Before Halo was crowned the FPS multiplayer king there was a game called "Unreal Tournament" which released on the PC in 1999. The game was a huge success. The follow ups were "Unreal Tournament 2003, and Unreal Tournament 2004". Each game brought something new to the table which included: Weapons, maps, and graphics. Well quickly after the enormous sales of UT2004, Epic Games announced their newest installment "Unreal Tournament 2007". The graphics shown looked to be far away from a reality, 3 years to be exact. Epic realised that there was a chance that the game was not going to release in 2007 so they quickly changed the title to "Unreal Tournament 3". Luckily for us the PS3 version was released today and I have my review all ready to go.
Graphics 10/10
Not only is this the best looking Unreal game ever made, I think its the best looking PS3 game ever made. No tearing, No framerate issues, Gorgeous landscapes and character models. Even the lipsynch in the game is really good. The game really shows off the PS3's power.
Sound 9.5/10
The sound effects and music are as good as your ever going to get. The explosions are thunderous. The weapons each have a unique sound that separates them from the others. The announcers voice is the same as always with him calling out head shots and killing streaks. However I am a bit upset with the fact that I cant change the announcers voice this time. I always favored the sexy female voice and the PS3 is limited to just the males voice.
Gameplay 9.75/10
One thing I noticed about the PC version was that the game movements were incredibly fast. Too fast really. The PS3 version feels perfect and moves at the perfect speed. You can play the game with your sixaxis controller or you can use a USB mouse and keyboard. I tested out my G15 keyboard and G5 mouse with this game I was very impressed with how fluid everything worked. I really forgot I was playing this game on a PS3 and not my PC. Also there is a new Warfare game which introduces orbs and cores. Control the orbs and destroy the cores. I dont want to explain much about it but it definately raises the difficulty. Another thing I noticed was the AI. When you turn the difficulty setting up the AI gets very hard to beat. Dont expect to win 20-0 against the bots in this game.
Multiplayer 9.5/10
I went and played a few matches online and I was very happy with what I seen. The framerates didnt suffer one bit. With online stats and leaderboards I see this game being the PS3's new #1 online game.
Overall 9.75/10
With superior graphics and fantastic single player and multiplayer modes, Unreal Tournament 3 gets my "Must Purchase Award". Just remember that this game is directed more towards fast paced online shooters.
