Please--pick this up now!!
I review shooter games on this site, because that is pretty much all that I play. Unreal Tournament 3 build upon an already solid multiplayer shooter franchise with better graphics, sound, and enhanced gameplay modes.
For such a pretty game, it will run on modest hardware (it ran on my old single core CPU with most of the effects turned to Medium). As of now, I have a dual core CPU with a NVIDIA graphics card, and I can play this game on high with no lag on multiplayer.
I love the gameplay. The explosions, the weapons, and the vehicles make this game worth playing. Not much of a backstory--something about some guy named Reaper and his sister--but given there's a lot of butt-kicking, there is no room for backstory.
Pros: Game is great looking, runs on modest hardware, and has great weapons, all taken from the previous games in the franchise.
Cons: Some of the gameplay ideas are odd to me. I mean, who uses a mining tool as a melee weapon? Given that there are some tough characters in the game, can't they have been given some form of hand to hand combat instead of some stupid Impact Hammer? (karate for the Ronin faction, maybe boxing for the Malcolm character, etc?) Then again, given that I am a martial artist, this view might be somewhat biased. Also, there seem to be a lack of mods out there.
Overall: Buy this game. Your five senses will thank you.

Ive Played Many Shooting Games But...
This game is the most amazing game i have played. With incredible graphics and amazing weapons and vehicles its pretty much halo reach with call of duty game play. When i am sick of shooting games and want something different i play this game. I play it on the PC so it may be different from the ps3 or xbox 360 version of it but i am sure the differences are very little. I would recommend this game to halo fans and call of duty fans because it is a good mix of a halo type storyline with call of duty game play

UT3 is Epic's most epic game yet!
UT3 was something i could not wait for when i heard it was almost out. All the previous UT games were awesome and I didn't know what to expect from UT3. I didn't look up images or anything about it until i got it and tried it to not spoil the games epicness. And my jaw dropped. It had the original UT controls, which are really simple and easy to use. It's interface was like the original UT games but had a new level of detail put into it. And the Sound/Graphics were just EPIC. UT2k4 was like nothing in comparison to the quality level of UT3! It blew my mind! It was a game made with many skill levels, ones for beginners, and others for pretty decent players. So it was a game for anyone. But the storyline... now that was a HUGE problem. I know Epic Games was trying a new thing, but I really enjoyed the classic Single Player mode where you could pick the type of game and do the match your on. Where now they make you do either a map or a choice of 2. That was one of my favorite parts in the UT games, the campaign and how they set it up. UT3 killed it. But even with all that said, the Storyline was still pretty interesting and cool at times. So over all, this game is just plainly Epic Games most epic game yet made! I hope they keep this Unreal series going, but fixing the Storyline issue.

MUST HAVE GAME
This game is amazing, when I first put the game in, I thought it was going to be boring and not fun because it only cost $** but after I started playing, it blew me away. The action, the weapons, the vehicles, and the characters are amazing. When you play online you can play 64 people at once and you can send messages and add friends online. If you don't want to play online or play on the campaign, you can play against the computer and if you want it to play easy on you, just set it to easy, if you want to practice and play on hard, you can set it to that. The controls are very simple to learn and takes about a minute to figure out and then your having a blast. After I started playing, I realized I've been playing it for 4 hours, yeah it's that addicting. If you like to play games like Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, this is a game that you should buy because its loads of fun, only costs $**, and there are lots of people online and if you want to, you can play in tournaments and get cash prizes. This is a must-have game.

Very,very, nice
When I first got this game, I was very excited. Having played all of the Unreal's prior,I was chopping at the bits to get this one. At first, I was a little disappointed. However, after a couple of patches and some getting used to, I love it! I think the biggest adjustment most people have to make is that it isn't UT2004. It is it's own game,it plays different than 2k4, it's definitely prettier than 2k4, and what I love best, is you can't bounce around like a grasshopper on crack like in 2k4. The vehicles are easy to control, the hoverboard is a really cool addition, and vehicle capture the flag is really fun. Many people bash this game for the story line. Duh! it's an FPS, who cares about a stupid story line? If you buy this game just for the single player story mode you're crazy. So, in review, the gameply is incredible, the graphics are sweet, and the story line sucks. Makes for a great shooter. Be warned though, if you go online most of the players are seasoned UT vets who will show you no mercy.

greatest first person shooter ever
The Unreal Franchise is the best first person shooter games I have ever seen!!!!! you're not supposed to play unreal tournament for the story mode only for the multiplayer the graphics on unreal tournament 3 are absolutely amazing the vehicles and weapons are incredible you cannot say that you don't have fun when you hear the words HEADSHOT or ULTRA KILL. However I do miss Onslaught mode from unreal tournament 2004. And so far from what I've seen it's lacking user created maps but I'm sure they will come out with it soon. But nonetheless this is a very good unreal tournament game. As I said before don't buy this game for the story mode if you do I'm sorry but you're an idiot buy this game for the online death matches. But before you buy this game remember that it has quite a bit of system requirements if you don't have a good computer then maybe you should get the PS3 version or the Xbox 360 version if you want it to be the best you can get. But the computer will all ways be the best version you can buy incase you want to play on multiple computers in the house/apartment/trailer/huh trash can. Nevertheless this is a must own game that stuns me every time I play it.

Not UT
I don't know what went wrong, or why they tampered with the forumla, but this game is NOT UT. I popped this game in with high hopes, but I was let down all around. The single player is awful. They changed the entire object of the game. Where before UT was an 'extreme sport' of the future, they changed it; tried to GoW it up, but they failed epicly. They muddled it up with story, instead of just being an extreme sports rockstar of the future, you're in some war. A ridiculous war where you play games of capture the flag to determine the victor. The whole game is a bit of a joke, serious lack of customization, nothing compared to previous versions, and not alot of selection. Overall, this is just not a great game. I would reccomend alot before I'd reccomend this.

This game is amazing. If your looking for a good mulitplayer game this is for you.
Ok lets first start out with the singleplayer and mulitplayer. First you want to play Multiplayer because the singleplayer is sucky they try to make it like there is a story but your just doing the same thing as in multiplayer. Im not saying its boring it is like you are playing Mulitplayer beacause the AI is very smart. O ya you can play the story with your friends and other people that is really fun. The mulitplayer is below. This game is the best don't read all thoughs people who say this game is bad. theres alot of new things in this game The Graphics look better then gears of war. Gameplay is amazing. Guns are more Beastly everything has new moves but keeping the old stuff. Amazing new maps. Awsome new game modes. If you like halo or you hate it you will love this. And if you love gears of war you will really love this game. If you like fast FPS mulitplayer games you will love this!
