After taking back Black and White I was wondering around Electronics Boutique looking for a worthy replacement. I heard some people here go online Eliminating each other playing the one and only UNREAL TOURNAMENT. I got it for £30 which I later found out was a bargain. Once home I sat down and found out you can play with 16 people online(which impressed me very much).Obviously you cannot play online yet but it can’t be that far away.
You start the game by having the Deathmatch mode which puts you up against 1 computer Bot. After completing 3 of these you can move on to Team Deathmatch, which teams you with 3 other of the computer players against 4 other Bots. Then after completing 4 of these you unlock Domination which means you have to defend a base while capturing one at the same time. The next mode is capture the flag which you can probably guess what you have to do. Can’t think of anymore at the moment.
Deathmatch
In the Deathmatch you are up against the latest al bots and as you get further through they will get harder, faster and make sparks fly with their rocket launchers. There is 8 to get through all of which are not at all disappointing. Your on your own now and this is good training before you play online.
Team Deathmatch
You are now teamed up with 3 other people and while playing the 1 player you discover they are not the brightest or best at killing or anything. They heavily rely on your battle skill so get good in Deathmatch before you let your team down. You are the team captain so you always have someone covering you, which is very annoying, as they don’t do anything except get in your way.
Domination
There are 3 bases scattered around the level and you have to capture them, stand by them and dissolve any enemy that comes near them. This is also done in teams so yet again you are teamed up with a bunch of stupid, clumsy old women for the match. Remember your always the team captain so try and get good and do not let your team down coz they need you.
Capture the flag
As stated by the title you and your TEAM have to capture the enemy’s flag but at the same time need someone to guard yours at the same time. Make sure you put two of your team at your base(not much use anyway) one half way to the others and yourself should take the role of the thief capturing the flag.
Online
The online version has not come out obviously for the ps2 but I have the pc version and I play online regularly. This is for the experts and should be taken after you have completed the game. People here are excellent and when I went online straight away I was mullered.
This short and un-sweet review of Unreal Tournament is just to introduce you to the story which will be posted soon. The arenas are dripping with atmosphere and is a must buy for any formats.
