spending ages to grind through MMO-type 'levels' before you can even try out other guns that are, in the end, probably just like the one you used before: boringly realistic.

But back in the day, Epic really knew how to make a fun, long-lasting fragging game with a varied arsenal of weapons (NO GRINDING to get these - so liberating in the current FPS landscape!), power-ups, great selection of maps and fast-paced gameplay.

Oh yeah, it was back in 1999, baby ... the year of the very first, and still the best, Unreal Tournament!

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition review

By Exploding-Bob posted 15th January 2011

One Review at it´s time said that UT99 actually instantiated Multiplayer, while breaking the future of the genre at the same time. Well to some part it´s not true. Namely just because of fact that the genre is still alive and well today. But in same way this is still true. Successive Multiplayer generations had very little to add to the recipe, making UT99 still a valid option for fun & fast multiplayer action, today. This makes a true Classic.

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition review

By FrenziedAU posted 22nd July 2010

Unreal Tournament is, simply put, a classic. Fast paced gameplay, smooth graphics that are still decent today, a good array of weapons that all work in a slightly different manner, and some very fun maps. There aren't all that many people playing online, and games you'll find are mostly using mods, but it's still possible to get a game.

For netbook users - Unreal Tournament runs perfectly. :)
