(UPDATE Dec 2008) Unreal III (aka Unreal 3 Tournament) - NOT RECOMMENDED

Unreal 3 sucks. If you don't believe me, google for "unreal 3 sucks". And then try googling for "unreal 2004 sucks". See what I am talking about?

I tried the demo and even bought the full version. Sad to say, the game is missing many useful UI elements (e.g. font size adjustment and Tab key to display score board) and gameplay (e.g. many weapons and vehicles removed) from Unreal 2004. No doubt the graphics are good, but the overall game still sucks.

Unregistered Anonymous I played all the UT servers but I have to say if you are wanting to try out any of the make it UT3 UT2003 is dead for on-line play and UT2004 have about maybe 25 or 30 server and 95% of the idiots still play are leftover want be cheat using Helios and other cheat not worth it.
But for the best bang for the buck UT3 is cool graphics and game play are much better then any of the other UT versions.
