Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews


Please vote if you've played enough of Unreal Tournament 3 to judge, but feel free to leave comments about your feel for the game.

Top marks should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get an average (not a good like some media would have you believe).

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

gave it 8/10 as it's what i think it deserves, enjoying it at the moment but it could get repetitive in the long run, dont like how the chapters are mapped out, wish they would have put chapter points so u could redo certain episodes instead of all the chapter, it worked on gears and rainbow six vegas so why not here.

not happy about the comms or the lobby system which is why it dropped points for me.

great graphics and simple pick up and play attitude, love the graphics on the outer space level, think its deimos not sure though.

overall decent game which will keep me happy until u know what on 7th nov.

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

Excellent for me, only thing that bugged me very slightly was the comms but that will no doubt be fixed in an update. I may be a bit biased playing every game in the series since unreal but this is an excellent fast paced shooter and in my opinion just what the 360 needs

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

Excellent for me.

Fast paced, pick up and play shooter. Takes a bit of getting used to when you first pick it up becasuse everthing seems so... erm.... fast. But you soon get used to it. Stick with it past the first couple of missions and you'll find your groove.

Graphics are fantastic (not too far behind GOW and COD 4 IMHO).

Single player is suprisingly good - really enjoyed what is usually a tacked on mode. Multiplayer is where its at though - and this is where the game really shines - warfare mode is awesome, very tactical for such a fast paced game, but works really well. The old classics are here too (deathmatch, Teamdeath match, capture the flag etc) and the vehicles are a nice addition too.

If I had to rate the 360 shooters this game would easily be in the top 5

To sum up a really fun, easy to pick up game that looks good and is a joy to play in both single and multiplayer

Thumbs down Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

I found this game really poor unfortunately, while I wasn't expecting the depth that accompanies battlefield or COD 4, more game would have been nice.

I find the controls online and offline jellyfied and unresponsive. Graphics are fantastic, sounds apart from the repetitive voices are amazing, unfortunately gameplay and longevity, imo, are terrible. Voted bad.

EDIT: I played this on my friends console, his profile, hence the reason it not showing in my games list.

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

Voted very good as it is especially the co-op campaign but the mp needed a party system to compete with the likes of Halo and Cod4 so no excuse really. Bring on Nov for the dash update then hopefully all games should have a party compatible system from dash.

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

Very poor in my opinion. 2 out of 10. Poor gameplay, very stupid AI on all the difficulty levels. Very run and gun type of gameplay, graphics average. Traded it in after less than a week.

Having said all that the veihicles are absolutely awesome! Driving the Tripod is something I shall remember for a very long time. The veihcles are what gets the 2 points for me.

As the above poster says, you can't have been playing this at any difficulty other than the very easy ones and I don't understand how you can say the graphics are average!!! I want whatever 360 games you play if you have something so amazing it makes UT3 look average!!!!

Re: Unreal Tournament 3 Xbox 360 reviews

I loved unrealT 2000 as a shooter, and i like this, but in my opinion it's not innovative or smth like that(sry for my english), many things are old enough ;/ just the graphics is quite nice... i'll rate it 8/10
