    Unreal Tournament 2004 is a game that shows that in 2004 the games were very good. The game has very good graphics for its time and a GREAT gameplay! This is a game that I will cherish forever. One of the ways I've played most is the Instagib. I recommend you download the game, because you will spend the whole time playing this game, which is certainly a great game made by Epic Games.

One way I want to play a lot is the multiplayer, which should be great. The game has a variety of good weapons, and that really pleased me.… Expand

    Esse jogo na minha opinião foi uma inovação, de como jogar fps. Jogabilidade impecável, gráficos excelentes, imersão fantástica. Um fator mediano seria seu enredo, que na época poderia ser clichê: por ser mais um jogo de espionagem "militar". No geral um jogo tecnicamente excelente por sua mecânica e imersão.

    Still an absolutely amazing game today in 2018, which is what, 14 years after release? Good graphics - not too busy, not too dark, not too simplistic either - yet super fast frame rates, very precise and responsive controls with keyboard + mouse, and tons of freedom of movement.

    The successor games UT3 and UT4 are visually more complex, which looks good in a static image, but is    Still an absolutely amazing game today in 2018, which is what, 14 years after release? Good graphics - not too busy, not too dark, not too simplistic either - yet super fast frame rates, very precise and responsive controls with keyboard + mouse, and tons of freedom of movement.

    The successor games UT3 and UT4 are visually more complex, which looks good in a static image, but is distracting in actual gameplay (and of course they are also more GPU intensive). If you have ever seen a FPS where the targets need to be highlighted with a red outline or a circle or something to be discernible, that's the "too much visual complexity" issue I am talking about. Thankfully, Unreal Tournament 2004 is visually crisp and clean enough that none of these hacks are necessary. UT3 and UT4 are also more sluggish and restrictive in their range of movement.

    This game isn't just instant hitscan or button mashing - instead, there are many weapons with trajectories that, with skill, can be timed and released within just the right fraction of a second for maximum effect. The online community is still going strong and surprisingly well mannered, too. Arcade like pace in 3D FPS. Protip: Get a gaming monitor with lightboost, ULMB, or similar motion blur reduction for clearest possible motion, it will make a difference in this game.

    My favorite game mode is freeze tag, where players temporarily freeze for about three minutes rather than die, and the game is over only when every member of a team is frozen. Frozen players can thaw in just a few seconds if a healthy team member is standing or moving right next to them - but that's a risky move for the healthy player, since he becomes an easier target. This kind of risk taking to help thaw your team members, who in turn can help you, builds a real sense of community and cooperation.    … Expand

    The best FPS multiplayer games from 2004. This game has action, great graphics and gameplay is awesome. You can play this game with your friends on servers or LAN. Maps are relatively large, weapons are strong. In this game you will not be bored.

    One of the best polished Unreal games of it's time Unreal Tournament 2004 immerses the player in high energy battles and objectives / competitions. The user has the freedom to mod / build game assets and host said assets live in custom public games on the master server! that is my favorite part! This is a flawless release in my opinion, and will always be one of my favorite games to memory.

    The game that defined graphics for more than a decade. We should all just pay respect for this. In addition, who would still say no to a match? lol...

    Absolutely fantastic. Going back to this game so many years later has reaffirmed how good it actually is. Maps are great, weapons are fun. UT2004 is certainly one of the all-time best arena fps games that ever existed. Hopefully one day we see the resurgence of the afps genre again.

    Fast-paced multiplayer fun! There are many game types and customization options to provide a tremendous amount of variety. I remember playing this game at LAN parties in the mid-2000's. Although this game really is best enjoyed for its multiplayer with real human opponents, the single-player game is also quite good.

    Give me back these FPSs, where really if you were good, you were REALLY good in this genre. Not like now they do a royal victory on Fortnite or win a game on Warzone and feel like pro gamers... But EpicGames wanted to do the EpicFails by drowning UnrealTournament 2014 by making room for Fortnite...

    God forgive us

    Just pure adrenaline, I have vague memories of playing it in my childhood but replaying it again last year made me realize it was even better than I thought,

    It's a brilliant collage of smooth, polished gameplay, solid netcode, unadulterated diversity, and a frenetic pacing few games can rival.

    It may just be the best arcade style online shooter ever made, and it’ll likely only be unseated by next year’s incarnation.
