Amazon.co.uk Preview
Purposefully held over to take full advantage of next generation PC graphics cards and the new consoles, this latest sequel in the Unreal Tournament series is looking to set new standards for multiplayer first person shoot ‘em-ups. Considering developer Epic Games’ Unreal graphics technology is used by so many other companies you always know a new Unreal Tournament game is going to look good. There’s tons of new features beyond just eye candy here though, including a whole new game mode called Warfare, which works like a combination of the existing Assault and Onslaught modes, with more involved mission goals that make team play absolutely essential to success.

As you’d expect there’s a hanger full of new vehicles and weapons including some nifty hoverboards for when you’re just on-foot and a number of new robot mechs for you to drive; all with varying numbers of legs including tripods and four-legged walkers. The enormous Leviathan tank is particularly impressive, with four independently manned turrets and a giant energy weapon.

Considerable work has also gone into providing the game with a decent single player mode, never one of the series’ highlights, with newly improved artificial intelligence that allows you to simulate a multiplayer game properly even when you’re playing on your own. User created modifications (mods) will also continue to play a hugely important part in the game’s success with the game shipping with a new version of the Unreal Editor for both PCs and consoles. After a quiet 2006, it seems like 2007 is going to be the best year ever for PC gamers.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic
I have purchased this from Asia with English instructions, so why we have to wait in the UK until March I do not know.
The game plays very fast and the graphics are fantastic. The Campaign, or solo game is just to get you used to the basics of the online game. Although there is a story line this is just a movie and then you fight a version of the online game against AI bots which does not really have anything to do with the movie. Although this is a good way to learn the game before going head to head online.

I thought I would have issues going online as this has not come out in the UK but loads of servers and no issues, not sure if they are PC players I am playing against.

There is already a new map developed by other players which you can download and add to your PS3. Only issue is that you have to download onto PC and then transfer to memory stick to upload to PS3. Tried it and it is easy and simple to do. This means more maps can be designed by players for players, fantastic.

Weapons are great and you can turn up or down the gore which is good.

Highly recommended game.

Brilliant Game
I'm new to the Unreal Tournament series of games having never really got on with FPS games on PC so I am over the moon with how good UT3 is for the PS3.

The one player campaign is ok but after a few missions in I gave up and jumped online. First, getting into an online game is incredibly easy and I have never waited more than a minute. Second, the online games are intense and have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Naturally, it is an incredibly high standard online so I'm still getting whooped but it still doesn't stop me from playing for hours.

Overall, absolutely great but only buy it if you have your PS3 online.

Titan pack - Great value for your money!
Although the unreal engine is showing is age and Unreal Tournament 3 not showing anything new, the recent patch 2.0, include a lot of new stuff, including trophies, split-screen, and the in-game mod browser, not to mention the titan pack, which by itself includes new maps and game modes, which give you enough reasons to buy it. If you are a fan of the series you will have a great fun for sure.
