Take on all comers in a variety of game modes including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, an all-new Warfare mode and more.

My Current Rating:

Graphics -
Based upon the Unreal 3 Engine, which was used in Gears of War (using version 1.00), but now the Unreal engine has reached its maturity; honestly this is the most graphically intense game aside from Bioshock; no other game has made me say, WoW!. I did spot a few visual glitches, but this was just the demo; it should be fixed in the final game, but that doesn't hurt its score. - 10/10 -

Gameplay -
More brutal, more fast, and more intense than any Unreal game that has been released; weapons all kill in 1-3 hits. Move aside the Sword from Halo, the Impact Hammer owns, not only can you obliterate your enemies, you can also team kill by pushing them off a cliff. Vehicles control well, the vehicles from UT2k4 have been remodeled and redone well. Also there have been an addition of a few new vehicles, new weapons (highly modified originals) have been added also; though as great as they are, they are still lacking a little bit. - 9/10 -

Sound -
Everything in this game has been revamped to HD, the graphics, the gameplay, and also the sounds. Using an uber version of the announcer in UT2k4, it sounds awesome. The best thing is the sounds of an intense fire fight; you shooting your powerful rockets while plasma bullets and shock waves fly past you, positioning is done well, so you can tell where you are being hit from. - 10/10 -

Average rating -
9.8/10
